Samsung computer monitor $70 rebate report:
Mailed, with every i dotted and t crossed, early in the first week of this
past January. Supposed to arrive 6-8 weeks later. Over 8 weeks later, after
mid-March, I call the toll-free number on my rebate receipt and asked where
it might be. The terse answer, without apologies for it already being over 8
weeks, is it should arrive in early April. Mid-April, I call again. Samsung
says to wait a certain number of days more before applying for a lost check
in the mail situation. I then call Best Buy, where I bought the monitor and
offers help with rebate situations with manufacuters, tell them the
situation. The clerk is polite, says this is totally unacceptable, and
Samsung will hear about it from Best Buy. The Samsung rebate site now claims
the check was sent in the first week of April. It finally arrives April
25th, some 15 weeks after submission.

I will not buy a Samsung product with a rebate offer anytime soon.
