"OK, this is resellerratings.com, I shouldn't post a review for a manufacturer's rebate here. But since someone else posted this first, so I follow with my experience dealing with Hammer Storage rebate here.

I bought their DVD writer, and sent in the $20 rebate request September 23, 2006. Three months later, didn't see the check coming, so I called. Was told there is no record, and was told to send in my copy again. Sent in my copy the next day (in December). Two months later, still no response. Called again, and again, was told no record. Was asked to fax them my copy. Faxed my copy to them 2/9/2007. Called today (2/14/2007) to make sure they received my copy - AGAIN THERE IS NO RECORD!!! Was told that it takes 4-5 weeks to have the fax go into their "system". You gotta be kidding me. It's been 5 months since I submit the rebate, and they have the gut to tell me it takes another month to just to have the fax get into their system??? This is definitely rebate fraud. I will be talking to retailer (Fry's) about this. I don't believe Hammer Storage has any interest in honoring this rebate at all. Come on, 2 mails and 1 fax, 5 months later and still no record, how can that be. Hammer Storage is definitely not doing a honest business there.

I should have bought another "name brand" DVD writer which is $10 cheaper than Hammer's without the rebate. I'd say avoid their products. It just doesn't worth it.

"Purchased an external hard drive.

It’s over 3 months after submitting my rebate, still haven't heard anything from them. Called 1-800 number on the rebate form and was told by CSR that they would process it as soon as possible. Called them at the end of 10 weeks, got the same answer.

I am having doubt on their honesty in doing business. Will caution anyone attracted by their rebates.
