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

[bupkus]

Ok, now I have one of each oem and retail. Come Monday I'll have to call and cancel the oem.

 

[SMWinnie]

Any way to cancel an order online? Gotta talk to a CSR? Are the CSRs there on Columbus Day

 

[LouPoir]

Sweet deal - bought the retail version yesterday . sent an email to Dell to get the rebate coupon. Got a couple of auto responses but no coupon yet.

The question here is not whether it will ship to be eligible for the rebate window (until 10/13), but will it arrive in time to mail in the rebate before the expiration date for mailing the rebate. Your order date is you eligibility date no matter when it ships. Does anybody have any idea what date the rebate submission needs to be postmarked by?

 

[Mercenary]

if anyone has or gets the rebate please post it here...

 

[RVN]

Nervous about the rebate!

"All requests must be postmarked within 30 days from the date of purchase."

 

[roncarter]

This deal sounds too good to be true..

 

[Pardus]

dell told me they will email the rebate on tuesday, let's hope wd honors it otherwise its costing $178 insted of $78,you can always return the drive to dell as well if there is no rebate.

 

[Sentor]

How long should the WD rebate take to get back to you? The 6-8 week thing?

Did most of you guys ship it home or to your business? I don't know if it matters because I know UPS and FedEx always as if the address is Residential.

Okay--I'll ask: "What did WD say to you?"

I ordered a retail one last night and I got this message when I check the order status.
Currently one or more items are not available. Every effort is being made to complete your order.
Delayed 10/16/2002


Sku: A0060210 Quantity: 1
Description: 120GB Caviar Special Edition Internal EI

Does this mean they won't be able to ship by 10/16?

Mikey, most likely they wont. Anyone ordering now is going to be back ordered. They said they are backordered now and out of stock. SO you guys who waited till now, unless they just ordered more, I dont see how your going to receive the disk in time for the rebate... They had thousands of orders im guessing by now. This deal is on like 5 websites already.

 

[w9design]

Well according to the terms of the rebate, you have 30 days after you purchase it to send in the rebate. So even if it is backordered there's a remote chance that the drive would still arrive within a month.

And also, keep in mind that many (perhaps most?) of the early orders were for the OEM drive, and it seems like it might not be eligible for the rebate. So all that ordered the OEM drives will have to get to the back of the line for the retail ones.

We'll see...

 

[Doraemon]

How did you guys get Dell CSR to talk to you?

 

[technogeeky]

Well, like the idiot I am, I have an order for both the retail and the OEM drives.

I have to cancel the OEM order on Monday.

 

[littleberry]

How do I get the rebate form?
It appears to be a dead link for me

help!

 

[w9design]

littleberry:

It has been gone over quite a few times over the course of this thread. The rebate form has not yet been posted by Dell. Those who have spoken to Dell CSRs have been told rebate forms will be included in the box and can also be e-mailed as early as Tuesday.

 

[CalebTG]

Just called Dell, Spoke to Travis (is everybody there named Travis?). Anyway, he said they are currently working on getting the rebate applied to the proper product. The rebate IS valid for the RETAIL version only (WD product number ends in JBRTL. He said the rebate should be up by Monday. He also assured that the RETAIL version will ship in time for the rebate, in fact he said they still show it as being in stock.

I have two questions:

1.) how, exactly, do i order it from Small Business if i don't have a small business?? do i just make up a fake business name of some sort?

2.) where are you guys finding this 15% off?? i can't find where it says "save 15% instantly"... i added it to my cart to see what the charges would be, but the 15% doesn't show up

3.) if i can't order from small business, is there still a way to get the 15% off?

thanks


P.S. yeah, i'm new

I just ordered mine, and I went from dell.com and followed these steps to make sure the 15% was added to the order:
Click Small Business
Save 15% on Software & Peripherals! Online Only - Expires 10/13/2002 (click it)
Click Data Storage on Right
Desktop Hard Drives on Right
EIDE 61GB and Above
Scroll down to the RETAIL version (14th option down)
click on 'Western Digital'
Then click 'Add to cart'
You should then see:

Sub-total $198.86
Discounts -$29.83
Shipping1 $6.00
Discount1 -$6.00
Tax1 $8.45
Total Price1 $177.48


Boom, ready to go!


I know some of you seem to have been able to just 'click' on some of the links provided earlier, however I never got the 15% Discount untill I went through the front Page.

Hope this helps some of you.
And as again for a repost, you can download the Rebate form from here: Rebate Form

Enjoy, and thanks for all the comments!
