Olympus E3 rebate question

[RobertB]

I'm really late sending my rebate form in - they count on people like me! The documentation on the forms (the written form mailed from Olympus and the pdf download) are both less than definitive on whether or not you actually need to cut the UPC off the camera box.

Since it appears Olympus placed the product code on the bottom of the box, where slicing it off will require some fair amount of repair to maintain a decent container for possible future shipment, I'm wondering if anyone managed a rebate without physically removing the code.

It does say "...the ORIGINAL UPC number from the product packaging", leaving me hope I might get away without surgery here.

Thanks,

Rob Davies

You do have to cut up the box and return the original UPC code.

Thanks!

If you have not done it yet, you do not actually have to cut through the box; just cut slightly into the box along the outline of the UPC and then lift off the UPC. The box will be intact.
