Ok - I've got a few pretty awesome orders in place from mvp.com, put in just before they announced their shutdown. They're still sitting in the 'order has been received' status...
Anybody get *ANYTHING* from MVP in the last week or so ? Any indication whatsoever that mvp.com will fullfill their current orders before going belly-up ? They're still taking orders, which is either good news, or very insulting if they plan on cancelling them all...
If you're brave, here's what I did to get a really good deal from the website... It appears (worked for me anyway) that the website only calculates shipping once, even if you change items on the order. I picked out a golf club, took it all the way to the last step of processing the order (don't confirm it yet !), then backed up to the main page, and then switched what was in my cart to a ping pong table. Normally the $89 freight shipping charge would apply. But since it had already calculated shipping, I got my ping-pong table shipped for $4.99 instead. Correction - I got my ping-pong table ORDERED for $4.99 shipping - hasn't actually shipped yet. Might be worth a shot if you're willing to risk dealing with mvp...
Man I hope this deal goes through.
