It's now October and I'm still waiting to receive my rebate!
Sorry to hear this; as I am outside of the USA, I am precluded from drawing advantage of these apparently very good offers (just like all us "outside the USA" are also precluded from taking advantage of the very low US-prices on e.g. new ThinkPad's!) - and therefore I have exactly zero experience with these "mail-in rebates" (these doesn't exist over here). Anyway, I only wanted to share what I meant was useful information; I am not any sort of sales-agent for Fry's...
With respect to Fry being very slow in mailing the rebate, it might be of interest to see the
Mail-in rebate sheet which says:
It is required that you cash the rebate check within 90 days of the issuance date on the check. Contact 866-251-9541, weekdays, 8am to 7pm (CST) if you do not receive the rebate check within 8 weeks of the postmark date on your qualified request.
