From all the mail in rebates you have sent in for hardware items, how many did you not get back?

[WyteWatt]

Also for the ones you didn't get back, if any, what stores were they from ? Plus whats the longest you had to wait for a mail in rebate and which store was that?

I've gotten all of mine back, for hardware, software, appliances.

I get all of them back. Period. If it takes 50 phone calls over 6 months, thats what I do. Can't imagine being pu##y enough not to track down a rebate thats rightfully yours.

Got all of them back except for one (Netgear MR814 Router - TCA).
According to their status page, it was mailed out on the same day as my $5 Netgear ethernet adapter rebate check but I only received the $5. I waited for 2 more months and got nothing.
You think they'll do anything if I contact them? Can't they just say that they mailed it and that's end of story?

I've gotten all but one back, since last October. The last one I'm waiting on (from CompUSA) was submitted about three months ago for a Samsung ML-1450 printer. The longest time it took me to get one was just over five months from Cendyne for a DVD-Rom drive. All this time I have been using these brown envelopes that are about 3/4 inch larger than legal envelopes, in hopes that they will "get noticed" and less likely get lost. The other rebates I've gotten have come from FujiFilm (4, 50-CD spindles), I/O Magic (CD-RW drive) and four different rebates on two Western Digital hard drives.
