*DEAD* Western Digital 120GB SE 8MB Cache $58 - Being Honored!

[spanky]

i got mine. it's a 40gb platter drive i believe. anyway, no rebate slip in the box... so do i just print out the pdf and use that? or will they mail me something?

 

[aperry]

Print out the PDF and mail it. Should work fine.

 

[ylim11]

I am confused with which pdf files to use as there were a lot different version.
Can anyone repost the links for the correct retail and oem rebates?
Hopefully everyone get their drive(s) soon.....
Thanks.......

[Parn]

How come mine shipped 10/31, and is scheduled to be delivered 11/8? that's kind of a long time haha. Anyways, great that this deal is being honored.

All your base are belong to us.

What's a penix?

 

[Oxonium]

Mine got rescheduled by a day too. It was scheduled for Nov. 5 but now it's Nov. 6. Oh well, at least I'm finally getting the drive.

How 'bout the children take it to private message?

 

[Ly2n]

Mine also shows shipped, but isn't on the ups site yet. I ordered the 12 at noon. After it comes my work starts- moving HDs around on 3 different computers

 

[TomDooley]

Well, I just got my drive yesterday... Props to Dell for their good service with this. Now to get that Rebate.....

PS. Is it just me, or did a mod come in and blank the two guys....

 

[RocketsFan]

Ordered mine on October 12, 2002 9:49:32 AM
Status is showing that it was shipped on October 31st (although the tracking number doesn't bring back anything).

Woo haaaa.

 

[Parn]

Weird.... mine got bumped up a day. Now Nov 7th.

 

[Jackal&Cash]

woohooo. mines got shipped. For the rebate invoice could i just print the order detail from Dell order status site that show the order date and price??

 

[Slugbate]

looks like i'll be 1100th...

 

[technogeeky]

I just got my drive. They gave me a 100$ credit.

I originally had both drives ordered, but they told me I'd basically never get the retail drive, so I cancelled it.
So I have the OEM and it is good.

 

[K-squared]

... and the 1100th reply, makes this the 1101st post....

Hmmm....

Looks like the MODS deleted a few [/b]REPLIES[/b] from this thread....

Did someone shoot the parrot and beat the dog to death ? ? ? ?


Oh, and have a nice day thread-crapping today !

 

[Slugbate]

K-Squared you are incorrect you see, this is the 1100th POST. I was just fooling you so I could get it myself.
btw the reason why I'm using this new name is because I'm at a public computer. I don't trust the internet coche. I think someone on this board already hacked my old login. So cut me some slack gramps.

Blow.

 

[Slugbait]

Time for the modz...

 

[wshtb000]

Just saw a$179 charge on my AMEX card, then checked order status, it is already OUT FOR DELIVERY!!!!!

 

[K-squared]

Has anyone looked to see if there's a pattern between the serial number on the bottom of the retail box, and whether the harddrive is 40GB or 60GB platters???? Seems like the date of manufacture is not reliable....

Awaiting the delivery of my drives today....

 

[Oxonium]

First my delivery date was scheduled for Nov. 5, then rescheduled to Nov. 6. Now I check it and it says Nov. 5 again. Not that I'm complaining. As long as I get it sometime this week I'll be happy.

 

[theho1]

The UPS tracking information (as Dell has set it up) is somewhat misleading.

Dell's website shows that this harddrive was "shipped" on 10/31/02 and would be delivered on 11/01/02 - when in reality the drive wasn't shipped until November 1st, when the tracking data is pulled-up on the UPS website:

Nov 4, 2002
- 10:31 A.M. ANYTOWN, ANYSTATE, US DELIVERY
- 7:00 A.M. ANYTOWN, ANYSTATE, US OUT FOR DELIVERY
- 5:18 A.M. ANYTOWN, ANYSTATE, US ARRIVAL SCAN
Nov 2, 2002
- 3:34 A.M. MEMPHIS, TN, US DEPARTURE SCAN
Nov 1, 2002
- 7:58 P.M. MEMPHIS, TN, US ORIGIN SCAN
Oct 31, 2002
- 9:36 A.M. US BILLING INFORMATION RECEIVED


How is this possible? Dell is listing as the "shipping date", that date at which it makes available the shipping document it electronically sends to United Parcel Service (UPS), of a pending shipment. It is *NOT* a shipping date (unless you consider electronically "sending" the shipping information to UPS as "shipping"). The ORIGIN SCAN is the date the item is received and scanned by UPS into the package-tracking database. My credit card was also "billed" the day the harddrive actually shipped - 01 Nov 02.

Received! Mine's got a build date 10/22/02. I'm printing up my electronic order acknowledgement, and order date off the Dell site and will include the packing list.

Is everyone (that bought the retail kit) cutting out the silver label out that covers the bottom of the front panel of the box and wraps underneath the bottom that says proof of purchase to send in for the rebate?

If I average this buy in with the other three I got I'm at $125 per drive. A dollar a GB! Who would've thought two years ago?
