Mail in rebates...

New Zealand - The land of the long white cloud
Im not sure if this is even the right forum to post this in (mods, feel free to shift it if not)
Im from New Zealand and am travelling to th US later this year (September). Ive noticed ALOT of the stuff Im wantin for my rig is ALOT cheaper off newegg but alot of that depends on the mail in rebates.
My question is; Does anybody know, If I order the stuff I want and have it delivered to a friend of mine in the states for me to pick up, will the rebates still apply if I mail them in?

Rebate payments are usually handled by a 3rd-party firm which has no other connection to the company that sold the product, so guess who sometimes ends up getting squeezed in the middle?
I'm not saying that you will get screwed out of a rebate, but should something go wrong and you get to the point that your only recourse is to file a claim in a US court, you will find that doing so is a whole lot easier for your friend in the states than it is for you in NZ.
