Final total was $135.xx

No shipping charge but I think he miscalculated...
Managed the do the price match at FS. the total came at $135; rep mentioned that their system will apply the correct tax when the card is charged and the total should be aprox $127. Knowing my luck I am sure that will not happen however he said to call back and they will make the necessary tax amount adjustment.

did you guys order online and then call into customer service to do the PM, or did you the whole transaction over the phone? Thanks.

all the best.

by Hello-
You've gotta wonder what the cost price of this router is when BB/FS so easily accept PM's $50 below their list price and the prices of generally all computer stores.

The person on the phone double discounted me by mistake. But he caught it after he submitted the order for me. He said I would get the router at the mistaken price of 56.75$

Trying to decide whether or not to buy. Won't need a router till April and I'm wondering if a better deal on this router will popup by then.

Maybe. If Staples issues more of those $50 off $100 coupons, etc. I'll wait and see, no rush.

I never bought anything before from FS online. I called them and they did it all with me on the phone. They first agreed to the price match I then purchased it and they adjusted it.

Where do you get the $50 off 100? I've signed up for their emails but have never received that coupon.
