mal Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 No free shipping if you use google checkout Mal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 No free shipping if you use google checkout MalReally? That is the first I have heard of that. Are you sure you picked the proper shipping? I think that by default, Buy.com picks an expedited shipping method. You have to manually change it to free shipping if you want to take advantage of that. Edit: Confirmed. You have to choose "Budget" (7-9 Days) shipping at the time of checkout for the free shipping. The default shipping is "Standard" at 3-5 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmattison Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 I ordered one and was able to change the shipping default to free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mal Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Until I clicked on Google checkout it showed me free shipping, once I filled out Google credit card details, its charging me shipping? Mal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ipaq dude Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Carefull. They don't have this item in the stock. It says COMING SOON they are not even sure when they are getting this item.I am waiting for this item since Nov. 29. I talked to customer service, they are not sure when they are getting this item. Only solution they suggest to cancel the order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mh1973 Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 if it's not a christmas gift I guess this is a great deal!! Does this work the same as an sd card? I have a 1gb sd card for my digital camera and when it gets full I transfer my pictures to cd, so would I be able to hold more pictures on this memory flash drive than on my sd card or would it be the same?

dave auto Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 Could I prevail upon anyone out there to post a link to the original rebate forms for this thing? I was using a friend's computer when I ordered it, so I didn't download and keep the rebate forms. Now, when I visit this flash drive's product page on Buy.com, it only displays the $20 rebate that's still active, so I assume there's an additional $10 rebate form that I can no longer access. If anyone out there can help, I'd sure appreciate it. Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigshopper Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 I bought two of the ACP-EP drives the other day. One SnowDrive and one SurfDrive, their 2 GB drives that were free AR. The SnowDrive did not work when I got it, so I called ther customer support and talked to a guy there who was very polite. He said it sounded like the partition had become corrupted somehow. He gave me a merchandise return number and said ship it back and they would replace it for me. Within 48 hours I received my replacement drive by 2nd day express delivery. Now that is what I call customer service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdhomeowner Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 Re: rebate forms It seems I'm prevented from providing the direct links to the forms... So, put an http colon whack whack in front of ak.buy.com, then add: for the $20 form: /buy_assets/retail/pdfs/06Q4/1211-1217ml_new20acp.pdf for the $10 form: /buy_assets/retail/pdfs/06Q4/1211-1213ml_new10acp.pdf Alternately, look up your order on buy dot com, then view the receipt. The receipt has direct links to these same files. jd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmorourke Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 I see the rebate asks for an invoice/receipt showing the date of purchase. The invoices that came with my two drives did not give a purchase date, only a ship date. Anyone else notice this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdhomeowner Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 Re: invoice purchase date The invoice indicates the ship date, but the buy dot com generated receipt (described above as an alternate way to get the links to the rebate forms) clearly indicates on the third line the actual purchase date. This puzzle is tricky, but it's worth the $30. jd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
