OM rebates suck big time, after much hassle I only managed to get the low $ ($4, $9) amounts.
None of the real money (chair, CDRW, RAM etc) were ever payed.
First they said they didn't receive the UPC, then it was "not received in the right timeframe" (allthough some of those items were on the...
Ha ha ha...
rebate....tiger direct....sad joke.
those scumbags not only lie and deliver used or "refurbished" junk instead of new, no, they also don't pay the rebates.
On top of that the items do *NOT* have *ANY* warranty.
Contrary to what they want you to believe.
BobSnob, just a FYI, that reader is not "mass storage" compliant and needs a driver, even under XP.
bliab, that was an interesting info, I was looking for one of those, thx.
kimagurealex, do you have some more info on the "USB CF card "slot key" adapter at Fry's " ?
two notes:
a) This device connects to your motherboard via a 10 pin header only!
When they had it on sale last time I got me some but returned them all, as I only have standard USB ports and none of the 10 pin connectors.
So check your motherboard. None of my Compaq's or hell's had such a...
I had done that myself indeed but never thought that the "97 days old" thread harbored the code.
I didn't even look into that as it was so old.
Thanks for the hint, it made me look more detailed.
I would order 3 of those, my friends would take the other 2 no questions asked.
So how can we get hold of that "$5 off + free shipping + free attache case coupon" ?
I really recommend to post this on fat wallet, as chibchacan suggested, codes are allowed there and the folks are even nicer than...
yellowfiero, thanks for the deal.
I looked and searched but can only find age old codes which have expired.
Could you detail the search keywords that would lead us to the right place?
I tried google with free shipping code and any cmbination of hft or harb.... etc.
Thanks

..their (DELL) customer service is HORRIBLE, compared to HP , compaq, ibm, and basically every other computer company i've ever dealt with. they are just, you want to kill them over the phone and over email.
I agree.
That's why professionals have dell banned in many places.
Once dell...
As usual CC's stores had none of the FAR items. My friends told me they were the 20th in the store, but all was sold out already!
And as usual those who beleived they got some of the items had to find out that they were handed the wrong items or they rang up with a higher price.
So it seems it...
stopped by a BB and boy what an experience again!
This BB was in Culver City / LA.
It was about 8:45 PM and there was only ONE cashier open. A long line had formed already but nobody seemes to care
(they were all local people).
At several cashiers...

This is soooo easy!
First of all you can simply reject the package.
In case it will be left at your door or whatever, you can easily return it.
Amazon has one of the best return policies I have encountered.
Just do not open to merchandise, call them and they will send you a return label...
I got fooled by that too, but on their checkout page is this:
First class shipping is only available on Arctic Silver, some grilles, and 3-4pin adaptors. Orders that contain items which will not fit in a 4x6 padded enevelope, will be billed at the USPS priority rate and will be shipped via 2-3...

I also recommend Dell to friends that will need a lot of help if they have problems.
Dell is the WORST when it comes to support. They are the most banned brand on many campuses.
They have a great marketing, everybody and their grandmom have been manipulated to that extend that they...
Thanks for the info. I'm just beginning to understand that somehow the "banks" referred to are the banks inside the DDR.

Interesting is also the issue with the single sided double sideds.

I agree with unclebud, I like them too.
We all know how buggy Windoze is and how it starts to clutter stuff.
The best way is to "refresh" everything with the system CD, which will make the emachine like new. Complete reformatting and re-installation.
I built around 100 PC's but grew so tired...

I also posted the question there, whether single sided sticks cause less stress for the bus...

ConUSA sux big time.
They don't pay the rebates, the CS is bad, salespeople are not knowledged.
Even if those FAR were not bundeled to a system, you would not get your rebates anyhow.
I don't understand why somebody would waste his time going there!
dermotfix,
Conusa rebates don't come even if you do show extreme persistence.
The promotion is magically "expired" after you called them up several times and they promised you each and every time, that a check is on it's way "...5 to 15 business days...".

IF you REALLY had "been reading AnandTech for sometimes now" you should know about Tigerdirect and their notorious missrepresentaion of items.
There have been many many threads about them and bottom line is that they lie and have a bad CS and are generally a crook company. Many...
So let's see.
First you wrote "free nights", then you reverted that!
Then you said "free nationwide long distance", later you reduced that "nation" to CA and NV.
You also said 1600 minutes but now it is 800 only.
And you write you don't have the T68 available.
Anything else?
Did you sell cars...
Oddly enough prices went up for these this weekend at Frys. They normally sell for $40 here in s. CA .
They had an error in the ad some month ago, it was displayed at $25 for 128MB. They meant $25 for 64MB of course.
Had to insist a little but got them, limit two.
Actually many got them at...

As with most of the people from that religious decent, these are crooks too.
They try to scam you into their expensive accessories. And if you choose not to buy them, they hang up on you or say it is out of stock.
But do you know how they make those prices in first place?
