Stolen shamelessly from Fatwallet & Gruntville, WD has a customer loyalty program that alows you to buy new drives at very low prices with free shipping & no tax.
Call 1-800-275-4932 option 4 for Loyalty services, then 1 for upgrade program.
How many can I order?
- you need a unique S/N for every drive you want
- you can order as many drives as you want (well within reason) on one phone call as long as you have unique S/Ns for each
Price of drive
- includes shipping
- there are no taxes
- there is no duty. Majority of drives ship from within Canada
- if charged duty WD will reimburse you
- all amounts are in USD
Shipping
- via UPS Ground
- billing and shipping addresses can be different
- the drives are shipped from within Canada, however some have reported that their's came from the US (if you get charged taxes WD will reimburse you)
What drives do they have?
- They have over 30 different models available. the popular ones in this thread are the 400GB SATA, 320GB SATA, and the 36GB Raptor.

Pretty damned cool, I know. Now, if you intend to send in your S/N and get a new drive, cool, enjoy it. However, if you have a drive lying around with an expired warranty and you already have enough hard drives, I ask you to send me the S/N. I'm building a NAS and need five 360 GB HDDs, and have four WD drives whose serials I can send in, so I need one more. You can either PM me the serial, or email it to mykytiuk [AT-SYMBOL] gmail [PERIOD] com. If I receive more than one serial, I'll let whoever sends me extra know that I don't need it anymore. If they decide they still don't want it, I'll compile a list of extra serials I have and give them out (while informing the original owner that the serial has been used) as I receive requests on a first come, first served basis.
Thanks, and enjoy.
Sorry about that.
