DEAD: Free shipping at Newegg when paying with Paypal (ended 12/19/06

[mshan]

EDIT: I just clicked on the link an the expiration date has been changed to "for a limited time."

So it's possible this code still works.



Just saw this at the bottom of a Newegg e-mail advertisement: http://promotions.newegg.com/paypal/fre...-PR-AMDCombo-I-120106&ATT=BannerPayPal

** Please note you have to enter the promo code PAYPALFREE on checkout to get the offer (I think it's ok to list the code here since it is in the link above and anyone using Paypal can use it). Also note that the offer is for 1 week only, starting Monday December 4th. **

Can this be used in conjunction with the 20 off 50 (paypal's promo to compete with google) that's supposed to be going on this month?

I remember signing up for it but never received an email and haven't seen any other info on that deal.

 

[simms]

What's the code for that one?

 

[mshan]

I wouldn't count on that $20 off $50 Paypal offer.

Others are saying you had to receive that offer via direct e-mail, and that you might also have had to received a confirmatory e-mail.

I may place an order over $50 of stuff that I already want and at prices I already consider good and just consider it a bonus if I get that $20 rebate.

I can use this as often as i want? I'm so going to abuse it to ship to hawaii.

 

[mshan]

$20 shipping discount per transaction.

US customers only (so you should be ok unless Paypal tried to slime away by arguing Hawaii isn't part of the US).

I would just make sure the free discount shows up during checkout.

And again note that it doesn't start till Monday, and last till next Sunday (PST).

wow good find, i've been thinking about ordering a laser printer, this may make it worthwhile, thanks :thumbsup:

Lot of native Hawaiians would love it if that were true

Wow......doesn't that suck?? I just placed an $80 order not more than an hour ago, and paid with paypal (mostly cuz I was too lazy to go get my wallet to use my debit card!! :roll: ).

Guess I could go to the trouble of cancelling the order, and re-ordering tomorrow.....but it was only ~$8 shipping, so doubt I'll bother. Of course, I hope you guys that get free shipping get the slower version!! :laugh: Did anyone notice that ZZF's free shipping via paypal is NOT their normal 2-day fedex, but the slower 5-7 day version??

Oh, and as far the the whole $20 off of $50, needing to have received a confirmation e-mail, etc........I've heard mixed opinions and so-called "facts" about that, so I wouldn't count it out yet. Heck, if you're going to order something worth $50 anyways, why not make the payment via paypal, and possibly save $20 down the line, right?

The free shipping code works now, just used it.

ZZF free shipping is fedex ground(usually faster than UPS) not 2 day fedex

Rats, not for me: "Although you've entered a valid promo code, your order does not currently meet the code's usage criteria. Please double-check your order and try again."

Will have to order tomorrow I guess. It's after midnight here already (CST), catch up California!

Thanks OP, there's a case I wanted to get - glad I didn't yet since now I'll save over $13.

 

[rise]

thanks OP, got my free shipping and as i was checking out, the camera i was buying was discounted $30 it confused me for a second, then i saw a new discount come up. sweet.

 

[cherrytwist]

Great place to renew your 12 month XBOX Gold Live subscription for $39.99 with free shipping...

 

[KK]

Thanks OP, just placed two orders.

 

[ir0nw0lf]

As a FYI to everyone here, I want to emphasize part of what the OP posted, this could come back to bite some of you in the butt if you end up doing any returns:

If you return any items from an order that received the free shipping offer, the original shipping savings associated with the returned item(s) will be automatically deducted from the refund amount."

Be sure to keep that in mind if you are the type to return things...
