This deal was buried in another B&M deal from a while back. Buy.com is offering Free Shipping today, so you can get a nice deal on a Rio Volt portable CD/MP3/WMA player.
Steps:
1. Call Staples to order special order item IM1262106.
2. Price match with Buy.com (item number 10273635). Linky
3. Don't let Staples try to charge you for shipping...
3. Apply one of the $25 off $100 coupons (you should know by now where to look).
Total shipped cost = $131.95 - $25.00 = $106.95 plus applicable sales tax.
I ordered this last week but had to pay shipping... Oh well, still a great deal for a great player!
Update: Buy.com free shipping good through 6/6/01. This deal will cost $112.90 plus tax (figuring $5.95 ground shipping) after the free shipping promo is over.
Like many other offers involving PM'ing with Staples, some folks are having problems finding a CSR that will let them do this deal. If the CSR will not do it for you, simply thank them, hang up, and redial to get a different person. I have heard of some folks having to go through as many as 5 CSR's before they could get the deal to go through.
Also, so that you don't have to look below, once you get your player, you should definitely download the 2.00 firmware upgrade from HERE. Full instructions as to how to load it and new/fixed features are contained in the readme.txt file.
