Title: OT:bargains for rebate haters
Post by: kimmer on May 27, 2006, 04:20:33 PM: Cool site - thanks!

We have discovered that many rebates (and even some book contests!) are not "open" or "available" to us simply because our mail goes to a PO Box. Having a PO Box isn't an option - there isn't home mail delivery here. Yup - no letter carriers in little trucks.

If I bought it in the store I'd have to bother with the rebate hastle so I won't bother! I guess that really does make me a Curmudgeon!

I bought a 250Gig HD from them many months ago and via free shipping, even with two stores within 5 miles. Maybe they just couldn't decide which store to 'force' me to go to. Why not just call the store and complain.

BTW, I got my $100 rebate on my Epson printer about 8 weeks after sending in the form. Helped pay for the continuous flow ink system ( never need to buy carts again ink is now pennies an ounce instead of dollars a gram )!
