NEWEGG IS A FRAUDULENT RETAILER! I'VE BEEN WAITING ALMOST 5 MONTHS FOR MY $30 REBATE FOR A DIABLOTEK MP3 PLAYER I PURCHASED FROM NEWEGG. I WAS SUPPOSED TO RECEIVE THE REBATE AFTER 8 WEEKS. NEWEGG PROMOTES SALE OF THEIR ITEMS WITH MANUFACTURER'S REBATES. THEY DO NOT HONOR THE REBATES IF THE MANUFACTURER FAILS TO PAY. I'VE CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER MANY TIMES AND ALL THEY EVER SAY IS THAT THEY NEED 6 WEEKS MORE TO PROCESS THE REBATE. NEWEGG CONTINUES TO ADVERTISE ITEMS FROM MANUFACTURERS THEY KNOW HAVE A POOR RECORD OF FULFILLING THEIR REBATES. ACCORDING TO THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION, RETAILERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR REBATES IF THE MANUFACTURER DOES NOT HONOR THEM. REPORT THIS FRAUDULENT COMPANY TO THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU, FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION, POSTMASTER GENERAL, AND YOUR STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL!
11/26/07 UPDATE: AFTER I POSTED THIS REVIEW ON RESELLERRATINGS.COM, NEWEGG ISSUED ME A REFUND, GAVE ME AN EXTRA STORE CREDIT OF $100, AND ALSO UPGRADED MY SHIPPING FROM GROUND TO EXPEDITED ON MY NEXT ORDER. NEWEGG DOES HONOR THE REBATE THAT THE MANUFACTURER REFUSE TO HONOR. IN ADDITION TO THAT, THEY ALSO GAVE ME ANOTHER $100. AWESOME CUSTOMER SERVICE. THEY RESPONDED VERY QUICKLY TO MY COMPLAINT. I RECOMMEND THIS SELLER BECAUSE I THINK THEY HAVE EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WILL WORK WITH YOU TO GET YOUR COMPLAINTS RESOLVED.
