Stooples already at it for hiding the stock. I sense a disturbance at Head Office. :evil:

[SergesPlace]

Is it a web exclusive ?

[lonelydriver]

can you scan the flyer please

[mahjongmaniac]

wtf?

why's FS reg. price STILL at a whoppin $220?... vs. BB's $130 reg. price?

this just proves how much BS it is when FS/BB have "sales"...

they never bother to do a price drop on their reg. prices and then a yr later, they make a sale saying its $XX after $XXX savings thinkin u actually save >50%.... :rolleyes:

don't get pulled in ppl by this BS....



anyway, good deal :cheesygri

[pinkyroo]

I'm a PM newbie. So if I were to buy this at stooples at $249 tomorrow to ensrue I get one and then I could go back on the 10th with the ad and ask for PM and get the difference plus 10% back?

Its been 10 years since I've done a PM LOL.

Supposingly yes, but with all the BS staples has in store for you, it might take some time and effort.

[setell]

It would be great if we can order it online at Staples and use the $20 off of $200 coupon ontop of it to get a even better deal. The only thing is that Staples oos :mad:

It's absolutely normal, since they don't want people to PM. They might go as far as taking the item off their inventory listing completely for awhile. I bet it will be in stock again shortly the sales at FS ends.

[riskit]

in stock in MTL

[ditto]

still in stock for me (M4C), there are 8 left.

[rain]

darn :S I just bought a 2G 150x for $132 few weeks ago :mad:

[MizTEcK]

so how do this work? i buy from staples TODAY and wait for the price drop?

[ender78]

There is a industry wide price adjustment in the works. Prices are plummeting.
$99-130 will be the new "regular" price. Sandisk is dropping the price of memory 30-50%.

[pmdoit]

so how do this work? i buy from staples TODAY and wait for the price drop?
Yes, but do it now tomorrow will be to late(staples oos), and the deal is smocking hot just look the maths:
$249,95-$99,99=$149,95x10%=$14,95
$99,99-$14,95=$85
$85-$30 coupon-$10 coupon=$45
So grand total $45 +tax for a 2gb Sandisk sd card

[Siefer999]

Yes, but do it now tomorrow will be to late(staples oos), and the deal is smocking hot just look the maths:
$249,95-$99,99=$149,95x10%=$14,95
$99,99-$14,95=$85
$85-$30 coupon-$10 coupon=$45
So grand total $45 +tax for a 2gb Sandisk sd card
umm. you do realize the 30 coupon is $30 off $150 right?

[jerryhung]

Yes, but do it now tomorrow will be to late(staples oos), and the deal is smocking hot just look the maths:
$249,95-$99,99=$149,95x10%=$14,95
$99,99-$14,95=$85
$85-$30 coupon-$10 coupon=$45
So grand total $45 +tax for a 2gb Sandisk sd card

Note that the coupon ($30 off $150) won't be valid after the PM price, if they do let you PM.
$10 coupon, well, see if they catch it.

[pmdoit]

umm. you do realize the 30 coupon is $30 off $150 right?
I know but you apply the coupon before pm and as you know they do the pm before coupon.

[kcjchan]

I know but you apply the coupon before pm and as you know they do the pm before coupon.

Who saids?

[jory29]

so how do this work? i buy from staples TODAY and wait for the price drop?

Yes, but hope that they don't screw you over when you go in for the price match, with them saying, "NOW that we ALSO dropped our price to match their price, we can only do a 100% PM to our current price, not a 110% PM." That happened to me before, after I pre-purchased an item, back in the good ol' 150% PM days. Good luck! And - act early, man. The earlier, the better.

[elmokiddo]

So...
Will the coupons still apply making this very hot, or no...making it steamy warm?

[pmdoit]

Note that the coupon ($30 off $150) won't be valid after the PM price, if they do let you PM.
$10 coupon, well, see if they catch it.
-you buy today
-you apply all the coupons
-you call friday for the pm
Done

[greatdeal]

any idea the speed of this sd card ?? :?:

[mahjongmaniac]

Yes, but do it now tomorrow will be to late(staples oos), and the deal is smocking hot just look the maths:
$249,95-$99,99=$149,95x10%=$14,95
$99,99-$14,95=$85
$85-$30 coupon-$10 coupon=$45
So grand total $45 +tax for a 2gb Sandisk sd card

note that the coupons MUST meet the min. purchase req'mts after PMing...

PM price is $85, so u can't apply the $30off150 coupon.

the $10 is no min. so u can apply that.

essentially, the price after PM + coupon is $75 + tax.

[nsx]

any idea the speed of this sd card ?? :?:

Same as other Sandisk Standard SD cards = 32X. ;)

[greatdeal]

Same as other Sandisk Standard SD cards = 32X. ;)

Thanks for the information, it's a hot deal.

[wikka]

Does anyone else have info on the industry pricing of SD cards? I've been reading hints everywhere that flash based memory prices are plummiting soon but no sure answer.

[ahbong]

if i want to take advantage of this deal, how should i proceed?

it's still available in staples for me, should i buy it now and wait to pm when FS pumps out the flyer?

please shed some light on this one

BTW, i am buying this for the kodak 10x camera i bought from staples 2 days ago, :twisted:

[minghia]

Can I apply the coupons in store if I give the cashier the coupon code, or can the code only be used online?

Thanks

[minghia]

Let's say I buy 2 of them...

So, $85 after PM x 2 = $170

I can therefore add the $30 and $10 coupon, correct?

It would therefore come out to $130 + tax, am I right?

Will I have any problems with the PM this friday?

[Frank]

Its not OOS in M5J area code....downtown Toronto. Just a heads up

[pmdoit]

sameone can scan the flyer?

[kcjchan]

Staples just dropped the price down to 129.94.

[Nitram]

Staples just dropped the price down to 129.94.

confirmed >:(

[kcjchan]

Thanks

It all depends on the cashier. The coupon codes WILL work in store (basically they use the same POS across their whole corporation) but some might consult their managers, in which 90% of them will say no unless you got a paper version ready.

[sf1]

so no pm stooples anymore?
they dont need to hide their stocks then

[kcjchan]

sameone can scan the flyer?

Don't ask for it unless you want to be banned. FS is a sponsor and RFD has agreed not to leak any flyers online until they become official.

[kcjchan]

Lol, supposingly yes. You wouldn't believe how many items they hid during boxing week (completely removed from inventory) and then mysteriously popped back up after a week.

You can still PM. But then you won't save the extra $30 that was applicable before the price change.

[AllWheelDrift]

Same as other Sandisk Standard SD cards = 32X. ;)
Actually I just did a bunch of searching and the 'net and this is what the concensus seemed to be:

Sandisk Standard = 16x-20x
Sandisk Ultra = 32x
Sandisk Ultra II = 60x
Sandisk Ultra III = 133x

[fl4wless]

hmmm might be interested.

[minghia]

What do we have to do next if we bought it last night?

If I receive my order on Friday, can I go in-store to PM? (bring my online receipt and product) and will they give me the discount?

[cavanagh]

You can still PM. But then you won't save the extra $30 that was applicable before the price change.

Alright, I am confused by this. If you get it from Staples and then pricematch it wouldn't you save 50% of the difference up to $50? i.e. This would mean you subtract $50 from $99 to get $49?

Or maybe it is just too early in the morning for me to do PM math.

[minghia]

They changed their PM policy:

If you find a lower advertised price on an in-stock new identical item from an Authorized Canadian dealer, now or within 30 days of your purchase (14 days on computers and laptops), just show us the price. We will match it and give you 10% of the difference as a credit to your purchase (maximum $50 credit)!

[minghia]

I don't understand why someone can't post the flyer on this forum.

How is that "leaking" the flyer if people here have already received their flyer in the mail? Leaking would consist of releasing a flyer that has not been officially circulated to the public yet - clearly not the case.

Thank-you I did not realize they changed the policy.

[blkm3]

well definatly they changed thier prices . This would probably due to ppl saying PM stooples . They read this forum!! . It is a standard if you are on this forum .

[lonelydriver]

did anyone check the instore price? is it still 249?

[Bigmouth]

Last night I checked one of local staples stores and they had no 2GB Sandisk SD card at all.

[jshebib]

Staples in Ottawa (merivale) has no 2 GB. Spoke to them and they said they are hard to get.

I purchased a 2GB from FS today, will pick it up in store (merivale) tomorrow and ask for price protection.

These won't last long so I am jumping on it.

staples downtown university toronto doesnt have any in stock either, they dont even have shelf space for it...seems staples in store doesnt carry it much

price still shows 249 online here

futureshop downtown has it for 129.99...so i dont know how they say save 220...technically save only 30, picked it up myself since theres only 2 left, will get adjustment tomorrow...probably wont bother pm'ing staples since it seems to be a online pm thing and would probably be shot down

edit: nvm i clear cache and cookies and price is now 129.95 for staples...wont bother pm'ing for $3 off, for those trying to use 10off no minimum, probably OOS when you try to order it

[minghia]

I don't get it..

I bought 2 of these from staples last night for $249.95 each for a total of: $499.90

Merchandise Total: $499.90
Coupon 82232: -$10.00 Staples Coupon
Coupon 90120: -$30.00 Staples Coupon
GST: $32.19
PST: $36.91
Order Total: $529.00

Now when I go to staples tomorrow and show them the $99 FS deal, will they give me 10% of the difference of the price that I paid and which is written on my receipt ($249.95) OR will they give me 10% of the difference of their new price $129.

In either case, I can still use my $30 and $10 coupons, right?
Since: $99 x 2 = $198 (so it's over $10 and over $150)

How does that work?

[yoshi838]

I just ordered it online at staples w/ $10 coupon. Do I apply for the PM online? Or should I wait and bring the receipt/FS flyer to store to get the price fixed?

[g_goo_goo]

I saw at least 10 at the Heartland FS.

[tjuzer]

Is this faster than kingsten :?:

[raccoon]

today I went to staple in Fredericton,N.B.
There are gone!
Also out of stock in the internet.

ur math looks good. if order subtotal is > the coupon min. purchase req'mts after PM, then ur coupons should go thru.

g luck getting the PM...

[mahjongmaniac]

Don't ask for it unless you want to be banned. FS is a sponsor and RFD has agreed not to leak any flyers online until they become official.

well, FYI, the flyers have already been recv'd by the public since Wed. which makes it "official"

thus i believe the flyer scans are now allowed to be posted.

[sucker4adeal]

Could someone please clarify the PM process for BestBuy? I know they do PM FS prices but what is the % difference do they give you back. Thanks!

just ordered ,99 bucks. that's good price. I am going to PM

[AllWheelDrift]

FYI: Costco.ca has the Sandisk Ultra II (High Speed version) for only $6 more.

[mahjongmaniac]

sale is up now

add it to cart and price corrected.

add it to cart and price corrected.

^ :confused:
sorry don't know why i quote your post

[ZenOps]

Yup, Costco is a much better deal for $6 more if you need the speed (high MP cameras mainly)

[VaderX]

staples price is $130 now. i bought it for $250 2 days ago... will they pm $250 or $130?

[HotDealsRock]

if u have costco membership u could get the 2GB Ultra one for the same price instore (according to some people) or 6 bucks more from the website
good price for a fast card ;)

[SMARTT]

http://www.costco.ca/en-CA/Browse/Product.aspx?prodid=10282256&whse=&topnav=&cat=

[fl4wless]

staples price is $130 now. i bought it for $250 2 days ago... will they pm $250 or $130?

they will use the 250 price. Note though, their PM policy indicates the 110% is only on one item, additional items they would just match.

Hence in your case, you should get one at 85 (99 - 0.1(250-99)), and one at 99 after PM, plus tax. Unless you get a stupid person working there that will PM both.


And i agree, to all out there, get the ultra from costco.

[lovefreefood]

Great price. Just ordered. Just can't resist some of these deals. I can't justify paying another $6 for the Ultra II at Costco when the speed difference will not be that noticeable. I'm currently using the regular 1 GB Sandisk and it's plenty fast. :D

[VaderX]

thanx for the reply i appreciate it. I think you misread just a little. i said i bought it two days ago... i didnt buy 2, just to clear things up. But no worries its all good. Thanx again for the quick reply.

[Gdog]

I would also pay $6 more to get the Ultra from Costco (plus, you have the Costco satisfaction guarantee, which you won't get from FS.ca after 30 days).

Nice post OP. :lol:

Crap, I paid $190 + taxes for this card there a few weeks back. Is it too late to get a price adjustment?

[AllWheelDrift]

It's Costco so with their return policy you could probably just return it saying your not happy with it and then buy it again at the new price. :lol:

[fl4wless]

Great price. Just ordered. Just can't resist some of these deals. I can't justify paying another $6 for the Ultra II at Costco when the speed difference will not be that noticeable. I'm currently using the regular 1 GB Sandisk and it's plenty fast. :D

its noticeable in my SD300 camera. The slower SD cards cut out on videos made after a certain amount of time, you need a higher speed card and than the max movie length will be teh same as the size of your card.

[fl4wless]

thanx for the reply i appreciate it. I think you misread just a little. i said i bought it two days ago... i didnt buy 2, just to clear things up. But no worries its all good. Thanx again for the quick reply.

lol ya my bad, been on the comp too long today, mis read ya. haha.

[polaris]

I'm not so sure if you can pricematch futureshop at staples. Cause at futureshop, its currently labelled as a "Doorcrasher". If they dont check, then its all good. But if they do, they are on good grounds to deny it.

[cavanagh]

Crap, I paid $190 + taxes for this card there a few weeks back. Is it too late to get a price adjustment?

Probably depends on where you got it. If it was Costco you should have no problems. If it was FS or BB you probably have a month.

Not a really problem if the pm don't work we can always return it and buy the Ultra II @costco

[yoshi838]

Ordered yesterday around 3pm. I received the 2GB SD already. I also filed the PM request. But seems like I'd be returning this 2GB reg. SD and jump on the Costco deal.

Kudos for Staples for extreme fast shipping.

[SLee]

its noticeable in my SD300 camera. The slower SD cards cut out on videos made after a certain amount of time, you need a higher speed card and than the max movie length will be teh same as the size of your card.
The SD300's best video mode only needs about 12x write. The regular Sandisk should be 32X. The only area where it'll benefit the SD300 would be the continuous shooting mode.

[optimum]

Got one at the downtown Montreal location (they had about ~50). Im gonna return it tho, I found out that my Palm Zire 31 has a 1go SD card limit. Lame..

[nsx]

The SD300's best video mode only needs about 12x write. The regular Sandisk should be 32X. The only area where it'll benefit the SD300 would be the continuous shooting mode.

Exactly!

[noname]

The SD300's best video mode only needs about 12x write. The regular Sandisk should be 32X. The only area where it'll benefit the SD300 would be the continuous shooting mode.

For writing data from a point and shot camera I agree that 32x is suficent. on the other hand... if you want to read the data off the card, it's best to get the fastest card possible because the USB bus can handle a lot more than 32x.

Also, memory cards will last a long time (lifetime) while cameras will tend to get better and faster transfers rates as they improve so it might be worthwhile to get the faster possible card, especially considering if the price differecne is only $6....

[SMARTT]

The SD300's best video mode only needs about 12x write. The regular Sandisk should be 32X. The only area where it'll benefit the SD300 would be the continuous shooting mode.

What about the SD550?

[thendless]

Well ive been following the thread since day 1 and ill report...

I bought the card online at 249 and used the 30$ coupon only (I forgot about the 10$ one...). anyways... here was my total on wednesday night when i ordered it:

Sku: 632336
Description: DCSAND 2GB SECURE DIGITAL
Qty: 1
Price(Each): $249.95
Scheduled delivery 2/10/2006 by DHD

Merchandise Total: $249.95

Coupon 90120: -$30.00 Staples Coupon
GST (or HST): $15.40
PST : $17.60



Order Total: $252.95

Anyways.. I sent in my PM request at around 1am last night and received the pricematch email a few hours ago:

Thank you for bringing the lower price on item (insert) at Futureshop.ca
to our attention. We have credited the difference in price to your Visa
for the amount of $189.71.

Please don't hesitate to contact us if you need further assistance.

We appreciate your patience concerning this matter,

Candice,
Customer Service Representative

So net price after tax and PM = 252.95 - 189.71 = 63.24 :cheesygri

So it looks like they still included the coupon even after the PM... looks like it was worth my time! 2GB SD for 63.24 after tax... it could have been 53.24 after tax if i included the 10$ coupon, but im not complaining.. this is hot enough for me! Only bad thing is i wasnt home today and they came and left a note saying they came... oh well till monday I guess...

I bought the card online at 249 and used the 30$ coupon only (I forgot about the 10$ one...). anyways... here was my total on wednesday night when i ordered it:

Sku: 632336
Description: DCSAND 2GB SECURE DIGITAL
Qty: 1
Price(Each): $249.95
Scheduled delivery 2/10/2006 by DHD

Merchandise Total: $249.95

Coupon 90120: -$30.00 Staples Coupon
GST (or HST): $15.40
PST : $17.60



Order Total: $252.95

Anyways.. I sent in my PM request at around 1am last night and received the pricematch email a few hours ago:

for the amount of $189.71.

So net price after tax and PM = 252.95 - 189.71 = 63.24 :cheesygri

So it looks like they still included the coupon even after the PM... looks like it was worth my time! 2GB SD for 63.24 after tax... it could have been 53.24 after tax if i included the 10$ coupon, but im not complaining.. this is hot enough for me! Only bad thing is i wasnt home today and they came and left a note saying they came... oh well till monday I guess...

Wow, it costs me that much just to get a 1G card from BB a couple weeks ago. Congra on the hot deal!!

Ya eh... Im curious if anyone got the same thing as I did with the 10$ coupon as well... that would be even hotter!

[VaderX]

staples price is down to $99. I sent them an email this morning (fs had ton of stock left) but haven't gotten a reply back yet and its oos at fs. I think they are going to deny it. dammmmit!

[minghia]

Yup.. worked for me too.

Had ordered 2 of them for $254 a couple days ago.
Price matched over the phone with FS $99.
Stacked the $30 and $10.

Came out to $75 each tax in.

It was basically a 2 for 1 deal if they would have left their price at $129.

You're lucky to have gotten that CS rep.

They're supposed to apply the coupon AFTER price match... so you were really not eligible for the $30 off $150 coupon.

Good job.

[pinkyroo]

I think this is dead now. I just checked staples.ca and its 99.99 now on there.

[Kasakato]

I think this is dead now. I just checked staples.ca and its 99.99 now on there.
The original OP deal was the FS 2gb $100 card. And that's perfectly alive. The PM with staples was a secondary deal that no one expected to last long.

[VaderX]

well the deal is definitly dead online since fs online is OOS. It still may be alive in stores.

[mzoo001]

Thanks for the information, it's a hot deal.


Way better deal, you can get SD or FC SAndisk ULTRAII for 99.99!

I picked up one Today, its FAST!

[mahjongmaniac]

well the deal is definitly dead online since fs online is OOS. It still may be alive in stores.

usually, these "front pg deals" / "doorcrashers" / "limited qty items" sell out w/n the 1st day (for high traffic stores at least)... so u'd be lucky to find any of these instores on Sat. morning, if at all.

best to phone and check for stock 1st to save a trip.


btw, u can always try to do the online ISPU option and "reserve" it, if store has stock.

For me there's still stock in all the local stores.

wow, so lucky.

Candice must be a novice CSR i suspect... :P

they should've removed the $30off150 coupon since ur min. purchase req'mt for the coupon was not met...

lucky b**** :D

anyway congrats on the sweet deal.


hm... i wonder where Chris, Mike, etc. are ? ;)

it's typical of high-traffic stores, but i could be wrong if no1 wants this....

same here with $10 coupon too

[pmdoit]

Just think at that:
Most of staples coupon are one time use for each acount so if you buy first and do the pm after 2 day's and your purchase are not qualify for the minimum require for the coupon they should remove it BUT if you remember the coupon was unique use so you can't use him again then you can ask for the coupon value since they remove it and you can't use him anymore.

[Corel]

can i buy it instore using the coupons applied at the full retail price, then come back and PM it?

[VaderX]

they don't carry 2 gigs version in stores... at least thats what the MOD at the ellesmere store told me... then again hes a ****** so your best bet is to call the store near you and double check it.

[pmdoit]

Don't think you can find it in store, new price at staples is $99,99 so no pm, and for the coupons you must be very lucky to use them in store

[Corel]

im happy with the price of 99, i think i'll put the greed aside and the hardships of PM and grab it for 99 on saturday morning.

do it on line and save $10(coupon)

[lovefreefood]

I think this is dead now. I just checked staples.ca and its 99.99 now on there.
It's also OOS in GVR. :mad:

[ah bao]

very nice deal...

good luck to ppl with the pm's

wow, u listen to what the MODs tell u?

err.... if they're willing to hide stock, why wouldn't u think they'd LIE (it ain't the 1st time...) ???

best is to ask a CSR to check computer stock for avail thru-out the prov., usually those are quite reliable....

[VaderX]

so i called staples and they say they haven't recieved a single price match request from me... where as i sent in 2 one of friday morning (when the sale started) and one yesterday afternoon. They didn't get any of my requests. The difference in price for PM is quite big and they "didn't get my requests". coincidence?

Even if they did, FS/BB are all OOS now and they will deny your PM request, like I just got my PM deny e-mail today

Let's hope FS/BB restock soon

[nicolaim]

FYI: Costco.ca has the Sandisk Ultra II (High Speed version) for only $6 more.

That's a much better deal.

[Desolatax]

Costco has these in the Ultra speed version for $99.99

Why didn't you just call them Friday morning??

[VaderX]

Why didn't you just call them Friday morning??

for the last year or so I've always sent in an email for a PM and they have usually replied the same day (when i send the pm email in the morning). So i was waiting for them to reply on friday but that didn't happen.

[hedgehog]

Just picked one up

which one is better? this one or the Ultra II from dell? I'm thinking the Ultra II is faster.

They had 129 earlier today.

[pandaharo]

Why buy from FS when you can buy form costco for the same price for the ULTRA version? :)

[teknoluv]

geez, their prices are dropping like crazy
I'm not sure how long have they been having this MSRP, but the days when a 2GB Ultra II cost $200+ were gone for sure:

But then, I am still waiting for thisCostco deal (or Dell, or whatever) to be live again ...
