(Dead) Maxtor 60GB 7200rpm Hard Drive for $39.98 (possibly for $19.98 or even FREE) at Staples (Valid 11/17 - 11/27)

[TorTa]

Guys, I would really like to know where that 30off100 coupon is. There is a link to the 50off500 above, but I don't feel that ambitious this morning. Please post or direct me somewhere else that might have a link. I can't even find this chubby site I keep hearing about Can someone email me the info? torta_junk@hotmail.com

Thanks! (hopefully)

Torta

If you review your order on their web site, you'll see the comments that reads :
"The total does not include applicable sales tax. Staples has a business "presence" in each of the 48 states that we ship to and therefore is required by law to charge sales tax. "

The rebate on the site now says 20 dollars instead of 30. Just wondering if anyone else noticed that.

I don't think it ever said "$30", unless it was for a brief period overnight. Maybe the webmaster simply forgot to update it ? Nonetheless, the $30 rebate is online. Yahoooooo !

another newbie inquiry:
My confirmation e-mail says "Pending approval of your order, the following item(s) will be delivered".

Is this normal?

Yes; all their confirmation emails say this; it's normal

 

[gordita]

can someone confirm if this drive has a 3-year warranty or just a 1-year ?

 

[merksdave]

Can someone e-mail me the $30 off $100 Online coupon, as I saw it last night, but can't find it anymore!

merksdave@rogers.com

thanks

 

[SinMen]

Don't beg for coupon links. Begging and PMing coupon code/link will get you into trouble.

 

[merksdave]

Why can't we share the coupon links? I saw it on a couple of coupon boards last night, but none this morning. I was wondering if someone could send me a link, or coupon. What is wrong with sharing this public info? i am new so i don't really know

thanks

Dave

Because it's against the Anandtech forum rules.

Try reading the post entitled: **** Hot Deals Forum Rules - Please read before posting ****

 

[cheetoden]

Do a search over at f@twallet.com for the coupon.

Not to be mean, but why can't you read the thread? There are ample references to the the coupon. I found this deal w/o this thread and headed over to my favorite coupon forum and did a search. If you wanna know which one, read the thread.

 

[eazyc10]

do you think that you can just send a copy of the UPC to the 30 MIR since it doesn't specify not?

 

[Omer]

All three rebates listed specify that the original UPC code from the box must be supplied.

The $20 rebate even specifies "No reproduction of the UPC will be accepted".

So I'm not counting on anything but the $30 one ...

which still makes this a great deal !

The $30 rebate does not say it has to be an original. It says to enclose UPC and sales receipt. The other two $20 rebates ask for an original UPC. YMMV

 

[xadawgx]

My $30 rebate says you must include the original UPC. Personally I think getting a 60 gig 7200RPM hard drive for 40 bucks and change is one heck of a deal in itself and I'm happy with that.

 

[ErikaeanLogic]

Got this, thanks!

[Omer]

optoman --

maybe there is more than one $30 rebate ?

Mine says " Send Original UPC bar code from your product box "

This PDF printout has a code # of 02-51266 in the lower right corner.

are we talking about the same one ?

Agreed. For $0.66/GB, I'm pleased with this deal. Even though I should start thinking about XMAS gifts for OTHER people, I can't pass this one up (which seems to be happening a lot, mind you!).

 

[mrbentley]

repeat:
From the $30 rebate mail in form (from staples.com)
1. Print and Fill Out Form
2. Include UPC and Sales Receipts in an envelope
3. Mail to: ( Dept. 02-51266 ), P.O. Box 028513, Miami FL 33102-8513

Bottom of page-
MAXTOR 60GB HARD DRIVE

Your Staples sales receipt is required to process this rebate.

It does not say "Original UPC Code" anywhere.

We should be able to get back $50 in rebates with little problem(1 phone call).

 

[us]

You guys are overloooking one big aspect of this deal.... at the top of the "Print your mail in rebate form" on the website this is what it says


To Receive Rebate:
1. Print and Fill Out Form
2. Include UPC and Sales Receipts in an envelope
3. Mail to: ( Dept. 02-51266 ), P.O. Box 028513, Miami FL 33102-8513

 

[nexialist]

Ot of stock already

 

[mrbentley]

Here's what I am going to do:
Mail the $30 rebate 1st. I will submit a copy of the UPC code.
Wait for it to be approved.
If it is rejected a phone call should fix any problems.

Once the $30 rebate is approved I'll mail the $20 rebate with the original UPC code.
I'll probably pass on the other $20 rebate.
$25 for 60GB, yeah baby.

What's the turn around time on Staples rebates? You plan sounds logical. I just don't want to shoot myself in the foot and not get any rebate becuase of semantics.
