Office Depot has the APC 725VA UPS/10'USB cable/Surge Bundle for $9.99 after $50 MIR. 420-808. 3/20-3/22. Limit 1 per customer while supplies last. This is a UPS plus a 10' USB cable plus a 6-outlet surge protector strip.

Online doesn't show anything really 420-808. The rebate is online here.

edit: I guess you need to buy in store or choose in store pickup to get the $59.99 price. The ad doesn't say that it is only B&M, but looks that way.

It comes up $89.99 on-line for me. A call to customer service did not help. Is this in-store only? Link to ad?

Although the ad does not specifically state that it is in store only, the advertised price only shows up if you choose store pickup.

There must be. When I put it in the cart and up at the top where it says "This order is scheduled for" "pick up at store" is selected, the price shows as $59.99. What more can I say except, I'm sorry it doesn't work for you. :( Hopefully you can go to a store and get one.

Subtotal: $89.99
Delivery Charge: $0.00
Coupon: $0.00
Estimated Taxes: $7.87
Total: $97.86

Nice deal. Just a heads up, I was reading over at B$ and FW that this is the same UPS on sale BF and that lots of people were complaining that it hums very loud. Guess I'll have to get one and see for myself.

Don't mean to threadcrap, but wasn't this the same APC unit BB had on sale last BF? That stupid thing buzzed like crazy and 1/2 the people here returned it. Unless APC put out some revised units this unit may not be worth $10.

Let's hope there aren't any problems with these. One purchaser already said "Just got back from OD with my new UPS. Plugged it in, it is completely silent."

Thanks OP, can't beat this deal. Bought one local and hooked it up.

Oh yes, there's humming going on, but it ain't from the UPS ;)

I got this bundle and added a few ink carts to use a $20 off $100 coupon:

Subtotal: $100.87
Delivery Charge: $0.00
Coupon: $-20.00
Taxes: $5.66
Total: $86.53

There are several codes, and not all will work with computer accessories, so keep trying. It's worth it to get $40 worth of extras for $20!

Ordered for instore pickup. The girl didn't ask for anything, she just went up when i showed her what I was there for pickup and she photocopied my driver's license :roll: and said that's all. I forgot about the rebate form, can i use the one online? The only receipt i have is the email one. I haven't hooked itup yet, but prob. will soon.
