Well I finally got the hd that OD should have delivered.

On Tues, OD delivered an opened box hd to me. I immediately called them and was told someone would call me about an even exchange. Surprise, no one ever did. I called back and the csr I spoke with set up a new order with notes that it was actually an even exchange and to apply the $20 coupon and an add'l $10 for my trouble.

Today OD picks up the hd they delivered but doesn't bring me a replacement. I call back again and csr says no one can give her any answers. She says she'll call me back. Surprise, she never did.

I called back a little while ago and this time got a csr that went above and beyond. He said the system showed the replacement was cancelled by someone and that now the hd's show as store pick up only. By now I start to raise my voice. He called the Cerritos store and they had gotten 2 in. He explained the situation to the Mgr, asked him to hold one for me and to apply a $20 coupon and give me another $10 off. Mgr said no problem. After 2 days of getting the run around, I now have my hd. Oh, don't bother calling the Cerritos OD, they don't have anymore. Within the 10 mins it took me to get there, someone else put the other hd on hold.

My story gets better...While I was talking to the csr he looked at the return order for the orignal hd. He said the system showed I paid $75.76 but they credited me $97.41 :Q I told him the csr noted that I used a $20 coupon so they'll make an adjustment and credit me what I paid. He said it didn't matter what she noted, he was looking at a $97 credit issued back to me. I guess I'll find out in a few days when the credit hits my cc.

Thanks tgillitzr!!! I'm glad someone thought to save that page. I have the original printout of the two pages from OD's website, but didn't think to save the page.

What is everyone sending in for their Maxtor rebate? Are you sending in the entire label or just the portion of the label with the UPC code on it?

Just curious..

Okay, mine came in today (ordered Sunday nite), even though I recieved a confirmation message Monday morn saying delivery was going to be next week on Tuesday the 27th. I had to pay tax of 5.04 but it was shipped from Texas and I'm in Arkansas. The total amount for the drive has yet to taken out of my account.

My question is should I have been taxed for an out of state online purchase, and is there a chance that I will recieve another drive on the 27th on top of the one that came in today?

Some states (not all ) allow taxes on online purchases.
This sucks, I was going to get this for my GF's dad and now it looks like a no go....

I'd say no. If you go to OD's web site and put in your order number it will say delivered.

the local OD has some on the shelf, so I am going to try using the online order form that shows the 20 off 75 coupon. If that does not work, where can I get a copy of other OD coupons, like 10 off? Are they printable, or do you have to get them in the mail?

don't worry I guess it is the same

as per OD item description

ST0154000U is the model name and L01J040G is the manufacturer #

average read seek time 8.7 ms
buffer size 2MB
interface EIDE (Ultra ATA/100)
manufacturer Maxtor
model name ST0154000U

This is not true!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My girlfriend and I both purchased a drive. Hers said st0154000u and mine said L01J040G . Hers said ata 100 on the upc but had a sticker on the front ata 133. Minesaid ata 133 on the upc and had a sticker on the front ata 133.

I bet you will get screwed out of $30 if you send the st0154000u to Maxtor.

Some replies?

I can not find any printable coupon for anything off office depot now. Maybe they had them all removed.

Searching for this item on Office Depot now gets you a blank spot. The item seems to have been removed from their online catalog, as its not listed under hard drives anymore.

Likewise. All I could find are click-thru's. In the past, I used a click thru and printed the shopping cart. OD DID match the price, but it took about three conferences between employees first. But now, I cant even add the HD to shopping cart.

I do have a $15 off $100 STAPLES coupon. I think I will go to the local B&M to see if they have any stock and if they will accept a comptetitor's coupon (which expires today !!).

I would assume that searching for "printable coupon" "Office Depot" on your favorite search engine would provide a great deal of helpful information.

If anyone in the Tampa Bay area is still looking for a drive, I just left the Dale Mabry OD (the one near Kennedy) and there were two on the shelf.

GO GET 'EM !!

Help!! I ordered throught the OD site and got it via delivery. What do I use as the receipt? There was no invoice--just a delivery sticker on the Maxtor shrink wrap.
