Got two more printers from Buy.com enroute now to me now. You can't beat the price ($20AR) and now that its confirmed that they honor the rebates when purchased from Buy.com its a no brainer to grab some more. I'm exercising great personal restraint not ordering a few more today.

After many, many calls to the service center inquiring as to the whereabouts of my rebate submitted back in July, I am now told verbally that everything is in order and that a check will be forthcoming in 2-4 weeks (ya, right).

At this late date I have discovered that the same rebate is now being offered for purchases made from 7/2-9/30/07. Wary of the way the past fiasco unfolded, I once again called the rebate center inquiring as to just what constitutes an authorized HP reseller, since this newest offer requires that the printer be purchased from one of them. I asked specifically about Newegg.com. After placing me on hold to check, the agent returned apparently reading from a list which included Best Buy, Costco, HP, Office Max, Radio Shack and WalMart. She stated that Newegg did not appear on the list of authorized sellers for this promotion and I can only assume that since there was no mention of Buy.com, they would not be included as well.

I pressed the agent inquiring as to just how someone would know if the place from which they are purchasing this HP printer would be classified as an "authorized reseller", and her response was that at the time of purchase an authorized vendor would offer you the rebate form either in person or on their site.

Can someone confirm that in this particular rebate offering (7/2-9/30), vendors such as Newegg and AMOF are regcognized as authorized vendors as there is no mention of the rebate that I can see on their site? Perhaps their lower price is meant to be in lieu of the rebate?

Geez.........I'm getting too old for all this hoop-jumping but if you can realize the savings, it's almost worth the aggravation.

Thanks to those who battled this early on. I didn't even see the deal until later, and so didn't run into the problems you did. I submitted on 09/09 and just got the following email--

Anyone have a better number for the rebates. I received only one of my rebates and the other does not even appear online. I call the number and I get an answering machine telling me to leave a message. Anyone find an alternate #?

What time of day are you calling? Remember, PR is in Atlantic time zone... an hour earlier than Eastern. Maybe you're hitting them off-hours (??)
