In January Buy.com was offering several Connect3D products with a mail-in rebate. I have not received my $50 for the 2GB USB drive I bought. I believe other FTers have also bought items from
this SPAM thread.
I bought a 2GB Connect3D USB drive in January along with many other people on Fatwallet from Buy.com, a supposedly reputable retailer with the promise of a $50 mail-in rebate. After submitting the necessary paperwork I waited. And waited. And waited. So did many others. No one has been paid so far and it's been 4 months. Connect3D is ignoring all inquiries stating they had passed it off to some third party (i.e. they're bankrupt). Buy.com doesn't care as they have my money already and have ignored all email inquires. Like many others I've filed complaints with the FTC, BBB, and California Attorney General. Now I'm warning you to stay away from Connect3D and Buy.com.

Don't shop at Buy.com. I would recommend PC Connection which also offers products with mail-in rebates. When the companies offering the rebate fail to pay, PC Connection will step up to the plate and honor the rebate. See
