    Not a good idea to post your Email in a public forum, unless you absolutely love spam and phishing scams. Just get to ten posts and then PM the guy.

    Hi.

    There are little or no deals for Canadians.

    I got a good deal but only because I got my sales rep 3 additional sales + a promise of more..

    burned that bridge tho !

    (When I say good I mean... GOOD...)

    I argued and got 100 dollars off after 6 diff reps :/ Funny thing on the US site i can configure a better m17x for cheaper then the canadian site, yet they still dont give anything for discounts. I push and push for a discount, and these guys from india keep telling me no. So i drop the phone and try again. Live Chat doesnt work either cause i get the same sales rep and hes like are u gonna finalize the deal? and i keep telling him no unless u actually give me a discounted dollar value that is worth more then some pocketchange....

    Pretty much i'd say wait till they have a sale. My M15x was supposed to be like $2300 but pretty much the exact config I wanted went on sale and I got it for $1900 so i'm pretty happy with that.

    If you guys live near the US border, just use a US mail holding facility, get an excellent US rep (that I can give you through PM's) and go pick it up. Overall, you can save a substantial amount of money if good discounts are available.

    Canadian reps tend to suck and only offer 1/4 (or less) of what US reps offer in discounts.

    US mail forwarding websites are also an option.

    lol really? My brother bought his m18x with 2920 xm dual 6970 and all that jazz for less than $3k cdn. The mail forwarding place charged $10 to hold it. He got it from thealienwareguy who sells them on kijiji.
