"I purchased a Wintergeen Systems AMD System through TigerDirect. It was received promptly and in good shape. I hade a problem with the mouse and the system CD. I contacted them by e-mail and received replace quickly with no problem. I did Not have good luch wit the Londows operating System. It hase been over a month and I still don't have the operating systen working satisfactorly. The hardware was a good buy and is operating great with Windows 98SE. "
"Wintergreen Systems does not honor their rebates. I am currently 5 weeks past the promised receive date and they have not arrived. I have spoken with their customer service twice in these 5 weeks. The first time they gave me a run-around (common practice, but rebates usually appear afterwards). The second time they tell me that they do not have any of my information on file. I highly recommend that you DO NOT buy products from this company. Matter of fact, let's make the people pay for ignoring us and ripping us off - file a complaint with the Indiana Better Business Bureau just like I did: http://www.indianapolis.bbb.org/complaint.html"

"Wintergreen Systems likes to run rebate promotions it has no intentions on paying. I've been waiting for 6 months on an approved $100 rebate on a monitor, they don't have the money to pay it. I hope they go out of business soon so they can't continue to cheat customers again and again."
"Wintergreen is a fraudulent company that does not honor their promised rebates. This company will be out of business soon if they continue to steal from their own customers. I bought a Wintergreen computer from Tigerdirect as a gift for my mother and Wintergreen Systems never honored the rebate."
"I see why so many of these reviews are bad. I purchased a system from them through TigerDirect a year ago, and have been having problems with it ever since. I can't upload anything, it continually freezes. I sent it to them to repair twice, the first time it came back worse than when i sent it in. It didn't take long for it to start acting up after the second "repair". I think they are a bunch of rip offs. NO ONE SHOULD BUY ANYTHING FROM THEM. EVER!!"
"In December, 2004, I ordered a Wintergreen bare bones system from Tiger Direct. It had three rebates: one for $100 from Tiger Direct and two for $20 each from Wintergreen. I submitted the rebates within the proper time period with the correct information and UPC codes. Tiger Direct paid its rebate promptly. A year later, Wintergreen has not paid its rebates.
I contacted Wintergreen and asked them why they had not paid the rebates. Their first response was that I had not included the serial numbers from the CDRW drive and motherboard. I sent them a copy of the rebates clearly showing that I had provided the serial numbers. Then they sent me an email stating that the serial numbers were not correct. I checked the drive and motherboard and the serial numbers are correct.
It is clear that Wintergreen does not want to pay the rebates and is using the “incorrect serial numbers” as an excuse not to pay.
Tiger Direct is still selling Wintergreen products. I contacted Tiger Direct reporting that I have not received the rebate payments from Wintergreen and that in light of the many customer complaints about Wintergreen not paying rebates, if Tiger Direct continues to sell Wintergreen products, it is participating in cheating its customers. A week has gone by and Tiger Direct has not responded to my email.
I have told Tiger Direct that I will not purchase any more products from them as long as they continue to sell Wintergreen products. There are many other online sellers of computer products who provide better customer service. Those sellers can be determined right here on this web site.
I have filed complaints with the Better Business Bureau of Fort Wayne, Indiana, (fortwayne.bbb.org), the Attorney General of Indiana (in.gov/attorneygeneral/contact/) and the Attorney General of Kansas (accesskansas.org/ksag/contact.htm).
I believe that no one should purchase any product from Wintergreen Systems and that all should refuse to purchase anything from Tiger Direct until they stop selling Wintergreen Systems products.

I received a check for $40 drawn on the Attorney General of Indiana's account. There was not a clear explanation of what the payment was for, but since Wintergreen owed me two $20 rebates, totalling $40, I have to assume that this check represents payment for my rebates.
Of course, the expense represented by the time I spent pursuing these rebates was much more than $40, but it's the principle of the thing and I would do it all over again if I have to.
I don't know any consumer who likes rebates, but as long as manufacturers and retailers are going to offer rebates as an enticement to buy, I will do everything I can to see that they meet their obligation or if they don't, that this behavior will be reported to the proper authorities and other consumers.

"I purchased a Wintergreen desktop computer thru Tiger Direct. These people keep telling me that my $80.00 rebate is in the mail.after I questioned their honesty because it was three weeks after they said it was in the mail.They said I was insulting a very christian woman and to wait two weeks.When I called again they said there was a mixeup and that they went out last week.Tiger Direct has said they will make it good but I am going to ask for a refund towards another computer.So far it's been over 17 weeks."
"I purchased a Wintergreen Barebone Kit from TigerDirect that had $140 worth of rebates. The $100 rebate directly from TigerDirect was great. The Wintergreen rebates not so good. I was informed yesterday by Jessica Bruckner that they were processing rebates from 12/14/04. That meant they were 2 1/2 months behind with rebate processing. The excuse given "unfortunately working 12 hours a day on rebates and processing as quickly as possible is the best we can do." Should we feel bad for her? Do not purchase from this company if you expect your rebate on time. "
"Although I will admit the price was cheap, do not buy from them. their products are terrible (i've had several different issues with my system ranging from video problems to it running like a 100 mhz with 16 ram rather than 1.1 ghz with 128. terrible"
