      <description>&lt;p&gt;I ordered a monitor from &lt;a href=&#34;http://tigerdirect.com&#34;&gt;TigerDirect&lt;/a&gt; last week that included a $50 rebate in the box. I filled it in and mailed it. I have about a 50% success rate with actually receiving rebate checks when I buy something which is pretty sad.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Today I got an email from TigerDirect saying that they have received my rebate claim and they are processing it. WOW. It&amp;rsquo;s funny how a quick email can make a huge difference in the confidence level I have in a company.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;In stark contrast to my Vonage and Sprint customer service nightmares earlier today, I contacted &lt;a href=&#34;http://vmware.com&#34; title=&#34;VMWare&#34;&gt;VMWare&lt;/a&gt; support via the online tool. I got an email back in 7 minutes with the correct answer and the change was completed. Total time for my personal involvement was around 25 seconds and my problem was resolved asynchronously in less than 10 minutes.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
