elena_398 Posted November 24, 2004 Posted November 24, 2004 This will be my first time lining up at Office Max (instead of a toy store). I know computer items etc are super popular and I saw a lot of voters for the poll on where you are going first...My questions is what time do I line up? I would like to be at Least in the first 5. Im praying it opens up earlier than 7, but if not, 2am too late or try at 1am? I need about 4 things (#1 thing is as many 50 packs of DVD+R for $7.99 as I can get!!). Im sure that will be a popular item as no rebates. This 7am opening is going to screw up my other store shopping, but hubby really wants those DVD+Rs!! Also, I scoped out where the aisle is where the blank discs are kept. Do they keep them on the regular shelves or do they put in aisles like some stores? Thanks for any insight.
motoXmom Posted November 24, 2004 Posted November 24, 2004 elena is there any way to get those online? I think last year they had special bins with the BF smaller sale items in and they had them on some end caps of different aisles.
Rebirth Posted November 24, 2004 Posted November 24, 2004 Last year, there was like 10 people in the store when they opened. Most of the people were at Best Buy and some were at Target.
elena_398 Posted November 24, 2004 Author Posted November 24, 2004 Then even 2am is too early? I literally live 5 minutes if that from Office max. Out my development, Down to main road, turn left, 2 blocks walgreens, kmart, and Office Max! I called Office Max and they open at 7am. Just wanted to verify. Shoot. By standing in line there till 7 Im going to miss my 6am sales! SHOOT!!
afobisme Posted November 25, 2004 Posted November 25, 2004 i wonder what time officemax opens? a lot of goodies for me at officemax this year. im gonna be hitting that store first, then to fry's (which is nearby)
teresa92 Posted November 25, 2004 Posted November 25, 2004 The ad says "All stores open 7am Friday!" elena- The DVD+R's are $7.99 AFTER REBATE Ad says "$49.99 - $27 instant rebate - $6 mfr's mail-in rebate - $9 OfficeMax mail-in rebate =$7.99"
pighead Posted November 25, 2004 Posted November 25, 2004 what time is everyone going to get in line at officemax?
elena_398 Posted November 25, 2004 Author Posted November 25, 2004 I think I may skip it then.....When the Office Max first came up it didn't say anything about a rebate. Figures. Im the kind of person with the finances of need the deal upfront and can't wait 4-6 weeks! Is that for the DVD+R or -R? I need the +Rs to burn movies or it that for either one?
teresa92 Posted November 25, 2004 Posted November 25, 2004 It's your choice of +R or -R. I had a HORRIBLE experience with Office Max & their rebates last year. They didn't have the right rebate forms at the store so the mgr. just re-rang my order & deducted the MIR there at the store. So I got the items immediately for free. Or so I thought. They actually billed my credit card TWICE and it took them three months and dozens of phone calls (I was visiting out of state) to straighten it out. I swore I would NEVER again buy anything from OfficeMax that requires a rebate. Best Buy has a 50 pk of DVD+R's for only $2.99 AR, but I don't know what the upfront cost is.
