Just to give some of you who are allowing S&W to raise your Blood Pressure and lose sleep at nights.. Here is a NEWSFLASH..

I just received my $75.00 rebate from MPS, Inc. in todays mail..

Now, just for a timeline for the rest of you... My Rebate was submitted on 4-21-17... Check was shipped on 6-26-17.. Envelope was postmarked 7-6-17... Check received 7-16-17..

Check was mailed apparently by First Class ($.46) and took 10 days to get here from New Jersey.. Slowest first class in history..

SO... don't give up.. "The checks in the mail"..

Great news.! I need my $50 asap so I can pay my water bill before I'm disconnected

Still waiting on mine that was shipped 6/29/17. Did yours come in an envelope or as a post card?

Mine came in a plain white envelope. The check is a small card type check...

Just got mine today, exactly 90 days after filing the form on line. Almost threw it out with the junk mail! That postcard sized non-descript envelope looked like a solicitation. Happy it finally arrived tho.

I'm just curious as to where it was between 6-26 and 7-6.

I've been waiting a lot longer for my Springfield Armory gear-up promotion stuff. 4 magazines, a kydex holster and a kydex magazine pouch. Not really losing any sleep over it.

Mine shows shipped date 6/29 and no joy yet. Should be about time though.

"BREAKING NEWS on S&W Rebates"

No, it was breaking news on YOUR rebate!

Well with all the happy talk about rebates and all the thank yous to Smith & Wesson for doing it I'm sure they can't wait to do it again.

Your darn right... S&W put that rebate on again and I will buy another one or two, so fast it will make your head swim... I'll gladly wait for the rebate...

Hahaha. Isn't it typical human nature for all the suspicion and worry, and how fast it is turning around to joy and glee......

I just sent in another one Saturday for my newest Shield. Here in Illinois we get the $75 again , thanks to Chicago. Wonder how long this one will take? Maybe should start another thread for the new rounds of rebates.
Still haven't received the first one from middle of May.

Thank you OP, because I just released a special kind of crazy on S&W.
Now, I will calm down.

I'd be very happy to buy another Shield if they would make it in a .380! Maybe they could shrink it to a pocket size pistol. DA trigger, Striker fired, and 7-8 round mag. ( I guess I can dream about it!)

Sounds like it would be a fantastic pistol. I'd buy one in a NYM.

Still no rebate check. Shipped date 6/29. Called S&W. They gave me Milano Rebates phone number (866-963-7933) to inquire about my check. The phone call goes directly to voicemail. The mailbox is full and you cannot leave a message. This cannot be a good sign.

You may get your wish (well at least part of it)...keep your ears open from now until Shot Show 2018......380 changes in the wind........

"Shipped" 6/29 (actually, they told me that is the check printing date) and received this afternoon. Be on the lookout for something like this.

You'd think with all the calls they have evidently got, they'd try harder to get the checks in the mail faster once they're printed.

I got mine today, also shows 6/29 shipped date.

I don't think mine will be easy to miss because it will be the mags,ammo and loader.

And it will be coming down the chimney carried by a fat guy.

Me too, shipped same day.

FYI All
I received my rebate check on 7/20/17 which was showing to be shipped on 6/29/17 after filing the submission on 4/21/17.

The post office can be slow depending on the locale, one post office we use gives better faster deliveries than another. Probably Milano has one of the slower post office.

I got my check on 7/20/17 after filing for rebate on 4/29/17, got the apology letter, called Milano after seeing a mailing date of 6/29/17 which was BS, been calling every week, then they said the check had to be stuffed by hand, and lick the stamps manually, then the next week was "oh delay because of the forth of July". Ever time I called Milano it was "give it another 10 business days".

I like Smith and Wesson but they should have not outsourced to such a ****** company.

BTW check will not mobile deposit also, so you have to go to a bank, just cashed mine today, so hang there!

Sounds to me like Milano might be a 1 man band.

Such angst over this. You would think the bank is ready to foreclose on your house. Is it?

Mine was received 4-23, shipped 6-29 and received today!!!!!

I finally received my rebate. I also figured out why it took so long. Milano is the Italian name for the city Milan in Italy. These rebates were actually shipped from Italy. :-)

So the rebates are running 20 days +/- from the "ship date" that is listed on the Milano site? Yikes that is crazy.
Mine says shipped on 7/14 so it won't be until early August that I get it I suppose.

That sounds about right.

yup, mine was marked as shipped on the 6/29 and was received just a few days ago, I thought it was lost on the mail, but there are some people that waited less.

What about those living in states where the rebate was free mags, hornys, and mag loader? What's the timeline like for that?

Waaaaay too early to worry about that!

Absolutely before the end of the year (2018).

got mine the there day, I gotta call Milano tomorrow though as my second one was submitted June 6th and STILL isn't showing up on the Milano website

Good luck with that.

Still can't call; "mailbox is full"

I'm pretty sure they won't empty the mailbox until all the rebates have been mailed and are in people's physical mailboxes.

Actually I got through today.

Are you sure you had the right phone number?

I'm getting the current rebate offer 2 mags 2 boxes of Hornady critical defense ammo an a mag loader .when it gets here it gets here

yeah, I couldn't call or get through yesterday... guess I have to "hope" that my second rebate will show up sooner or later.

Interesting to see the timelines, mine was submitted on 4/30 got the check on 7/17 and it did mobile deposit ok with USAA. Those that won't must be a bank software issue.

Mine was submitted May 7 and shipped July 14 and received today. I took my check straight to the bank and even the teller was confused by this check. She had never seen one like it.

Entry date on mine was May 19th, shipped date July 20th. No check yet.
Hopefully it will get here before I croak.
