This is too good to pass up I'm in for one. As long as the rebate comes, this is hot!!! I was going to wait till Black Friday and try to get the 64MB quickdrive FAR. This way I don't have to get up at 5 in the morning.

Thanks

Sorry to bump a dead-deal that doesn't have a modified topic to say so.

I was reading the rebate though, and it says the rebate needs to be postmarked within 10 days of ordering... is anyone else worried that their shipment will not arrive before 10 days is up? I ordered this on saturday, so it is already monday afternoon and they are still processing. Free shipping was the only option, so it isn't like I could have picked a faster shipping option. Maybe I'm worried over nothing and it will arrive in plenty of time, but all their "predictions" of arrival dates are past my rebate time-frame.

This seems a bit messed up, to miss a rebate through no fault of my own.

fixed the topic title to your liking sir.

i ordered one of these too and if i don't get it in time for the rebate i will raise sh*t about it to Staples and the Edge Tech Corp.
otherwise it's a shady deal at best, and i will return the USB Drive to my local Staples for a full refund

yea I was worried about that too. My scheduled delivery date is 12 days after I ordered it...how convenient. I thought about returning to a store but I called some stores and they didn't carry this so I doubt they'll take it. A staples CSR said I could contact them for a return if I don't get it in time

I've been in contact with Staples customer service regarding this issue (my flash drive still hasn't shipped). And I have to say I've been very impressed with how helpful they have been. I just recieved this email.


We appreciate your inquiry concerning this issue, Ian.

I have received and reviewed your rebate via fax. This is what I have found out about the rebate.
The item is being shipped directly from the manufacturer to you, which is why there is such a
lengthy shipping time frame. However, the 10-day postmark period for the rebate will not begin until
the order has billed, that is when the manufacturer considers the item purchased. You will receive
this item in time to take advantage of the rebate. You will not be billed until the item is out for
delivery, which will give you plenty of time to take advantage of the rebate. If you have any
problems with getting the manufacturer to accept the rebate, please contact us.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you. Please do not hesitate to contact us
if you require further assistance.

Thank you for your patience concerning this matter.

Steve
Staples Customer Service Supervisor

Just received my USB flash drive today with an invoice that was dated 11/18/04. I called the rebate center @
1-800-390-2344 to inquire which date I should use for the $20 rebate, the day I bought the item (11-12-04) or the date on the slip in the box (11-18-04). The CSR stated that the rebate must be postmarked by 10 days AFTER I received the product.

So, it's all good. I will make sure though that it is postmarked before the 28th.
