    Help protest Office Depot

    in 2005

    Posted

    Actually, as opposed to previous years, they were the only company to issue C&D letters ... Even BB who has ALWAYS sent out C&D letters let it slide last year ...

     

    I'm betting that next year, no-one is going to send out C&D letters ...

     

    I suspect that OD only did it cos they didn't have the doorbuster prices ... afterall, everyone was complaining about the cheapest (BTO) laptop costing more (shipping NOT included) ... the advertisied Toshiba (which is identical to the BB model, expect I believe XP Pro rather than Home) was $499AR as opposed to $379 no rebate.

     

    If you want to really PO officeDepot ... order the doorbusters online and then return the items ... When asked why? tell them that you "changed your mind do their pre-BF behavior toward BF forums" ... that way

    a) They sell a tonne of stuff at minimal profit.

    B) Pay UPS/Fedex/Whoever a bunch of money for shipping (two lots).

    c) Your reason will be documented on their computers.

    d) They will have a LARGE number of computers etc that will have to be sold in clearance, as open box items... which you could then buy even cheaper :-D

     

    Suggestions for this include: the 19"LCD, non-BTO notebooks, Garmin GPS, PDa's, etc ...

     

    THAT will have a bigger hit on the bottom line, than avoiding the store. And hopefully, it will get senior managements notice.

     

    Just remember to a) use a creditcard :-) and B) return within 2 weeks :-D so you don't get billed by your creditcard :-)

    Just to let you know if you call in to return a laptop they will more than likely not take it, and if they do they can't put in the reason that you'd like it to be into thier computers. The only reason to choose from is customer no longer wants/needs, customer ordered wrong item/ etc. If you do return it, it cannot be opened at all. FYI!

     

    And please...be nice to the CSR's that are answering the phone for OD..they didnt cause this problem ;)

    UGH!!! No BF ads in my Sunday papers!

    Well I was hoping for some BF ads too. I will say I'm a happy camper though. Because I got a BF worthy toy deal :g_thumpsu Target has their bullseye bounce game on sale for 19.99, I still have my target toy coupon book which had a $5 off coupon, and found one of the toys with a $5 off instant coupon, so I got a $30 toy for a whopping 10.80 with tax! I'm sooooo happy!:gd_orange

    WOW
