NCIX: AcomData 3.5IN IDE/SATA Enclosure, PM Staples for $22.72 after tax & MIR YMMV

[innacana]

I know this deal is from the other thread (http://www.redflagdeals.com/forums/showthread.php?t=751568), but haven't seen anyone talked about it. So thought of posting a separate thread, if it helps anyone.

Acom Data Samba 3.5IN IDE SATA Hard Drive Enclosure USB 2.0 Fanless Obsidian Black is $29.99 at Ncix sale (http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=27417&promoid=1087) until tomorrow, and $40.31 at Staples (http://www.staples.ca/ENG/Catalog/cat_sku.asp?CatIds=&webid=728545&affixedcode=WW). If you pricematch, the price comes to after 10% difference and after tax $32.72.

There is a Manufacturer's rebate of $10 (http://www.mirhelp.com/acomdata/acomdata-june-rebates-09) valid till end of this month, so the final price comes to $22.72, which is a very good price from both SATA and PATA enclosure.

This enclosure has got great reviews and it comes in a retail box, not OEM. I am using one, and love it already. Its YMMV I guess when you PM at staples with NCIX. Good luck PMing Staples!

I bought the enclosure from NCIX in February and it also had a $10 MIR...haven't gotten anything yet. I think it's a scam.

I got the rebate from them, but it took really long time, about half year

Same here. I had sent this in along with a Gigabyte MIR for a motherboard, and I have already gotten a confirmation email from the motherboard stating that the cheque is on the way. No word at all from this enclosure.

I am surprised that they PMed without adding in any shipping fees. No go with an online PM request.

eeee

[innacana]

Online PM request at Staples will always add shipping, unless you get free shipping. But stores are always big YMMV PMing in-store. They have PMed for me this time, but the same store denied in the past.

Good luck with the MIR. I'm still waiting for mine from Dec 08.

Warning: DO NOT buy anything from this company expecting a rebate, as it will likely never arrive and you'll only get some activity after emailing and calling a few times.

Unbelievable the work they make you do to get a measly $10 - I'd rather not buy their products.

This is 100% a scam, as I've never had a problem with a rebate in my life, but mention AcomData rebates to anyone in the PC business and they'll immediately give you some horror stories.

hope the rebate comes in i bought the Acom Data Puredrive 500GB 7200RPM USB 2.0 eSATA External 3.5IN Hard Drive for 59 from ncix 2 weeks ago.

I once bought an AcomData external drive with a MIR and after I submitted it, I found out about the horror stories with their rebates. Luckily, I got my rebate without incident about 4 months later but I haven't wanted to try my luck with them again.
