nice, finally a deal for blank dvds for my new dvd burner

 

[Cheetah8799]

ya, I'll be buing some blank dvds too. I'm almost out...

FYI on the memory card readers. I bought one a while back for compact flash cards. Assuming it's still the same model, it works pretty well!

The Khypermedia DVD+Rs get mixed reviews over on DVDRHELP, so buyer beware:

I had perfect success with Khypermedia DVD+Rs in my BenQ drive - better that Imation.

 

[ImSeeker]

I agree about the khypermedias being "iffy" - I had a pack of 25 that just wouldn't burn right on my Lite-On 851s - since the LiteOn was new, I blamed it and got an 811s to replace it. Still no good.

Got TDK dvd blanks from costco - burned fine.

Just FYI.

 

[studguy1]

I had a 50:50 success failure rate with KH DVD+R on my Lite-on. Finally moved on to Ritek G04 have been trouble free ever since. KH is also notorious in screwing up with your rebate so beware. Buy with little expectations.

 

[NuKe9]

Any chance the Imations are on the sub list?? If so, this is hella hot!!

 

[CtlAltl33t]

I just got burned on a Khypermedia rebate from OM, claimed I had an incorrect UPC

watch out

Same here, got a card claiming that I mailed the incorrect UPC. This was for the 100-pk 48X CD-R spindle. :disgust:

 

[laidbacklarkin]

yup, same invalid UPC here...OM rebates really do SU%# !! Now for the resubmission..sigh !!

 

[Microman]

You guys do the complaining, and when and if my card comes to deny the rebate for me, I can call, and they will be aware of their fraud they are creating. I couldnt decide whether to send the one on the top or bottom. THey both looked identical.

I will call and complain, and go to the store, with my copies, and complain, Maybe even take them back in, and ask for a refund.

man i hate rebates

 

[Growltiger]

Back in an August promotion, I bought a Kypermedia CDr spindle and it was denied because of the UPC. I called and the CSR corrected the mistake. Unfortunately, the rebate has still not been paid despite it being "valid" for what seems like forever. It's only for $8, so I'm not out a whole lot. Considering all the FAR items I've actually gotten free, $8 really isn't much of a loss in my opinion.

 

[SearchMaster]

OfficeMax rebates have gotten HORRIBLE, IMO. The only rebates I've had problems with. The latest one I'm fighting over is a rebate I mailed on 12/12/03....they claim the postmark is 12/30/03...wth? They are "looking up the submission", but I may end up having to go to OM B&M to get this one. This is about the third OM rebate I've fought with in the past 6 months, but the first one that has escalated past, "I'm sorry sir, I'll push this one through just this once."

 

[Steve0]

Same here, got a card claiming that I mailed the incorrect UPC. This was for the 100-pk 48X CD-R spindle.

Same here too. I just called the phone number on the card, got through to a live voice; he asked me to read the numbers off the copy of the UPC that I kept, then told me the rebate would be on the way in 6-8 weeks.

It wasn't much hassle, but it was totally unnecessary.

 

[exisle]

another hot deal that might have been overlooked is the external usb floppy drive for $10 after rebate, might be nice to remove your computers of a floppy but still have the ability to quickly hook one up should the need ever arise, plus most bios allow for usb floppy booting.

 

[Nitemare]

OfficeMax rebates are an absolute pain. Over half of the valid ones I submit get rejected for various reasons and I basically have to threaten them to get my money.

 

[xfarmer]

most problems with OM rebates seem to point ack to the Khypermedia products. I also had the "wrong UPC" denial, but a phone call resolved the issue and the rebate has been received.

 

[Hodaddy]

On a positive note, I received my Khypermedia DVDRW rebate in a record setting 28 days! Go figure.

BTW, does anyone know what's on the substitution list for the 25-pack of dvdr's??????
