AW/DELL Ordering Advice - How to save $$$

[fiveoneooo]

can anyone pm a good reps info please. Thanks in advance

[FiReBReTHa]

My rep is still handing out discounts if anyone is interested, PM me.

Might take up to 2 days to reply since I work double full time jobs right now, but I've received some replies thus far and people have been very, very happy.

US-only, please ...unless you're a Canadian picking it up in the US or if anyone is having it forwarded from a US address, then to another country.

Only works on US-addresses.

Cheers.

(answered about 40 PM's so far ...but I know what it feels like being tight on money. I will not be monitoring this thread so shoot me a pm)

Gracias! dropping you a PM now, appreciate you lendin out a hand.

So I can budget, any rough tip on what kind of cost savings he has been able to hook up? TIA

I haven't had any success with a lowering of the M14x price..
The one in the "featured promotions" is already 100$ off, plus a 50$ cupon that floats around on the internet, and a 4% epp got me from 1399$ (w/o tax) to 1320$ with tax. He says he can't take any more off.. should I call another rep?

[hizzaah]

as others have said, there's not a whole lot goin on as far as discounts atm.. supposedly their back to school sale stuff starts the 22nd. that would be the best time to try again (when somethin pops up relating to alienware that is..)

unless you get really, really lucky with a rep, you can't expect a huge discount to fall into your lap when there isn't some sort of promotion going on. even if a rep gives you a big discount, there's a chance it wont be approved by their management and your order will get cancelled.

since it's a few weeks until back to school time, you can either use this free time to call a shat load of reps to see if you can get a good deal, or you can find something constructive to do to occupy you until the next discount season starts

Yeah, just wait for the back to school sale. Like most folks, reps like to also take the path of least resistance so having to go back to a manager for every discount is a pain in the for them too, especially if they might not even get the sale (which equals $0 commission).

It'd be nice if they had a save $400 on xfire (bundled) sale and tack on another 20-30% on top of that with the rep!

Certainly possible with the Canadian xfire being only $150 more.

Dell.ca changes the discount on M18X today.....at same price you get 8GB 1333mhz 2 dimm more ram VS Dual 6970m CF......M17X/M14X/M11X they also remove the discount of paying 3 yr warranty for 4yrs warranty.

Hey guys i was going threw the forum and couldn't find and posts about discounts for the M17x r3. My alienware died on my so I'm planing on purchasing my 3rd laptop from them. Do any of you know and good discounts or ways i can save about 200-250 off from a total of 1,750 for the R3 model. I'm on a strict budget and cant go past $1,567. All i want is the default settings for the 17.3x laptop but after tax and shipping it comes out to $1,753.98. I would really appreciate and help you guys can give me and thanks for your time to reply to my post. Also if you try to message me it won't go threw because i am new to this forum
