BUT, notice that the after-PM price is still >$300, which means you still qualify use a $30off150 and a $20off150 coupon! (see section below).... so assuming you can PM + use coupons, that drops it down to ~$297 + tax!!! :razz:

[SuSHi]

i'm gonna try this again i think with B&M, doing it online was a huge mess which i'm still tied up in at the moment

[Tender]

Which one is better? This one or Dell UltraSharp 2007WFP?

[Moebiwankenobi]

If you PM Staples online, will they charge you BB's shipping cost? As far as I have experienced, I can't use the coupon codes in store. Thanks.

EDIT: Next day shipping to Calgary is $44.95....which kind of kills the deal if Stooples tacks that on the total after PM price.

[makman_2000]

Is this monitor better than the 22" Dell monitor on sale for $279?

[Myleena]

Let's say I buy now at Stooples with 20+30 coupons, that would bring the price down to $329.95, which is lower than the BB $350 deal... Would Stooples still PM ?

[God_Anubis]

If you try to PM online, business depot will just add a ghey $15 shipping surcharge (due to their claim that Bestbuy charges shipping) on top of the pmed price...this is happened to me several times now.

Now i'm wondering, is it possible to PM successfully in store without that nonsense shipping charge? the only problem is that the online coupons will be become void

as you can see pm is getting more difficult

[Myleena]

Even with a $15 shipping surchage, the price still looks good ($297+$15+taxes) :?:

[GVRtrader]

For that price, why not get the Dell and save a few bucks for similar quality?:-0 I love Viewsonic but i rate Dell/Samsung just has highly so for me, it would be cheaper of the three whenever i buy a monitor.

+1

[Myleena]

I'm still mad at myself for missing the UltraSharp deal at $299 two days ago :mad:

Do Dell ever have more than one monitor (or anything else) in their 10 Days Deals? If so, I could wait a little bit.

[fau13]

this online deal sucks.. stooples will charge about 50 dollars for shipping....becasue BB overnight delivey is about 50 bucks..

[mahjongmaniac]

If you PM Staples online, will they charge you BB's shipping cost? As far as I have experienced, I can't use the coupon codes in store. Thanks.

yes, PM online they'll charge you BB's NDD cost

as for using coupon codes instore, big YMMV.

doesn't hurt to try tho... i've heard of odd cases of success in the past.

and try diff. stores if possible.


EDIT: Next day shipping to Calgary is $44.95....which kind of kills the deal if Stooples tacks that on the total after PM price.

yes if stooples tacks on NDD charges on BB's price, then of course no deal.

PM calcs do not take into acct coupons.

so it's stooples' $380 price vs. BB's $350

[mahjongmaniac]

If you try to PM online, business depot will just add a ghey $15 shipping surcharge (due to their claim that Bestbuy charges shipping) on top of the pmed price...this is happened to me several times now.

let's keep in mind that the $15 flat s/h tack-on is ONLY if stooples can't readily find the NDD charges on competitor's website.

stooples has become a lot smarter it seems as they actually go AFA trying to checkout online at FS/BB.ca and see how much the expedited s/h costs if you were to buy it online f/ FS/BB.ca...
and then use THAT s/h charge to tack onto FS/BB's sale price before doing PM calcs....


Now i'm wondering, is it possible to PM successfully in store without that nonsense shipping charge? the only problem is that the online coupons will be become void

s/h charges aren't considered when PMing instore.

and the coupons - it's not that they become void, but rather the most impt part is whether or not they'd honour the coupons.


as you can see pm is getting more difficult

if FS/BB still offered free s/h, PMing w/ stooples online would be so much easier / hassle-free....

they usually do have >1 LCD for sale during their DOTD cycle...

[mahjongmaniac]

bump.

rather than opening a new can of worms, thought i'd just re-use this thread.


starting tom., BB will have this on sale yet again for $350.


same PM/coupon deal for those who wanna try :)

[CSR]

Is it still true that "ALL 22" monitors use the same panel, just repackaged differently?"

[Kyle_87]

I have been using this monitor since moving from my 21" CRT. I bought it for roughly 400 awhile back. Never bothered using the speakers since i figured they were junk, the monitor isn't bad but some reviews say it's performance is far from stellar. Overall i'm happy with mine.
