    Is it possible to order a thinkpad in Canada, using CPP or EPP codes?
    Is it true that thinkpads sale more expensive in Canada?

    If CPP or EPP is not usable, are there any other deals in Canada?

    You have to order through Lenovo Canada.

    i tried but it didn't work either. could you provide a CPP Canada link? maybe it's i went to the wrong place all the time. the address i used is www.lenovo.com/cpp

    but i guess CPP Canada should be something different

    hey man thank you so much! that worked out perfectly and the deal is even better (40% discount) than the one expired last night (36% discount). i'm gonna place my order today, but i guess it may take forever for them to ship my t400

    I know EPP is employee discount; what is CPP? I see from nwo's posts that there are CPP codes that work in Canada also? If so, how does one qualify for CPP discounts? Am seriously considering the T400, esp. since there are sales going on. May wait for the new Dell refresh and for the new HP5v to come up to Canada, but if there is a deal to be had with the T400, may forgo the wait (and backlit keyboard option that Dell has) and go with a T400.....

    Thanks!

    hey Circus and trucks, just to clarify the EPP (employee purchase program) and CPP (contractor purchase program):

    currently, i still haven't found out how to use the CPP discount in Canada since the CPP is only available in states. the one that i used was EPP, and the offer they're giving out right now combined with the ecoupon could knock off 40% from the original price.

    i configured a t400 with the followings for under $1300 CAD before tax:
    T9400
    Vista business
    WXGA+ LED
    ATI Mobility Radeon 3640 with 256MB
    3GB DDR3
    160GB 7200rpm
    9 cell

    what ecoupon did you use?

    EDIT: Found one online, just got $35 credited to my order. But since this is my last price match I'm not going to bother looking at prices anymore. I'm done.
