I've called twice to verify this. Staples now carries the Palm IIIxe for $199.98. This is BEFORE the rebate.

PALM IIIxe HANDHELD O 428071 $199.98
-$40 coupon
-$50 rebate
~$110 plus tax

You will have to add an item worth >$0.02 to be able to use the $40 off $200 coupon. The CSR should be able to find something for you.

Rebate ends tonight! So call and make sure that the order will be posted today, the 19th. Time zones may make a difference.

Post removed due to me not reading his post.
Note: You should change the title to state that the final price is not 200.

Seems staples just can't stand the bother of lots of PMs. Nice deal on this 8M PDA. Rebate expires today so jump on it NOW.

Great. Time to call Amex and get $50 back for the change in price. My IIIxe will wind up costing $60 when it all comes through!

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You. I had ordered one yesterday with the $40 coupon. I called back today and got my card credited for the price difference.

Okay, I updated the title to more accurately represent the deal. REBATE ENDS TONIGHT!

Question, on the rebate form it said one of the submission requirement is the purchase receipt. Is it the original or a copy of it?
Help clear this for me. Thanks.

I've been wondering the same thing. My Staples invoice/packing slip only lists 1/22 as the shipping date. Anyone know what to do?

Just go to staples.com and click on order status
or click on me
and enter the order number and the zip code it is mailed to...
you should see the invoice with the date you ordered© use that print out along with the shipping invouce.

Good luck.

I called Staples several time today. They faxed me same invoice only showing ship date 1/22/01.

How can I get the rebate?

What's up with your font VenDog? All your . look like the copyright symbol to me. Anyone else having this problem?

Hi, VenGog, "Order Status" on Staples.com show it was order in 01/19/01. But since I ordered another one from Buy.com, I want to sent these two invoices together with one rebate form to Palm. I do not know if Palm will honor the rebate since Staples.com "Order Status" shows 01/19/01, and Staples.com "invoice" (actually it is Shipping Status form. Staples call it invoice) shows "ship date" is 01/22/01.

I don't know if I can sent one rebate to Staples rebate center, and another to Palm, though in the rebate form says "limit 5/per name/address".

I received several rebates for which items are ordered during the week and shipped and received after the sale deal is over. you just include your shipping invoce and order statust printout together with UPC and rebate form. As for as your buy.com is concerned you should have a print out of it when you placed the order, which shows the date of ordering!.!.!.!.

I just found Palm IIIxe only sold for about $165 in Yahoo Auction. So next time, I need to do research in auctions first, then decide if I will order in stores.

Because OD/Staples $199+tax=$215-$50(1.5 month at least)=$165. So bidding on auction need not worry about rebate.

I do not know how the sellers on auction get the lower price Palm IIIxe. If we know, it will be really hot deal!
