If I mail out the rebate form with the barcode,

Can I still have it returned at futureshop?

This is the wrong forum and yes, if the CSR is too slow to notice a hole in the box, you probably could if you photocopied the reciept but that is really unethical.

Sorry dude. Remove this post from the Hot Deals section before you get flamed by the people here...

So far - no major flames. My first gaffe got me a few flames.

Some stores will not return an item with the bar code missing. Some will charge a "service charge" if an item is returned with the bar code missing. This is done to stop people buying an item - sending in the rebate and then returning the item.

Everyone is more mellow being Friday afternoon versus Monday morning....so no flames yet...lol


Some stores will deduct the mail-in rebate off the return price (FS did this with my inlaws last week)

Wrong forum buddy - Someone should post that "Instructional Video" I can't find it.

That's the same trend I've seen with FS.

The only time I tried to exchange something with missing UPC (a modem) at FutureShop, they let me do a swap of the unit only, and not the box.
