I know there's another thread on Shield rebates. Just wanted to advise everybody to watch their mail closely. My check came today in a small white envelope (the old fashion personal envelope size) that said MPS, Inc on the return address. I thought it was junk mail, opened it anyway, and was surprised to find the $75 postcard style rebate check inside. I submitted mine on April 8.

I got one of those Friday, cashed it today and I thought it was junk mail too, glad I opened it. Now if I can just get three more, go Smith & Wesson

I'm curious, did you submit your rebate online on the 8th or mail it back. I submitted mine on April 3rd and haven't heard Bo'peep.

Anyone have a rough idea how long it takes for an online submission to show up on Milano's site?
 
Went to the Milano site. It shows mine was "shipped" June 29. Haven't checked yesterday's mail yet.

A lot longer than it took a couple of months ago. Submitted early to mid April and it showed on the Milano site in a week or two. I have two more submitted on May 22 that haven't shown up yet so that's at least six weeks to post.
 
I submitted on 4/5 and it showed entered on 4/14. Rebate showed shipped on 6/23 and I got it 7/3.
 
OK, weirder than I thought,....

I submitted my first Shield rebate electronically 4-8-17 and it posted to the site 4-14-17. Nothing has happened since.

I submitted my second one electronically 4-24-17 and it posted to the site 4-30-17. Nothing has happened since.

OK, it takes a little while. I knew that going in and I'm very familiar with waiting years for things to happen in the NFA world so no big deal. The only reason I'm paying any attention to these threads at all is because I wasn't sure how the non-serial numbered PSA 'invoices' were going to work, but it looks like they're going through now(my above submissions were with serial numbered Whittaker receipts).

My first two PSA sourced Shields just hit the Milano site today(they were not there on July 3rd or 4th,....I did check).

I submitted these two electronically 5-22-17 and they posted to the site 7-5-17,.......but they show 'entered' on 5-30-17. It took five weeks from the time Milano entered them for them to show on the website as entered. That's the weird part. Advise patience,....it all seems to be working. Just not quite like I would expect it to work. Next week I get to submit my last four rebates and should have the checks just in time for Christmas. Whether this Christmas or next I do not know nor do I care. If I get the rebates too soon I'll be forced to buy more Shields and I don't want to do that. Hopefully they'll hold up the checks until all the promos are over and I can buy food instead. Fortunately I can go a few months without eating and it won't hurt me.
 
Submitted 4/22, marked as valid rebate request received 4/29, says shipped status 6/29, nothing in hand yet.
 
I believe they are taking about (+/-) ten days from the om "Shipped" status to reach mailboxes.
Hopefully that'll put it at Saturday arrival, so I can get the mail before the wife gets her hands on it and asks "what's this for?". Ummmm... my Shield may or may not still be in hiding.... :D

Thanks for the heads up on plain envelope .
 
Crappy part is, you can't deposit with your phone app, you have to take to a bank teller. It's not a normal check and my bank app didn't recognize it. And I scan tons of checks with it.

Does the Milano site only show online rebate submissions? I mailed mine and it doesn't show up in the site.
