Pointclickers BEWARE!

[wantstuff]

If you purchase anything through pointclick.com and are expecting a check like I am ($100 to be exact). I would be cautious. I've been waiting for my check now and so I have emailed them about it. Evidentally they are having problems. Here is their reply:
PointClick would like to apologize for the delay in sending your reimbursement check. The checks were marked "Paid" in our system when they shouldn't have been. During this time of transition, please understand that the things PointClick is dealing with now are similar to what most startup companies deal with. We are working hard to put things in place so you can be paid as quickly as possible and so there will not be delays in the future. We will keep you informed as things develop regarding payment of your check.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Sincerely,

PointClick
Customer Support

I agree to be very cautious of them until they begin to pay, but at the same time let's give them a chance and see if they come through.

Here's the deal with pointclick.com. I just got off the phone with the Manager of Customer service and he did confirm that pointclick hasn't mailed any checks in the past 3-4 weeks. They don't have the funding to mail out any checks at all. However, he did say that people waiting for checks will receive them for sure but didn't know exactly when. He kinda mentioned next month (October). They are hoping to secure additional funding by then. If you are a pointclicker and are expecting a check, then you will have to wait. If you are looking at buying something through them. You may want to wait until this problem gets resolved. Just wanted everyone to know.

The problem that most startups deal with is: CASHFLOW

Well, as long as cyberrebates.com doesn't go through the same problem cycle.

Got my Point Click check today - it was dated 8/17/2000

[randyl]

Sumgai, Let me guess, the check was valid for 30 days from date of issue?

[dealseer]

Mine is valid through the end of November...

[eolivr]

I got my check yesterday for $132.84 dated 8/17/2000 too. Valid for 60 days though. I like!

[CarpeDiem]

Got mine today, dates 09/17/2000 as well. Better late then never!

I am satisfied with the way pointclick handled my situation. I just got my $33 check from the P3 700 cB0 chip that I ordered several weeks ago from... oh I forget where... but you know what I am talking about.
