onSale

Onsale.com has scammed me twice on rebates. The first time I gave them the benefit of the doubt even though an employee did give me incorrect information. A year later I found a deal with two rebates directly from ONSALE.Com and they refuse to honor them. I filled out ridiculous paperwork, made copies, cut out product information, etc and they simply refuse to send the rebate, saying they didn't receive anything from me although one employee had told me that everything was in order and my checks would be coming. After many phone calls and emails, nothing has happened and they won't even answer inquiries anymore at all. They will cheat you and there's apparently nothing to be done about it since it is their own company rebate.

DO NOT BUY...$99.00 rebate never came. Onsale says rebatesystems.com is the problem. Copies of signed forms sent 6 months later still no rebate

It was good since I got a significant rebate on the price - almost 25%. If not for that, I wouldn't shop at onsale.com again.

excellent shopping experience; too bad that one has to go through this ridiculous time consuming paper drill to (hopefully)get the rebate.It is this process that will keep me from doing business with this company again. Sincerely, Fred Boettcher

Terrible service! We paid extra to have the order shipped next day, and after waiting a HUGE amount of time for someone to finally pick up they told us the items wont get here until 4-5 days. Asked about a reimbursement for the shipping and they mentioned they cannot assist. At least I know where NOT to shop.

NEVER AGAIN will I order anything from onsale.com. What a nightmare experience. They double charged my credit card for the same item. When I ordered the item, it said it was available and then when I went through with the transaction it came up back ordered. I tried calling customer service SEVERAL times and the phone at this company just keeps ringing- no one answers it. When you finally do get through, they basically rush through your conversation not really listening and then that's it. One of the charges was put back on my card, however, the other has not. I am still trying to get this mess straightend out. The worst past is that they have a HORRIBLE rating with the BBB and after reading all these negative comments- I only wished I would have done more of this research before ordering. STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY- YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!!
