I've never read instructions as many times as I read rebate instructions. Its absurd. The worst was the agency Sapphire used when I got a video card from them:Michael Sandstrom wrote:Thanks for the info. I just ordered my second Solo. My first Solo carried a $40 rebate which was not honored even though I submitted every item on time and then resubmitted copies of every item online when the rebate agent said that no items had been received. Calls and emails to Antec brought no relief.
This time I am sending my rebate by registered mail!!!!
The question is when and where does it suck the most.Erssa wrote:Sometimes it sucks to live in Europe...
Your prices are cheaper then our prices. Our earnings suck in comparison and we are taxed to death. For example Jorma Ollila runs one of the biggest firms in the world. Year 2006 his income was 6,2 million euros (ranked 40th in Finland) of which he paid 50% income tax. The maximum income tax here is 60%, a totally unjustified robbery. Richest man in Finland earned 17 million last year. These numbers are pathetic compared to rest of the world. Laws in Finland are motivated by jealousy of socialists. For example 7 years ago Teemu Selänne was visiting Finland and he was in a car accident and he was fined more then 40,000 euros. If it had been me instead, I would have had to pay only 720 euros.aristide1 wrote:Tourist love our prices, but Greeks that I know who moved here from the old country complain of taxes they never seen or heard of before. They are far less impressed. We tax more heavily on the earnings side, you guys tax more heavily on the consumption side. The result is you guys comsume less, which overall is a good thing.
People here would also stare at you, because you have to pay so small taxes.When I'm in the old country I tell them I earn 3 dollars and come home with 2, they just stare at me. But then I don't have to pay any tax on the engine displacement of my car no matter what size it is.
It did go up. I posted with the new price, but thanks to whoever edited the thread subject to bring it up to date.HedgeHocker wrote:This case is, is now at least, $19.00 not $9.00 with the rebate ...has it changed before the cut off date - today??
Newegg.com right?
Then I probably got the same great deal you did. I had based some of that on assumption from someone elses comment that they Do reduce shipping costs with volume and I didn't verify it but went with logic based on final cost.Flandry wrote:I got mine today. If Antec doesn't stiff me on the rebate, it willl be $26 total. Pretty sweet!Now i just need stuff to put inside -- not arriving until Monday at the earliest.
I got the Earthwatts 380 that was on a similar deal, so i got a nice, system-ready case for less than $50.
HedgeHocker: i assumed that NewEgg shipping costs decreased with multiple items, but after playing around with all the components i needed for my system, i saw no net change in shipping costs between $800 in components and just a few. That included two cases (i was considering either) in the first scenario (neither with free shipping) and one in the second.
AFAICT, there's no combined shipping discount there...
Due to the fact that you live in Hawaii, you are not entitled to good shipping deals. Nobody should be allowed to live in paradise AND have cheap shippingpwnerx wrote:Anyone know how I can get my hands on an Antec Solo with cheap shipping to Hawaii 96817? I've looked everywhere and shipping is $40-80.
