zip drive & 3pk disk @ Staples bm $75 or less

Staples.com deal is you get zip drive for $75 and you get zip disks for free.

But the coupon code stinks and doesn't work. It takes off $25 if total is high enough. That's because original ad (from print ad) is suppose to be buy zip drive ($100) and disks ($43) and save $25 on purchase of both.

If you have Staples brick & mortar, printout the .com page and ask them to honor it. Since both zip drive & disks are greater than $100, you may be able to save additional $20 off $100 (making total $55). If not, at least you could save $10 off $40 (making total $65).

You can do this online, but you would have to call them on it...which means they may fix the error.

fixed

No one interested? Here is what I got:
+$75 zip drive
+$43 3pk zip disks
+$30 MS map software
-$10 pm MS map software to store sale price
-$20 off $100 coupon
-$43 free zip disks
------------------
$75 paid
-$20 Map rebate
------------------
$55 for zip drive, 3pk zip disk and map software.

Staples has since fixed the error somewhat. Zip drive is still cheaper online at $75. Add 3pk software for $43. Apply coupon code for $25 off the deal. Final cost around $93. Guess you could subtract $20 off $100 if you are lucky and end up paying $73 for the zip drive and 3pk zip disk.

deal dead

The deal is dead now. It may still work, but the site states the coupon expires 3/17 (yesterday).

But the original deal, which had the error mentioned was for free zip disk and the drive was marked $75. Then they finally fixed it, but the zip was/is still $75.

Let this thread die, the coupon expired.

Upgrade to 250mb usb external zip drive for around $30, less than this deal. [Only registered and activated users can see links. Either login above or Register Now]
