the item is a panasonic shaver. amount is 10 bucks
 
I know their Headquarters are located in City of Industry, CA but not sure about the street address. I'd call them up and ask them if it's a legit email.
 
Contact newegg, ask them... I couldn't see any of those companies going through that for 10 bucks.

Or go cash the check, and tell them you don't check your email. lol.
 
Looks kinda weird. Why would they tell you the rebate was invalid at first. Then tell you not to cash the check and send it to them? If the rabate was invalid you would not have got a check to cash or send them.
 
EDIT: The company (owners of rebatestatus.com) seems to have gone bust as of the 19th of November, contact NewEgg methinks.

I wouldn't do anything with that e-mail, if you get the check they wouldn't need you to send it back, they would just cancel it.
 
Definitely legit... There is a front page sticky thread on slickdeals about rebatestatus going out of business and how to get the rebates from them. Knowing newegg, they are rpobably paying out of pocket to fulfill them.
 
yes i've known about cpg's bankrupcy from my visits to fatwallet. fortunately all my rebates went through.

my contact at newegg said i would have to send the copy of the check to newegg IF the check came from CPG - CONSOLIDATED PUBLISHING GROUP. mine was from newegg so i'm cashing the sucker.

just making sure. my bank charges 15 bones for bounced checks.
 
I think it's a result of Newegg looking out for its customers.

Otherwise, you cash the check and find out a week later it's no good and get pissed at Newegg for advertising a MIR and it's no good. They're just giving you advance notice.
