This product has been posted a couple times before on FatWallet at higher prices and were ranked as "hot" every single time. This is by far the cheapest I have seen this item posted at FatWallet, so I hope no one sees this thread as spamI certainly don't see it as spam, and I would have even considered it a great deal, except for the $109.99 blow-out Dell had on this very same drive just a few days ago. True, the final fallout from that deal--in which Dell rec'd an avalanche of orders until they pulled the listing on Sunday--is yet to be known. Some people had their drives shipped yesterday, others have gotten cancellation notices, most orders are scheduled for shipping today.

damn it! I just order this from ZZF last week for $150. Anyone know if they price match?

i got this when it was $10 more =( any chance they will pricematch?

2 TB drives are scheduled for next year.

I had placed an order yday, talked to Customer service and they said cancel the order and place again to get the lower price as the order is in processing status, so did just that.

In for one! Thank you!!

The coupon was proably incorrectly applied to this drive. At the order screen, it stated it was for cameras. So except for the incorrect price at Dell, this is great deal. I did order with Dell, have to wait to see if those ship first.Definitely the correct perception, given that Dell sent out waves of order cancellations today.

Rats. Still, not a bad deal originally - now it's smokin'

I complained, got nowhere. They won't budge on the price drops. I was pretty disappointed.

I did as well.

Not gonna lie, I'm pretty ticked about it.
Dear Customer,

Thank you for contacting ZipZoomfly.com!

We regret to inform you that our company does not offer price matching or price adjustments.

Due to market volatility, prices are subject to change quite frequently. As a result, our company will update our prices in accordance to the market value. We do apologize for this and if you have any further questions, feel free to email us back or contact us by phone at 510.897.1890.

Sincerely,

My response:

Hello,

I understand market volatility and drastically fluctuating prices over time. I understand price changes over a few months, even 30 days. This is an issue of 5 days and an item that has not yet even been received. I assumed customer satisfaction was important to ZipZoomfly, and in my many years of purchases (which started when the company was named GoogleGear) that had appeared evident.

I'm sorry to see that this is no longer the case. "http://www.ZipZoomfly.com/jsp/Service/PriceAdjust.jsp" cites "confidence in competitiveness of prices" as the reason for a lack of price matching. It would seem that "market volatility" contradicts that.

Your loyal customer,
