So just take a guess how much it is to ship the above memory to Anchorage, Alaska?
I'll give you a hint.
It weighs 0.5 pounds.

Give up?
$41.83!

That's some HEAVY memory!

What do they pack it with?

Lead peanuts?

I was looking at that earlier. I get emails from them. That is a good price.

Amazing how much memory prices have come down. The first memory chip I ever bought cost $2000 for a 4 meg chip (static ram).

You do know that 60% of rebates are not honored, right? That's some crazy shipping. Are you sure that they're not compensating for the price?

Hmm. Maybe I've just had good luck. I've only had 2 not honored. One was because I exchanged it and the upc code was showing returned, so they cancelled it (staples), and the other was because it was a floor demo (circuit city). In both cases, I spoke with the manager at the store and got store creit from Staples and cash in hand from Circuit City. I usually buy about 5 rebate items a month, sometimes more depening on how much side work I have.

I'm not doubting you percentage. I do know that a lot of people just don't send them in. You think that is figured into the percentage too?

I gave Best Buy the benifit of the doubt on 2 diferent purchases.

That's because they ship it 2nd day air. If you want it, have it shipped to me (ground to Reno is $6.99) and I'll repack it and send it to you 1st class mail. I think the postage for 8 oz is about $2. The post office is across the street from a grocery store I use, so it wouldn't be any trouble.

You could have your memory for about $10 total shipping

That right there is very kind.
People sure do freak me out sometimes!

Thanks for the offer, but I need to get some other things done with that money.

Thanx again!
