$29.99 -25 mail in rebate ======== $4.99 after rebate $3 tax added on because paying about 10% tax on $30 = $3 ====== $8 approximate price for 8 GB Flash Drive by Patriot
As a comparison, the 8GB flash drives of various brands normally sell for about $15 at the cheapest price levels, so a decent deal if you don't mind the MIR hassle.

Did not forget. I made no mention as to shipping one way or the other. Sounds like a personal problem to me. It goes without saying that most items when shipped would add a shipping charge.
If you are ordering other items, you can throw this one in. If you pick up in store, there is no shipping, only tax.

Since you are posting the deal then you should mention. Fry's does offer free shipping on some items. So it is a factor for a good majority of people on this site, esp those who don't live in CA or TX which is a good portion of the populace.
It may help some to know that "In Store pick-up" is really just an inventory feature. You cannot have an item on the fry's site shipped to a particular store location for your convenience.
Even if there isn't a store near you, sales tax is applied to orders shipped to (and picked up in, obviously) AZ, CA, GA, IN, IL, OH, TN, TX , NV, and WA.

Once again, even though the product page at Frys.com says it is $25 rebate for a purchase price of $5, the actual PDF linked from that page plainly says the rebates for all products listed is $5 without this special condition of the ones purchased between 11/6 to 11/30. (the form says 10/30 to 11/30)
So if there is a different rebate, Frys screwed up but there is this page from Patriot where you can try to request one: (could not find it obviously)

adding "PLUS SHIPPING" the title is not a personal problem. It is good posting, accurate policy.
And, reading the rebate form to verify the terms first avoids misinformation.
I think it's a mistake by Frys. Called Patriot and was told the rebate is only $5.00. Called Frys but got disconnected. The page for the flash drive is gone. I will return the product.

I posted this deal early Friday on SD and got reamed...had to ask mods to remove the thread!!
One thing to note on Fry's rebates. The dates they post (e.g. 11/6 - 11/30) are not always what the rebate shows. In this case, 11/6 is the day Fry's added the rebate to their site/database, even though the rebate started 11/1 - this is because their sales run Friday-Thursday. This happens a lot! Other sites are guilty of this practice too (TD for one).
