Mail-In Rebates Help Please!

[lancenat]

Hi everyone,

First time buying PC parts from Canada Computers and it has a MIR discount. It says the "Purchase must be made between 12/14/2012 to 01/03/2013 all requests MUST be postmarked wtihin 14 days of invoice date". I'm just confused, does that mean the rebates form printed (from the website which has the date) have to be within 14 days of the invoice but we can send it outside of the 14 days?

Thanks!

The envelope you mail it in has to be post marked within 14 days from the date on your invoice or receipt. Doesn't matter if the form was printed today or 6 months ago.

How do you get the envelope post marked? Does that mean I have to go into the post office and get them to mail it? I can't just put it in the boxes outside?
Thanks again for your help!

You can do it either way. Of you drop it in the boxes it's supposed to get post marked (where there's the red ink stamp they put over the postage stamp you put on the envelope).

I would just drop it in the mail asap after you made your purchase...give a little leeway for when the mail gets picked up and processed from the boxes.

Good advice from Pam! If I were you I'd go the post office route. Ask for a date stamp. Sometimes I find that mail from mailboxes won't get a date on it for some reason

Okay that sounds good. I'll go in to ask them to get the stamps then. Thanks so much for your help!
