Anyone receive their EPIC "mail-in rebate" yet?

hmm, My sprint store did an instant rebate. Originally I wasn't going to go the Sprint store because of the mail in rebate, but I was going to trade a few phones in too to make the EPIC cheaper. At the end when they rang up the price it was cheaper than I thought. They had given me the mail in rebate as an instant rebate. They had done that previously when we bought my wifes phone and I just thought they screwed it up.
 
For what it's worth to people waiting, I got my rebate today. I got my epic on release day and sent the form out a couple days after that.
 
And pay a $35 restocking fee...

The only thing that I can see that is useful for getting at a Sprint store is if you are able to charge to the account (no spending limit) then you dont have to pay for the device until the next billing cycle.

And your next bill scares you. I never heard anything about mines so I sent them a message about it. They claim to have lost my rebate. So they had me send them a fax of my recite instead of a new form. Hopefully all is fine now.

Status Detail: Your rebate is approved and is in the final stages of processing and should be mailed to you within the next 30 days. Thank you

Not bad... I bought the phone 9/21, replaced it 9/22 and waited until 10/21 to mail the form.
