scarface Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 I only have done a few mail in rebates before, some i got back some i never did I know OD has this 75 Dollars off any digital camera, but its a mail in rebate. This sounds like a good deal but i dont wanna send it in and never get it back because then im screwed because they only have one UPC code on them.Maybe i could send these certified? lol. Whats everyones opinion on this or past experience. :)

jelee3 Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 I think they're great if you keep everything organized. OD lets you track them online I believe. Always keep copies of what you send out for the rebate and if you do it online, keep your confirmation. That way you can file a dispute if you never receive it.
89MustangGX Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 Even with the easier online rebates for tracking I've had a couple get delayed and it's a real PITA to get it straightened out. I believe rebates are designed for people to get frustrated and give up on.
scarface Posted November 23, 2005 Author Posted November 23, 2005 Yeah but i can make copies of the reciept but you can't make a copy of the UPC barcode
Gloey Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 I think they suck. I wish there was a way for consumers to boycott them completely!
conehead433 Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 Read the rebate form to see where the rebate goes. If it's an Office Depot rebate you shouldn't have a problem. I have always gotten my rebates from OD usually fairly quickly. They are on of the better retailers around in regard to their rebate system. OfficeMax and CompUSA are probably the worst.
conehead433 Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 Yeah but i can make copies of the reciept but you can't make a copy of the UPC barcode You can copy the barcode with a copier just like you would the receipt.

scarface Posted November 23, 2005 Author Posted November 23, 2005 yes but they want the ORIGINAL barcode sent in. Copies of the receipt they dont care about. So if they say they never got it, then you dont have the original no more. I know a few ppl who had trouble with this, dont know how OD is with handling Rebates, but yes it is a OD rebate i just checked their site.
Marcster Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 yes but they want the ORIGINAL barcode sent in. Copies of the receipt they dont care about.No, send in the original w/your rebate...you keep the photocopy of the barcode, in case the rebate company gives you a hard time...
jelee3 Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 No, send in the original w/your rebate...you keep the photocopy of the barcode, in case the rebate company gives you a hard time...Exactly.

billcsho Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 I got all my 15-20 rebates back from last BF (>$300 total). There are a few that I need to do a follow-up phone call or e-mail. The last rebate came in 6 months after submission from MadDog.
