I know the free shipping is over at buy.com, but I would like to know if a person should still try to use staples to pricematch the lowestprice (chaseshop) or should a person just swallow a little pride and spend just a little more at buy.com (159.95) and get 10cdrs, use the coupon to lower the price and pay shipping :eek:

The same thing only with cdrs included

Could someone please let me know which direction i should go. Thank you

I just tried to PM this w/Staples by calling their customer service number. The rep told me that to get the PM I would have to order via telephone.

Is this right? If so, how do I use the coupon?

Can someone help a confused newbie? :confused:

You can just tell them the code you want to use.

I ordered the Drive a few days ago and got it today.

1. Call them up, have them check to see if it is in stock in your area.
2. Tell them you found a better price at buy.com (help him/her find it there)
3. Tell them you got a $40 off $150 code (its out there somewhere)

I got mine for :
$118.95 (with the $40 off $150 code)+ $8.33 (tax) = Final Cost $127.28

I have been complaining about this for some time. I received a reply
from BizRate. They said that the store has the option on whether they
charge tax before or after the coupon is applied.

Their policy has rubbed me the wrong way. (to say it nicely)

You can just buy it. Then take it to the local store to get the difference back. No need to deal with the rep on the phone. If you call in they might make you pay the next day charge for shipping.

I just bought one of these two weeks ago, and they are VERY nice indeed.
I'd pay 130.00 for it again!

Get one now!
Think of the money you'll save in the long run!

I spent 40 minutes doing this deal at Staples 2 weeks ago, the next week they turned around and said they were out of stock and cancelled my order. I just haven't got the time to kill talking to their CSRs. Staples can be a pain in the a**.
