Hey folks: earlier this week I sent e-mail to Antec customer service and explained Outpost.com's current back order status and the rebate terms. I asked them to confirm that they would honor the rebate requests under these circumstances. Here's the reply I received this morning:
I spoke to one of the people that setup this promotion and they assured me that you shouldn't have a problem redeeming this rebate. If you do run into any problems, feel free to contact me. I hope that this has been helpful, and if you have anymore questions, feel free to let me know.
So, I'm leaving my back ordered item in the queue. And a tip o' the hat to Steve in customer service at Antec.
