Kworld has been offering rebates on a variety of their TV and capture cards at various resellers for at least the last 9 months. I'd like to take advantage of one of the current ones, but I haven't seen any feedback in regard to how Kworld is at honoring them.

Anyone have any experiences - good or bad?

Of two people I've found who've purchased Kworld rebate items one was denied because he sent a copy of the UPC instead of the original, although the rebate form he had stated either was acceptable. The other person received his rebate in 6 weeks with no problems.

I purchased a Kworld TV-card from NewEgg that had a rebate in July. I sent the rebate with a certificate of mailing from USPS and included a copy of my invoice which wasn't required as well as the original packing slip and UPC which were required. I received a hand written check 3 weeks after mailing in the rebate with no further action required on my part.EDIT: Sorry, I was mistaken - I haven't received my rebate from Kworld. The check I received was from Hytek for a rebate in the same amount on some Patriot brand memory. I didn't remember I had the rebate coming from Patriot because it took 10 weeks to arrive, so I just assumed it was from Kworld because of the amount.

Neverpayretail: have you got your rebate yet?

I had rebate for kworld USB2 video capture device from newegg.com. I sent in early June. Nothing happens so far. I gave a call today (thanks for the 949 number) and the CSR told me to send in an email for rebate status request. I sent one. I'll let you know what happens.

I waited 12 weeks sent an email, no response. Sent a email there after every week, no response. Called them around 18th week and they said send an email. I said I did and no one responds, the CSR guy took my info and said will pass it to the rebate dept and get me a reply back. The next day a reply did come saying they did not have my rebate.

Fed up I just went to counter 45 at Frys. It was a Frys Kowrld product a TV Tuner card bought on 5/20. The rebate supervisor at Frys got on the phone with the supervisor at Kworld (Emily), got a faxed resubmission done. Next day the check was in the mail, a handwrittend one and I got it in 4 days from CA.

Hope it helps.

Kworld rebates remind me of SOYO rebates ... never come unless you hound them over and over...

I've got two rebates out there and no responses from email or phone ... keeping the faith

Finally, I got my rebate (a hand written check).

After the 1st call and email, nothing happened (see my early post). Then I called again, they told me they could not find my original submission (actually they called me back for this info). Re-submitted as their special treat, I got the check within days.

Got my 2nd rebate check in the mail today! Funny that I just sent them an e-mail regarding this one, but this check must've been in transit before I sent it.

Using an e-mail correspondence worked for me. I sent them an e-mail with no malice and all the facts. The responses were prompt (within a day or two). I got my check.

Mine arrived last week, after about 13 weeks. It was hand-written. I did inquire by email a month ago just to verify that they'd received my rebate form, but I didn't have to call or anything to get the check. (This was from a Buy.com promotion.)

After calling i finally got a $40 hand written check today.

I think these people are scamming the public.

My brother and i will not be getting our $20 checks. We're told kworld never recieved them.

I got the USB 2.0 DVD Maker (VS-USB2800D, although rebate says KW-USB2800D) during the Fry's Opening Sale, Free after $40 rebate.

I got everything ready to mail prior to seeing this thread, but have not put it in the mailbox yet...

so my question is what would you suggest me to do(such as certificate of mailing? certified mail?...etc) in case there are problems in the future?

thank you.
