Got mine yesterday - had to sign for it.

JG

Bought my M&P 9 Shield 8/3. Submitted rebate request online the same day. I received a letter 2 weeks ago from Milano telling me that my submission was invalid because I used a PO box for my shipping address. That was my mistake. The letter said to resubmit the request by mail NOT ONLINE which I did and this week the Milano update site now shows it as a valid request.

Don't call Milano, call S&W.

A signature and validation of age is required because of the ammo.

I'm not sure how this package is coming signature or not, but if it is signature required, it's not because of the ammo.

I really can't see any advantage to using one of these over my UpLULA. I think it would be faster also.

I submitted my rebate by mail and prof of delivery said it was signed for on 9/25. It just showed up on Milano's website on 11/1. I guess I'm in line for Christmas delivery!!!!!!

had to call at least 3 times the past 2 months, however, received the 2 mags, ammo and loader last week, so , it is coming, they just take their time

I get ammo dropped off at my house all the time without signing for it. I do have to click a box "certifiying" I am over 18 when I order it and Milano could have done the same thing. Although I would think my having just bought a handgun would be all the proof of age needed.

I finally got someone to answer at MPS...Spoke to a nice lady named Hanna who said you can still fax the form directly to her at 856-314-8270 and she will process it....I first set mine in by internet but never showed up on their web site so I mailed a copy which they say was never received so I hope the fax works.....The direct mailing address is MPS 2615 River Road unit 1 Cinnaminson NJ 08077. I hope the 3rd time is the charm

Happy for you!

I submitted my claim on line 27 September. Guess I have a long time to wait. I called the number on the rebate certificate and they said that I probably won't even see acknowledgement on the Milano site until late November or early Dec. What a way to run a railroad!

Yep Long wait, but u should get it by Spring 2018!

Got an e-mail today from FedEx that SAW (Smith and Wesson) in Pahduka, KY was sending me a package weighing 3 lbs. and requires an adult signature. I sent in my rebate form in around the end of June/early July. I am guessing that my mags/reloader/ammo is on the way.

I got my FedEx email today for my rebate shipment. I filed my rebate August 6th, so it will be 14 weeks. Except I’m not home to sign, and won’t be for another week and a half. So I had to put my FedEx on vacation hold, so they will hold it for me till I get home.

I should have know it would come when I wasn’t there. No I shouldn’t have, who would have guessed 14 weeks for a rebate.

What bothers me is that mine does not show on Milano website even after almost 2 months. Seems like most people are looking at 12 weeks or so, so i guess ill remain patient.

Mine didn’t show on Milano for nearly three months. And when it finally showed up, it said it was entered August 14, which was 11 weeks before it showed up.

As others have said, be patient. (I wasn’t)

I did my rebate on August 8th online, and finally got the Milano rebate inquiry site to show "info received" a few weeks back. I got the Fedex notice for something coming from "SAW" and due to arrive yesterday, and at first I thought "Oh great, that evil looking clown doll on the tricycle from the "SAW" movies is coming after me, and will say "Let's play a game".

It arrived yesterday, and was signed for at my apartment complex office by the staff. I opened it at home and the ammo was on top with the two magazines next to it, and some crumpled up brown paper in to take up space. I pulled them all out and saw tucked down between the box inside with the Caldwell loader in it was a third magazine. I don't know if someone lost count or got distracted during packing or if they threw in an extra for the long wait, but I'm not going to complain about it.

I received an email confirmation of shipment on the way from SAW. Roughly 3 months from purchase date. Happy it’s on the way.

Mine did not show up either. Last week I called Milano and got right through(didn't expect that) and spoke to a very helpful woman who looked up and verified they had all of my information. She stated this rebate is processed by S&W, Milano just inputs it.

Thank you.

I posted in another thread that my rebate is expected to arrive 3 months after submission. Also fedex from Paducah, KY. I bought the gun and submitted rebate form online 8/18, and it should be here on Friday.

I am sympathetic towards the guys who got butthurt over the slow rebate process.. but pestering s and w or milano probably only increases their workload and delays processing. The extra goodies aren't going to change your life. Lots of people are buying these guns.

I think my Beretta PX4 free holster rebate arrived inside of a month, back in 2011. Needless to say, s and w sells many more mnps than beretta does px4s.

Purchased two Shields, kind of expected to get two rebates. I received one from FedEx today, with no word about the another.
They're both listed on the Milano site, but I'm not about to get on the phone with S&W and waste my time hunting down the other one.

Honestly, slightly disappointed after 3 months of patiently waiting and not pestering anyone with phone calls. I figured they'd get it right, but I guess I'm shorted a rebate due to technical or paperwork error. This is the problem with rebates, it's as if the manufacturer is overworked by their own promises and it leaves the customer with a less than desirable experience in the long run.

I received my rebate package today for my Shield 9. 2 boxes of ammo, 2 mags and the mag loader. It was shipped from Paducah, Ky, just 220 miles from me. Submitted the paperwork on July 11. Waited patiently and today it came. Looks good!

Got the email on Sunday that something was preparing to ship Fedex from Paducah KY and low & behold got the package today! Showed up on Milano site as them processing 8/27 so you have some reference. Good things really do come to those who wait. Now to throw that Mag Charger on eBay and recoup the money I spent on Uplula.

Speaking of which, beware buying Uplula on eBay as the site is fraught with conterfeits. Mine looked great, had very similar packaging and markings but when I sent picture in to real company, they confirmed fake. It does work but for how long... worked with eBay and got very quick refund.

The 'servicing' outfit didn't return the receipt, shifty ******s that they are. maybe I can get a copy from GAG. Thanks for the tip.

When I use the Milano website I am shown a rebate I got 7 years ago, but nothing about the one I sent in 8 weeks ago. But after reading most of the posts about this I realized 8 weeks is just about the midpoint.

Mine shows as processed on the Milano site on 8/25
I called Smith and Wesson last week, and the person at Smith actually showed it in their system and it was still awaiting fulfillment/shipping from Smith. She said sometime early to mid Dec...so according to them I still have a couple weeks to wait...

My 1st Rebate had shown on Milano site 8/25/17 and the 2nd showed on Milano 8/31/17 and nothing since then!

This AM got Fedex e-mail saying i have a package due for delivery tomorrow by 8PM, for reference says 8/31/17 but i now wonder if this both or just 1? I would think both would be in same package, since the reference is for the 2nd one, but i don't doubt anything after the 3 month wait!

Also it does say "Adult Signature Required"! Could b due to the Ammo since some companies do require an Adult signature or they want a receipt so no issues will develop later!

At 10 weeks and still nothing showing on Milano.

UPDATE!
I received an email from FedEx yesterday saying my package was shipped from Paducah, Kentucky and will arrive this Thursday. It will require an adult signature. I guess patience is a virtue.

Mine was submitted on 8/11. It took three months to show up on Milano. I still haven't received anything, but I suppose it will be here sooner or later.

On the other hand, I submitted a $100 rebate for American Eagle ammo on 10/13. I received that check a couple of days before Thanksgiving. Like night and day . . . thanks Federal!

Or something like that . . .

Put mine in the mail on 8/12. Never could get mine to show up on Milano's site so I quit trying. Figured if I get it fine and if I don't fine. I didn't buy my Shield because of the freebies anyway. Pleasantly surprised when I received an email saying mine was shipping today.

Really don't know whats going on, since today i got the mags/ammo for my 2nd Rebate which was sent in 1 week after the 1st, but what happened to my 1st Rebate and since both show on Milano and this 1 was for the Shield, the 1st one was for the M&P 2.0 why didn't they sent both at same time?

Maybe there out of 2.0 Mags???
Wonder if i need to call ?? and see what happened to my earlier Rebate?

Just called S&W and explained my issue and they said the reason i didn't get the M&P Rebate 1st was/is since its a newer model than my Shield it would take a little longer but should be on way next few days!

My Shield mags seemed like they been in storage a long time since white Powder residue/Mold on the black bases and they were "DRY"!

I was able to get in contact with S&W in 2 minutes or so!

Finally recieved mine today, 11/29/2017, submitted it by mail 7/9/2017.

Received mine this evening. Mailed 8/12 . P.O. # on packing list shows as though must have been entered on 8/31. Shipped 11/28, Received 11/29. Worth the wait I guess for estimated $160.00 Retail in freebies.

Don't know about the $160. Value and that includes the "Useless" Mag loader!

I submitted my two on 16 & 28 September. Milano created a record for both today.

Not sure when I'll get them, but I signed up with FedEx so I'll know when to be home to sign.

My $160 value figure was adding up the approximate MSRP values if purchased. The usability of the Mag loader is to be determined.

Nothing like your Fall rebate goodies showing up the next Spring.

At least Marlin sent my $75 rebate within 2 months..and didn't make me get a "goodie rebate" because I live in a state where the cash rebates were verboten.

It will be 10 weeks tomorrow. Just checked the status and it finally says something. Says entry date of Nov. 6th. I submitted on Sept. 22nd. Hope it doesn't take another 5 to 7 weeks.

I called yesterday and the rep said that they were processing rebates from mid to end of September. She said they would then be uploaded to the website and should be sent out 2 weeks from submission date on the website. I would take that with a grain of salt though.

My package was supposed to be delivered today now it says tomorrow totally unexceptal ! Haha my god people have patience you'll eventually get it sent it in around end of July

Still wonder what mags us guys who bought the 2.0C will get, 15 rounders or 17 rounders. I'm cool either way, just curious.

I finally appeared on the Milano website.
Submitted 27 Sept 2017
Submission validated on website 6 Nov 2017
No shipping date.
Maybe by New Years, but not holding my breath.

So it's going to come by Fedex Ground with ASR I take it. They usually show up around 10am, so I won't be home unless it gets delivered on a Saturday, that would be nice. I'll probably get carded. I wonder if you can authorize a release if you're signed up for Fedex Delivery Manager, which I am.

I don't know about a release, but there is "Hold at location" option of which I had mine held at one of my local Walgreen Drugs that now does FedEx in my area at least.

Well I am back with my thought on the Magcharger. Someone who has never used an UpLULA may think it is okay, but sure don't think anyone would beat the UpLULA in a race............��. By the way, when did the MAGcharger come out compared to the UpLULA??? If it was much later, I'm surprised they didn't scrap the idea.............Then again maybe participating in this rebate is their way of getting rid of them and they'll disappear into the Sunset ? ? ?

I got mine. It only took 2 months. One day I got an email saying to expect a package from S&W and 2 days later it showed up. I believe either the mag loader or the ammo was on backorder. The response on the deal was overwelming that they couldn't keep up. I am not ready to bash them yet, they still have been very good to me.

My brother & I got the rebate in about 9-10 weeks. It was a heck of a deal, so we're not complaining!
