after receiving the "backordered" notice from best buy for the geforce 4 earlier this morning, it now says cancelled in my basket.......(before it said In Process).

The only thing that bugs me about this deal is that it had text saying "special preorder price" then when they switched the price to 399, they changed the text to "preorder". that is more than a glitch in their system. oh well, could have been a great deal.

Well, remember when the AMD Athlon giveaway was going on? I went to the stop in Sunnyvale. I brought 4 members of my family as well and we stayed overnight the night before and made a long weekend out of it. We got some stuff that was thrown into the crowd and that was fun, but the kicker just showed up from FEDEX. I tried to bribe the reps with donuts while we were there and one of the reps was really nice and offered to mail me a hat that I asked for in return for a donut.

I just received 6 new hats and 6 new T-shirts from that rep. WOW! What a guy! I'm too big to wear the T-shirts, but I love the hats.

Anyway, just another reason to like AMD's products.

Jebus: Whoever was talking with you on the phone was talking at least partly BS. Here's some links from crucial: (I dunno if there's any session ID's, to find this manually, click on FAQ link at top of main page, then customer service category, then returns sub category)

What if I need to return my order?
Solution:
If your module is not compatible with your system, you can return your memory to us for a full refund within 30 days of the ship date. In the unlikely event that your module is defective, please call us! We will happily replace it at any time. At Crucial, our limited warranty guarantees that your memory will always work properly.

So, just tell them it isn't compatibile with your system or something.

Quote from the terms of sale : http://www.crucial.com/company/termsofsale.asp
If Crucial determines that failure of the product(s) was not a result of a defect in materials or workmanship, Crucial reserves the right to charge customer for parts and labor at Crucial's then current labor rate or charge customer a 20% restocking fee. Crucial will advise customer prior to assessing these charges.

That's where the 20% restocking fee comes in, if the failure of a product was not result of defect.

Basically it looks like crucial says you can only return if its broken or not compatible, I didn't realize that. Kinda silly.

I purchased a HP Photosmart 315 camera and 1000 printer from Staples in Nov 2001. They had a rebate going on called "Picture the Savings". I know many people jumped onto this deal. I sent in the $100 dollar HP rebate to the Young America address. Here is a link to the rebate I used. http://www.hp-at-home.com/offers/hhoCenter/otherCoupons/coupon108.html. I havent recieved the rebate yet, so I called HP rebate center. I spoke with someone, and they said they didnt have a record of my rebate. They told me to fax them the copies of the stuff I sent in, so I did so. Earlier this week, I called them up to see what the status was, and they told me that since I purchased the products from Staples, I they forwarded my rebate to Staples rebate center. I was furious, and even talked to an HP manager. He told me that Staples had the same rebate, but that I was suppose to send my rebate to some place in Texas that did Staples rebates. He told me I would have to contact Staples. So I called Staples, and explained the whole thing, and they said they have no record of HP sending them rebates! I dont know what the hell to do. I want my $100 bucks, but how can I get it if noone has any records besides me? Anyone else have this problem? >>



Sounds like they fed you a line. Quote from that web page: 2) original or copy of store-identified receipt for all qualifying product purchases, dated between September 30, 2001 and December 31, 2001, with purchase prices circled and

It says store identified, doesn't say send to special address or anything. And the mail to address doesn't say mail to here only if you haven't purchased from staples. Call HP back and tell them Staples said that was nonsense, and that they need to send you out a check, even if they have to place a stop on the other one they supposedly mailed. Thats what I would do anyway

It's been that way for awhile. When the price of ram was dropping almost daily, Crucial put that on their website because people were calling in asking for price adjustments. When they couldn't get them, they would just send the ram back and reorder. That 20% restocking fee put an end to that.
