Rebate Magazines

[BobRowe]

I did a search and didn't find this topic covered, so please forgive me if it's already been covered.

I bought an M&P 45 Mid-Size (my 3rd M&P) in mid-May of this year. I filled out the magazine rebate form, attached the receipt, and mailed it in. Haven't received the two magazines yet, so tonight I logged in to Milano Online Rebate Inquiry and checked the status. It indicated that a "valid submission received" on May 21, 2010. It also indicated the proper magazine offer. The flyer for the rebate said to give them 8 to 10 weeks for delivery of the mags.

As of tomorrow, it will be 12 weeks since they received the submission. Should I give a call to 1-866-963-7933, or is this much delay pretty common?

My 9mm magazines came in well under the stated time frame. If it was me, I would call. No particular reason not to.

last year my rebate mags took a good 6 months to arrive

I would call the rebate company, as well as S&W.
No shame in telling the truth and sharing your concern.
S&W takes care of their customers.

That is why I bought my S&W 45C (new).
If EVER an issue, covered.

They put this promo out there to get S&W owners.
Previous to the M&P I was not a fan... NOW I AM DIEHARD!

Mine is a carbon copy of yours (M&P 9c). I mailed first week of may and it says received May 21. I have not received them either. If you call let us know the result.

I went to the link you gave and it said mine was on the way back to me, and "invalid receipt enclosed". Not sure what they want from me, I sent a copy of my receipt as instructed.

I guess I'll figure it out when I get it back. I mailed it in a few weeks ago, so who knows when I'll be able to resolve this.

That is nice to hear. I'm about to purchase a MP9c (I think) the first of the week. One of the factors in helping me along was the two mag rebate. This would be my first S&W semi and I have been hinky about buying one. I'm basically a Smith wheel-gun person or Glock 19 addict. The 9c feels good and it appears the bugs are worked out from when I first looked at them. I bought a G26 then. My son has since appropriated it for his use so I am looking for a small 9. I believe this is it. - 'ole joe

OP:
Are you in a 10 round only state. I am. I wonder if thats why it's taking so long. Shorter supply of 10 round magazines. It's making me wish I just went for the cash. 12 weeks is ridiculous.

I did the cash rebate and it still took about 2 months to receive this.

No, I'm in Michigan and we're not a 10-round state. My M&P 9 came with two 17-rd mags.

I'm a May 21st 2010 guy also (bought a 45c). No mags yet. Little antsy.

 

[BobRowe]

Here's the latest updaate... I just called the rebate company at 866-963-7933. They said that they didn't know why S&W was taking so long to deliver the mags, and that I should call S&W.

I then called S&W Customer Service at 800-331-0852. They said that the 45 ACP mags were back-ordered, and that they should be shipped to me within 10 days.

 

[xopher88x]

Thanks for calling not only on my behalf but everyone's. I'll chill out for another couple weeks and then maybe I'll make the calls and give an update.

 

[Mule88]

It took me 8 weeks to get mine. Id keep calling them though and stay on top of it.

Mag rebate

I have 3 M&P's. All 9mm, 5 inch Pro, 4 inch Pro (best 9mm i have ever owned including performance center 9mm's, glocks, sigs, CZ etc,) and a 9compact.
I filled out my coupon for the mags in April. Web site shoows valid submission received. No mags yet. I have since received rebate checks for pistols i purchased later. Its a production issue. These guns are so good, and becoming so popular that demand is outstripping production.

P.S. the only need for glock now is if i want a 10mm pistol

Big news, I just received my mags in the mail. I'm a may 21 guy. So all you May 21 people keep checking your mailbox.

Sounds good. I'm a May21 guy. Did your mags come via USPS, UPS, or FedEx?

 

[southchatham]

USPS, I'm in MA so I may have got them delivered sooner since they came from MA. If your farther away it may take a couple of more days. My guess is they send big batches at once, so they should be coming. Also, Milano still say's the same thing, so don't go by them to see if it shipped yet.

Got my mags today!

Got my mags today, the wait is over for me. Hang in there my fellow late May rebate submitters. The system is working. Patience pays off.
