I bought mine in march 07 and just got off the phone with "candi" in the rebate center who said my rebates are in the final stages and will be mailed in 2-3 weeks, I will never buy from them again
Make sure you register a complaint with www.bbb.org, epinions, and everywhere else you can. For all the complaining we've had over Buy.com recently, it only makes sense to target the actual rebate scammers like Kworld.
I have gotten several rebates from KWorld, but only after pulling teeth.
1) If you MUST buy a KWorld product with a rebate, ALWAYS send rebates to KWorld via some sort of trackable service such as Certified Mail (the few dollars it costs are worth it), and when you complain about rebates that haven't arrived, be sure to mention that you have proof of delivery of your rebate. Photocopy EVERYTHING including the front of the envelope to proove that you addressed it correctly and included the offer number, etc. (as KWorld sometimes requires). This is especially true for rebates that go to KWorld's headquarters in City of Industry, CA.
2) Keep close track of the calendar and follow up promptly with both KWorld and the retailer when rebates are not received (Newegg will go to bat for you with KWorld if you ask them to).
3) If you want to get rough with KWorld, mention to them that you know about their poor reputation for honoring rebates and that you are prepared to tell CA Attorney General Jerry Brown and the CA Department of Consumer Affairs about your experience unless you get your money immediately.
