Dear Valued Customer,

n

After further consideration, we have determined that the $200 in rebates will be honored on eligible purchases of 200 GB Western Digital hard drives ordered between September 25, 2003 and September 27, 2003. Please disregard our prior communication on this issue. We value you as a customer and will keep your order in process at the original online purchase price.

n

If you have cancelled your order due to the initial message posting and wish to reinstate your order, please respond back to the [email protected] mailbox. Due to the overwhelming response to this promotion the Western Digital hard drive will have twenty one days lead time before the item ships. We will be posting revised instructions for submitting rebate requests and will be extending the submission deadline.

n

If you would still like to cancel your order please contact us at the [email protected] . We apologize for any inconvenience that this may have caused you and thank you for your patience in this matter.

Update: For some reason, I received the hard drive today even-though I cancelled the order. So I guess I got lucky. If you received the HD and wasn’t offered the opportunity to cancel, you qualify for the rebates. Here’s some instructions on how to send in the rebates.

For those of you who have received the drive and are having questions on the rebate forms.

n

Just looking at the rebate forms, I would suggest sending the UPC in with the rebate form that lists both the 200 and 250 and I would send the capacity label in with the rebate form that only lists the 200GB.

n

As far as the purchase receipt goes, I haven’t found out yet. I would print an invoice on line and send both a copy of the invoice and packing slip. But I will update this post as soon as I find out for sure.

Respectfully,
