Do not buy KitchenAid mixers as a Christmas present or wedding present, if they offer still the rebate, as they do not honor it in good faith!
I bought one for a best friend's offspring's wedding and filled out all the required paperwork and sent in my copy of the receipt. I left the upc code on the box , in case the bride and groom wanted to exchange it, tho i was the only one on the registry.
After several months , i checked to see if the gifted couple had exchanged it and they had not, but KitchenAid would not give me, the purchaser , the rebate !! They said i lacked a upc code !! So the store got me one off an empty box and then KitchenAid said it was too late !! Such un-American deceitful behavior, as if this situation of gifting presents at weddings or Christmas had never happened before,,,
Let's teach KitchenAid the proper way for a super rich and powerful company to behave properly to it customers here in America ! Boycott KitchenAid for gifts !!
