after the question of rebate, another important question is how much is shipping?

mine was just under $15 :p

still, the total will be like $35, which I think is an okay price for the speakers, considering.

The order invoice online said:

KIT: ZIPCORD CABLES RJ45, RJ11, & USB $0.00
Logitech Z3 Brushed Aluminum/Wood Speaker Set $39.99


I think when I went on they had some deal where you get three retractable cables for free when your purchase something. Or something to that effect. My total was $54.37, then there's the $20 mail-in rebate to Logitech, so it'll be $34.37 for neat little speakers and some cables :)

for those who would like to stay clear of tigerdirect, you can buy the same speakers for $53.99 shipped FREE from buy.com, and the rebate is still valid.

For those of you who want something a bit more powerful, check out this hot deal thread on the Logitech z-2200s.

200 watts, THX certified, 2.1 system. Maybe not as cool looking as the z3 system, but definately more powerful. The rebate at Amazon makes the total come up to $62, and it looks like the one from Just Deals is $33 (if it's valid, which I hope it is!).

Any word on if that deal is good or not?

Got my z3's today. WOW! They look GREAT! It's like a DeLorean with wood panels :)

They seriously look good. Like all Logitech speakers I've owned, there's a lot of bass. Luckily they have a bass knob on the sub even on this set. Man these look sweet. I don't think I'm going to give these to my fiancee...she can have the z-2200s if I get them lol. They sound good too!

This matches my desktop really well...I have a Logitech MX700 and a black wireless Microsoft ergnomic keyboard. Now all I need is a black monitor...

I bought these from Tigerdirect a week ago, for the $20 AR price. I had no problems at all. Quick shipping. In fact, got a tracking number the day after I put my order through.

Well, forget about Tiger Direct -- just get the set from Buy.com.

$21.99 shipped AR.

Or, add the $10 off $75 coupon and maybe something else like the Viking 256mb Compact Flash for $44.99 to make the coupon work. The Viking CF has a $20 rebate too. My final price came out to $76.98. Subtract the two $20 rebates and it's a mere $36.98 for 256mb of compact flash and a decent set of computer speakers. I'll probably end up selling the memory for $25-35, so the speakers would cost me $12 at most and perhaps even a mere $2. :)

ya..i ordered on Thursday too and it said it was in stock but has been stuck in "sent to warehouse" for the last 3 days also...

i checked on their website and the product is now listed "On Order" meaning the item is being ordered from a different warehouse and may be technically backordered.

i e-mailed them...hopefully i'll get a response and i'll let you know.

i hate waiting too.

for those that bought these speakers on Thursday, here is the reply I received after I noticed that shipping was taking longer than expected:

------
Hello XXX,

Thank you for contacting Buy.com.

This is in response to your email regarding order #XXXXX.

We apologize that the delivery of your order is taking longer
than expected and for any inconvenience this has caused. Unfortunately,
due to a setback from the manufacturer, item #10354562 on your
order is currently on backorder.

Unfortunately, we do not have an estimated time of arrival; however,
you will receive an email from us once the product you ordered
ships. Please note that your credit card will not be billed until

luckily they haven't charged my card. now the rebate states that you must postmark it after 30 days of the invoice date. hopefully i will get these before that.
