[technote]

Staples : ViewSonic VA1912wb Widescreen LCD Monitor, 19" @ $469.95 (http://www.staples.ca/ENG/Catalog/cat_sku.asp?CatIds=89%2C465%2C3548,3551&webid=627457)

PM with

infonec.ca @ $365.00 (http://www.infonec.ca/site/main.php?module=detail&id=15832)

The Math:

in store =

469.95 - (469.95 - 365.00) * 1.1 = $354.50

online =

469.95 - (469.95 - 379.60) * 1.1 = 370.57
- $30 off coupon #1 : 82221
- $30 off coupon #2 : 82228
= 310.57

edit : + $15 for shipping = ~$327

I know a guy who PMed at store and got it for $354.50 (argued, and paid by cash, as reg price is $379.60 @ infonec.ca), I just ordered one online myself... at $311, it's about the same price as the Acer 19" WLCD, but you will get DVI-D for free!!! enjoy :)

I've wanted this monitor for a long time. I just emailed them for a price match quote even though I don't think it will go through. I don't think Staples will PM Infonec online.

[mahjongmaniac]

looks like a pretty good deal to me. esp. since it's w/ DVI. ... and also WS :razz:


btw, 4get about getting this instore,... the deal online is WAY better since u can use online coupons :)

Sweet! I hope mine goes through.

[bug]

Staples might deny an online PM because Infonec page says Availability: Please Call for Stock *FOR ONLINE ORDERS
Staples do PM most canadian webstores, but they will add an amount equivalent to what the other stores shipping would be.

[LNahid2000]

Thanks OP! I just got an email back from Staples with the same quote that you got and ordered the monitor. Yay, I finally have a widescreen monitor!

yeah, the 150% PM was way better than the now 110% PM,... but considering that they PM virtually "anybody" now, i guess it's not too bad

[technote]

ok, just got the price adjustment, they screw it up big time!

here's the first invoice

Merchandise Total: $469.95

Coupon 82221: -$30.00 Staples Coupon
Coupon 82228: -$30.00 Staples Coupon
GST (or HST): $28.70
PST : $32.80

Order Total: $471.45

then they gave me a credit of $50.37, which make no sense, so I called. they admit they were wrong, and adjusted it to 469.95 - (379.60 + 15 for shipping) = $75.35, and quickly got off the phone with me.

After hung up, I looked it up, remembered there's an extra 10% for price match, brings it up to $82.88, and since I shouldn't be paying tax at the old price, another 15% = $95.32, and made the total price $376.13, before tax price of $327.07, or $15+tax more than I first thought, due to shipping.

Looks like I have to call them tomorrow to get my $20 back...

realize something, every time they screwed up (first time i tried to price match, the wrong credit given, the phone call), it's all by someone name "sean"... I believe it's the same person...

another CSR named "brett" is the guy who got the correct figure... should i complain to staples about this "sean" CSR?

[Sheed30]

I just sent a PM request to stooples for this monitor too.Hopefully it goes through for me also but the "call for stock" at Infonec might get this PM request turned down.Worked for a couple members here so really no harm in trying it myself.If it does get approved I don't have the same problems as you technote.Thanks OP for the post.

[Shepherd214]

OOS GVR. What a surprise. Not even worth bothering with Stooples anymore. Whenever they catch on to us seems the stock mysteriously disappears :?:

[rahzel]

im reading this thread on this exact monitor now.... and everytime i look at it, i'm amazed by how great it looks. hope you guys enjoy yours as much as i do.
btw got it a couple months back when staples had it for $400 - 2x$20 coupons for a total of $360+tax

[technote]

I finally got them to adjust the credit to $99.39 (from $50.73, to $75.35 to $99.39), so the total is now:

$469.95 - 99.39 - (30 * 2) + 15 = $325.56
+ tax = $374.40

:)

[bdragon]

What's the usual time from emailing for the pricematch to getting a response?

Still waiting here too.I emailed stooples last night.I have a feeling my price match will be rejected but hopefully stooples will come through and accept.

[twboy1999]

do u have to buy the product first? and than email them that there is a better price out there and they refund u the money bakc?

thanx

[stunaz]

whats a step by step PM precedure?
i've never done it before but i wanna get this monitor

[ZUnit]

Still waiting for a respone here too form early this morning, doesnt look good. After a bunch of requests, they are probably getting mad at us :)

[vninja]

thanks OP
hope the price match goes through.
was looking for a good deal to use the 2 x $30 coupons :)

[Desolatax]

I already own one of these for my gaming machine, it is a very nice monitor, No dead pixels! I might consider picking up another :D

[markj]

awesome price on this monitor...i have one and its a great lcd...

[Desolatax]

This does come with a DVI-D and Analog RGB Cables as well a 3.5mm Cable for the speakers.

[Sheed30]

I am still waiting for my email from staples.Sent the email late last night.The longer this takes the less chance I feel this PM will be accepted.I think staples are on to us.Still hoping for good news but not looking good. :(


Just received my email rejecting my PM: :mad:

We appreciate your patience concerning this matter,

Seems like a dead deal.

[technote]

Sheed30 : i have to suggest you to try again, i found staples' staff's quality varies wildly from person to person. I got it price matched successfully, but only after 3 phone calls (finally got one that's willing to check for mistake).

[LNahid2000]

Mine got price matched successfully the first time. I'm pleasantly surprised Staples! And my final total should come to $357.16.

EDIT: And maybe it isn't working for others right now because the infonec link seems to be down.

[ZUnit]

bah. damn link is down, what bad timing, it was up all day, i sent in my request at 8am this morning and they dont get to it until the site goes down.

Edit: It's back now, the item is showing up correctly, thier navigation isnt loading, lots of mySQL errors.

[Sheed30]

The link to the monitor posted by the OP still works fine for me and shows the Viewsonic for $379.60.I searched the Infonec website for the monitor though and it was not found but the link in the first message in this thread still works.I replied to the email with the link from this thread but don't think it will do any good.

[tjuzer]

Better than dell 21 widescreen :?:

[ZUnit]

The dell was a 20.1" and it was $499 at it's best price.

[twboy1999]

can anyoneo explain the process of getting price match?

do u have to buy the item first and than email them>?

[technote]

to price match, first you send them a mail via their website (http://www.staples.ca/ENG/CSR/csr_contact_us.asp?CSREmailAddress=bd%2Epricematch %40orders%2Estaples%2Ecom&Subject=Price+Match&OrderRequiredFlag=No)

Fill in the required information, give them the a link to their product and then the link to where you find the better price.

Once it's approved, they will send you an email, instruct you to go ahead and order the item. Once ordered, they will email you, then you forward them the price match approval email as reply. Then they will email back and tell you how much credit they will be giving you.

Here is a link for a PM guide here on RFD.This deal seems dead at least for me as they rejected my PM request and this monitor is hard to find anywhere else to PM. ATIC.ca as it for $390 not sure of stock but I can add to my cart and order apparently.If the BenQ FP91V+ was instock for me @ staples I would have bought that.They have it listed for $397 and most online stores sells this for over $450 but as usual with stooples it is OOS for me.

I just tried PMing again with ATIC.ca.Hopefully ATIC as stock as I can add it to my cart successfully and it seems to be in stock.Price is $10 higher but any savings is great how ever small it is.Need to wait now for my email and another stooples excuse I guess. >:(

I tried it again with ATIC.ca, i did exactly the same as before, this time i get a reply back (19hrs later) saying they do no accept hyperlinks to competitors website, i have to proved the full details and descriptions, item numbers, adress, phone number of the competor. What a total pile of crap, they didnt care that i did it the first time when the place was OOS (by the time they got back to me) this time the other place does have stock so they needed a new excuse. I cant believe they have a pricematch policy, yet try every possible way to get out of it. What's the point? Get rid of the pricematching, it's giving us false hope!! :mad:

[ZUnit]

This deal is officially DEAD (as the competitor is OOS) and all PM threads are dead for 99% of us as soon as they are posted, only a lucky few manage to pull off the PM.

[mefreakboy]

...saying they do no accept hyperlinks to competitors website...

I've sent online PM's to staples before with competitor's wbsite links in the request and have always got the PM without this type of complaint. Stooples is always good for a laugh with their "invisible" policies. Very shifty practices. Too bad the Better Business Bureau doesn't read any of these posts. :lol:

[superbb78]

Guys, if u were not success by online's PM. Try in store PM. It always work. Just print out the infonec webpage and go to the store.

[ZUnit]

In store you cant use the 2x$30 coupons, which kills the deal.

Infonec is OOS, you could use ATIC.ca instore, which is $390.

Then the deal would be:

$469.95 - $390 = $79.95

110% = $7.99

so $382.01

Not a deal at all considering you could have Infonec order one in for you and get it there for $365 without the frustration of PMs

Maybe we ca PM with ATIC.ca online

$469.95 - $390 = $79.95

110% of $79.95= 87.95

Total would be:$469.95-$87.95(price match)- (2x $30 online coupons) + $15(shipping not free at ATIC).

Price before tax is $337

No, it isn't. Basically, you can bring your online receipt to your local Staples store, then tell them to credit back the different price to your Credit card. It's easy if they do. ;)

[ZUnit]

okay as a last ditch effort i called Stapes Customer service, they offered to match it to ATIC.ca, however apparently that company posts a $46 delivery charge, which they added on to the price. Killed the deal. I asked about the $15 standard one, they said that was only if the company didnt post a delivery charge. What a load of crap. There is no way to work this out!

I also tried PMing stooples with ATIC.I had my PM approved but stooples added $65.72 shipping to the $390 price. :mad: A savings of $14.23.I guess if you are not one of the first 2 or 3 people to PM you are out of luck with Stooples.If it wasn't for PM with other stores no one would buy any of Stooples overpriced stuff.Will wait for the next deal but really wanted this monitor.

[ZUnit]

yeh me too, i've be killing myself trying to find somewhere else that sells it for a half decent price online or nerby :) Infonec is the best (non PM) price if you can get them to order you one and you are close enough to pick it up.

elitechcomputers.com as this monitor for $389.It shows "In Stock" too.I don't know if they even ship or not.There is no shipping amount anywhere on the site that I could find so you might get the shipping for $15 added which would be reasonable.Better than full stooples price.For me stooples takes almost 24 hours to reply to PM request.Quite slow if you as me and I have had the same CSR each time.I will pass on buying this from staples for now but give them a call and try PM with elitechcomputers.Good luck!!

It looks like you cannot buy it onlinet at elitecomputers.com. Therefore, you can only PM in store and you will not be able to use the two $30 coupons.

That is why I didn't try a PM with elitecomputers but you may still be able to order from them if you sent them an email asking if they would ship.I just got sick of dealing with Stooples after trying to PM with other stores to send elitecomputers an email to inquire about shipping.With no shipping charges posted on the site anywhere stooples might only add the $15 to the price instead of $65 shipping they added when I tried PMing with ATIC.It is worth a shot,worst thing stooples will do is turn it down and I am getting use to that and their lame excuses. :) Stooples doesn't seem to like RFD members for some reason. :cheesygri Though they do get all kinds of free advertising for their store from this site ,they always manage to p*ss off many members with their usual antic's when there is a good PM deal. :evil: Anyhow,I will wait for the next PM chance and will keep trying.Here's hoping the next Stooples deal won't be OOS,as per usual.

[technote]

will it be mean to tell you guys how much i am enjoying this monitor? :twisted:

I just got it today in the afternoon, and staples seems to forget about the $15 s&h, so i just saved $15 more :lol:

[ZUnit]

they should take into account only 1 tax from ATIC.ca for Ontario residents since it's in Vancouver. That's 8% off right there, $31.20. Of corse that wouldnt make sense since it's not in thier favor :D

Great job on the deal.Wish the rest of us were as lucky.I wanted it really bad and almost bought it at regular price with the 2 $30 coupons but other deals will come along in the future.How is the monitor for watching movies? I read a post on the Ncix forums where a guy said it wasn't great for movies but I find that hard to believe.Judging by the specs it should look beautiful.I am looking at the cheaper Acer AL1916ASD now.It as pretty decent specs and as fairly decent reviews.Not widescreen though. :( Enjoy your monitor.

I think you already did get the $6.50 10% difference added in to the PM quote.$469.95 - $405.00 = $64.95 + 10% ($6.50) = $71.45. It works out to $398.51 - $60 (2x$30 coupons) = $338.51 + Tax just like the quote from the Staples CSR.Still a very good price.I wish I was as lucky with my PM for this monitor.When I tried PMing with ATIC staples added a $65.72 shipping charge to the ATIC price killing the deal for me.I wish they only added $15 like your PM as I really wanted this monitor.I ended up PMing staples with ats-computers for the 8ms 19" ACER AL1916ASD w/DVI and got it for $283.85 + tax,after PM and 2 X $30 off coupons.Not the monitor I wanted but the price was pretty good so I will give it a try.

[crxmugen]

yup, still alive, just set up my WIDE screen monitor, clear, no dead point
and PM no problem

it's much better than the demo in staple, that one's kinda crap, with blur, shadow... may be display driver isn't right

very happy about it :lol:

[vninja]

I bought this online when deal was first posted Feb 8, but infonec was oos before my pricematch was approved.
But i held onto the monitor figuring i have 30 days to take it back and maybe they would have stock again. they still don't, but yesterday i successfully got pm in store with computrak. they have it for $380 online, lets you add it to cart, so they didn' t check stock.
here is link i matched to:

http://www.computraksystem.com/componentsdetail.asp?procode=9769

in future, i think i will try pricematches in store. they have to get the manager, and after customer service starts getting busy with everybody asking him stuff and people lined up behind me watching, i think he just wanted me out of there! :D
didn't even add shipping to PM

final price $469 - (2x$30 coupons) - ($98.95 %110 price match) = $310.05 + tax

i love the monitor. no dead pixels, small amount of light bleed, but who looks at black screen with lights off anyway? only negative is it stretches older games that don't support widescreen.

thanks OP and RFD

[ditto]

where did you pm in store and use online coupon? normally they dont allow that. Let us know the location!

ViewSonic VX2025wm (http://www.viewsonic.com/products/desktopdisplays/lcddisplays/xseries/vx2025wm/)

it's around ~$510 + tax everywhere though... so... $200 for 1 inch gain? not very RFD is it now...

They just PM'ed infotec price if 285.00 for me. Now if I order online how do the 2 coupons work. Have never done this before?

I am sooo mad. Just drove up to my local staples store and they would not price match anyone unless they were in the same town, She said that is the policy. I told her to read the policy and she says that the one on the website and the one they have posted all over the store is not correct.

I bought this monitor yesterday in store for 379.99. memory express has it for 274.95. She said right away NO! Then we got into a big argument. I stormed out telling her I would return it tomorrow. I will report them for false advertising as well!!!!

I just got the online PM from staples as well... but they said i must order it and wait till its processed before they will give me the price match (with Buy.com) they didnt match the 5% btw.

My question is how do I apply the 2 coupons in this case? Thanks in advance!

I picked the Viewsonic monitor up last night at infonec and the price was actually $275 (on sale apparently) not $285 as the listed price. Not much but it was a pleasant surprise. Haven't had the chance to hook it up yet, will do so tomorrow for sure.
