~~~~ Brag & Moan ~~~~

[dreamseason]

I'm $900 poorer now that my 6400s have shipped. That's a brag

<moan>
UPS killed my first 6400 during shipment, Gateway wouldn't tell me when I'll get a new one, I called a new CSR last night and he said he would bump it up to a 7400 and eat the cost, then said it looked like my 6400 was finished and shipping. I got the invoice yesterday for $560 and they won't give me a break since I didn't get it when it shipped, not even refund the shipping charges! They sent the new one UPS again to boot.

Got four of the mushkin 256's sitting on my desk waiting for the 6400....

A gateway manager called me today and gave me a 9GB SCSI drive for my troubles and refunded me my $60 shipping as well as shipped out the 6400 overnight today. He said it was to thank me for being civil about all the problems I had with them and UPS.

[zboy]

I never get my Sony CLIE and ACER CD burner rebates.

 

[tigerbait]

Just received my $50 rebate from Sonic Blue for my Rio 500. Purchased the bundle from Hp.com for $190, sold the burner for 120, so the Rio only cost me $20. I'm suprised this rebate came through, considering I just sent in my bundle receipt, not an actual Rio 500 receipt like others did.

 

[ornjblud]

Could be old news?????

But I did get my $20 rebate on the SMC barricade I bought a while back. Damn thing cost less than $50 once all is said and done.

DO NOT BUY PHILIPS PRODUCTS WITH REBATES!

Here is the timeline:

3/15/2001 - Purchased Philips Seismic Edge sound card and MMS2057 speakers at Circuit City
3/17/2001 - Mailed rebated forms
3/21/2001 - Philips receives rebate form
4/24/2001 - Philips Rebate Center receives rebate form
6/15/2001 - Philips Rebate Center approves rebate form and begins processing rebate
6/28/2001 - Called to check on rebate status again, and Philips says the check will be printed on 7/5/2001, and I should receive it on 7/20/2001, over four months later!!

Of course, the rebate form clearly states eight weeks...
