Actually Tamron has been very fast for me, too, on a Bronica rebate. So far
my two worst "hall-of-shamers" have been Syntax (motherboard, it took over
seven MONTHS and I cc'd the attorney general on everything early on) and
O'Reilly (book, it took four months...bought before Christmas and sent in
before the end of the year and arrived today). Good promotional idea...I
won't buy those brands again with or without a rebate. I wonder if
companies realize that they are losing customers (forever) with some of
their rebate practices.
