    I was hoping to get the Dell Inspiron 9300 notebook with the $750 off coupon, however, when I try and apply the coupon on the Canada part of the website it doesn't seem to work. I tried on the US part of the website, and it works but then I can't get them to ship to me. Does anyone know if it's possible to get the coupon applied and get it shipped to Canada?


    Thanks in advance


    p.s. If I don't buy this right away will there be another $750 off coupon soon?

    yea we can't get those great deals here in canada..
    none of those $700-$750 coupons work on the dell.ca site..
    same goes for the 40% off coupons...
    for dell.ca you pretty much have to wait until you see the right price with the specs you want and hope for the best!
    you can google "dell canada coupons" and there will be some sites that have some coupons that are applicable to dell.ca, but sometimes its better to just go through dell.ca and not use those coupons with the link they provide..
    they get pretty sneaky with the pricing...
    and i tryd to go through dell.com to get a lappy, but was unsuccessfull.. i don't think its possible.. because thats why they have a dell.ca for canadian residents :(

    hope that helps.. :p

    Hmm, thanks, I found a coupon for $250 off for Dell Canada, and I think I have pretty much the same system and it should come out pretty much the same, but I can't apply the $250 off one either... Any ideas? Could it be because there's already "Dell Customers: Savings on your Online Purchase" which is taking off more? Or should it still apply the coupon?

    Thanks in advance

    ya i found you can only use the coupon with the link provided, so that coupon will only work with that link and not any other configurations.. because usually the other configurations have other offers attached to them.. unless that coupon is stackable, which i have yet to find for dell.ca (sad once again.. lol), it wont work..

    Oh well, looks like it's going to be a Toshiba Satellite M60 for me.

    Don't order online, call them and ask to for the small business section.

    These guys can deal on prices and are under sales quota. I got my I9300 in September a few hundreds less than online, with better specs. And he also lowered the 3-year complete care from 299$ to 199$.

    Simply hesitate, tell him you'll think about it...then he asked my what he could do to make me buy it right away, I said price. He put me on hold, came back and lowered it...his first quote was already better than I could get online, his new price was pretty good.

    It's easy, and worth a shot at least... if you don't like it you just hang up.

    ps: EDIT: Last I heard, home section won't deal like the business section can. And he never asked for any business info.
