Where'd you read that???

I am reading "ALL products and offers available in store only and not combinable with any other offers."

(Where did they find a word like "combinable"???

They had an HP last week that was priced at $199. Same deal, you have to pay for it in the store and it is then sent to you. $79 for shipping isn't bad...........

I can't tell what brand this one is. Is it an E-machine?
 
The $99.99 special looks like it is an HP Pavillon with a Celeron processor, not a very fast nor dependable processor compared to an Athlon or a P-3 or P-4.

I am not seeing all this shipping information though. The only disclaimer on that ad that I can read is what I posted earlier. In addition it states "Quantities limited, only while supplies last and no rain checks or substitutions."

Are your eyes THAT good that y'all can read all that fine print on that ad???

Ok, Jack and I went to Office Depot today to check the stats on the computer deal. First off I asked a clerk if she had a larger print version of the deal since the fine print was so fine I could not read it. So she takes a poster off the window! Then we could not get anyone to help us, so I used the ordering computer on the display aisle to investigate the deal.

Second, after reading the data we were thoroughly unimpressed and figured out we would be paying out alot more for upgrades, paying for shipping, have to wait almost 30 days for receipt of goods and then wait up to six months for a rebate. I love rebates and am very thorough with them but have you ever had something go wrong on the other end and they refuse your rebate? Well, it can happen.

So all in all, this is a terrible deal. In fact, "NO DEAL". Thank you, I will take my business to Costco who has a return policy of up to six months, no questions asked. And periodically they have coupon savings for the their computer sales.

Buyer Beware!

</font>[/QUOTE]Well, I owe you an apology, Baer, I didn't have the imagination to phone Office Depot or visit them to see if there were "hidden" conditions in their sale. I was merely referring to the sale ad that was part of the original thread.

Sorry that I didn't take the time to check into it more deeply and learn the "real" facts about their sale.
