Why is this web site deleting coupon codes? How stupid. They aren't illegal otherwise there wouldn't be a code.

Not to mention, this IS a hot deals forum.

Well I was one of the first people to order the Maxtor 40GB from Staples on 11/26/00 at 5:00 AM over TWO DAYS ago. Even though when I click on my profile it shows my order.

I still have not received my e-mail order confirmation nor can they locate my order when I call Staples C/S which is a good thing because I just dropped $1996 for a Dell Inspiron 4000.

For once, I am glad that they conveniently "lost" my order

Got my card and my Drive today. What am I going to do with over 80 gigs of space now? Any way I may go down to the B&M and pricematch another. They had 1 or 2 left. ATA100 and 45 gigs.

lilstevo, The drive was in the OD add on Sunday so just take it to pricematch.

Wik, I didn't get my hands on a circular so I guess that method is out of the question.

I talked to my CC company. OD cannot charge me an additional (ha) without my approval. And the one charge on my card reflecting the coupon is still in a "pending" status. Wow, I really expected better. Does anyone know if OD B&M will return online purchased items? This may be a moot point. I may never get the damn drive in the first place. This whole mess kinda makes me wonder if they (OD) ever really wanted to sell this item in the numbers one would expect such a deal to generate.
-note to self- In future do not order from OD.:disgust:

I ordered the drive from Office Depot too and it also says "Completed Marked Out" What does that mean? Also is says "3 Days Delivery Pending" does that mean they're still trying to ship it or is it on it's way to be delivered? OD is so confusing.

lilstevo.
I know it might be too late, but I used the print out from OD page showing the Maxtor box in picture with the description.
I got the price match, after I checked OD in my area didn't have the drive any more. The printout doesn't show it's on stock.

I ordered the drive from OD and the card from Staples...the card arrived today. The order status for the drive shows "Completed Marked" and the coupon removed, like others here. I really think this is just a cosmetic thing with their web order status, only an idiot would try to remove a coupon and ship the item anyway without the customer's permission. Then again, Staples has done it before. A simple phone call will clear it up if there are any problems. This is also why I always print a copy of my online confirmation to a PDF file...

Best regards,
Floyd

I called Staples today and successfully pricematched against Office Depot. S called OD to verify it was in stock. I used a $25 coupon, cost came to 102.83 with tax, free shipping. It's supposed to arrive Tuesday. We'll see what really happens.

Update (11/30) My order status shows "shipped", unlike my last order from them, which showed "processed" right up to the time UPS delivered it.

Boy are you guys going to envy me. Today my box of staples came (no controller card yet that is another shipment). Along with my staples, I received two electrical testers and someone's used utility knife. Aren't I the lucky one. I called Staples and they said that it must have been a mistake and as for the used utility knife, "an employee must have dropped theirs in the box and packed it up".

Ha, I really didn't know that shipping was such rocket science. Makes you wonder how you ever get what you order.

I called my local Office Depot store today and was offered a Western Digital drive as a substitute. They said Maxtor was out of supply, and they were waiting for new drives to be manufactured.

Tates, is the western digital the new 20/gig platter 40 gig? Is so then you got a better deal because that drive is faster than the maxtor by a bit. Also you can get your 30 rebate without the hassle of the ata100 and stuff.

I received my drive from Office Depot yesterday. It's 46.1 gigs at Ultra ATA 100 and it also comes with a 50$ rebate you can mail in... so I guess it's more like 80$ for this drive. Great drive too!

Mine is shipping today and I just got a price match from statles. Total cost: $90.45

Coool!

I also found one at an office depot in the San Diego area. I stopped by 3 OD's on my commute home.

Dual 40 megs!

Anyone think the ATA 100 controllers are any good? My board supports ATA100

Just a reminder to everyone that orders from staples or office max or office depot. Make a printout of your order. Staples is really bad about charging more than the actual order price. and if you talk to a customer service person and they give you a pricematch, but it never shows up on your card? just dispute the entire charge.
Staples is one of the worst companies about totally screwing up orders, good and bad.They have no policies what so ever, and each person you speak with will give you a diff answere to the same question. If you get the entire order charged off of your credit card,its up to you as to what you do with the item. You can keep it, or call the company up and have them send you prepaid shipping. But do not take it back to the store. The stores will either destroy the item, or one of the employees will take it home. I use to be a merchandiser for all of them and one of my jobs was to destroy merchandise. I took entire computer systems and smahed them beyond recognition. A very weird setup- but hey thats what they paid me to do.
Just do what is morally right for you!! And a last note. If your order shows up as being cancelled,print it out. because it will sometimes still show up at your front door, and the company never charges you for it.

Heads up. All Northern CA Office Depots recieved (2) of these today. If you call, note that they have to go search the inventory manually, as the drives won't show up in their database until tonight.

I got mine this afternoon. Oh yeah, one more thing - the new drives are ATA/100.
