I can't seem to get the Dell deal to work, Everytime I enter the 15% coupon code from the back of the dell catalog it seems to take away the 20% coupon. Any ideas?

look on the 15% coupon and in small print you will see "may not combine with any other offer"

TWO OPTIONS FOR DELL:

1. Dell Small Business: 24% + tax + ship ~$228 + tax + ship

2. Dell Home: 10% + free ship + no tax ~$270

Thanks Cheap Arse, I looked in the fine text but it doesn't state that I can't combine with other coupons.

Same here. Interstingly, they havent charged my credit card yet. I would really like to cancel my order and buy from Gateway (since I need the camera soon), but I am not sure what to do now.

It is 300 at Gateway, but I happen to have a 50 off (one time use) coupon that they must have sent to former customers. Last time I bought a Gateway was about 5 years ago, but I got it in the mail. And their site says they will ship in 3 days (as oppsed to Dell, which says 2 weeks).

So normally, Gateway is not a hot deal, it just happens to be for me. Sorry.

I have to ask. What the hell time does UPS come that you're still sleeping?!

I got up for work at something like 2:30, and he had already been here. Usually they leave it at the rental office, and I even signed a waiver saying it was ok. I guess he didn't feel like going over there.

About the batteries, my roommate has a Rayovac charger. I could just buy some batteries for that, but I don't think it's NiMH. As far as budget.. there's not really any budget, but I would rather have something I could buy at a store instead of ordering online.

Dell deal is definately a no go as the 15% coupon they mailed me is not stackable.

? and...so what

right now dell has an auto 20% at SB plus someone would have to be stupid to not be able to find a 5% stackable off the rest for a total, so 24% off anything in SB + tax + shipping

or dell home has an auto 10% off with free shipping and no tax.

thats

dell sb ~228 + tax + shipping
dell home ~ $270

Call me stupid, but the only one's i've found are one time use ones. Are there public ones available? I checked the techy deal site and chubby billfold place but no public ones:(

Ok. I placed two orders to Dell.

1) Small business: Canon A70 $299 + Kingston 256 CF $57.XX + Tax + free shipping - 20%( can't stack other coupn on it) - $20MIR = $289

2) Home & home office: Canon A70 $299 + Kingston 256 CF $ 57.XX + free shipping - 10% - $30 ( off when buy over $350) - $20 = $277

Just email small business I am cancelling my order.

The home office deal looks better.

Just got a confirmation email from OfficeMax this morning saying that my order will be shipped within 24 hours. I placed my order on last Saturday morning for those who are wondering. Thanks to all for this deal. :)

Hmmm, calling people stupid. Very nice.

That auto thing must have expired yesterday then, because you go to Dell, Small Business, software & periphs, cameras, 3 mega pixel, filter by canon, select a70, add to cart, still $299.

Do you have to go through a link to get that "auto" 20%?

Hey, funny I mentioned it! Yup, expired yesterday.

Good afternoon, got my A70 but the CF is nowhere to be seen. Anyways, I like how this camera looks.
Quick question, which performs better, A70 or the Nikon Coolpix 885? TIA for any help.

I got mine last night. Now it's time to return it because I was advised to pick up the coolpix 4500. Now I gotta wait some more to play with my toy:(

its dead now, but you are essentially right, as all the 5% were one time use, but a couple dozen people were given them out at FW. When in doubt, google is your friend.

Sucks. Gave the camera for a present and lens won't close. Says E18. I gues sits an error code. Searche son th eInternet show this seems to be a common problem with Canon. Luckily I'm still within 30 days so I can return it for them. Anyone have this happen?
