It isdiscussed occasionally at www.bensbargains.net at they almost always getthe thumbs down.regards,BenI too have had poor; actually _NO_ rebates from Office Max! I am aperfect three for three there. The problem comes when they offer adual rebate, i.e., a rebate from the manufacturer _and_ a rebates fromOffice Max on the same product. I want to make it very clear here thatthe manufacturer rebate was received _each and every time_ and ONLYthe Office Max rebate was rejected!Each time the directions _clearly state that _no copies of the UPCcode will be accepted at Office Max_. However, in order to receive adual rebate, you _MUST_ send a copy to one or the other and Office Maxpersonnel assured me each time that Office Max would indeed accept acopy of the UPC.Each time the rebates from Office Max were _rejected_ due to a badUPC. The funny thing is that the last two times I attempted the dualrebate thing, I had Office Max do the copying of the necessarypaperwork and even had the manager personally sign the copy of theUPC! The first time my rebate was rejected, I chalked it up to somepaperwork snafu. The second and third times I walked in to Office Maxand demanded to talk to the manager and asked for the rebate or helpin getting the rebate. The managers each time worked a deal or in thelast case (this past week) gave me the money. I have absolutely NOproblems with the local Office Max stores, as they are both helpfuland very friendly. Corporate, however, is a different matter. Doyourself a favor and avoid _ANY_ dual rebates when Office Max isinvolved! BTW, the manager even admitted that rebates were a problemfor him and he had worked on one rebate for a customer that took threemonths to settle!! Again, GREAT local store but _______ (you fill inthe blank here) corporate. I will _NEVER_ attempt a dual rebate atOffice Max again as it is an exercise in futility. OFFICE MAX ARECOUNTING ON THE FACT THAT YOU WILL NOT BOTHER FOR A FEW DOLLARS! I donot need the money but it is the principle. If they don't want to paythe money, then should not make the offer!
