Dell EPP

Hello all

Im a long time lurker now I have decided to start posting here more often and getting involved.

With the Dell EPP, Do you need to prove it to Dell that your a student? Or can you just sign up and get the discounts?

Im going to be getting an M17x soon but the extra discount would be nice on my credit card

Any help much appreciated

 

Dell EPP is employee purchase program. The student one is different.

In most cases, with the EPP you have to give them the group code that your company has.

For students, I believe its an Email address?? As long as you have an email address that ends in edu or something like that. I am not sure.. Some else that has used it may be able to provide clarity.

 

Thanks for your reply

im in Australia and this is the link we get to the codes

For the student side of things do you need to prove it in anyway? Does Dell checkat all?

Any answers would help, i dont want to sign up for it and it back fires on me
The 8% code works for me on the m17x GFJVN23QJRZ?VM
Can I just use it like that and be all good?

 

I know that if you call them and tell them you are part of the EPP while ordering, they will ask for your member ID. If you're a student, you should be able to find your member ID on your university's site...

Did you register with them on that site? Did they ask you for university and your university ID number?

 

I haven't signed up for it, the sign up part seems to be only for companies or epp. It did have anything that asked for a uni/school.

Thanks for the replies

 

what percentage is it. i may miss the deal that's on.

epp is ?
student is ?
i know aaa is 6%
and you can't mix it up.

 

Check the link I posted im not sure where else those apply thats from the Australian site

 

i used student discount, you may have to use an edu email address and they may ask for your university student id.

 

what percentage did you get off.

 

7% discount + free shipping on both ordered alienware m17x, since i ordered 2 alienware m17x.

 

woah nice and what about tax.

 

There's still tax.

Oh and sometimes they ask for your member id, sometimes they don't. It depends on the rep.

 

They asked for my university id.

 

ok. I can provide that. tax is going to kill me. but i'll see what up .

they said 30 for 3-5 days shipping which isn't bad.

 

Funny dadah how you just said a week ago you wouldnt buy any notebook you had to wait for .

 

lol. I am thinking how am I going to survive. I canuse my backup notebook but it has overheated issue and two screws won't come out no matter what you doing. they said it was 2 weeks to build it and I asked them if they have any ones that's already build or if they can ship me it and i'll do it myself. but they laughed like I was joking.

 

welcme to the dark side donda.

 

lol thanks.

but everyone keeps spelling my name wrong. I dn't have a problem with it because I know it's long you you may have to look back at itbut gosh lol. I am thinking about changing it to dondera or something short and easy.

 

I just say Dadah because i busted out laughing the first time i saw John say it lol.

 

hum deja vu dell rep misspelled my first name three times..... and its still misspelled

by the way ask for free shipping from the dell rep, they would give it to you.

 

lol it's ok. and I thnk I remember when he said it. I am going to let it stay then lol.

 

Sorry for the late reply been sleeping

I am studying but not at a uni or anything like that...

Sound like it might not work for me then

Any other ways of getting it a bit cheaper?

 

VAMPYRE call dell and give it a shot.
they will give free shipping, but try to get the dell student. There is a gd chance they dont ask you..... but you will need a university or college email so they can verify at most.

 

Ok I think i will have to try that when the time comes

Try out my salesmen mind skills lol

Cheers for all your replys much apreciated

 

Dell rep will only ask for yur edu email address.

 

actually I was quoted free shipping, when I got my confirmation...$30 for shipping... not a deal breaker however team hollywood/Andrew (aka Drew) fails so far to return promised call on a few additional items i wanted. Oh well i just might ask him to send me a second HDD caddy for free.



ilber<-still waiting

 

Guys a small suggestion here... i ordered mine through EPP.... i am a student of New York University.... i wasnt sure if i was eligible for EPP.... EPP is not just for employees of various organizations... students can also use EPP as far as your school is a Dell consumer..... my advice, call the rep and give him your info including the school you go to.... he/she will check if you are eligible for EPP and if you are then he/she will take care of discount coupon numbers

 

And good luck finding a school in the USA that isn't a Dell customer

 

Besides Boeing which company offers more than 7% discount through EPP?

 

I may be wrong here, but I believe that the 7% is the max discount through EPP for a full system, individual parts or accessories can be discounted further through the program.

 

You are wrong Boeing gets 16% off as a base discount.

 

It's nice to work at Boeing then.

 

Yes, it is nice to work there but there is no way that Boeing is the only company in the world with such discounts or at least with more than 7%.
