Warning! Mail-in-Rebate May Take 12-150 Weeks

Posted 06/21/2007 at 08:37:45am

I gave up on rebates about 4 years ago after i had a few problems with them. I no longer pay any attention to them and just look at the real prices of things. It has me me much happier LOL. BUT....i just built a new gaming rig, and almost everything i bought had a rebate of some sort. So i figured "Hey, i might as well fill out all this crap and at least recoop some cash". (around $200) Surprisingly, almost everything went well. OCZ was the only one that screwed me (read below), which brings me to my point. After a company gives me problems with a rebate, i NEVER purchase another product from them. EVER. I believe i am not the only person who feels this way. SO, when these companies are paying other companies to do their rebate dirty work, arent they really opening themselves up to bad PR? ****** To be fair to OCZ, after going to their support page, a person did email me and ask me to email them all my forms and said he would take care of it for me. I chose not to, because a $30 rebate isnt worth taking up this much time of my life.
