Conair, who manufactures hair dryers and similar small appliances,
makes heavy use of rebates.  Their whole price structure relies upon
the fact that their return rate is only about 20%.  I kind of like this,
because it means that the people who don't get their act togther to
claim the rebate are subsidizing my purchases.  (Now where did I leave
that receipt...)
