DLT IV Tape Pricing error 20/40 / 40/80 Gigs

[Vegito]

5 Pack for 65.. Usually 1 pack is 65... thats about 400 gigs of data if you have a dlt 8k drive... limited available..

 

[JasonH]

Now I just need a DLT drive, preferably for 80% off as well...

 

[Packy]

WOW, that's frickin' cheap

 

[BSRdr]

I'll see your 65 bucks and lower you 5 http://www.pcmall.com/pcmall/shop/detail.asp?DPNo=929463 only 60 bucks here.

 

[Packy]

They must use the same warehouse or something... the info listed is identical, including how many they have in stock.

Usually Ships - Next Day
Units in Stock - 17
Platform - Universal
PC Mall Part # - 929463
Manufacturer - Fuji
Mfr. Part No. - 26112088-5

DONT THINK THIS IS A TYPO?


ANY IDEAS????

 

[Justincase]

>>>They must use the same warehouse or something<<<

Ecost and PCMall are part of the same company, along with 2 other vendors whose names escape me at the moment - one is a Linux company.

 

[Justincase]

Haha. Somebody must have been fooling around with the clock at Anandtech. Last post went to the beginning of the thread :Q

 

[Vegito]

yeah.. same as pcmall.. hmm.. cool.. it says please call now..

 

[iamwiz82]

it has to be a typo.

is also advertised. Normally my company pays about $60 for each tape. I wouldnt trust Fuji for long time backups, though. We stick with Quantum.

I left my sales rep over at pcmall an email... I want to see if they will sell me it at that price. If not oh well, worth a shot!

Placed my order with PCMall (was cheaper for total order including shipping). Just checked my order status -- ordered 10, shows 4 as already shipped the other 6 pending. Looks like I got a partial order, not bad 20 tapes for around $240!

 

[bomb99]

I also order from pcmall.
order 2 5 packs and both shipped via 2nd day air

but the thing that bugs me is that ups says the package only weights 2lbs

 

[Vegito]

I hope i get mine... i order before any of you guys hahahah


but good luck to those that got it..

 

[Emulex]

sorry dudes, dlt tapes are pretty heavy. 10 dlt tapes weight a helluvalot more than 2lbs.

These are great none the less, we get about 35 gigs (dlt-7000) on each tape and they are incredibly fast.

PCMall shipped me a 1 pack instead of a 5 pack:|

Anybody else have this problem?

Thanks.

That's because PC Mall was only selling the single pack according to the P/N they listed on the product page. You should be able to return the product and get a full refund including S&H because of the description error, but that is about it.

 

[Bob61]

Actually the part number they had listed as the 5 pack. PC Mall Part #929463, manufacturer part #26112088-5 (notice the "-5" at the end of the part number, it was a 5 pack listed).

Also, the receipts all state this as a "5 PACK MEDIA".

 

[MorphineChild]

My order got cancelled also . Oh well I don't really have a use for them anyway.

 

[Bob61]

For those who thought this "too good to be true".... purchasing from PCMALL it worked out perfectly for me.

My original shipment was only a 10 single packs. An email to PCMall brought a quick response to investigate -- three days later the remainder of my tapes were delivered by overnight delivery. 50 tapes for $640! This rates as the hottest deal of the year for me! Thanks forcesho for posting the deal. And a bigger thanks to BSRdr for posting the fact that PCMall carried this before I placed an order with Ecost.
