Officemax price $599.98
Pricematch with digitalliquidators.com $419.99. They indicate a 1 year warranty so OM will do it.
Add shipping $21.00. $440.99
Online coupon $50 off $250 $440.99 - $50 Total $390.99 + tax.

You have to make a price match request before making the purchase. After they approve, make purchase (use $50 coupon) and your card will be issued the credit for the price match.

Am I missing something or is that camera not on digitalliquidators.com??? Did they sell out just now or am I overlooking it somewhere??

How do I fill out a price match request online? It appears I must enter an Office Max order number. How do I do that if I have not yet ordered the item from them?

I'm not sure myself.

Also, note that OM wants the other store's next day shipping charge, which in my case is over $47 for digitalliquidators.

As for the OM price match request look for customer service on the homepage. Fill out the online request and put in 9999 for the order number (that's) what I did.

I know the next day shipping charge comes up higher but that's what the OM rep charged me upon accepting the PM.

Good luck all.

Gee why not just order it from DigitalLiquidators... I think $200 for a 128mb Compact Flash card is more than reasonable :)

Damn you need one heck of a dumb CSR to get this deal!

I called it in and as soon as she heard it was digitalliquidators.com she almost interrupted me and said "NO we only PM OD, Staples ect..."


this is a YMMV at the very least.

too bad

An alternative is to buy this camera from OM using AMEX card with BVG feature. Call AMEX and PM to digitalliquidators.com and get (550-420) $130 back. This way, you avoid the PM hassle with OM and avoid paying the extra next-day shipping for the PM, although you end up paying more in sales tax.

$600 - $50 coupon + tax - $130 = $420 + tax

I was just reading the OM PM policy, and noticed a flaw in the math (getting for $390). However, if you're still able to get it for that price...:cool:

Available coupons and rebates will be deducted from the OfficeMax price to come up with a new OfficeMax price when calculating the price match. For example, if you buy an item from us for $100 and we offer a $10 rebate, the net price is $90. If the item is available from another company for $90 or more, there will be no price match. Another example would be if you buy an item from us for $139 and you have a $30 coupon; the net price is $109. If the item is available from another company for $105 the price match will be for $4.60 (115% of the difference).
