Pretty good. Might be able to beat this directly from WD this BF, sign up for their emails using a couple different ones (if you are going to buy a lot of HD's this BF) you'll get usually a 15% off coupon in a day or two.
Go into your paypal and go to the Deals page, WD usually has 11%-12% cash back via Honey (you need to setup honey and link emails...its all expalined in there).
Thats how i get high end (red pro's or golds) for well below $15/TB
I ordered drives from last week's deal. Becareful, besrbuy now uses a delivery service called, Roady, and both separate orders were stolen by drivers.
When I placed my order I had the option for 3 different delivery dates. I chose the one a few days into the weekday, as the other options no one would have been home at the apartment. Best Buy totally ignored this, and sent the package on the weekend. I have video proof that one of the Roady driver's stole the package and sent it to my credit card company, idiot didn't see a video camera outside the building, along with photos from the Roady tracking #s, clearly showing both Roady driver's did not even attempt to enter my apartment building. They just line the packages up against the outside of the building as "proof of delivery". The other guy, on the second order, he took a photo on the other side of the apartment complex, took his "proof of delivery" photo from that side.

I am not the only one with issues when Best Buy ships from a local store via courier Roady. Go on reddit, or even on the official Best Buy support forums, and you will see many complaints from all over the country when Roady couriers are used. Here is just one example: https://forums.bestbuy.com/t5/Bes...50#M116937

This is not even the first time this happened to me, I had the same thing happen about a year ago, different best buy location, they also sent a Roady hired gun who did the same thing. They refunded that one for me, and I got a call back from the local Best Buy apologizing, and even telling me they try not to use Roady, as they have had other issues recently.

In my case with the hard drives, on both orders they offered to do instore pickup for me, but they made a mistake, and did not put in a family member's name, and I am not at the location to pick the drives up. Both order's were stuck in limbo, and supposedly the could not change the pickup person name from my own to someone else. They said they would escalate the matter, I never heard back from them about it. I called back, and I cancelled the whole order, at this point having wasted enough time with this whole ordeal, only to find out that the "pick up" items were billed at zero dollars, and that was what bestbuy chose to refund ($0.00). I finally gave in and just filed 2 separate charge backs thru my credit card company who is now doing an investigation into the matter, has my building's video footage, and the tracking from Roady along with their uploaded "proof of delivery" photos.

Edit: I'm blind, it's labeled "black Friday deal" so this is the lowest it will be, 20TB is also labeled that way so I'll grab this now to use my amx $25 statement credit for $250 spent at BB offer. Thanks OP

Did Best buy stop saying this is the lowest/black Friday price for items that are on sale before Black Friday or is there some amount of hope that this will get even lower on Black Friday? As it stands WITH the amx $25 off this is still more than the previous 2020 14TB deals that were 13.50(it rose to 14.285 in 21) per advertised TB at $14.166($15.555 without) but inflation makes me pull the trigger since one of my 14s is down below 1TB and I don't have a time machine.

Sadly the Purple money back site also seems to exclude a lot more categories than it used to on Best buy so even the 1% is slightly unlikely depending on how they classify this 🤷 mind you they are giving 11% off at Western digital which might change the numbers for those without the $25 off 250 via amx if wd drops the price later today, it's currently more than 11% higher than best buy's price at the time of this writing, but it's also yesterday in California still...

Anyone know if the Amex offer is targeted? I'm not seeing it as an option on my list. Thanks!
