The Crucial T700 2TB with heatsink drew attention for its PCIe 5.0 speed and low sale price, but the thread quickly shifted to fulfillment problems. The deal still appeared live even when the coupon was not applied, yet the price later jumped and orders were charged without confirmation. Follow-up emails said the drive was out of stock, called it pre owned, and pushed new units at $289, which read like a bait and switch. The included heatsink also raised fit concerns because removing it may be difficult and can damage the drive.
PC builders with motherboard heatsinks, because the included heatsink may need to come off for a flush fit.
Fulfillment looks risky: some orders were charged without a confirmation, and later emails said the drive was out of stock and offered new units for $289 instead. That suggests possible cancellation or a bait-and-switch follow-up after checkout.
The deal appears to have changed or ended: one report says the price moved to $170.59, while another says the code was not applied but the deal was still live. If you order, expect the listed price to differ from the original $153.
Removing the heatsink is not trivial and can damage the NVMe drive. If your chassis already has a built-in heat spreader and needs a bare M.2 drive, this model may be a poor fit unless you are comfortable risking removal.
Be carefull, fulfilled all the shippment info but some problem occured , they charged my card, but no order confirmation came, cant see my order when signed in.

They may have just pre-authorized your card, not actually charged it.
This deal may be dead but I have a question. I'm in the market for two 2TB nvme. It seems that a lot of them come with heat sinks. For my application the nvme fits flush with the chassis which has a built in heat spreader so any heatsink would need to be removed. Are all of these heatsinks on all the drives (reasonably) removable?
Thanks

it's often not trivial. You can potentially damage nvme drives trying to remove heatsinks.
