Atleast at the local store on Kamakee in Honolulu the 'ON-Sale' Verbatim DVD+R's are only 1-2.4x.
I'm bummed.
My illustrious view of Office Depot is tarnished. This past Tuesday I called about the Maxell sale for 4x 50 packs for 59.97 buy one get one free and was told they were out. I ask/said that I could come in before Sat (last night) and get a raincheck? He told me I had to come in that day so I peddled over there like 3 miles just to get a raincheck.
This morning I saw the OD ad and peddled down to get the same deal on Verbatim 50 packs for only 54.97; $5 buckazoids cheaper. HoooWaaa.
I got there and went in just as the store opened at 10am and went back to find their display, .... 5 pieces! .... and it was only 2.4x.
I was stunned.
I went back up front to the manager and showed him my raincheck on the Maxells and told him the Maxell story and now the Verbatim story. He knew there were only 5 pieces there to cover the sale.
I asked him couldn't I just fill my Maxell raincheck with 4-25packs and he said no.
Wow.
I have had so many incredible deals there that I can't move them down from my favorite place to shop but boy did they tarnish the shine.
I had 3 months ago bought a Linksys WRT54GS router and WPC54GS cardbus adapter $180 for both and was given the 4-$10 dollar rebates (2 each) right at the register since they didn't have the rebate forms. You really can't beat their customer service ... usually.
Anyway enough pissing and moaning.
I just hoped I could save someone a trip.
Now I wanna get some sleep and later look for their raincheck policies and see what it looks like I'll get. I know someone who got a raincheck from Office Max for a Phillips CD burner a couple years back and when they couldn't get more they gave him a better one. Nice.
