As a computer consultant that builds PCs & installs networks, I have purchased several hundred rebated items from buy.com over the last three years, and the only rebates I could not collect were the Connect3D rebates ($150 worth!)… That’s right, I have received ALL of my rebates, including many that are listed here as not paying their rebates. Coolmax is listed - I buy their power supplies for PCs - I have purchased at least 30 of them and received EVERY rebate from them.

While I concur that the Connect3D company planned this scam all along, buy.com isn’t legally liable for the rebates (unfortunately!), the token offering of $10 is a nice gesture on their part… As for them making good on Connect3D’s bad rebates, it was about 4 million dollars worth of rebates, so I can’t imagine them eating that much money.

99% of the time, people do not READ the requirements for the rebates thoroughly, and therefore do not fill out the forms properly and/or include all of the required UPCs, etc.

Buy.com is one of the MOST reputable websites that you can buy technology from!

that sounds like an awful scam. i hate purchasing online for that reason. i think that buy.com should be responsible, you bought it from them. and they ahould go and battle the distributer.

This, my friend, is why I hate mail in rebates!
