guilliam

How nice of them (insert sarcasm here) Nothing better than a 'canned' response when you're already upset with them...

I would also be calling the DSM. We don't have a local Target so I don't shop there much, but I had a really good experience with an employee going above and beyond to help us find a Wii last year, and I called the DSM to let them know what a good employee he was. So I would definitely let them know too if I was treated poorly by an employee or 2!

We have a Skill Stop Pulsar slot machine similiar to this one http://cgi.ebay.com/GREEN-KING-PULSAR-SKILL-STOP-Token-SLOT-MACHINE_W0QQitemZ190226534764QQihZ009QQcategoryZ3948QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1638Q2em118Q2el1247 We have had it for about 3 years or so and have never had any problems with it. They (dh & kids) LOVE it! And the price on ebay seems like a good deal to me even with shipping cause we paid about $350 for ours.

That video cracks me up! My ds17 bought the ds bundle yesterday when it came out and hasn't put it down yet LOL

I'm sooo excited! I got 2 of the Apple MM for $0.69 today!!! First time ever!!

I like the one you got too, but we think ds will get more use out of the glider on the 1st one than the stand up swing thingy on that one. But we may end up with the one you bought, since our local Walmart has it in stock for $199 and although the one I want is only $179, shipping is $89 !! Don't know if I can talk dh into that Guess I don't need to worry about it, it sold out before I got home from work!!! UGGGG!!!!!

yeah, walmart emailed me overnight saying it is back in stock. thanks!

I have been looking for the Amusement Park II swing set made by Flexible Flyer but can't seem to find it anywhere. It is listed on Walmart.com but it is sold out. States available in limited stores and after calling the 10 closest stores I callled 1800walmart hoping they could help and was told it is an online only thing Tried all day to call Flexible Flyer to see if they could help and got a busy signal ALL DAY (I tried calling at LEAST 20 times today) they must take the phoe off the hook or else they get a TON of calls every day Anyway, any ideas? I just know my son would love this swing set. They have a similiar one on walmart.com but it is missing the glider swing that we know he would love. Here it is on walmart: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=7942501

Sam's has coupons???? WHERE do I get them? I didn't think they even accepted coupons?

Big Lots had it too.

Ok, since so many are talking about printers, I'm going to tell you about the new one I got for Mother's Day because we also have a graveyard of printers LOL! http://www.samsclub.com/shopping/navigate.do?dest=5&item=379025&pCatg=5697 It's a Kodak all in one and the ink cartridges are $9.99 for black and $14.99 for color, full sized! They are actually cheaper at Sam's Club. Anyway, the SAME printer is $88.24 at Sam's CLub (special buy) but $148.88 at Walmart! http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=7696280 I LOVE IT!! Just thought I'd share with all the talk of printers!

Received the replacement today. DS17 says it is the same one but I haven't had a chance to look at it. But so far so good

Well the replacement FINALLY shipped on Monday. So now to wait and see if it is the same computer.

I'm starting to wonder now if they are just putting it off until my return period is over. It was supposed to ship by 5/16 and it hasn't yet.

Well, as of today, the replacement still has not shipped! Grrrr!!!

Well, I checked on the status of the replacment, and it does not show all of the items that are in the original laptop. So I emailed the guy in Canada that I spoke with and asked him about it. He just emailed me back stating he is not able to tell if these itmes are in the replacement or not, but if they are not once we receive it, to call them ASAP. GRRRRR!!! I knew this wasn't going to be that easy!!! Why not just check it before they ship it?!?!

My dad has a TomTom and Loves it. So I wanted one. I just bought the TomTom on tigerdirect.com for $109.99 (refurbished) ($114.99 was total) It arrived Friday and I LOVE it. It was very easy to set up and seems to work great! You can do a test drive on it, so I put in my parents address and it showed me the whole route!

Our local daycare is $68 a week for school aged kids during the summer. Last summer we paid ds17 $50 a week to watch his little brother. Of course, he thought he was getting ripped off LOL but we told him he either did that, or got a real summer job (he wanted $$ to buy something)So he did it. The way I see it, what other job would he get where he got to be at home playing his video games and using the computer all day? Plus, it ended up costing us the same because daycare would have provided ds5's lunch, with ds17 watching him, we had to buy food for their lunch. So it's not like we saved any $$

I agree!! All the other people I had talked to were in the Philipines, but as soon as I got lucky to get a person in Canada, no problems!! He even told me he didn't know why they were giving me such trouble, the system was only 2 days old!! I thanked him and told him it was nice to talk to a polite person at Dell for once!! But we'll see once it arrives (I'm still skeptical LOL) We have a Dell desktop we bought a few years ago and we have not had any problems with it (knock on wood) but I knew better after the deal with the sale being cancelled a day early and them not caring if they lost a customer. But ds17 insisted on a Dell and I gave in I really just wanted to get him what would make him happy

I called again today. First person I spoke with told me sorry, we can't do anything for you. WHAT!?!?!? So I asked for her supervisor. She put me on hold to get them then came back and said the supervisor told her to tell me to call 1-800-xxx-xxxx. It was the same # I called them at!! Then she hung up on me. So I called back. Was transfered 3 times before hanging up and trying a 3rd time. This time when they answered I refused to answer any questions until I spoke with a supervisor. They got one right away. After he reviewed my case he said he agreed with me 100% and would be sending out a new laptop asap with a prepaid lable to send the old one back. This was a call center in Ontario Canada, all the others were in the Phillipines. But they gave me their direct extension in case I have any other problems. I received an email confirmation for the exchange saying it was being built. So we'll see.....

Hope this doesn't end up too long, but here it goes: Ds17 decided he wanted a Dell laptop for graduation. So when dh got his new job, we decided to let him pick one out (ended up being grauation/18th bday gift becuase of price LOL) Anyway, Dell was having a GREAT sale on one that stated good through 4/24. Then it stated if you used a Dell cc you would save an extra 4%. So on 4/23 I applied for the card and was approved. But it wouldn't give me the extra 4% off so I contacted live chat. They said they didn't know anything about it and it was late (almost midnight) so I decided to wait until I got home from work the next day so I could call and speak to someone. So the next day (4/24) I get home and pull up the computer before calling and the sale is gone! So I call and they say the sale ended 4/23, but I printed out where it stated good through 4/24 But they said too bad, they reserve the right to end a sale blah blah blah... So I emailed every Dell executive I could find an email for (AFTER speaking to SEVERAL supervisors to no avail for HOURS) and filed a BBB complaint. All of which got me no where so I told ds17 NO DELL. Look for a Gateway or any other. But he insisted on the Dell so I gave in and on 4/29 placed an order for another one on sale. Fast forward to 5/6, the laptop arrives and ds17 is excited. So we went ahead and let him have it that night. It was late so basically he only got to open it and look it over, turn it on, but not do anything with it. So the next day he gets home from school and turns it on and it is acting funny at first but starts working ok. Then on 5/8, it quits working completely. So he calls tech support and they say it is a bad hard drive and want to mail him a new hard drive for him to put in. I say NO WAY! I paid extra for at home service and an extended warranty etc. but they have no techs in our small town area. So I tell them then they need to send us a replacement laptop, brand new not refurbished just like the original. Well, after 3 hours on the phone we were told no, the only thing they could do was send us a new hard drive or we could return the laptop for a refund. They said then you can reorder it, but I told them no, I can't because it was a one day special sale that we bought and it would cost a lot more now for the same laptop. Was basically told too bad. I am sooooo mad right now!! I spent $1300 on a laptop that after 2 days does not work and now they want us to fix it ourselves when we paid for the extra warranty!! And we don't have a land line phone so every time I call, it uses my cell minutes up! So I'm off to my mom's later to use their phone to call some more. GRRRRR!!! Sorry so long, just needed to vent!!

I got my Littman from www.allheart.com a few years ago. At the time, they were the cheapest I found.

Voted! Good Luck!

I have purchased once from them. Everything was ok, I just made sure to pay with paypal for protection

LOL, we do need it to hold in ear plugs because of tubes in the ears :) We live in a very small town and we actually have to drive about an hour away to see his ent because there aren't any locally (there is one that comes to town once a week but only early in the mornings from like 9am-noon and it would cause me to have to miss too much work to take him there) But I don't have time this week to make the trip.
