You can check www.newegg.com to see if they are offering any UPSs with reduced shipping charges. If you don't find anything useful there you can always check your Sunday ads. Last week CompUSA had an APC 1500 VA UPS for $149.99 with a $50 MIR. Final cost would be $99.99 plus the tax on $149.99 and the stamp for the rebate submission. This particular rebate went to Miami, Florida so the chances of getting it in a reasonable period of time were fairly good. CompUSA has been advertising this particular UPS fairly frequently so this same or better deal may come up again in the near future. -- callsignviper The truth is out there. You just have to look in the right places and ask the right questions. |

I like a dufus picked up the wrong one and then later returned it and they didnt have any of the free ones then of course. I did that with a Radeon too - DUHHHH. It was a really low end one but Ive never seen a free deal since then. Office Max also had a few deals on UPSes the last few months. Wait for the upcoming Halloween sale. They often save up for the BIGGIEs on a holiday though thats not always true. They go through these periods where they seem to back off the rebates for a while and offer really mediocre sales for weeks and even months - almsot all stores , in unison. Then start up again. They did that the last few months and I was convinced they would start up again with some Holidays coming up but they were also mediocre. With Halloween, Thanksgiving and then Christmas - theres got to be SOME killer deals coming up though. The usual free after rebate deals on UPSs are usually for UPSs in the 325VA to 500VA range. Last week CompUSA had a "free" 325VA APC with the purchase of an APC surge protector. I passed because it involved 2 separate rebates. IIRC one went to that (non)fulfillment company in New Rochelle, New York (TCA). That was the main reason I passed. I doubt this 1500VA APC UPS will ever be "free" after rebate. It would be nice though and I would fight for that rebate if I had to. I agree that the upcoming major selling season(s) should/may bring some great deals on UPSs as well as other items. Maybe even a DVD writer for around $50.......who knows as only time will tell. -- callsignviper The truth is out there. You just have to look in the right places and ask the right questions. |
