It figures that since I posted yesterday my rebate arrived today. Things tend to happen like this. Read Mark Twain's essay titled "Mental Telegraphy."
To recap, I submitted my rebate online 4/12/17. The Milano site showed "entry date" as 4/22/17, and indicated "shipped" 6/29/17. Received check today (7/25/17). A buddy who submitted online several days after me also received his check today.
It's a small white envelope with MPS, Inc. as the sender.

Well I'm happy to report that mine came a couple days ago as well. I wasn't sure it was going to because every time I checked the Milano site it said no information found or something to that effect. I figured I just screwed up while sending in the original rebate info. So...yay me.

If I'm not mistaken I read somewhere that S&W has said 10-12 weeks. If you're getting them within a month I think you're GTG.

Just got mine yesterday. Had a shipped date of 6/29 on the website and on the check. Completely obscene waiting time. I think I'll avoid all promotions handled by Milano in the future...

And how will you know what company is handling the promotions? I don't think that was mentioned anywhere before purchasing.

Well hopefully S&W gives a **** and will NOT use them for future rebates.

they probably will. Milano is is one of the 2 biggest rebate companies in the U.S.... they handle the bulk of ALL rebates.
supposedly MILANO came out and said S&W drug their heels on giving them confirmation on serial numbers, which added to the delay

A quick search online prior to me buying my shield would've shown who would be in charge of processing everything.

I got my Shield 45 for $315 shipped. That is s phenomenal price, rebate or not. However, with the rebate, I'll end up paying LESS for my Shield than I did for my Kel-tec Pf9. Now just let that seep in...

I see Milano changed their inquiry page. It no longer shows a print/ship date for the checks. Probably too many phone calls from the starving M&P owners made them do it

I'm not sure they changed the page. Perhaps it looks different when they've entered multiple rebates submitted on multiple dates.

Shield .40 cal rebate
Submitted rebate on 5-27. Milano shows 2 submissions on that day. I bought just one gun. Over 2 months now and no check. Can't get any info from milano. I'll bet the two submissions screwed up there system. I hate rebates! Just lower the price at the point of purchase during the offering. I wonder if I'll ever get my $75?

According to my experience with a submission in April, it is WAY too early for you to expect your check. I'm guessing you'll see it towards end August, early September.

Good news and bad news:
Good news is my rebate check showed up yesterday (8/1). It had a shipped date of 7/14 on the Milano website. The postmark date on the envelope was 7/28.
Bad news is my wife opened the mail first so the $75 is going into the grocery account instead of the ammo fund...dang!!!

I have done a bit of research and have it on good authority that there were over 300,000 S&W rebate forms submitted.

Mine arrived
I sent my rebate in online at the end of April. I finally got it 2 days ago. Per customer support they sold an overwhelming amount of firearms and are running behind in sending out the rebate checks.

Submitted online 5/9/17. As of 8/3/17 NO REBATE RECEIVED... 12 weeks by my math. On a positive note, all my rebates do show $75 at Milano Online Rebate Inquiry

I've said this elsewhere but maybe worth repeating. I submitted mine on April 29 and got the check in the mail July 17. Milano (as someone else said) is one of only 2 big companies that handle rebate and coupon redemption. I expect they got overwhelmed by the number of rebates claimed and will get more overwhelmed as the initial rebate period ended and people jumped in with their purchase at the last minute, creating another "wave" of applications. The check will come if you entered your info correctly. In the meantime, go shooting.

Every morning, I get a daily update on what to expect with that day's mail delivery, complete with photographs of each piece of mail. Here's my notice for today... Yay!
Timeline:
Code:
May 4, 2017 Submitted online
May 8, 2017 Website shows that this is the "Entry Date"
July 14, 2017 "Shipped Date"
July 31, 2017 Postmark date
August 3, 2017 Received via USPS mail
That is:
Code:
2 months and 30 days, or
91 days, or
13 weeks, or
2,184 hours, or
25% (24.93%) of the year 2017 (but who's counting?!)
All in the name of $75.

Yeah, it's called, "Informed Delivery" and I believe it's to discourage theft. If the post office shows you a piece of mail that's going to be delivered that day and you never receive it, then maybe the mailman/woman took it.
The post office already scans and captures images for routing/sorting purposes, so they basically found another use for those images. It's pretty cool.
To see if your post office offers this service, go to this link and sign up (if you don't already a USPS account).

SHIELD Rebate received
Yes people it is real. I finally received my rebate for the SHIELD 40 I purchased on 04/29/17. I received it yesterday 08/02/17. My information was never available online to check my status either. I didn't like that idea even though yes I was as greedy as anyone else to find out.
Hang in there people.

Got some correspondence in the mail relating to me "not submitting a valid receipt." They emailed me about this in June so it wasn't a surpise. I filled out a form they sent and stuffed that form and a different copy of the purchase receipt in an envelope and will mail it out on Monday.
In the meantime, I'm thinking about trading the Shield off or selling it as I could really use another J-frame.

Don't wait too long to cash the check. Mine was dated 29 June. Didn't receive it until 21 July. They are only good for 60 days after their issue date, which is probably the same as the processing date.

Actually checked my confirmation email, I sent it the 28th. July has come and gone. It's mid August now, still doesn't show they have it. I have tried and tried to call. I get a recording that says press 1. But then it says that mailbox is full.
I guess I'm not getting this rebate and I'll never get to find out why.

Not to rub it in but I bought a Springfield and a Kahr firearm which resulted in me receiving my free mags within 4 weeks for both. Seems just cutting a check should be faster than mailing mags out

Submitted July 5th. No email confirmation, doesn't show on Milano's website still.
Hoping that mine will just show up one day.
On a rebate from another firearms related company, the check showed up in my mailbox before the Milano website updated.

I received both of my rebate checks, the worst part was not knowing if you were in the system. It took weeks before they showed on Milano website.

Mailed in my 2.0 Rebate last week! Should I get a conformation e-mail? Also will I have to sign for the package since it contains ammo?
Thank's

FYI from Milano as of 8/23; rebates being processed at this time are those having been received at the end of June. Processing meaning entered into the Milano websight. Milano did say that if an error was discovered in a rebate form they would contact the sender and allow for corrections to be made. Milano only handles paper. Smith & Wesson will provide the extra magazines, ammo and magazine loader for the current rebate offer.

So Milano is not doing the rebate for the mags, ammo, and loader (or are they doing the SN validation and S&w is doing the fulfillment)...I had asked that on another thread.

Try ZIP-Plus 4 on the Milano site
I have been checking the Milano site occasionally using only the 5-digit ZIP code and last name as suggested in an early post in this thread. It always came back with no record of the submission.
Today for some reason I let one of my form-fillers complete the boxes and it put in ZIP+4.
And BINGO! The Milano site now says they "shipped" my rebate on 8/11. I still haven't seen it, but at least I know it should be on the way.
(If someone else previously suggested using the +4 ZIP Code, I missed it.)
Updated to add: The check arrived in the mail on 8/29. So 18 days in "shipping." It is interesting that I WAS able to deposit it using my phone's banking app - the app didn't like it much when I hit Submit, and appeared to be in a continuous loop, but I just closed the app and promptly got the usual email from the bank saying it had been accepted.

I submitted my 1st on May 5th. Recieved the check Aug 12.
2nd one is now showing on the Milano site. So in 6-7 more weeks I should have that one.
3rd one should show up in a week or so...
I don't care who you are, 2 out of 3 ain't bad.
