He's correct actually, at least from my experience.

Example: Free shipping on system purchase of $400 or more. If a system has original price of $415, and is on sale for $365, you still get free shipping because the original price was at least $400.
Example: 15% off systems priced $1000 or more. If the original price is $1050, and sale price is $850, you can still use the 10% off b'c original price was >$1000.

According to the screenshot of his invoice, he did get free shipping.

I don't have any problem with Dell. I rather like them. But their phone system sucks. Luckily all my dealings are corporate and we have direct lines to support.

Although, I am beginning to wonder if we should be switching to another vendor for laptops. These new silver laptops just keep getting worse in my opinion... they moved both the hard drive and pcmcia/smartcard underneath the left palm rest, so some people complain about the vibration from the HD, and it gets really hot if you put a pccard in.

I got my new Inspiron 700m in today with a Cell card and i noticed how hot it gets just from loading up the programs i need for when I am on call. Oh and it takes 1-5 days to activate the card, WTF??? When i got my Tmobile phone it was active when i walked out of walmart. The wide screen display is super sharp, its very light and the extend life battery lasted 5 hours, The keyboad is somewhat cramped but i wont be doing too much typing. Tomorrow on my way to my kids soccer game ill be sniffing out unsecured wireless networks.

Good night guys. I'm checking in here tomorrow to see more of this self-ownage.

Ok, let me walk you guys through because you seem to be a little slow even with a nice little picture to look at.


The "Unit Price" for the speakers is $349.95, but Dell has a special that brings it down to $297.46.

OMG I GUESS THE $35 off $300 COUPON NO LONGER WORKS HUH??????

You can plainly see that it works. Eligibility of coupons is determined by the INITIAL RETAIL PRICE, not a discounted price.

And you didn't see this before you processed the order? I don't know of any e-commerece that doesn't tell you the exact total while checkout.

Originally posted by: iamtrout
$249.56 - $35 off ($300 order, which it was BEFORE all discounts) = $214.56

That's your problem right there. How do you expect to get $35 off $300 if the final total isn't $300?

Once again...

lol pwned

Are you guys stupid? Yes, I believe you guys are. Reread what you just quoted from me. Reread again. See that $300 order, which it was BEFORE all discounts?

For you idiots who don't understand, coupons are applied to prices BEFORE any kind of sales price is introduced. The total price BEFORE all sales was over $300 (hence the reason for the filler, but I don't expect you guys to understand), therefore the coupon WORKS. The $250 is only after other discounts that Dell applied themselves.

 
I'm still confused as to where you go these #'s:

Z-5500 Digital Speaker System........$239.20
FlyFan USB Fan (filler)......................$10.36

Sub-Total........................................$249.56

Are those prices special quotes from DPA's only?

I must be really slow then.
Where did you get $297.46 from?
Why did you list $249.56 and where does that number come from?

All these different numbers are just confusing.
 
i hate dell too, they keep cancling every order i place. It has happned last 4 times, and no one knows why.

dell is one character away from hell!! coincidence?? I think noT!
