Smart Buy Starter Kit Belkin 7OUT Surge/LAN Cable/USB Printer Cable - $12.16 @ ProVantage

$20 Rebate

The rebate allows up to 5. With shipping on a quantity of 5, it came out to about $85. You can order this from anywhere, but ProV had the lowest price. Plus, they have very good ratings. The rebate also allows you to get other products, but this seemed the best I could find. Feel free to post more.

Get connected with everything you need in one kit -- surge protector, local area network (LAN) cable and USB printer cable.

Ground shipping to IN is $22.85. Will end up making $16.35. Thanks BornAgainStar!

thank you! Shipping for me was like 28.00 to California, but hey! I'm still ahead...

[dewolfxy]

$34.90 shipping to PA?!?!?!

Still a nice deal. But since I'm only making $5 on it, I think I'll pass since I don't need the surge protectors or cables.

$56 to Northern CA! Kind of kills it for me - thanks for the find.

ditto for me in FL

Just change the quantity to 4 and shipping will go down by about $15.00. It is only $19.35, if you order 4, so you can make about $12.00 on 4.

I just ordered 4 and the total is about $67.99. Following is the breakdown

Subtotal: 48.64
Shipping: 19.35
Total Order: $ 67.99


Not many quantities left so be quick...

Enjoy

Weird...

Three incurs an S&H charge of $19.45.
Four incurs a charge of $23.45.
Five incurs a charge of $56.10.

WTH?

Either way, I'm in for four!

[IamAddicted]

Thanks sidanj. 4 works for me

[wurlybird9]

A hint to those who might find a better price (as the rebate is not exclusive to Provantage)

The description is rather long, just search for the part number:
RT174AT

I got better results that way. Still didn't turn up anything better, yet.....

Those figures will vary by state, but yeah, 4 is a big step down from 5; perhaps since 5 has become a popular order amount, their system jacks up shipping costs....

I do remember noting strange shipping phenomenon with companies like Provantage, bit I forgot. Thanks for the quantity experiment, sidanj!

hmm, is that rebate 5 total things or 5 per item? I just bought some RAM that uses the same form

Wondering the same thing; however, the rebate states:

Offer valid on purchases made between August 1, 2007 and October 31, 2007

[sidanj]

I don't know if their counter is right, when I was ordering, it said there is 44 left, and I see in the three there are 8 more were ordered after I had ordered still says, 39 left. Weired !!!

[slowdive21]

Where is the rebate form from? It is not listed on the HP website. Was this ripped from another board?

Good point; the other form was through 7/31. Guess I'm good :-) (Got 2 sticks of ram and now 4 of these)

Same here!

I looked over at a major distributor site and found "desktop refurbished" available with a 30 day warranty. Is Proadvantage shipping "new" kits or not?

[turbunator123]

is it deal. Now it is showing $20.37.

[garsh]

$34.90 shipping to PA?!?!?!

That's strange. It only showed $22.85 for me. They must have started raising shipping prices based on popularity.

Not ripped from another board. I got the rebate form from another retailer, but you can verify it here at TechDepot.

[zarraza]

where's the rebate form?
i found another site that looks promising

but i wanna read the particulars first.

i found them for $73.85 for 5 shipped ($26+ profit sounds good to me)

***EDIT*** read the form, it does mention on the bottom that they must be purchased from an authorized HP reseller
resellers can be found here

the company i found doesn't look to be an authorized reseller
the hunt continues

Yep, the Provantage price is now higher than originally noted in the OP

[unsmart3d]

Check your inbox...

We're sorry, but although your order was in stock at the time it was placed, it is now out of stock and cannot be shipped at this time. We regret any inconvenience. The estimated ship date is 8/21/07.

They showed me $22.85 when I ordered, but charged me $34.90.

[wmspringer]

I got the out of stock email as well.

[ungsunghero]

My order hasn't been changed, and I haven't received an OOS email yet.

I think I'm going to print out a copy of my invoice, in case Provantage tries anything fishy.

[wurlybird9]

Claims must be postmarked within 30 days of invoice date,

Hope it comes in time....

[Monga]

what are you guys using for barcodes? The stuff comes in a box, and then in 3 different pouches (envelopes) everything is barcoded...

[Monga]

Has anyone sent in for this rebate? What UPCs are you using?
