Have you done this deal yet? From what I undersand OfficeMax will only pricematch other office supply stores such as Office Depot and Staples.

I called them and they said they would pricematch all online competitors if you fill out their webform for pricematch and it is legitimate reseller. While I had CSR online she said that there should be no problem matching us1digital. Waiting for online form to be approved, but bought with AMEX blue just in case.

Where do I find the online pricematch form?

Found it.

goto www.officemax.com and then click customer support at bottom of the page and follow the pricematch link

Did you fill in the next day delivery charge of 59.95? Office Max will most likely add that onto the pricematch price.

I was planning on it,then the CSR told me that (for some reason) would only be charging $24.00 for shipping. I agree, they usually charge one day charges, who knows....

I've found the OM CSRs to be the NICEST anywhere! Be careful not to offend them. Be polite and reasonable, and they will stay the NICEST for ALL of us!

In all my years of going to Office Max, I have YET to successfully price match with them from any other place besides Office Depot. They always practically rewrite their pricematch policy on the fly if you find a really hot deal that's going to lose them money. Watch, they won't let you price match because the other place doesn't have a Q in their name or something

 

[lefort]

Maybe posted this a little early, I will give you feedback if it works. Now you guys have me a little nervous. If it doesn't work then I will return.

Given that can anyone come up with and equal or better way to make this purchase?

This deal is perfect for an AMEX Blue PM. You can use the coupon and get the lower price without screwing around with OfficeMax, and not have to worry about them adding any extra shipping charges.
