Another quick price drop from Staples.ca. May still be available in store.

READ CAREFULLY
0) I have the BestBuy/FutureShop flyers early so I know what's coming on sale
1) Head to Staples NOW and purchase the following item FOR THE REGULAR RETAIL PRICE SHOWN.
2) Return to Staples FRIDAY, with BestBuy/FutureShop ad in hand to claim pricematch.
3) Do not try to PM this before the sale takes effect on FRIDAY! Follow the above directions!

Anyone pointing out that these pricematches are not available because the sale doesn't start 'till Friday will show themselves to be true RFD newbies worthy of ridicule. :razz:

Don't forget to use coupons if you have 'em!

Another deal back for a repeat performance. BestBuy flyer only has the 2.1 speakers this time though.

thanksCrystal ball doesn't list the x530s this time. Doesn't mean they won't be, but it's just not in the flyer.

Take a big duffle bag and $35 with you to Staples. When nobody is looking, stick the speakers in your duffle bag and leave the $35 there.

contraire, if the product you purchase before the PM is over $50, then there is no shipping fee if after the PM, the costs of your total purchase is under $50. I had $5 worth of stuff sent to me without shipping before. :cheesygri

DO NOT SHOP AT STORE #32 (WARDEN/EGLINTON)

So... after school today (in high school) I went to Staples store #32 with a couple friends... one wanted the 512MB Sandisk USB drive (Stooples vs Costco) and the other wanted X-230 along with myself also wanting X-230.

So, there's two on shelf... we take it to cash, they'll only do ONE!! I'm like we're separate customers!.. Mike and Ahmed (managers) were like no you guys walked in together.. and we're a retail store we have the right to limit quantities.

Anyway, only got one set of speakers. but couldn't get USB drive cuz apparently they don't PM Costco (cuz they're a wholesaler) although it's on their list.

Oh well, any input on this? Think I should contact headoffice?

Wow, that's a load of BS, it doesn't f'n matter if you walk in together, you're different customers. I would definately report that #%^$. As far as i'm concerned, they loose their right to refuse a sale ("limit quantities") since they plaster their PM policy everywhere.

Good luck.

edit- GW is right, you shoulda done that. They were still in the wrong, definately, though. I sometimes forget little details like that. :o

Oh well, any input on this? Think I should contact headoffice?It's your own fault on the speakers. FOLLOW DIRECTIONS!! Each of you buy the item at full price separately. Then you can go to the Customer Service desk and get your PM refund.

yea i forgot.. heh.. oh well didn't really care to get the speakers... what's cooler is I called Staples by PMall, and they said they do PM tigerdirect.. so I asked about x-530 they're OOS :sad:

oh well, maybe next time.. but I guess I should call and see what I can get.

Oh and he can't limit quantities as per http://www.staples.ca/ENG/Static/static_pages.asp?pagename=help_policy_pricematch

"We reserve the right to limit quantities sold to an individual customer."

u need to *KNOW* that stooples PM policy inside-out... LITERALLY! :D

if u did, u could've argued and each of u and ur friends would've (should've) gotten the speakers...

Does anyone know if staples have to do more work for PM or for refunds? If refunds are hassles to them, you can purchase it at full price and go to a counter to request a PM or a full refund. I dunno. Just a theory.

yup.. oh well there were only two sets left... went with 2 people... so

1 wanted speaker
1 wanted speaker (me)
1 wanted 512MB USB

well I didn't really care for the speakers heh. Would it be a waste of time calling headoffice? or would I actually get something outta it?

yes, i think u should definitely call HQ...

ur PM was totally legit,, and the stooples MOD did not have the right to say that they're limiting quantities just cuz u walked in with a couple individuals....

the PM policy clearly states that its limit quanities to any SINGLE individual....

can't guarantee u get it, but i've heard ppl complain and get what they wanted... ;)

Successful in B&M store (Pembina in Winnipeg). They haven't changed the price to match with the online price. The girl called Bestbuy to check stock and Bestbuy person on phone essentially ignore her by saying "just come and you can get one, I'm not checking the stock." Still have 6~8 on the floor in Stooples. The manager didn't even bother to ask or change the price. The longest wait is for the time that Bestbuy picking up the phone.

Yeah, it was actually quite funny, the girl didn't know what to do after she hanged up and asked the girl besides. That's why I heard about it. Maybe the BB person knows it's from Stooples. (From call display or she said it??)

Winnipeg is usually the Stooples PM haven. I have never had any PM denied. :D
