Got mine shipped to my door today, samsung chip, disappointed..... BB charged me $80 something and is going to refund me the price difference and H@S, but no rebate.... disappointed. Didn't put it on yet, a little worried about its' quality since I'm running now a real crucial wit micron chip from newegg. Sign!

Get this! I got the raincheck for the DDR memory back in December because of course they ran out super fast. I have waited since then, calling and going by to see if it was in stock yet. No luck. Then on Wednesday night I went by and they had some Crucial DDR! It was all Samsung chips. But I figured DDR is better than nothing so I got one. They even matched it to the $24.99 price after MIR in the ad (which I kept for just such purpose). On the shelf the sticker said $69.99. I get up front to pay for it and it rang up as $89.99! Then the price adjustment took it down to $24.99. What a HOT DEAL!!! But wait, it gets better?the cashier didn?t keep the raincheck! So I went back today and got another stick! YES! The guy didn?t want to match the ad price of $24.99 this time but I pushed because they were out of stock when the ad price was in effect and the rebate is long over. So he got it approved and I went up front and checked out. This time the cashier kept the raincheck. Besides the board I am upgrading to only supports 2 DDR sticks anyways. So now I am going to order an ECS K7S5A and Athlon XP 1600+ from Newegg. So long SDRAM! Hello DDR!

I ordered some from online also. They said they can't guarantee that they'll refund the difference, but "she will put in a request". If they don't, then I'm taking it back, so it ain't a huge deal for me. If they do, I'm going to buy the other 2 that my dad ordered for his computer! I just hope they are micron!

i got my raincheck letter in the mail today and tried going to the store. it looks like best buy is screwing me, b/c the raincheck is listed as being filed on dec 16, when i had actually done it about 5 days earlier. also the price listed is $59.99

well, they have one locked up for me, but the problem is they wont pricematch it down to $34.99 unless i have an ad, because accorindg to their systems, it has "never been $34.99" i didnt keep the ad though!

i have till the 25th of this month (raincheck kept alive) to produce the ad to pricematch...any help is MUCH appreciated!! they said they will accept photocopy/printouts. tia!

 

[DavemanUT]

Whoa!!!

I'm sure that people would LOVE A scan of that flier. Anyone know if that ad was ever posted? We need to keep this alive. That flier is worth a lot!!

[SlickRick]

When was it on sale ? ? ?
I MISSED IT !

 

[ScrapSilicon]

<< if the PM'ing goes well at bb, i'm soooooooooooooooooo there... >>

huh? they are talking about unfufilled rainchecks that BB issued and are being told to kissoff by BB w/out a pat on the butt... the scan is proof to get BB to see the prior BB commitment the sale was back in Dec 2001 and TODAY Jan 15 2002 is the postmark by date for the $10MIR

[dc]

the sale was during the week of dec 9
so the scan is for those with rainchecks basicly.

 

[wuhoo]

dc you are the man! tahnks a bunch

now hopefully best buy wont get bitchy and say its only a partial ad but they need the entire ad....figures they would try something like that

 

[KLineD]

If anyone gets this thing PM'd, please let us know...anywhere, at BB, some other store, with CC...thats too good a price nowadays.

 

[CKDragon]

DC!

My personal hero... my rig will now have 768 Megs in it thanks to you.

[EDIT] Spoke a bit too soon, just called and my Best Buy (King of Prussia, PA) does not have any in yet... the wait continues. Still great to have the scan. [/EDIT]

 

[akahai]

my order was canceled....but after finding out that they still carry the product...I called and filed a complain......just got an e-mail back from them....says they will not honor my order......does anyone has any luck....?

 

[wakko]

do you need the raincheck? a stoopid question but i need some ram

 

[BrianA]

akahai:

I am also complaining about them cancelling my order for $34.99 stating that they will "no longer going to carry that product" (direct quote from 2 CSRs and a manager) then lo and behold they suddenly ARE carrying Crucial RAM but it will cost me $89.99 if I want the RAM I should be entitled too due to my incorrectly cancelled order.

Keep complaining. Don't speak to a CSR. Politely give them your name and telephone number and then ask to speak to a supervisor. Keep track of every person you talk to and when. Keep track of case numbers. I am on my 5th case with them and I am not going to let this drop. Now they are trying to tell me that the RAM at that price was limited to stock on hand. Funny, the ad doesn't state that, nor does it say no rainchecks.

Good luck

BrianA

 

[ManofSteele]

BrianA, I am going through the same thing. I filed a complaint with the BBB, it takes up to two weeks for a response. They tried to tell me that they dont pricematch special promos; it isn't a special promo, its an advertised special. I am trying to get in contact with tacoma99, he posted in another thread that his was backordered the whole time and received his the 12th of Jan or around there. If he could send us a copy, scan or fax or anything of the shipping statement the bbb said that would be VERY favorable for me/us.

Good Luck! I was told the same damn thing! That they was no longer going to carry the ram. Now you say they have it in stock at your local store? Thats plain FU*CKED up! They cancelled my pick and online order saying there not getting anymore!! GRRR

According to the FTC the unavailability of the product violated Sec. 238.3 c of the CPA. It states that: (c) The failure to have available at all outlets listed in the advertisement a sufficient quantity of the advertised product to meet reasonably anticipated demands, unless the advertisement clearly and adequately discloses that supply is limited and/or the merchandise is available only at designated outlets,

If the ad did not say while supplies last, file a complaint with the FTC.
