Dell currently has a coupon code that knocks off the price down by 170$, but not on the canadian site.
Is it possible to purchase the dell from the US site and ship it to canada without having to pay duty fees? Or should I just wait for the deal to show up on the Canadian site.
I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to post this, but I desperately need to vent. On January 6th, I ordered a new 1645 with a Core i7 720 and an RGBLED. It was set to be delivered on the 28th, but it was then pushed back, then cancelled, then Dell re-opened a new identical order, set to be delivered on the 24th of February. I found a really nice Dell Outlet 1645 with a i7 820 in it for 80 bucks less than what I would have paid for the i720. Ordered it, waited a week, nothing. Turns out there was some sort of glitch on my address. (I moved in July, changed all my addresses, but it still hadn't gotten through apparently.) So, I call their silly phone number, and they tell me I have to call them with a PIN number they're going to mail me, fine, whatever. A week has passed and still no mail, nothing. I look at my order status tonight and Dell has now CANCELED this order without TELLING me. I am about to lose my mind. Meanwhile the 15% off Dell outlet coupon is now expired, and there are no longer any XPS 16's in the Outlet... *sigh*... I'm trying to give this company my hard-earned money and they are just making this entire process BEYOND frustrating. I've hoped and hoped that I'd see my laptop shipped since the beginning of January to no avail... Has anyone else had trouble with this sort of thing? I'm THIS close to never ordering another Dell again, I'm so fed up with this entire broken system.
View 10 Replies View RelatedIt's been 24 hours since I ordered a laptop at Dell and I still haven't received an order confirmation, is that normal? I did get the receipt that my order has been received, but no confirmation mail, when I log in to see the status, the system finds nothing.
Is this normal after 24 hours?
I was configuring a Vostro 1720 and the only version of Windows 7 Professional available is 32bit. If I were to order more than 3GB of ram .....
View 3 Replies View RelatedI talked to a nice gentleman from Dell on Friday and am going to "seal the deal". I decided against an Outlet model to avoid any potential problems and my Mom, who is the one really buying it agrees.
The Dell rep recommended the standard Dell 1510 a/g/n card. He said the Intel wasn't really going to give me better performance just cost more for the Intel name.
I did notice the Intel 5300 has more data throughput. In real world, does it make much of a difference? I don't think the laptop will be used to watch streaming video or gaming over the WiFi connection, but what would be a reason to pay the extra for the Intel 5300 over the Dell 1510?
Anyone got the name and ID of the Canadian rep that served you via phone? Did they give you good offers?
The best I've been offered is either $25 off or free $40 backlight keyboard..
I'm about to order an E6400 from the dell outlet and was wondering if you all have any advice before i order.
I want to upgrade the memory and HD, but i dont know what to buy exactly.
I want 4 gb of RAM, and the quietest and most inexpensive HD that is 250 or 320gb that I can get. I assume that a 5400rpm is quieter than a 7200rpm drive. Any ideas?
So if you have followed my system you know what I have gone through, if not just know that it's in the UPS system making its way back to Dell.
I'm planning on re-ordering either before or after I receive my refund, but before would only be possible if I can get my system down to ~2500.
My original system is below in my signature for $2453.00 (includes tax + shipping) .....
I went through almost all sites looking for relevant information about dell Canada delays between order and shipment. Nothing entresting
Why don't we make ours?
Does anyone know how to get the backlit keyboard on xps16 when ordering online??
Because ive looked, but theres no option to add it.
Outlet shipping to Canada?
View 10 Replies View RelatedBeen looking for a replacement for my d430 and have been considering the adamo or e4200/4300.
In some cases, the prices of these models are up to 80% more expensive in canada than in the US. What gives? I expect to pay a bit of a premium in Canada but this is rediculous.
Does anyone have any clue why this would be the case or does it just suck to be canadian sometimes?
Is it possible to get this upgrade in Canada? The sales reps I spoke to said no but I read on another thread that someone else managed to get it... is it just a matter of insisting?

View 8 Replies View RelatedDell Canada shows the base price of the E4300 has increased from about $1,920 CDN to $2,140 CDN, or just over 10%. That seems very odd to me, given the general economic situation and the number of problems Dell has had with the E4300.

When i will find a way to order a swiss-german language keyboard (not same than the german keyboard), then i could order my Notebook from anywhere, and do the work by myself, but have to fight with warranty trouble.
I can live with warranty trouble
Does someone have me an adress for ordering keyboards in other languages?
What happened the Vaio TZ in Canada. For the longest time I never say it, then it appeared for a couple of days and now its gone again. I kind of prefer it over the TT.
Did anyone else notice the price jump for the only Vaio TT model offered in Canada. I remember it being 1999.99 before but now its jumped up to 2299.99? I swear the specs didn't change, at least not $300 worth?
Do you think Sony will refresh some of their Vaio notebook computers before Fall 2009?
The only place I found it was on sonystyle.ca.

I delayed my purchase for 1 day and RGBLED is gone on the UK site for the XPS 16. same as the US as well!
Is this a shortage problem ?
They pulled Blu-Ray as well from the uK site a while ago.
Regarding WLED screens are they covered in hard plastic as well?
Well my XPS M1330 finally succumbed to the nvidia gpu flaw. I called Dell on Sunday afternoon (it's now Weds AM) and within 20 minutes with tech support had arranged for on site repair.
Well Monday came and went, no call from the local tech to schedule my repair. Contacted Dell chat support yesterday (Tues) morning and within 10 minutes after checking on my status the rep said I should receive a call by end of business day. The rep then connected me to a supervisor for a quick survey...supervisor asked me some small talk questions and then gave me a # to call direct regarding my in home repair (800-654-1853). So now this morning, no call so I gave the # a jingle...it is some company named "Bangtech"? Gave them my Dell Dispatch # and the lady there told me they haven't received the replacement part yet (new mobo). I explained today is now the 3rd day, she put me on hold, then came back and said they anticipate delivery today and I would receive a call by 5pm today to schedule.
My question is is this normal timing? My Dell dispatch says "NBD". I figured it would be Tues for the repair since I called Sunday afternoon and nothing would probably get shipped/updated until Monday. At this point it's going to be Thursday at the earliest.
post today....FWIW

According to this driver site for 1645, most of the drivers are all up-to-date. Could I apply updates for my XPS 1640 here ?
i have a tz2000. i know people here have installed windows 7 on their TZs, but here's what sony's site officially says about the TZ and win 7:
"The hardware configuration of this model does not meet the minimum system requirements needed to run and provide the full experience of the Windows® 7 operating system.
Windows® 7 installation is not recommended and Sony will not be providing Windows® 7 drivers for this model."
so, my question, specifically for TZ owners, is, what is your experience? i had another thread trying to figure out whether to upgrade to 32 or 64 bit. but now, i'm not even sure if I should upgrade. (see my sig for my system specs)
edit: on sony's site, i selected my model...haven't used the autodetect. microsoft's win7 upgrade advisor tells me i can upgrade to 32-bit.
i have problem my video card 7900gs head site damage. 20min work i have 80C, mabye anybody have this head site and could sell to my or recomend how this problem resolve.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've been looking at the studio 1558 deal on the dell.ca website. The specifications say that the ram is 1333mhz, but on the customization page and review screen it says the ram is 1066mhz.
I'm looking at getting it with the i7 , so the ram speed matters. Which one is correct, the main site or the customization screen?
I may be wrong but it looks like dell ireland have increased all the prices in their small business site by 10%! The base prices are the same but upgrading anything is now 10% more expensive.
Just from looking at precision laptops.
Upgrade to 64bit os was 50 euro, now 55 euro.
Component example, yesterday it cost 440 euro to update the graphics card on a m6400 from a FX2700M to a FX3700M, today it costs 490 for the same upgrade
