I'll second the Macmall rebate issues. In fact I no longer factor in rebates when looking at sale prices. If it's a rebate, it's a 50-50 shot at ever actually seeing money.

This isn't isolated to Macmall but some retailers are worse than others.

Be careful when dealing with MacMall. I submitted all the paperwork to get a rebate on a Mac Pro and on an HP Printer and NEVER RECEIVED EITHER OF THE REBATES. That was bad enough. But later, when a drive failed and it was still under AppleCare, I discovered MacMall does NOT use Apple certified hard drives in their systems. They use off-the-shelf drives (same brand and model just not Apple certified). When I needed to get the new drive, the Apple support person was willing to overlook this and said this was an on-going problem with MacMall.

Regarding Getting Rebates from MacMall: Make a copy of all your paperwork and send it in via Certified Mail *AND* a delivery confirmation receipt. It's extra work and a little extra expense but otherwise you're at the mercy of trusting MacMall and. at least in my case, they did not act ethically.

YMMV but I would not trust their rebate system. And ask them when purchasing: Are your hard drives certified by Apple? If not, Apple is really not under any obligation to honor the warranty.
