TY 100 Pack for $25.11

Yo-

Again - what was the price shown when you got to the site? Did it happen to be $27.90?

Mike

Yo-

What was the grand total (before tax - if any) and for a quanity of - ?

Mike

no it was .30 when i got to the site, i got 400 peices.

And the grand total was..............................

why do i feel my basic mathmatic skills are being questioned? i double checked the prices, before and after and im positive i only got the CS10 discount.( i even cleared cookies to make sure)

Yo-

The reason that I am asking is that when stud monkey gave me the referral email and I clicked on the link it took me directly to a price box that was discounted 10% (though I did not know that at that time) - I bought 200 - went to the checkout - put in my code and it discounted it another 10%-

Where I got mad (and it was a fault of their software) was that at the confirmation page - it then showed ANOTHER 10% referral discount- then when I got to the final tally - after the credit card had been charged it reflected a higher price (by 10%) than the confirming page did - and that is what I got hot about (even though it turned out that they were essentially correct)-

What was confusing to me was that the referral email (that they generate at the referrers request) does not say anywhere about the discount being taken up front - and your discount should have been taken up front - if - you used the link in studmonkeys referral email - if infact you did not use that link - then you would only get the 10% off using the code - and they make sure by having you forward the referral email and their confirming email (as I had to do)-

Also - the fact remains - as demonstrated by the other posters - that if this proceedure is followed - they indeed did get their discounts both for the referral and the code - the only caution I am giving you - is that they do check - and to prepare you for what you might be facing when you do call them-

It is interesting (just looked at the copy of the email sent to me by studmonkey) that they say that you can take an additional 10% off of the referral discount using the discount code (pm me with a email addy and I will forward a copy to you)-

Hey bigmike7, they dont say that you can take an additonal 10% off on top of the referal, I type that in so people will know that they can do that. Shop4tech doesnt send out the referals with that "extra bonus" I do it...

I found that little "bug" one day while messing around where you can put both in the referal and the 10% code. I sure wasnt gonna call and tell them that they mess up...LOL

Looks like they are out of stock now.

some people make the easiest things into rocket science

what are you talking about zaq?

Got my 3 packs in today...Didnt luck out this time got the 4x...

Yo-

It is still very good media - just don't try and burn it with a BenQ 1640 (at least until they fix the 4x -R flaw)

Mike

I have both the benq 1640 and benq 1625 so I think I should be ok...Will they not burn faster then 4x with the benq1640 with overspeeding???

i use to burn them at 16x when i had my 1620, but the scans weren't that great most of the time

Yo sm-

The 1640 firmwares do not currently support the Taiyo Yuden 4x TYG01's-

I have personaly been able to only burn the first one that I tried - then three in a row would not burn at all - and it has been reported all over these forums that the 1640 won't support these burns - so I gave up trying - and now burn the remaining 45 or so on my Lite-On 1693s - which does a very good burning job with these-

Mike

Thanks Studmonkey. I got the 8x TY last Friday, since I got tired of waiting for them to stock the 4x. I should have ordered the 4x several months ago when I first saw your post.

I'm actually relieved. I've read a lot of horror stories about shop4tech. I decided to risk it since a lot of people here happily order from them. The 8x stuff burns great.

I've searched on the web, and noticed TY doesn't make dvd in + or - rw. Is it because they're not as archival as hdd?

My guess is that it has to do with exacting standards. The -RW and +RW formats as a whole aren't anywhere near as compatible as +R/-R. TY could want to avoid it for the simple fact that they don't want to put their name on anything that won't produce a given success/compatibility rate. There isn't any D/L TY media either.
