  1. It comes in a box. It will show the four power tools on the package. It does have some weight to the box, just to let you know. Lowe's pick up from store option was VERY efficient, so your mom should have no problems.
  2. That is weird. I just noticed that. More than likely, the regular controllers she is holding control the upper body while the mat controls the lower body.
  3. Below the Wii emblem on the package, it shows the "controller". It is, in fact, the mat that you dance on. For $35, this seems like a good deal for someone interested in this sort of thing.
  4. For 39 dollars, I don't care if they fall apart after a year. It would STILL be a good deal. And peppysfireball, Skil is owned and manufactured by Bosch. I know because I contacted Skil about a tool I already own.
  5. Actually, I feel the exact opposite. I have only one child (a two year old son) and I have been feeling that I haven't bought enough for the little tike. I've been trying to find a couple more gifts for him, but his age group is a hindrance, IMO. All the toys I see for his age group are baby in nature (again, IMO). My wife says I'm paranoid but I still feel like a scrooge! I am also one of us that have not used one credit card for gifts this year; I feel SOOOOO good about that!
  6. I went to Lowes today to see if their Christmas stuff was on clearance. Well, it was 50% off! This is includes indoor/outdoor, trees, lights, all sorts of stuff. The only thing it did not include was the Christmas storage things. My particular store was pretty well picked through, though.
  7. Another thing that I have noticed about TRU is that their shipping is SO EXPENSIVE! A couple of weeks ago I bought $23 worth of toys with shipping being $15! Holy Smokes!! That's 65% of the original price of the product I bought!
  8. I just ordered one online with the store pickup. I had a problem with my printer. It took about ten minutes for me to fix my printer's issues. Lowe's had already called me confirming that they had fulfilled the order and it was ready for pick-up.An awesome set for an awesome price. According to the sales clerk I was talking to about replacement batteries for this set, he stated that "the battery is supposed to go on sale to 20 bucks tomorrow, the 17th". I don't know if its true, but if it is, then I'm going to get that too!
  9. Oh, thank you! I've been without a fleece for two years now (I'm a big guy; can't usually find my size).
  10. With shipping ($4.95) and handling($3.00), it brings the cost up to $27.45. Ouch! Little too much for my price range but seems like a good deal.
  11. A couple of months ago, BB did this deal but with a Bluray surround sound system. I got the 40" W series. I absolutely love the items. I put the surround sound in my living room and the LCD in the bedroom. The W series is better than my 46" LCD in the living room! I would have waited for this, however, I already have two PS3's.
  12. Conj....you're from New England too, right? I think it takes FOREVER for anyone (except Amazon) to ship up here. Wal-mart's a joke when it comes to shipping. Forget Kmart, they can't even bother to update their computers to say "we are shipping". Of all the merchants I have purchased online from, Amazon is THE QUICKEST! My worst shipping experience this year goes to Kmart. Ordered two sheet sets waited a week for me to get any info about the shipping. When they finally updated my order status, it said "shipping today", yet UPS already had it for three days and was delivering today. Last year I never used Amazon, but this year for online purchases, they are the top dog.
  13. I learned the hard way about BB in store pickup. If I order online from them, I pay the extra to have it shipped to my home. I ordered a micro SD card and it took three days to get the confirmation that I could pick it up in store. Then when I got there it took two people to find my order (having to go as far as taking it from floor stock. However, I got $10 off because it took over their time limit to get my order to me.
  14. I love Amazon. I ordered movies from them 11/26 and had the package on my doorstep on 11/30. That's how it should be. The package was to me before USPS had time to update their website. I definitely recommend them (as long as you are buying from Amazon themselves).
  15. I just know now that Kmart.com is as bad as Circuit City, Sears (huh, how convenient, the same company basically), and a few others are. If they don't straighten up there act, they are going to go the way of the dodo bird; extinct. I will never step foot or order again from these stores.
  16. On a better note, the incompetence of Kmart shines through again. I tried to cancel the order. The CSR stated that they will try but because of their automated system that supposedly makes things faster and more convenient. HA! Well, long story short, I got an email today that states the order shipped today, December 3rd. However, according to UPS, the package was shipped November 30th and is to be delivered today. Why did it take soo long to get the shipped e-mail if it was already shipped. Even CS had no idea that the package had shipped. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy I'll get my stuff, but WOW. This, to me, shows incompetence. Then I wake up and see all this information. So my best advice is to consider that your package MAY have already shipped but CS has NO IDEA it has.
  17. I have to vent before I explode. Ordered two sheet sets from Kmart on BF. Waited till Tuesday to check to see how the order is doing. Still no shipping info yet their estimated date of arrival to me is December 4th! What there is NO way they are making that. So I e-mail Kmart to check the status. They stated that it takes 1-2 business days to process and that ETA is Wednesday, 12/3. Umm, I'm not a rocket scientist but I know my dates, THURSDAY is the 3rd. I e-mail them back explaining that they have completely messed up the dates. Then I call; I get the rudest lady I have dealt with in a while. Asked if that date is their warehouse delivery date or arrival to my door. She states that is to my door. I go" So you must be shipping it next day air". She laughs and says No it takes 7-10 business days to get to me. WHAT! I told her to cancel the order, I BETTER get an e-mail confirmation of the cancellation and now I understand why Kmart and Sears are a hair from closing down. ARGHHHHHHHH! I posted this on another sub-forum about the issues I have had with K-mart.
  18. @ bpr .....if you're employer or mates' employer pulled this sort of thing with your/their payroll check, would you be upset? On a better note, the incompetence of Kmart shines through again. I tried to cancel the order. The CSR stated that they will try but because of their automated system that supposedly makes things faster and more convenient. HA! Well, long story short, I got an email today that states the order shipped today, December 3rd. However, according to UPS, the package was shipped November 30th and is to be delivered today.

This, to me, shows incompetence.
  19. WOW that's awesome. I wish I could have got that deal.
  20. I am too waiting for the four DVDs I ordered. I know that BB ships little things "Mail Express". If you click the tracking number on the shipping confirmation, it sends you to Mail Express' website and tracks the package. Since November 29th, my package is "enroute to the Destination Processing Center" from Hebron, KY. I am starting to worry if I'll ever see my package from them.
  21. I'm laughing so hard my son is looking at me strange and I'm crying!

  23. Funny to see this b/c I called TRU about a phantom $9.99 charge on my account. "Nancy" stated that the first charge is actually a hold on the account. The real charges will be applied to the account later and the hold will disappear. This morning, I checked my account again and the $9.99 charge was still there but the $38.78 charge was changed to the correct amount.
  24. You could buy the items you want online. However, shipping costs are OUTRAGEOUS! Case in point, I purchased two items online that totaled $23.78. My shipping was $15.00!! That's 63% of the price of the items!! Funny though, they are the first items I received.
  25. Epping is the same way with those Magnavox BD players. They must have had 200-300 left! I visited HD on Sunday and they had a ton of the 60pc Rayovac batteries left. I bought them and the 6 pack of the LED flashlights, while my wife was buying our Wii. The only thing I did not get on my list is the 25pc screwdriver set from Home Depot.
