E-Machines Mail in rebate rip off Detroit, Young America Michigan Minnesota
A couple of years ago I was looking for a computer for my daughters. e_machines had an add for a decent desktop with a huge - $300.00 - rebate.
I bought the computer and sent in the paperwork within the alloted time. I waited several months for the check and finally received a letter denying the rebate. The denial made no sense, it was full of jargon and numeric codes.
I wrote back - they denied. This went on several times. Each time they denied the claim they gave a different excuse.
I did everything exactly as they listed it on the paperwork. I should have received the rebate. Instead I was ripped off by a small time maker of a mediocre computer.
By the way, I received the rebate from Lexmark that I filed the same day. I bought the printer the same day as the rest, mailed them together, and had no problems with Lexmark. Both companies had the same deadlines and requirements.

I purcased an E-Machines computer from Best Buy. I sent in all the forms and UPC info from the boxes from the mainframe and monitor two days after I bought them. After two months I called, they told me that they got the forms too late to send me the rebate, I asked them to send me photocopies of the envelopes to prove the postage date, they refused. I contacted Best Buy, they also refused to help me; I have spent a lot of money in that store, I refuse to step foot back in there. Both Companies are complete rip-offs, and I will never buy anything based on a price that has to do with a rebate.
