BB Excuse: NCIX Product is different / OEM.

Answer: NCIX is selling the retail version of this product, you can see that both NCIX and BB carry the products with the same manufacturer's part number:

NCIX Part #: DTI/4GB & BB Mfr. Part Number: DTI/4GBCR

They are indeed the same; however NCIX left the suffix "CR" off. They can call to verify with NCIX if needs be.


BB Excuse: NCIX Online Reseller.

Answer: NCIX Retail Locations: http://www.ncix.com/contact/


BB Excuse: NCIX is wholesale.

Answer: NCIX is open to the public with no minimum purchases or membership requirements.


BB Excuse: Limited Quantity

Answer: It's a good deal and they want don't want a single customer to buy up the entire lot, just like BB limited quantity clause on extra hot deals.


BB Excuse: Limited to Stock on Hand

Answer: Every store has a limited stock on hand (even BB).


BB Excuse: Cash only

Answer: No, NCIX accepts major credit cards and debit cards without an extra service charge; you can also offer to pay with cash if you like.


BB Excuse: I can't give you the PM

Answer: Please provide me with your corporate contact for BB; I would like to make a formal inquiry with regards to the PM policy that BB so proudly advertises. Also, ask the manger for his business card. Some managers will sometimes change their attitude completely when they relize you me business and somehow PMs happen (Usually the manager will say: "I'll do it this one time.").


BB Excuse: Please step aside and will continue on the side

Answer: Sorry, but please complete my transaction first. (When I've previously stepped aside, they purposely tried to forget about me and hope that I would just disappear.) A growing lineup also places pressure on them to do the right thing, instead of trying to find excuses from underneath a rock to try to deny a legit PM.


BB Excuse: Talk amoung themselves. (delaying the situation, give them time to think up excuses)

Answer: I sometimes start talking about how difficult it's to get a PM with the cashier. Then I pickup the extended warranty plan brochure and ask the cashier if it's this difficult to obtain warranty through their extended warranty plan too (not too loudly, but loud enough for others in line to hear); two can play this game. Potential extended warranty sales disappears for the next few customers in line. One manager once lost it and took the brochure from my hand and placed it back on the stack and authorized the PM immediately.


BB Excuse: Umhhh

Answer: Please honor your lowest price guarantee policy.


BTW: Don't get rude about the whole thing, as this doesn't help the PM situation. Be a persistant customer, not a rude &*(&(*^! Please do not play the "race card" with regards to the management at BB, as myself and other RFDers has ran into managers from assorted races that try to denie PM (BB, BB & Staples included). If you're a real jerk, they can actually have security to remove you from their premises; just be polite and keep you cool (you'll get to stay).


Have Fun PMing!

Also, don't forget all the other Kingston products that BB & NCIX sells. Just confirm the MFG Part # on both the BB & NCIX before attempting to PM. A successful PM each time if you do your homework first!

^quoted for emphasis.

i think more RFDers on here need to follow ^that, cuz i read too many stories of "PM failures" as opposed to "PM success"

Wow Z,
I wish you were there when I was trying to PM a PS3 blu-ray remote at FS from Superstore for $15. The manager simply said to me, "Yes, I am not following my policy because this does not even make any business sense!"
He was arguing the price of the remote was well below his cost.

[mistr_e]

I was denied a PM against Dell once because they said Dell didn't offer 1-2 day shipping on the item. Do you think they'll use that again? NCIX does offer 1-2 day shipping but it's $10, bringing the PM price to $21.40.
