lol, there is NO way this will work, you can't stack coupons...

 

[TimidOCer]

On all this coupon stuff, I'd be interested to hear what happens when the bill comes and how their review/accounting adjusts the dollar amount if any.

Anyone doing this see their charge card yet?

This could be a major hassle for people if they up and reject the codes during some order review. They look more closely at orders that do price matching. Just coupons.. it may slip by for a short time.

Luck to those that are doing it and hopefully someone posts they got the 'right' charge on their cc. This one sounds chancy overall and getting any big items is a hassle to return. But.. you can deliver to the local store if worse comes to worse.

Yes please let us all know how you "multi-stackers" come out on this deal. Thanks

 

[yellowperil]

I could be wrong, but I thought they had a 3 coupon limit

 

[TimidOCer]

yellowperil, Did you get that from the thread that i said to look at ? The only reason they couldnt use 4 was because it would go over the buy price But this stays JUST under the buy price so this may work can someone verify this for me ???

 

[Daud]

Calm down folks.
First, you can not get around shipping cost. I have the "luck" to be outside 30mi Staples delivery zone. That means, that the monitor will be shipped by UPS. The CSR cannot add overnight shipping fee (skyhigh!) to the pricematching equation. I can argue, that the monitor from them will arrive in the same way like from that other on-line store. But you still have to accept the UPS shipping fee into pricematching. Then, they automatically add the tax, which btw on higher amounts like this is more "visible". So in my case I ended with net $356 delivered.

My personal rant:
Is this a good price ? I could have the MAG Innovision 810 FD (very similar) for $376-25 from Onvia last week but they raised the price to 407 since then.
This monitor was a good buy from Mercata for people who were on time for $100 Mercata dollars and MSN promotion. Folks, are you happy with the quality ? I want to hear the negative comments, too.

 

[shamu]

You might be able to stack em if you do the order on the web site, but if you call a CSR and request a price match and then try to add 3 cash off coupons there's no way in hell.

 

[Serkcah]

Holy Crap this worked my total is 309.00 for this 19" Monitor just got off the phone with crs..
This is a Sweet deal :>0 thanks.!!!!!!!!

 

[TimidOCer]

Serkah What was your csr's name ???

 

[oreoafk]

IT WORKED???

 

[qwan0888]

looks anything at staple is really about the CSR, u have a good CSR u got anything u want, u got a bad CSR, will refuse any PM.

 

[Serkcah]

Matt was the crs name!

 

[dafatha00]

why dont you try it then if you think it will work

 

[TimidOCer]

I am gonna try it as soon as i return my monitor i just bought at office depot

 

[Dizway]

Will they pricematch Onvia's price of $428.98 In Stock?

 

[Serkcah]

CRS Rep told me that he would enter all of the codes i gave him. As long as it went
through without rejecting the coupons. Then on the last coupon he tried to enter he was
getting a red light so that must be the limit. Any good luck ppl..

 

[Healey]

As far as Staples placing a higher charge on your CC than you agree too. This would be a good time to use the one-time CC solution. On the MBNA system you can set the dollar limit. You avoid any surprises that way.

 

[Serkcah]

Dizway: Yup it will work!

 

[Serkcah]

Healey: How does that work??
