Got a pretty good deal out of Dell

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 
Guess calling them sometimes can make quite a differenc. I called 2 days ago to order my 9300 (Belgium) with a 1.87ghz cpu, 60gb hd, 1024mb ram, WUXGA+ and 6800go. List price was about 2.200€, I got it for 1.985€ including 1 year next day on site support + free shipping. Was very happy with that.

I though what the heck, and tried calling the today asking if I could get a XPS2 for a mere 100€ extra. They said that my 9300 is already in production, but could try cancelling it and if that works, I'll get the XPS2 for 2.100€ including shipping! That's about 400€ less than what I would pay by ordering through their site!!

I'll know in about 1,5 hours if this deal is accepted or not. If they can still cancel the 9300, I'll get the XPS2. Talk about a good deal eh! Only factor I might be worried about a little is that my 9300 was already in production, but the XPS2 could take quite a bit longer (I hope it'll go into production soon enough...)

(mind, coupons and low US prices are NOT available here)

So your 9300 is already in production? Hmm... I ordered mine on March 25th and my expected ship date is now April 27th, moving forward each day! Part availability in Ireland seems to be the problem.

that's what they told me on the phone, no idea if it's true. I haven't got confirmation back yet, but I do notice that SOMETHING has changed because the webpage for following the order now shows an error that the order no is found but no information can be found about it. guess my Dell saleswoman is in the process of cancelling it and re-ordering the xps2 for me

bummer! just got an email from Dell that they cannot deliver me the XPS2 for that low price (only had an agreement over the phone) and that they charged me 2.482€!!! I immediately called to say I don't agree and if they won't give me the XPS2 for that price, that they can deliver me the 9300 like we agreed before... They said they'd fix this, but now I get an error on the order watch page that the order is found but no tracking information is available! DAMN!

Sounds like the rep on the phone overextended her deal making guidelines.
