    Hi, I'm from Canada and I want to get a fabulous Dell (either the 9300 or the xps2). The only problem is that coupons won't apply to the dell.ca site. And in bonus, there are really screwing up canadians. On the US site you can upgraded to 2GB ram with 375, on the canada site, you must go to a 1000$!!!!! That's insane. Even after money conversion it goes to 441 to upgrade instead of a 1000$.

    So, i just want to know if someone know if you can order from dell.com and ship somewere else than in the states? Or does anybody have something like a trick to be able to get this?

    Thx.

    I don't think that dell.com would ship to Canada since they have a Canadian site. Also if you were able to get them to ship it you would still have to pay PST/GST and duty so it may not save you too much money.

    nobody upgrades ram via the oem. you buy it with the smallest amount possible and then upgrade it afterwards.
