Customer Review: OCZ 32GB Pen Drive Memory Stick
Summary: 4 Stars
July 26, 2008
Thanks for the opportunity to review this item.
The purchasing and delivery process for the OCZ USB 2.0, 32GB Dual Channel Rally2 Pen Drive Memory Stick went as planned/promised and I received the product in good condition and in a timely manner.
After receipt of the product, I found that transferring the contents of my programs, documents and materials from my nearly filled initial storage device to the OCZ product was easy, with no problems. Repeated use of the Rally2 Pen Drive for new and expanded storage proved to be quick and easy.
An OCZ sponsored promotion accompanied this product's purchase, with OCZ offering purchasers a $30.00 Mail In Rebate (MIR). I was impressed with this added value to this product. I hurriedly completed the downloaded MIR form, completed the additional requirements and submitted the form and materials to OCZ Technology's Rebate processor.
I was surprised when, a few days later, I received an Email stating that my MIR application had been rejected. Reason stated was that my 'postmark date did not fall within the MIR program's submittal dates".
When I located their number, called the OCZ Rebate service and spoke to 'Chris' an OCZ Rebate rep, I asked the reason for the rebate rejection that had been mailed in by me. As was included with the Email, Chris stated that my 'MIR package had not been postmarked during the 10 day submittable period.' I was surprised at hearing this since the form that I had been provided, via an online download and had mailed in to OCZ had clearly stated that for the applicable MIR period (June 17th to June 30th 2008) the submittal period was '20 days' and not the '12 days' now claimed by the Rebate Rep! I attempted to explain this to the Representative.
After some more discussion Chris asked that I 'please hold' as he had to research the new information given him by me. After some delay he returned to the phone to state that he could not locate any reference to the 20 day period I was claiming and that it would probably take about 2 weeks to resolve the issue. After my insistence/persistence Chris then asked that I "Fax a copy of my MIR Form", to his attention, as that might assist their efforts to clarify this matter. This I did.
Before ending the conversation I pointed out to Chris that the 'submittal period' for OCZ's current promo campaign -(July 17th to July 31st) - for this same or similar product had now been lessened from 20 to 12 days! I also pointed out to him that the shortened, 12 day period (for submitting the MIR and materials) was too short a period for most purchasers. I based this on the fact that I had now ordered another one of the 32GB Pen Drives and that according to the Email that I had received, this order was scheduled to be delivered to me (from Amazon) on the final day of eligibility for this promo campaign. I stated if I decide to apply for the $25 Rebate offer that that type of time frame left me little or no margin for error - especially if there was a delayed delivery by the Carrier!
In summary I question as to whether or not my current experience with OCZ Technology's MIR Rebate system is simply a sign of a 'broken system' in need of repair, or is it actually another example of 'Rebate Ripoff?' Hopefully it is the first, and all will soon see it fixed to the satisfaction of both current and future customers.
I honestly don't believe that this product's quality check should be caught up in the same aftermath as is now the subject, but, I was asked for an overall review and, no matter how you look at it OCZ Technology has the major responsibility for quickly addressing and resolving this matter. Hopefully this is what they will do for, as stated, I have made a repeat purchase. However if I encounter a repeat of the situation encountered during my initial MIR processing I can assure all that I will not return, again, no matter how nice the price.
However, for now, I shall reserve judgment and await my rebate - with 'bated breath.'
Sincerely,
Leroy Williams
