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

[redhidus]

dude! i got my deal 3 days back.. Its just u got to be at rite place at rite time..
(check ur pm.. maybe he might help u..no guarantees )
and yup! u are right abt that.. i mean mac is cool.. but its waaay overpriced..
i feel all apple products are overpriced.. they market on style factor. Franckly i ll go with m11x even if i dont get discount..

[tears]

I didn't get a screaming deal, but my rep REALLY sped up my order, and even honored an expired coupon. My EDD is ...wait for it....3/10/2010. And I ordered on the 3rd.

Needless to say, I think my rep did a good job despite the not so hot price.

whatever.. u ll still get the monster before I get mine
try to call ur rep in 1 or 2 days and ask him for Next day shipping.. (be prepared with some good story )

[santa-u2]

If u guys want i can give u a rep's contact.. but not sure if he ll give u the same deal. but maybe its worth a try.
PM me if u want his details..
Thts not the rep from whom i bought mine as my rep dont want to give his details. But this guy also offered me some good deal.
(u may need like 10 posts or more to receive pm so check that out..)

that will be awesome if you could share this information with me.

I tried one more time!!!

This time I was lucky enough to get an American rep. But I couldnt get anymore discounts. I tried using the coupons provided by Redhidus and Pmode but they were expired
He said he couldnt even give me a deal as good as my previous sales rep gave me which really sucked.

How much do you save when you get NBD shipping?

I have some coupons in my email, I'll link them.

I think it may be for EPP only though, not sure.
$799-$999 save $50 B$3P43H746K$SR
Above $999 save $75 M3FMJZ4?G4V?WQ
They expired the 4th but maybe you can get lucky.

Also try signing up for the EPP email, they might have another offer for $50 off for this month.


My order hit boxing stage today according to the call in order status. Ordered on 2/23, but the estimated ship date is 3/23... hopefully it gets here faster than that.

@steelcurtain the coupons I was trying to use expired on 4th. The rep said they expired midnight. So he couldnt do anything with that coupon. Did you end up getting a cool deal as Redhidus?

That was pretty fast to get to the boxing stage. Hopefully mine gets to it fast too.

I got the M15x with the i7-720qm, 260m, 3gb 1333mhz, 250gb HD, and 1 year accidental warranty for $1600 shipped. I used a $50 coupon, 10% EPP, and got $75 off from the rep. She wouldn't budge for NBD though.

I jsut told her about all the troubles I've been having with the reps and their online chat ( i got my discounts through the online chat from her) and told her that if I don't get a good deal today then I'm not going to order from their company, but if I could then I'd order from her right away. Try to get your config to end up like $80 or so from the nearest 100th dollar. So like with tax and such it'd end up at $1680 , after coupons and such. Then tell her " If you can make that an even $1600 then I'll order right now from you". That worked for me, take up their time and suck up. They'll eventually work with you.
