    Hi. I don't believe that can happen but you should be able to cancel and reorder with new price.

    Worth a shot but they will probably just tell you to cancel and reorder. Is the price difference actually $500? Because they tend to jack them up then put them on sale.

    Talking with them now and hes said they can as long as its the exact same which it is. Hes got me on hold verifying the specs are identical. Think im good to go. Kick ass $500 off! Its $500 yes but canadian, "Spring cleanout sale"

    EDIT** Forgot I got a $150 discount off my warranty so he said they wont work together. They are not giving me the full $500 however I am getting $350 plus the tax difference back ($372). Works for me! Awesome, pays to check my order status 10x a day lmao. Now if it would just switch from "Work in Progress" to "Shipped" lol.

    Hi.

    So, I'm guessing you ordered the 7820HK/GTX 1080/new QHD screen ?

    I ordered the same yesterday (Canada) because of the discount. Here's how it worked out for me:

    $500 off base price (unlike some of their other promotions, this one was actually a discount)
    $150 off coupon code
    $187 cash back from ebates canada
    $241 back in Dell Reward dollars
    $170 off extended warranty promo (4 years premium warranty(hardware/software) plus 4 years accidental damage)
    $53 cash back from credit card

    My ship date isn't for another 3 weeks though.

    ** EDIT So the backpacks back ordered until the 17th, canceling and ordering to through bestbuy.ca they have it in stock. Its really too bad I cant wait because Dell offered me a further discount of $20. Working away sucks!!! Lol

    So I harrassed Dell again and getting the full $500+tax refund. Just had to send them screen shots of the 500 and 150 discounts working together.

    150$ off promo code is $150OFF$1700PC if anyone wants.

    Works with current "Spring cleaning" sale on Dell.ca.

    Enjoy!
