  1. Fedex too now have a partnership with the USPS (called Smartpost). It is a cost saving deal that makes use of the fact that USPS delivers daily in residential areas. It is popular with shippers and carriers but not necessarily so with the poor recipient. Think before you go with the free shipping deals, USPS will be the way shippers make it affordable to them.
  2. During a recent visit to RS I overheard the clerk telling a customer that they had been recalled because of scratched screens caused by the packaging.
  3. Thank you Brad and all the Moderators. None of this would have been possible without you all. And thank you everyone who posted deals, comments, advice and help. You all make this a great site..year round.
  4. The link is a mile long and includes my e-mail address. this seems to work

  6. I just got an e-mail showing the cyber Monday deals.

    TV's Polaroid

    I bought th 32" LCD because it had lots of good features. It was really worth the money...until it broke down. If you get one, pray that it never breaks down.
  10. I have never tried to disable it, but if you do not set it up when you first register the phone then you will not get voicemails.
  11. that could be describing me...... Try local auctions, I got a great one for $5
  12. THIS ITEM IS NOT AVAILABLE AT YOUR LOCATION - I guess online is not an option now.
  13. They used to come with printer leads!! So now they are leaving out the INK?? I guess I had better lay in a supply of power cords..... Is there anything else they can take out?
  14. I too bought the Canon IP3000. A good printer for my requirements and ink is reasonably cheap too. I buy mine through Printpal. Check previous threads for other good deals on ink.
  15. That is very sound advice. I bought my last 2 printers based on the running costs of ink. For a cheap printer http://www.buy.com/prod/Lexmark_Z611_Color_Inkjet_Printer_14ppm/q/loc/101/201691692.html. At that price you get a general all round printer. When the ink runs out - look for another printer deal.
  16. hopefully no kids can buy this. "Scare the crap out of your parents" would become the new sport. There could be some early inheritances...
  17. some people are just born lucky...........I had to find GottaDeal
  18. I have used skyauction.com to get a good deal but it relies on no one pushing the price up too much. Otherwise Travelocity.com has produced all of my other good deals. It helps to be flexible on your travel dates and planing to fly on Wednesdays is cheaper than Fridays or Mondays. I also look at flying to another destination and then at the offers from there to my preferred destination. For example flying into Schipol (Amsterdam) and then either getting a local flight or renting a car could be cheaper than flying to Frankfurt. We travel to Frankfurt via London Heathrow but that is because I have family in England.
  19. I feel very little sympathy when these large companies fail to meet their expectations. They manage to make a greater % profit each year than most of us see in our pay checks. Year on year they expect to make a higher profit than last year despite the state of the economy. Thank you for letting me vent, I spent a year unemployed so that one of them could reach it's target. Maybe I am just a tad biased. :-D
