Fellowes Confetti-Cut Shredder for $25 with $10 addtional purchase at Office Depot

[BullishDad]

The Fellowes P400C-2 shredder is on sale at OD (online only) for $40. Search item 745741. Add $10 other stuff to get free shipping and use 15 off 50 coupon. This shredder is better than some of the cheapy ones available, although it is for occasional use. The $40 price is good by itself, after a quick look, I was finding $50-60 to be the usual range.

does this come with the trash can?

FWIW: reliable auto start/stop that provides quick and easy shredding. This shredder will shred up to five sheets of 8 1/2" x 11" paper at a time into thousands of un-reconstructable 5/32" x 2" particles including staples. The compact nature of confetti cut allows five times more material to collect in the basket than with a strip cut shredder. With a shred speed of 12 feet per minute, your confidential documents will be destroyed quickly. The 9 1/2-inch throat allows the insertion of any standard letter- or legal-size document. Reverse function allows easy removal of paper jams. Safety designed for use in your home or office.

I bought the earlier model P400C in August at a computer show for $15. Has its own trash can. I wouldn't shred more than a couple of sheets at a time though, not like Enron.

I really like it, great for all those pre-approved credit card offer in the mail.

Best bet on those things is to carefully tear them in half so you don't damage your name and address (they need to know who it was to/from), put the "preapproved" form, along with all residue, in the postage paid envelope that accompanies the package and mail it back to them.

About a year ago, between me, my wife and 2 college-aged daughters, I was getting 25 or 30 of these things per week. After starting my little campaign as above, I may get one or 2 per week now. Guess they don't like it when they pay postage both ways and don't get another guppy on the line...

Just a recommendation:

Keep the original-box and receipt together and stick it up in your attic (or store at parents if you're away at school).

Ususally they have a 1 year warranty.....so far I've known, including myself, 6 shredders that failed 6 months outside warranty......

Just a thoguht...

Just placed my order:

Shredder: 39.99
Pens: 10.99 (SKU 182741, 182733 or 182725 for different colors)
15 of 50: (15.00)
VA Tax: 1.62
Total: 37.60

Pens rebate 10.99 (Pen rebate link)

Net cost of a dozen pens and shredder: $26.61. I can live with that!

Thanks for post BullishDad.

Shredder is $49.99 now, but with $0.20 extra stuff (paper clips - 429266) and free shipping over $50, it comes to my door at $38.29. Still a good deal IMO. I just hope it's better than the one I got at Costco last year. That one crapped out after a couple of days.
