this seems like a really nice deal... <wondering why no one replied...> anyways... thanks a lot!

 

[lilstevo]

I think it was cuz they were too busy ordering it...hehe good deal.

 

[cgtran]

Is the delta 50x cd-rom any good. I mean, are quiet, and could they read all major cd format?
I am just curious before I start buying it.

 

[namlook]

Nice deal but Staples rebates SUCK. I've done 5 and I've gotten FOUR postcards back saying there was something wrong with my rebate submissions. I know I included everything. Those people in the rebate center are incompetent morons. My rebates with staples have created more frustration than the damn rebates are worth. Staples rebates is suck.

 

[xDeLiRiOuSx]

darn it, not free shipping, we still have to pay $7.50 or so for shipping i don't needs CD-R's that bad, so I cancelled my order.

 

[buckeye]

same here..tried to charge me 7.50 for next day delivery....but I said nope..

 

[JokerF15]

nice deal, wuz about to post it myself! =)

 

[VisionsUCI]

nice deal! after reading the other topic regarding the cdrom, however, i think that i would opt for a different one. its a GREAT deal for the price, but with components, you get what you pay for!

 

[stingygrrl]

why are they charging shipping? on the best buy page - this item is FREE shipping, as is everything else!
rebates suck- I agree- But I have gotten my staples rebates in teh past...


Best buy showing free shipping

 

[AnimeKnight]

Damn just called staples try to have them pm to the bestbuy deal... they are going to charge me $7.50 for shipping and $7.65 for handling.. so total over $15 their reason is that best buy is offering free shipping on a 7 days shipping rate and staples is offering the next day shipping so in order to be on the same &quot;playing field&quot; they have to charge me next day shipping on whatever the bestbuy is charging.. dang it.. oh well going to call best buy and order from them and wait for 7 days

 

[PicPop]

sweet..

 

[kornermi]

I received 2 staples rebate this year. 2 for 2. One took 3 months, and the other one took 7 months. They do come, but it's hard not to forget after so many months.

 

[Ranger X]

I've gotten mine but Staples is notorious for screwing your rebate up.

 

[stingygrrl]

I don't know what's going on with you guys and shipping but I just placed this order:

item 437974 $37.99
item 854028 $8.35
item 210443 $3.95
- 20
+ tax
= $32.18 shipped - will be here tomorrow.
(I didn't want the CD-ROM or to deal with 2 rebates).
- 20 mail-in rebate= $12

She didn't even mention shipping costs. The best buy site shows free shipping and you can also point out that that price is available for in-store pickup when you order online at bestbuy.com and/or the Sunday flyer to buy at the B&amp;M-- either way, you can get this price at bestbuy w/o paying shipping.

But like I said she didn't even raise the issue with me. Maybe you should be nicer!! (hehe- just joking..)

 

[Wedesdo]

i think i'll jump on this one. 100 CD-Rs alone should cost at least $20 - esp. if they're 80 min. who cares if they are TDK or not!

 

[Spindler]

wow. this is a great deal. i just ordered a memorex 48x cdrom that comes out to about $13 after rebate and taxes.

with this deal you get 100cdrs to go along with it for the same price! i'm gonna put in an order for this just to get the cdr's. but what am i going to do w/ two extra cdrom's???

 

[Spindler]

lol. n/m on the order. they're all out of both the cdrom and the imation 100cdr.

5:55pm PST 11/13/00

 

[stingygrrl]

Spindler, I just called bc in the afternoon they said they had tons of the CD-Rs- I checked Boston (zip 02132) and Chicago (60611) and both had stock. ??

 

[pshlortz]

kill it... the bestbuy price is now 54.99 and is only the nice price after some 18$ rebate... :-(

 

[JokerF15]

yea, it's out of stock in cali, checked everywhere, i HATE staples, cuz they never have anything good in stock always 3-5 days!!! ERRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

plus best buy raised their prices

 

[Oldcycles]

Please don't waste your time or money on that Delta Cd-Rom.
It is a piece of junk.
I sent mine back after 10 minutes of use.

 

[succubiss]

Nice deal! too bad we're all out of stock in cali.

pshlortz, bestbuy.com STILL has it for 37.99 place it in your cart and see.

Deal still good where in stock!

 

[stingygrrl]

yeah you have to put the spindle in your cart at bestbuy.com to see the $38 price-- its still there.

And I personally didn't get the CD-ROM. You can get anything around $12 to bring it up over $50 to use the 20 off 50 coupon. then the rebate is 20 and you get the whole deal pretty cheap ~$12 --

 

[SCSIfreek]

good deal but Staple wont ship it to Hawaii for some stupid reason. Maybe B/c there isnt any stores in Hawaii.
