sharing a experience
just FYI guys
last week I bought the 120Gig harddisk from officemax when there was a 50 bucks rebate.
I used 40 off of 200 coupon and bought some free stuff like Modem, surge, air blaster, jewel cases etc. which were all free after rebate.
After a week I called OM and them to price match with google gear which was selling same for 164. and they were charging 50 cents for 2nd day air and 28 bucks next day.
They pricematched 199-164-28=7 bucks.
Then i called them after 2 days and them to do a 2nd price match
with
www.l-buy.com who are selling it for 154 with only one kind of shipping charing 90 cents. and i was asked to call back in 2 days to see whats the price match.
I called today to see that they didnt have any information about my PM request . the CSR told me to go online and submit pricematch online. It 12th day today (saturday) and i know it will take more than 2 days for them to reply and I know I will loose 14 day money back gurantee . So asked to her to cancel the order. I already bought 2 hardisks from CC using MSn wallet. and
I have 90 msn bucks in my account. 2 drives after rebates for 220-90msn bucks = 130
which is 65 for each. which i beleive is a good deal. I will go in a week to CC and ask them to PM with BB to get back 10 bucks on each one. And i have next 30 days wait for a even better deal. And I am sure CC itself will sell them for < 199. Till last week, CC was selling this drive for 189.99.
I hope this information will be useful. I mean about OM pricematch policy etc. They only consider next day Air shipping value when price matching even thought OM takes 2 days to deliever products.
