Ronin, I'm not sure on the answer to your question, but if you call the local dell customer service, and post back with an answer, I will gladly update the Original post with the information for others. Sorry I can't be of further help.

Aftermath91 you can sign up for coupons at:
Employee Purchase Program (EPP) E-Mail Subscription Center

Dell Home and Home Office Subscription Center.

EDIT: Original post updated with the above links. thanks Aftermath91 for the excellent question promting me to do the research. +1

thanx for the links. So can anyone use the EPP coupons or are there some special requirements?

[DR650SE]

EPP is reserved for students, and people who work for companies that have an EPP contract with Dell. They also include family members of people who work for companies in the EPP program. I think as far as the coupons are concerned, anyone can use them. If your unsure, just give the code to the sales rep and don't bother discussing the EPP thing, unless your calling the EPP line. They should honor it either way.

Hey at least I got free expedited shipping, and I'm not paying MSRP.


Come to think about it I should have asked for some free stuff!

@tears I am sailing in the same boat with you for the discount part and NBD shipping.

I just orderd today, and it says "In Production". Here's hoping that I get it within the next 2 weeks.

EDIT: Wrong thread....

[Pmode]

does anyone else have problems with talking to their original rep? mines is never there, or its always answer machine.

[Pmode]

IM TRIPPING OUT GUYS O_O when i call to see my "real" order status the machine says order processing, but the dell site says "in production" WHO DO I BELIEVE!?!

[apt2l]

@Pmode: I had a hard time getting to my original rep too. I simply called the EPP sales number and used option "3". This connected me to a new rep where I explained the situation to the new rep. I mentioned that I left a voicemail and email for my original rep but she never called. On this the new rep said that she will have her call me back within an hour and so she did. Let me know if it helps. You can give me a +rep if it does
Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.
