The CSR's I've talked to are clueless
They say they don't have the pre-sale values with them, seriously, what kind of people are going to take orders when they don't know the correct prices?-- mrcodedude

I wouldn't worry dude. You have 24hrs I believe to correct the prices. So call in the morning, I've had them correct prices before, works everytime.

NOTE: I'm on the phone w/ an OfficeMax.com CSR right now and she's adjusting my order.
Sorry people! Huge mistake!!! This should have been:
"20180938 FRS 104 Radio @ 9.99 ($10MIR)"
Thus, you reap an extra penny!
When buying at the B&M they give you a rebate directory and a rebate receipt for everything you buy. What about when you buy online? Do they include that stuff with your order?
Why take the chance of an item being out of stock? It has happened before. I ordered online and will call back to PM over the phone. Or place another order and call to cancel the first if the price adjust online.
No, they don't send you rebate receipt and rebate booklet when ordering online. You have to make copies of shipping receipt and print your own rebate forms... Or just go to OM to pick up the booklet like me if it's close.
Sometimes the rebate directory is included in the shipping box. The blue packing order with all the order info on it is your receipt.
OK, I see the CenDyne on the PRINTABLE LIST webpage, BUT I went to OfficeMax and purchased this model, CDICD00118. It only came up with a $20 Instant Rebate and in all the rebate documents there is only a $30 Mail In Rebate for the CenDyne. There are $50 in MIR for the Verbatims: a $20 from OfficeMax and $30 from Verbatim.
On the main add, they list three models: 2031-6375, 2018-2491, and 2021-3895. You can find 2031-6375 as the Verbatim, but the other two don't show up on their website.
Can someone show me anywhere (other than the PRINTABLE LIST webpage) were it lists this model for $9.99 AR?
Thanks in advance.
I noticed the same thing HandyDave. Additionally, it isn't a LiteOn. The model is 4816P, which from what I can tell (and I could be and probably am wrong) is an Acer.
OfficeMax had the Cendyne drive *last week* for $50 with a $30 mail in rebate which, after the $25 coupon and other FAR stuff ended up being free. I bought one, and I'm sure enough others bought them so that the Cendynes are probably out of stock. I haven't opened the box, and have no idea what kind of drive is in it. The outside of the box doesn't say SmartBurn or JustLink or anything--looks like they've wised up. The drive model is 4816P, if that means anything to anybody.
I did, however, call today and get the Verbatim drive, an FRS radio, 100 Hi-Val CD-Rs, canned air and the old reliable paper clips. Total cost with sales tax (6%) was $80. Total of six rebates (30+20+17+8+10+4) was $89. If they all get here, I'll be ahead $9 - $1.48 postage (three of the six rebates go in one envelope).
If you really want to turn up your nose at the prospect of OM paying you to take Verbatim drive, however, you can get a free 52X Buslink drive from Staples today. It is $70 with ONE $50 rebate, and with FAR stuff and a $25 off $100 coupon, it too is free, or darned close. I ordered one of these, also (as part of a deal that cost $96, with $86 in rebates). The last Buslink CD-RW I got said SmartBurn on the front of the box, and the picture in the ad shows the sticker in the same place.

I went to (2) Office Max stores today. Neither one had the Verbatim, but they where substituting them. Either a Digital Research or Cendyne. The Cendyne has "Drive Model SW-248" on the back. I think I read this is a Samsung drive. Is this correct? If so, how good are Samsung drives compared to TDK and Lite-On?

From what I can see, the Verbatim Burner is available online with the full info readily available. Search for VBT481248A and you'll find it. $59 with the $30 and $20 rebates.
The Cendyne is NOT available properly online. If you search for CDICD00118 you will get a 48x12x48 EXTERNAL drive and a 52x24x52 INTERNAL drive. Neither of which is the one lsited on the rebate page.
I don't see any Poloroid CDRW drives on there anywhere.
Feel free to correct me if you have found the links to the items with the proper prices so phone calls aren't needed.

Franky Junior - concur, couldn't find any CD-R drives other than the Verbatim. Executed MysticMan1 combo #1 online (massive snow storm outside).
Thanks MysticMan1

no matter what you do, DO NOT COUNT ON GETTING YOUR HI-VAL CDR REBATE!!! I bought $40 worth of Hi-Val CDRs last year and they were supposed to be free AR. Guess, what? I haven't recieved a cent and I am the most meticulous person about rebates. I have been eMailing and calling with all my documentation for weeks, nothing.

Your right it looks like you can only get a Cendyne or Poloroid as a substitute for when they run out of Verbatim drive, so buy the Verbatim drive.
BTY: If you are looking for a LiteOn drive you probably wouldn't fine it here Cendyne (which owns Verbatim) stop sell rebadged 48x LiteOn drive a long time ago, remember when LiteOn started making the 52X drives they STOP making the48X drives. For Cendyne to continue to seel 48X drives they would have to get they from some other manufacture.
Don't look now but officeMax is finally updating their web site.
