Office Depot
Rebate Scam

Office Depot Rebates: I bought a combined offer for a Compaq notebook and HP printer that offered $250 in rebates. The offer was for $150 from Office Depot, $70 from HP on the notebook and $30 from HP on the combined purchase. The sale was on 5/2/06.

I immediately complied with all aspects of the rebate offers and promptly mailed the three envelopes. Please note that I was extra cautious to comply with every requirement of the offers since I had heard that they would deny for the slightest reason. I carefully cut out the UPC s, filled in the forms properly, circled the sales information from the receipt, etc and mailed to the different addresses.

Office Depot waited about a month then denied my submittal based on the following: Limit one rebate per household/business Of course this was my first and only rebate request ever to Office Depot. When I called the number I was told that it was an error on their part and that my check would be forthcoming. Simply a lie, they have never mailed the check. These people are simply put CROOKS.

At the same time my requests to HP were being denied because I did not include the serial number which is a baldfaced lie since I filled in the blank with the S/N and the UPC was attached which also had the serial number.

My advice: do not ever buy a product from these companies that has a rebate offer, they will cheat you!!
