There seems to be intel emerging that there may be no UPC on the box for these laptops. Anyone got suggestions on how to handle that?

When I did this deal 4 months ago, I scanned the bottom of my laptop and sent in the "barcode" on the side of the box. My rebate was rejected for no UPC, but a 5 minute phonecall to the rebate center cleared it up and I received my check 2 weeks afterwards.

I ordered a BTO HP ZE4000 and I am expecting it to arrive this week.

I hope that it has a UPC to make things easier but Homeslice might have the best idea for submitting in this case.
