I tried to get this deal on... and order on 9/17.
Linksys Wireless Router $79 + tax AR AC @ OfficeDepot 9/15-9/20
And got an order comfirmation that I would get it 9/20.
On 9/20 I check my order status online and it says "waiting to fill".
Today, 9/23, I call my local office depot and ask what's going on?
Manager tells me they no longer carry the Linksys wireless router... so as usual I get all pissy on her... but am still sorta calm.
She tells me she can give me it's Dlink equivalent which is a Dlink 614+ wireless router. (Which spec-wise seems better than the linksys... 22mbps vs 11mbps etc.).
She then tells me she'll cut off an extra $20.00 for the delay... and I thank her
Then while I'm surfing the Dlink website I find a $30 rebate which is valid till 9/30.
So here's what I scored... going to go pick it up tomorrow. She kept me one up at the counter with my info etc.
A Dlink 614+ (22mbps and 4 port 10/100) wireless router for $50.21 (See my amazing math below!! )
$100.21 (My total for the Linksys wireless router from OD online receipt)
-$ 20.00 (Manager discount for the delay)
-$ 10.00 (Mail-in rebate from Dlink website) Sorry... not $30 rebate... only $10.00
------------------
$ 70.21 Total for a router that sells for cheapest $112.00 on pricewatch and that's without shipping costs!!
------------------
If someone else got a better deal... oh well!!
But I hope those of you who didn't get your Linksys can benefit from this deal!!
Sweetness,
Mer.
EDIT: OK so that's not $30 mail in rebate ... it's only $10 I guess, because I am only getting the router.
My math has been updated
EDIT: Office Depot online still has the Linksys router "in stock"... but according to the store manager they don't sell it anymore... weird
