I'm 1 for 1 with FS. Bought an LG CD burner a little over a year ago. Received rebate without problem, though it came a little late (3 months)

I've received a few rebates from FS, but the only one I didn't was for an Altec Lansing speaker setup. However, I purchased it at FS, but I believe the rebate was to Altec directly.
This was about 3 years ago at least.

If you bought anything from Boxing Day, it will take longer as most of the rebates throughout the year are from BD, and you have such a large amount of people sending them in.
Sega, HP, WD, Creative, Kingston/Azen, AMD (possibly TD, yes TigerDirect) have been successful.
The only rebate I've never received was from Sony, which makes sense, as it's Sony.
I was thinking of starting a thread similar to this...

Should be US funds. There would be a US address on the cheque.

If you bought on the website you can still open the pdf receipt. It has a "Global ID" number. Call fs 1-800, press the number for rebates, give them that number, and whine about how its longer then its supposed to be. They will know from that number who to call to check status, and do it while you are on hold. Both FS and BB rebate FAQ say rebates should come within 8 weeks of receipt by the rebate house.
I haven't had problems with rebates addressed to staples, FS, compusmart and processed in Canada, but thats a few now going to US that have been denied improperly. From now on I'm going to be as stringent on these master rebaters as they are on people submitting them. They put deadlines for valid submissions, they will be held to the timeframe on the rebate form, or the complaint barage goes out the next day: manufacturer, rebate house, retailer, BBB, federal trade commission, state attorney general, adstandards if store promoted the rebate. Done with one, and I had the rebate amount credited on my credit card the next day. The FTC in the US just ordered compusa to make good on some manufacture reabtes that never paid out and to stop advertising times unless they are sure they'll be met.

got 1 still waiting for the other.
LG cd burner. purchased Nov 2003, still waiting.... Think I should give up? :evil:
My rebate status online says that I is completed, but never received rebate. Emailed them about 6 times with no replies to anyone of them.
I think they don't even bother to read their emails when you click on the "contact us" link

You've got to pick up the phone! Its like Staples pms, some of us make a little effort and get them everytime...others accept overpaying and fund the deals the stores give the rest of us :)

I recieved my Dlink router rebate from FS and I bought it a few days after Boxing Day. I've never had a problem with FS rebates. Just be patient, they should come in.
