Store.BarackObama.com: Fail

I ordered an Obama shirt on Store.BarackObama.com on September 14 in hopes of wearing it to debate-watching parties, canvassing, etc. It hasn't even shipped yet -- two and a half weeks later. That means I'd have less than a month to wear it before the election, so I decided to cancel it and try to buy a shirt locally this week.

Then the real fun began. You can't cancel your order online, so I called the listed phone number. It told me no, this isn't the right number -- call another number. THAT number told me that all agents were busy so I should leave a voice mail -- then told me the voice mailbox was full.

So I emailed them on Monday to try to cancel the order. I still haven't heard back.

I mean, I don't mind giving $20 to the Obama campaign. But is this really how they're running their online store? Anyone else had any trouble?

I'd recommend demstore.com. They have been getting me large quantities of gear in pretty short order. As for the BO.com store, well, I think they're just swamped.
