It went well.  By using the Google checkout feature, which resulted in a $10 discount which totally offset the $10 price, I saw no transaction whatsoever on my credit card acct for this.  And, again, to get it totally free, the lowest cost shipping option must be selected; otherwise, a fee for shipping would be applied.

Edit:
After reading some reviews about their site, I might back off a bit.
Though most of the users are complete idiots who dont understand the concept of "free shipping" (obviously, FREE means SLOW, DUH)
It seems that a majority of the valid complaints have to do with:
Buy.com 's failure to cancel order
Bad customer support

      Finally got mine today. Had to laugh though. It came in a envelope that was 16" x 11". Inside the envelope was a hard plastic package measuring 7" x 4" that contained the drive itself which measured all of 2¼" x ⅝".

      Can't beat the price, $10 - $10 Google discount + zero tax (NY) = $0.

      Ordered and received mine as well (same huge envelope) - took about 10 days, $0 in charges.

      the only downside is that buy.com likes to send you email, not a whole lot, maybe 1 a day or so, to your gmail account.  Not that big a deal but shoudl be noted.

      At the bottom of the emails, they have a link for removing yourself from their emails.

      I'd try the unsubscribe procedure first.  I think you'll find that works with buy.com.  If not, then you could go the www.spamgourmet.com way.

      Too late now, I think.    He's already given them his email address.

      I posted that url for his, and anyone else reading along's future benefit.

      spamgourmet is one of those things that you take a couple minutes to set up now,  and forget about it - -  keep it for a rainy day. 
      But then when you need/want it,   it is VERY easy to use in its most basic function, it works like a charm, and is very, very handy.   :)
