sigma rebate question

[rmcky]

Well, just to be fair, I got mine today. 12 weeks since it was submitted. Not really a problem, but they should state as much. My form says 8 to 10 weeks. 12 isn't really that much out of kilter, considering how things are, but this rebate company is still inferior, as far as I'm concerned. They pissed around with me enough that I won't ever trust a S&W rebate again. Unfortunately, they're unable to give you a straight answer, period. Shame, because that's all I was looking for in the first place. They seemed to know less than I did and that's about all they could offer. I can be as patient as Job, but I want straight answers to my questions. Nothing more, nothing less. I didn't expect them to crap a check, all I needed to know was that it was recieved and was being processed. Unfortunately, they never were able to produce anything usefull, period. This rebate company suks, plain and simple. If this is the best S&W can do, then I feel for them. Hell, I don't have a lot to do, I'll process them and give the customers accurate information. If we're waiting on funds, then we'll let you folks know that you'll have to wait for the next cycle. Geeze, is that that difficult. These companies think they're doing the right thing and saving a companies reputation, but all the deciet make the company look worse. 12 weeks was just fine with me, but it would have saved all of us a lot of grief just to say so.

At any rate, thanks S&W for giving me my money back. I 'preciate it. Now, we've been there and done that. Absolutely won't ever happen again, I'll guarantee it.

Another week with no check. This is starting to try my patience!

It's been well over 12 weeks (bought my Sigma in Dec.)and the 2 mags are not here yet. I called S&W today and was told that the last of the free mags for that promotion will be sent out in about a month.

 

[kona0197]

Wow. Another month? That's not cool. I figure I'm in week 15 myself.

I believe I mailed mine on February 22, and now that I've checked the website today it shows "Valid Submission Received" on February 26. I'll post when I actually receive them.

Had a little package in the mail today, and surprise surprise, it's my magazines. Mailed on February 22 and received on April 12, so 7 weeks to the day of mailing. Rebate Inquiry website still says "Valid Submission Received" with no shipping date listed.

Has anyone received an e-mail from Smith &Wesson saying their rebate is on the way? I just got an e-mail from S&W saying its a shipment notification that a package is in transit to my address. Service: 2PM Weight: 0.36 Pieces: 1
The rebate is the only thing I can think it is. Unless S&W felt like sending me something.

they sent me the same thing today along with a tracking number.

 

[JLR09]

Yea I got the tracking number too. But nothing to track since it just left.

Bought my .40 on Feb 22. Sent the rebate a few days later. Got my magazines yesterday (April 12).

 

[nhjeffs]

I got the same e-mail yesterday. Can't wait to get the extra 2 mags.

Holy crap. I sent mine in back in early January and have received nada.

 

[leejack]

I would call and have them run it down.

You should have had it by now.

To add to the data: I sent off for the two mags the second week of January. I got them in early March.

How much longer after the "Valid Submission Recieved" should i expect them? Mailed out on March 12th. Says received March 19th.

Been about 6 weeks since I mailed it out.

I think if you read through this thread, you find there is no real answer. For some it's been 3 months and still waiting. I seem to be lucky that it was only 7 weeks.

was just getting a feel for the average wait time...ive posted in here before but they finally updated it on their website...this morning to be exact.

 

[nhjeffs]

I received my 2 magazines in the mail today. Roughly 7 week turnaround.

 

[kona0197]

I just got my rebate check yesterday. I mailed it in the middle of January. That was a long wait.

 

[mlk18]

Holy crap. I sent mine in back in early January and have received nada.

I called.....they cannot find it. They started to claim they never received it until I informed them that I sent it via USPS with delivery confirmation and have proof that they received it. Now they are going to go look for it. I am really happy that I scanned everything in first and sent reproductions versus originals. Something tells me I will be sending everything in again.

Kona, glad you finally got yours. It has been a while, hasn't it? I think both of us started looking for ours about the same time. Anyways, alls well that ends well, right?

MLK18, don't be surprised if it shows up in the system tomorrow or the next day. They told me the same thing and it showed up the very next day. I don't think they have anything better to check with than we do. I had to contact them again after it showed up and sat there for a couple of months before they sent the check. Even then, their answer was less than stellar.

This rebate company sucks, big time!!!!!!!!!!! It's in New Jersey, so it's probably Mafia. They probably figure they'll be able to keep it, if you don't bitch too awfully loud. Keep bitchin' and you'll get it sooner or later. Again, this rebate company is about as worthless as **** on a goose.

Anyways, hang in there and it'll all work out. S&W will stand behind it, if the rebate processor doesn't. As a matter of fact, they're real quick to give you the phone number to call, so it's obvious we're not alone.

They sure screwed S&W out of another sale to me, though. I had every intention of buying an M&P and dealing with another rebate, until I figured out how bogus this rebate company was. I may still buy one, but I can guarantee it'll be used. I did buy another S&W today, a CS9, and I think I'm gonna like it as well or better than I do my Sigma. Needless to say, it was used.
