Drat, here's what I got about an hour after placing my order: ---------- Thank you for placing your order with Gateway Accessories Store. The following item from your order is currently on backorder. While we cannot deliver the item as quickly as anticipated, we expect to deliver within 30 days. For your convenience, we will alert you by email as soon as additional information is available. ---------- Now I'm going to have to figure out if I cancel the order. If they send a receipt dated the day it ships, it will most likely be outside of the rebate period.
