[Kev]

how does the fedex shipping work?? do i need to set up shipping on their site, or just put my account info in at checkout? What exactly do I type as carrier name and method of delivery? i dont wanna screw this up

Time to go take a shower and go to bed. Good nite everyone. Sweet dreams and as usual dont sweat too much on the deal. If it good its good, all we need to do is be there to take it when it comes. Otherwise, ops we will be screwed. Rogue rebates are the worst enemies of Deal hunters. You cant do anything, you cant use your charm, or whatever ferengi skills that you have accumulated over the years.


Now, I couldnt get hold of my friend, I think that, I have given up the hopes on him.


GOOD NITE.

Here's the original FW thread that i got this deal from

PWNED

 

[EvilYoda]

I was just gonna IM you ross, and then you left.

Okay....just put the order in, but now I'm concerned about something that someone said at FW...do the order confimation emails actually say the time of the purchase? Someone said that the rebates would go by the time of the email/confirmation...sounds stupid, I know, but $710 in rebates is kind of important.

 

[Kev]

how does the damn fedex shipping work?!?!?

 

[GtPrOjEcTX]

T - 25 minutes for the people who haven't gotten in on it yet.

 

[thawolfman]

It's so long to wait for so much though

 

[GtPrOjEcTX]

btw, I got my confirmation email saying

My brother is attending CalPoly Pomona in CA. He is in on this deal right?

please reply

 

[Bullhonkie]

Boy I'd jump on this in a heartbeat if I were eligible.

I informed a friend of mine attending UCLA and he jumped on it at least. Good luck to all of you who are getting in on it, lucky bastages!

 

[FordLorider]

Ok so apparently one of the 50 times I signed up for the FedEx registration it actually worked, but the email I received said that I should be getting another with the 10% discount.
"By now, you should have received online confirmation of your eligibility to save 10% on online express shipments." UM NO!!!!! So does anyone know how to get your account number if you are able to log in?

 

[Gruson]

My cousin is in college and I will be getting it for her <wink> .

That is ok, right?

 

[RyceBoy]

Please reply. Is there anything I am suppose to do to verify that my brother is a student at CalPoly?

Thanks

for the love of god, how does the fedex shipping work?

 

[WiseOne]

create a fedex ground account and use your account number while checking out @ dell under choose your own shipper or something.

I haven't done it, but it looks like you create an account with FedEx here then after you add the computer to your shopping cart click "Estimate Shipping and Tax" then select "Use my own designated carrier:" and fill in your information.

 

[FordLorider]

I hear that, someone please help us with this FedUp stuff! Well I had to obviously order without using the FedEx savings. I am hoping that I can call them once someone tells us how it works and change the shipping information. I would love to know how to get your account number though.

 

[GtPrOjEcTX]

for the shipping, what i did...dont' know if its right

signed up at the link at fedex, they give you a number

I used this number when using my own carrier and for the method I just typed, Fedex Standard Overnight.

who knows if that's right but its what I did.

FedEx shipping works as follows:

Once you sign up w/ FedEx, you get a nine digit acct number. When you complete your order at Dell, they allow you to check a box, specifying your own shipper (in this case, FedEx.) You provide them with that nine digit number, as well as the specific "service" you require/desire from Fred's people over at FedEx ("GROUND" is the service you desire = cheap.) You will then be billed directly for the shipping by FedEx, as you have to provide a credit card, etc. when you sign up with them (FedEx.) Hope that helps -

This deal will self destruct in 9 minutes

 

[FordLorider]

Where does the account number come from. I can get to My FedUp Homepage but where does the # come from, an email or from the website?

Thanks...I typed "FedEx Ground" in the service type because I was sick of waiting for an answer here...will that still go through?

can't find it, it was probably some stupid mistake of mine.. Don't mind me

But I still dont' think that the rebate is for ALL schools... Again I could be wrong, it's just a gut feeling..

It's not for all schools but certain schools qualify if they're affiliated with dell...some hints to figure this out include reading through 48 pages on the FW thread(LOL if you have that much time) or maybe calling dell and asking =P Also, some hints would be that your college store sells only dells =P
