Cavalry Storage do fraud scammy rebates for external hard drive on ecost ripoff Simi Valley California

This is not a problem with Calvary, this is a common mistake many people make with ANY rebate.

What you get with the product, when ordering online, is a packing slip NOT a sales receipt. The sales receipt is what you get when you complete you checkout during purchase, and usaully in your email as well.

In the future, you should always register with the site you are ordering from so you can go back and print the sales receipts for you orders anytime.

If you order an item over the phone, you DO get the sales receipt, along with the packing slip, in the package. This is common practice.

I talk to a superviser who deals with rebates in Cavaltry Storage Inc. today. She was informed about my rebate denial. She basically repeated same words as customer rep. told me a day before that i did not submit original sales receipt. She said everyone is placing orders online at Ecost and then submits a printed e-mail confirmation as a sale receipt. But, when i asked her how do customers who placed orders over the phone and who don't have a computer (to receive an e-mail with sales proof).....how do they get the original sales receipt?? she had NO ANSWER on my question. Because they don't get an e-mail, they get sales receipt together with the product in the mail!!!! When i asked her for any other ways to settle my rebate issue, she said there are no other ways. I said about filing a complaint with FTD, she said : Very good! Goodbye!....and hanged up on me.

Another moment : the only e-mail notification i received was a Google Checkout e-mail...it did not indicate that i purchased product at Ecost.
If i would sent this printed e-mail, they would find another reason to deny rebate...because e-mail doesn't have proof that hard drive was purchased at Ecost. This specific rebate was only for hard drive sold on the Ecost.com

Now, you see how deceiving this Cavalry Storage Inc. rebate is?? It's a well managed rebate scam. I read on other forum that person submitted both sales receipts (printed e-mail and receipt that arrived with product in the mail) and rebate was denied anyway!!! The reason was indicated as lack of original sales receipt from Ecost.com

So what is the original sales receipt from Ecost? Anyone has any answer for me? Anyone had similar problem? I definitly would never deal will Ecost and Cavalry Storage Inc. in my life.
