I'm still not clear on everything, and am waiting until Aurora comes back from break to iron out wrinkles. But here's what I've found out, prioritized from top to bottom in my mind: 1. The Gateway order can be cancelled before they send you notification via email confirming shipment. BUT (this is why I have to talk to Aurora), THERE’S NO GAURANTEE THAT YOUR CANCELLATION WILL BE PROCCESSED. It has something to do with whether or not Gateway had sent a notice to their supplier to request a mass order for the back ordered unit, or if your they just sent you’re order to their supplier for the back ordered unit. 2. The order must be made on or before Aug. 15th. 3. Within an hour or so of placing an order, Gateway sends a receipt that can be printed out and submitted with the rebate coupon 4. The rebate coupon, receipt, and serial/part# info from package must be postmarked on or before Sept. 15th 2002. If you haven’t received notification of shipment by Sept. 2nd or 3rd, you may want to cancel the order. Again, more info on cancellation coming. 5. Toshiba must receive the rebate documentation at their rebate center in New Rochelle, NY by (on or before?) Sept. 30th. 6. I was told a second sales receipt would be sent either as part of the email notification of shipment, or as a separate email at that time. Another Gateway person said the receipt is only sent once when the order is received. 7. As of about 4:00PM EDT, Gateway had 80 orders for this 2GB Toshiba backup drive. 10 of those were orders for more than $1000. More later. Matt(Shel) Gee... is this a new kind of WorldCom/Tyco/Enron/Global-Crossing styled shuffle? ;-p _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com ************************************************************** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ - Archives -------TO UNSUBSCRIBE------- Reply to any of the list messages.
