Factory Direct - Belkin PC Starter Set - $10

[el_gopo]

**Edit: No need for a coupon, $9.99 is now regular price.
According to some readers, they have seen some with opened (possibly used) products in the box, be sure to open the box yourself to ensure all products are new.

Checked out my factorydirect flyer today and saw they had a pc starter set (includes: surge protector, gel mouse pad, gel wrist rest, 6 pack cable ties, 3.5 oz compressed air can, USB (type A to type B--i think that's what it's called), and 5 cds)

I was looking for a new gel mousepad and a surge protector and the mousepads i saw usually ran at least $15.

and no, it's not a refurb.

There's a coupon in the flyer, but at the till the girl had a stack of them already cut out in the drawer...

Glad that particular location was being nice with the coupons, but NEVER count on Factory Direct to have coupons in-store. They've made me drive home to print my own coupons off many times (chalking it up to "policy")

[Elusive]

does anyone have the coupon?

They use to have that option which shows the inventory at different stores; I don't see that anymore on their web site. Anyone else notice it.

yea i noticed that too!!!

They actually still have the "CHECK STOCK" button there, it is just hidden.

If you click on the area next to the "ADD To CART" button (see picture attached), you will be able to check for stock.

P.s. I picked one up at the Nepean store this AM and they had at least a couple more in the front. Using the mousepad w/ Gel wrist support as we speak and I think it has paid for itself already in relief.

That surge protector looks like the one Dell sold for $20.

[catastrophe]

[Gutty96]

$17.50 shipping in Ontario. Yikes, that's $31 total.

Still a good deal?

It depends on what you need. I was looking for a mouse pad with a gel rest and a surge protector. When I went into staples, cheapest mouse pad like that was $15...and a decent surge protector is probably similarly priced. If you were wanting to get those, you get a bit extra as well--still pretty decent, I'd say.

[ksoze]

Word of warning: some of the boxes look pretty battered - majority look faded for some reason, so open them up to inspect the insides.

They had a ton of them in the Markham store. Make sure you open up the box (none of them are sealed) and make sure that all the parts are sealed. For example, in my box the surge protector, cdrs, keyboard gel wrist pad were all sealed - mousepad was by itself. My brother picked up a set as well, his surge protector was white (supposed to be gray) and wrapped inside bubble wrap. But his mousepad was sealed in a blister pack. Air canister and cable organizers were also factory sealed for both boxes.

Many many thanks!

Anyone order from them online? I did last night. Well I think I did. I was taken back to the homepage when I clicked confirm. Not a confirmation page of my order. Also, I have still yet to receive anything from them in the way of an e-mail or phone call.

Should I call them soon?

[to_munda]

I picked up one at Scarb location. They had a whole skid of it on floor.
Very good buy. Already installed. May buy another one.
;)

[ZIgot]

Very good deal on that kit!

[coldpower27]

Gonna check this out...tomorrow. :P

[Matrixvibe]

gotta check this out too, thanks op

[Keiichi]

Too bad they force expedited shipping methods for BC...
$20 for shipping.....ugh

[ADay]

I picked up 2 of the kits, no coupon required here in london... and yes the surge protector is from dell.... and least mine was one of the papers in the surge protector box said dell on it

[elty]

How good is the surge proector? i am thinking of getting this just for that,

[ADay]

I would say it is decient, it issurance protection is $250 000

[alafly]

Just FYI, it's better to open the box to check it before you buy. Because I found someones in the box have already been used but not all of them.

My 2 are new. Awesome quality including TV in/out and tel in/out!

[Matrixvibe]

Great price, i picked up one, and as the other user said you should check the contents of the box, i checked some boxes, some contained used/opened items, while others contained new ones.

[muskokarocks]

All stores show stock. I'm going to pick one of these sets up.
Nice deal.

[jeffsentra]

I bought 2 of these a couple weeks ago... awesome deal with good surgeprotector. I had belkin brand...

[jaszy]

About 30-40 sets on a shelf at the North York (Dufferin) location. Was there this morning to buy a bluetooth headset for my dad before I head off to school. Tempted to grab one of these Starter Sets but it's pretty big and I didn't want to lug it around on campus. :lol:

[jokadeska]

Anyone manage to find this in the toronto downtown location recently?

[rp_guy]

great price if it's in your city

[jokadeska]

downtown location has 1 left. Funny thing is.. the power bar that they supply, they sell it single for $20. Whole pacakage only $10...

[godshoot]

I picked up 2 from the markham location, what got me worried was the label on the back. It says "this product may contain some chemicals including lead, please wash your hand after handling" (something like this) Nonetheless this is a crazy deal, the keyboard and mouse pad is very comfortable.

[kelvin]

picked up one after work mainly for the mouse and keyboard pad.
Best deal i got this year.:D

I picked up 2 of these from the Dufferin location as well. What is up that warning? "This product contains chemicals including lead, know o the state of California to cause birth defects, or other reproductive harm. Wash hands before handling" Maybe that's why it's $10.

Yea, I was scared too. Maybe this is from china. But seriously can they be selling stuff like this?

EDIT: I found a link regarding belkin products in the state of CALIFORNIA. Check out the discussion.

Consumers warned not to eat mouse

[look30]

picked up 2
Thanks OP

[GarthD]

Wow, really great deal...picked up a kit at the Kitchener store tonight. Quite a few boxes left.

[an0nymz]

anyone knows if this is still in stock at the Toronto location? The website says it's in stock almost everywhere, I called to check but nobody picked up. It would suck to walk all the way there in this weather to find it OOS =)

[chrisanthony14]

doesnt the coupon expire december 24th?

[bylo]

"This product contains chemicals including lead, know to the state of California to cause birth defects, or other reproductive harm."
This only applies in California. As long as you use the items in the kit outside of California you should be OK.

P.S. Your keyboard and mouse probably have more dangerous bacteria on them than anything, including lead, in the kit. Do you wash your hands after handling them?

[TheLittleGuy]

Toronto location had about 20 last night at closing, im picking mine up tonight.

[dinesh_zee]

a bit off-topic...

does Factory Direct sell bigger cans of compressed air? not as big as the ones in costco though...

[bttnat]

I saw at least 30 boxes at downtown Toronto location yesterday. (downstairs, left hand side)

[chrisanthony14]

Hi everybody

I've just been to the factory direct on duffern and lawrence and they have like 20 boxes of the belkin starter kits..

[coriolis]

Picked up 4, one for my sister, aunt and cousin. Hell for $10 it's worth it alone for the surge protector :p

[bigredlemon]

great deal. I was all ready to blow $6 on a can of compressed air alone!

[Anonymous_]

picked one up in the dt location, had a stack of them
pretty dusty and banged up package, it was probably in the storage for a long time, hence the cheap price

now i have all this crap and dont know what to do with

also, my can of air is missing that straw, check the inside before purchasing

thanks! I'm going first thing tmr :D

[el_gopo]

For anyone curious about the size of the compressed air, it's only 3.5 oz. Still enough to do the innards of your compy a few times...depending on how dusty it is.

[rhorvath]

Kitchener still has 5 or 6 left (at least on the shelf...priced at $9.99). I picked one up when I went in for a LG Bluetooth headset HBM-730 last night. I have been using that Belkin mousepad for years...in fact our whole family does. The mousepad alone costs much more anywhere else. Super value for all the goodies in the box. A bit ... no a lot ... dusty though......:cheesygri
