View 7 RepliesI just wasted 45 minutes trying to get a discount or free delivery or student discount or the EPP thing over the phone, anything!
But they wouldnt throw me a bone, i think it might be because i always get put through to the india call centres
Has anyone had any luck getting dell to upgrade anything because of shipping delay? Or offer discounts?
Specifically, I am thinking about trying to convince them to upgrade my warranty. I ordered a studio 17. the basic warranty is 1 year limited warranty with 1 year return to depot service. This is included in the base price. When I placed my order i upgraded (for $198 CND) to the 2 year limited warranty, with 2 year return to depot service, lojack+ accidental damage service.
I have been given the usual order delayed bullcrap like most of you. But is it possible to use this to get them to upgrade it to the 2 year NBD onsite service, lojack, and accidental? ($80 value over my original 2 year return to depot)
I am going to give it a shot this week when I can manage to find the time to sit on hold for a few hours. I will let you know what comes of it.
Anyone try anything similar? share your results
Do you actually have to be a Dell employee or student, or are there ways to get it even if you're not?

How did you get your discount?
Im not eligible for the Dell epp so im going to have to go in guns blazing and twist some arms
I will be buying a new laptop in Sep. and I would like to know if there is a list of schools and there codes for the student discount...
I am going to Davenport University and I have looked at the Dell University website and do not see it listed. I was told to call 1-800-695-8133 by the chat help because "not all schools are listed". When I called, the person I talked to did not understand what I wanted to know and got frustrated with me and placed me on eternal hold... So after sitting here like an idiot for a half hour waiting for her to get back I decided to call Davenport ... They have no idea what the code is.
So here I am ... Maybe there is someone out there going to Davenport University in Michigan and knows the code or maybe there is a list of the codes somewhere...
I've got my new laptop coming from either Lenovo (a ThinkPad) or Dell (a Latitude). But Lenovo is making it very easy these days. It seems they have a new coupon code on their website every day.
Using their codes I can get a better-equipped 15-inch notebook from Lenovo than I can from Dell. What I like about the Lenovo codes is you can use them on any purchase.
Am I missing something? Where are the Dell deals? I've clicked on a couple of deal links on this site but I'm taken to regular Dell 'specials' landing pages which offer the same price as their non-deal pages.
Okay so I'm trying to buy the Dell Latitude E6400 for college and I'm trying to use the 28% discount even though through my college I get a 7%. I rather get a 28% instead of 7%.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm about to order a Studio 15. It looks like the EPP exclusive one is easily the best deal, but I'm waiting to see if a 10% coupon comes out. I've seen older post where people mention usiing them. So I've got two questions:
1) Do the coupons stack with the 7% off discount?
2) How often do these coupons come out?
I know that Dell is known for always/usually having a lot of great coupon codes, but 25% does seem outstanding.
So for those of you who keep a closer eye on Dell than I do - is this degree of discount normal or unusual for Dell? In fact, is there any time of year that tends to be the "best" to get a Dell?
I'm probably not going to take advantage of this discount, but I'm still curious for future purposes. I'm trying to hold out on getting a new machine as long as possible - ideally, until Windows 7 comes preinstalled and perhaps until the new Intel chips/platforms come out...
I've stayed away from McAfee and Norton for years, so I don't even know what an annual subscription to their virus definitions even costs anymore, BUT Dell's pushing a 1-year subscription McAfee subscription for $79, and 3-years for $99. Comparing the two makes the 3-year subscription look like a pretty good deal. Is it? Cnet seemed to like this latest release, but I don't know how much stock to put in that.
Is $99 for 3 years a good deal, and is McAfee Security Center even any good? Could I get a comparable deal buying/upgrading the subscription after purchasing the computer, or is getting it pre-installed on the Dell pretty much the only way to get it at that price?
I order mine on Tuesday and they "shipped" yesterday...
FedEx say they don't have it because when they went to pick it up, the system was not there...
Dell, as always, dont have any idea where it is...and since the call center in far away from here, they cant call the warehouse to ask if the system left the building or not!
I just recently ordered a dell studio 17 with
core i7 720
900p screen
4gb ram
500hd
4650 radeon
I placed the order 12/6/2009 but the estimated arrival time is 1/4/2010
Is a month normal?
I ordered a customized studio 15 directly from dell on july 18th with a design studio lid.
It shows it is scheduled to be delivered on august 11th but it still shows it as in production on dells website when i log in.
I was just wondering if that sounds right or if i should give dell a call?
I was pleased to order this laptop recently from Dell: ........

View 9 Replies View Relatednotice that many people on dell forums are complaing about a very large delay in shipping certain computers.
I know the XPS laptops are being delayed right now. So Make sure that you know if your model will be affected by the delay.
Mothers computer had been ordered around the 8th of december. orriginally the ship date was before christmas. later that had been extended to the 18th of january and now its nearly into febuary.
If I buy a laptop from the outlet and select next business day shipping for $69
If I decide to return it for a 100% refund, will dell refund the shipping

So for the upcoming school year I purchased an 17' Inspiron notebook (upgraded some components such as graphics card, procceser etc) online on the first of august. I was very surprised when I recieved an email that said the est. ship date was the 17th of august, est. arrival date the 21st! I probably would have just bought a labtop retail at a store somewhere if I had known it would take three weeks for it to arrive!
My question (to those who have purchased dell notebooks in the past or recentely) is whether or not it really takes that long for the notebook to arrive at your doorstep or in fact its not as long. I figure because its summer, maybe they're backed up a bit?
Just had a quick question. How long does it usually take for the replacement system to be shipped, and is it overnight shipping with tracking?
Dell kinda left me in the dark on this one...
Also, I had a upper range m1210, might I get an m1330 as the replacement?
Its on laptopsdirect.co.uk

Just under 3 years ago I bought an Inspiron 6400 and it came with a free upgrade to a 3 year warranty, I'm so glad about that now.
This week the screen on my Inspiron stopped working so dell is now replacing it with a XPS M1530, A very nice upgrade
when I got my E6400 from DELL outlet, it does not come with Windows Discs, so I did a request on line for the product .....
View 10 Replies View RelatedI am considering the Dell Vostro 1520 as a laptop but I am confused about the windows upgrade option (I would get Vista Home Premium to be able to get it as a start). Here's a link to the page:
http://www.dell.com/us/en/business/n...20&s=bsd&cs=04
I was under the initial impression that any dell laptop sold in the few months before Win 7 released would be eligible for the free upgrade.
But when I look in the lineup there's one that says "Windows 7 ready" for an extra $140?? Is that the only one that gets the free upgrade? It's not really free then and why not just buy it separately?
Does anyone else have a problem registering for the free upgrade to windows 7. Whenever I try to validate my service tag it says I should wait 10 days because my order might not be in the system. I order my E6400 early mid July. And it also says my system isn't eligible when it is.
I've chatted with a Dell person online and he was no help. He just gave me a number to call. I called that number and I had to talk to a lady with an Indian accent that didn't understand what I was saying. And I got transfer a couple times until some guy gave me a number to call, but I couldn't because they were closed or something. Now I call that number and they give me another number to call. Everyone keeps saying "I am not trained to handle this issue."
