I placed an order for Lightroom 4 on May 8th. I thought I would get an email soon after with a serial number to update my already downloaded trial version of Lightroom. When I didnt, I chatted with live CS and had a lengthy conversation as to where on the order form (or anywhere in the order process) did it say that it took 24hrs to process my lightroom order to get a serial number.
After that, the next day - I get an email from Adobe confirming that the order does take 24hrs to process and that my order is currently pending. Paypal (my method of payment) is currently showing that the payment is still pending. BUT... get this..... I have ZERO RECORDS of ANY purchases in my Adobe past purchases/recent purchases. My order number comes up with NOTHING when I enter it.
Was this CS rep pissed that I called him out on Adobes practices of not telling consumers that it takes at least 24hrs to produce a serial number?
And the best part, the email I got after I spoke with the CS rep says:
