I got in on both deals:
J&R, I ordered it on the 9th, got backorder notice the next week (even though it's clear I ordered ahead of many of the people that got theirs!!), decided to wait.
(Apologies in advance for the rant).
Outpost, ordered 19th. Wasn't sure where they shipped from, so I paid for overnight (I figured if they delayed the shipment even a little, I might get screwed on the rebate, so it was worth the extra 2 dollars). Shipped from Ohio (I'm in PA). 20th, Airborne shows it as having arrived at the local station at 10am. They didn't even put it on the truck to deliver it. Given the 2 feet of snow we had earlier in the week, I wasn't shocked, I gave them the benefit of the doubt. 21st, they put it on the truck 8 am. 6pm I got tired of waiting and called their 800 number. They said the latest they normally deliver is 7pm. Waited til 7pm, still nothing. Called Airborne again, they tell me the truck my package is on is back at the station. Excuse me? My package was sent OVERNIGHT. Not "whenever you feel like driving it out here". The woman on the phone apologized for the "Airborne error". Error, right. I know the people in the package shipping industry have a tough job (I did it a little as a temp), but this was kind of ridiculous. Told them I wanted to pick it up at the station, they said they'd call the station who would then call me to make arrangements, told me I'd get a call in an hour. Given their track record thus far, I wasn't going to give them the benefit, drove to the station. The folks at the counter were cool, they looked up my package, had the guy pull it off the truck (took them 25 minutes!). All in all, Airborne gets a highly unsatisfactory rating. I used to think UPS was bad, but this is a new record in terms of slacking. If I had let it go, I *might* have gotten the package Monday. Note that I never got the call from them "within the hour" (although me being at the counter probably caused that). Given the constraints on the rebate, I wasn't going to wait. I plan to contact Outpost regarding a refund for shipping as Airborne clearly did not live up to their end of things.
Emailed J&R to cancel (I don't need two, and I definitely don't need another rebate hanging out there in limbo). They replied, saying the rebate was extended and they were filling orders placed during the rebate period, wondered if I would reconsider. I told them no thanks, the order was cancelled.
All that said, the item works great. I plan to use it instead of a floppy (already removed my ls120). Sent the rebate today and am crossing my fingers.
