UPDATE!!! - office depot $50 or $70 off $130

[Tash]

for those of you who used the stacked coupons - call your credit card company and check the order on the OD site. They have charged "adjustments" to remove all coupons except one $20 one.





UPDATE -
Called 800-944-3340 option 5 and they gave me a refund of the extra charge.

 

[gogeeta13]

good heads up.

That is shady as hell. I am guessing they didnt consult you for your permission as well. Force your CC to deny the adjustment charge, and keep the order when you get it.

 

[Dm0n3y]

Havent Charged me anything....But if i do get charged. I will want to give my lawyer a call. Making "adjustments" on the transaction by taking more money off your credit card after the purchase has been completed is illegal. Whats the word i'm looking for....Oh yea, FRAUD.

Has this charge "adjustment" happened to anyone else?

Yes, it happened to me. I just returned the stuff and the manager had no problem with it and gave me a full refund. If you need my help, let me know.

It's no more shady than you using coupons meant to be one per purchase, not to mention non-transferable, etc etc.

 

[webley]

I think it is against the law for a company to make a charge to your credit card without informing you.

Uh not it's a lot more shady. They willingly sold the items. The people here did NOT give Office Depot permission to charge them more money.

Yea, Its the same as you coming into the store....buying the item and then they chase you don on the street and take money out of your wallet.

 

[Madcat207]

Correct.. this is ILLEGAL as all hell.....

 

[MOONKEY]

I just went to their site, typed in all the coupon code -- nothing like "no stack" or "one coupon per order" showed up. Sure, when I tried to valid them, it only allowed one NOW, but not then. They really have no ground charge more.

 

[ScrapSilicon]

A cash transaction doesn't get a "chargeback" ..

 

[cyberia]

That's what one-time use credit card numbers are for.

 

[Frykun]

[UncleWai]

that means the order is cancelled.
Delivery Refused = the smart way to cancel your order.
I've gotten "delivery refused" twice from OD, this HDD, and half a year ago's free DI-614+ router.

I was able to get my router because I ordered two, one using my home address and a second one using my corporate card and my work address. My home order had that 'delivery refused' crap, but the other one was shipped to my job.

 

[Pardus]

used a one time cc # myself, od couldnt charge me anything even if they wanted to, that # i used is expired.. amex rocks

 

[amdskip]

My capitalone website is down for maintenance, will check in the morning. If they charged me more, they'd better be prepared for a battle.

 

[Thoreau]

For those of you dealing with this, if the 'adjustment' is a seperate transaction, simply tell your bank to issue a chargeback. This not only nails OD for the amount of the charge and gets your money back, but it also hits OD with an additional $25 chargeback fee (VISA and Mastercard, not sure about other network rates.)

Ding ding ding. WRONG! Try thinking about it again

 

[allisolm]

Please! None of you accidently stumbled into this deal. You knew going in that you were stacking coupons that ordinarily can't be stacked. If you get hit with additional charges and want to fight them, be my guest, but don't come in here justifying and rationalizing your behavior while hollering about shady, illegal, fraudulent actions on their part. Save your "righteous" indignation for your lawyer. It just won't fly here.

 

[allisolm]

Double post goblin at work.

 

[vroom1810]

I did this deal and my hd arrived Nov 7. I made a printout of the actual order and one that doesn't show the coupons. Both printouts of course say $83.21. Now to send off the 2 rebates totalling $55.00. I'll keep my eye on any unathorized charges, but so far so good. I used American Express Blue.....vroom1018
