Saving £££ in the UK buying ANY Dell/AW system OR accessories - please contribute!

I think you are being extermely optimistic hoping for Dell to give you 20% off a brand new system....unless the total cost is in the region of £4k+ you are living in a dream land....

I know that discounts are possible, sometimes good and sometimes bad....I have a good rep and if you want his details, have a read here:

http://forum.notebookreview.com/ali...-aw-system-accessories-please-contribute.html

And its aslo a very BAD idea to call every rep....simply because Dell log your details so EVERY rep can see how many times you have called and how many quotes you have had and who gave you those quotes....the more reps you phone, the more quotes you decline, the less likely you will be to get a rep to take you seriously and offer you a good deal as you are seen as a timewaster....

I cant promise 20% but I know my rep does great deals.....read the thread, lots of people have used him off the forum via my referrals....testament to how good he is.

 

Yep keep calling, and if you dont already have one... let them know for an extra discount you MAY be willing to sign up for their DPA account (dell preferred account.. basically a type of credit) since they get bumps for the more people they sign up.

I got an extra 10% (on top of my already agreed upon discount) by doing that.
Then I just paid the whole thing off the day I got the bill in the mail (took them a month to send it to me)

It may be different in Ireland than the states, but give it a go.

D.

 

The list price for the system I'm looking at is about €4300 so I hope I can get a decent bit off. I'll be buying next month so I may PM you for some rep info closer to the time. Thanks.

 

Sure. Like I say, I am sure my rep can get you a good amount off.....PM me closer the time.

 

Hey all,

Very long time lurker, first time poster.

Just a question with your rep, is there any chance he can help us brothers down in OZ..

I'l PM you my details whence I can get my post count up

Cheers,
Nick

 

G'day mate!

Im actually not sure is the honest answer - I know he has done a few European orders that I have sent his way....he may well be able to help out. I will ask him on Monday but in the meantime, keep posting!

 

how many times do I need to post to be able to message someone? I want to get the notebook before the 26th for the buy now pay in may option.

 

I think you need 12 posts at least to PM.Stevie i am gonna pm you 4 sure when i get some more posts in hopes to get my m17x in greece with at least 10% price cut

 

Wow , 6 posts and PM received....and replied.

Sure thing - seems that the number of posts to enable PM's varies for some odd reason...shoot me a message when you can.

 

Got the posts finally.PM Sent

 

Received and replied - hope my rep can help you out.

 

Thank the big man up there I found this thread. Looking to buy a M17x soon but overwhelmed by UK prices. Will PM you at another time when I have money. To yhise who have bought using this method: What kind of savings are we looking at? I don't need specifics but are we looking at say US prices?
Thanks!

 

Well, alot depends on the spec/value of your order....if you have a maxed out rig with all the trimmings etc, then expect a very substantial discount. If you are after a entry level M11x or something else, then my guy can still discount but obviously it wont be as much as a maxed out M18x, for example.

I think he can get pretty close to US prices, taking into account the 20% import duty that you would pay on top of a US purchase/import into the UK. Wether or not you would get the same system specifications simply by changing the $ to a £ is maybe pushing it a bit.....but I do know he has done some great deals.

Best thing to do is PM me and then you and he can "discuss" your order....I dont do the haggling, thats up to you guys....I am just the middle man really with a good contact for discount.....

 

Sent the details to Stevie, rep got in touch and save me a bundle. I was literally days away from ordered at the normal web price.

+1 rep!!

 

niice how much did you get off?!

 

Hi guys I'm hoping to order the m14x this weekend but only if dmxdimension have a discount code which they haven't had for about 2 or 3 weeks now. I would preferably like to order online to get cashback aswell but if I could get advice as to getting discount over the phone I would be very much appreciated.
Max budget is £1250, many thanks in advance!

 

Well, I know that my rep cant offer deals in conjuction with cashback websites.....you can, by all means discuss with him if you like (just pm me with page 1 info.)

Cant promise massive savings but you may get lucky...

 

I wanna thank Steve for getting me in contact with his rep.I got a really nice price for a M17X-R3 With Full HD screen and Radeon 6990M.The rep helped me a lot,answered my questions really fast and was really kind and professional at his job.If y are looking for a nice discount on your Dell laptop you should definately PM Steve.Thanks a lot

 

Good stuff. Thanks and glad you found my rep was grest to deal with!.....

 

I've trailed the Internet for actually weeks trying to find a decent deal on dell, and rather sound off again about the price difference between the US and the UK - I'll ask really nicely StevieJones133, could you put me in contact with your rep at all?

I gather I can't PM you - is there anyway I you could email me, if I post my email on here?

[email protected]

I'll be totally in your debt if you could! Thank you!

 

Hi mate.

Firstly, I have no probs whatsoever in helping you with your purchase and getting you in touch with my rep.

Secondly, I would advise you to remove your email addy from your post asap to avoid any spamming etc etc.

It only takes a few posts on the forum for you to get priveledge to send PM's....If you make maybe 5-10 posts on various threads, you will ba able to fire me a PM and we can take it from there....

Just get busy having a look around and posting a few comments on various threads...you will be able to PM before you know it!

Hope this is ok.

Regards
Stevie

 

So after hooking me up with his rep, I've ordered a M17x R3 with 3D screen, 580m and Killer Wireless. All at a very good price, let say it was a better than 10% discount

 

Excellent news mate! - glad you got "kitted out" at a good price.....beats paying website prices 'eh?

 

Just let to everyone know there seems to be a 10% discount today for the UK and it's automatic without a coupon.. nice! I just ordered my system.

 

Thanks for the heads up kLay.....lets hope some people can use it to good effect!! - glad you got your system sorted too....

 

As of today the starting prices are:
m11x: £631
m14x: £901
m17x: £1171
m18x: £1531
Perfect time to order.

 

YOU ARE JOKKKKKKKKKKKKKING!!!!!!!!THAAAAANK YOU!!!!

DO YOU KNOW,,,, I WAKE UP EVERY MORNING TO GO TO THE UK DELL SITE AND CHECK THE ALIENWARE PRICES IF THEY HAVE DROPPED A LITTLE BIT????!!!I COULDNT BE BOTHERED TODAY UNTIL I SAW YOUR POST!!!

now its time to chat to jones rep.......

i think they realiesd that they were going to make a loss in the uk market..cause dude....THOSE PRICES WERE RIDICULOUS! or do you think its because of the new razor blade??i wonder...

 

configurations...................HERE I COOOOOOOOOME!!!!!!

 

Great news. Thanks for posting this!!! +rep as I am sure it will help MANY people out even MORE to save some dosh.....

 

wish my paycheck came sooner!!!!!!!!!

 

Bust out the credit card......steal, beg or borrow LOL

 

Oh, FYI, regarding the above deal, it expires tomorrow - my rep isnt in till Monday 29th so that could prove difficult.....

 

LOL nah mate wouldn't go that far..i can live without the beast for sometime!!yeah yeah just saw its lasting for two days only...bugger...got a little bit too excited on this offer!

 

Ahhh well, plenty more offers about or discounts to be had....

 

I'd hoped that deal would still be available on Monday 29th but missed it. Would be interested to know how much the M18x I'd spec'd on the website (£2,500) would be from your contact. Will send a PM once I have nbough posts to let me.

 

You should have enough posts now fella as I am able to PM you.... (It works vice-versa ya see - I cant PM you till you have made enough posts either).

Once you get the chance, PM me with the info from post #1 and we will get you sorted. Pretty sure that my guy can do better than that deal for you anyway....

 

I will soon be ordering an M17x R3 (in maybe 4 weeks time), I can't wait..
I'm looking to get the base spec except with a 1080p screen (60Hz) and an ATI 6990m, I have my own RAM and SSD at home which I will use to upgrade the beast XD..
The total comes to £1,529, I know questions like this have been asked before, but since its going to be a bit of time before I order I thought I may as well ask this now..
I think 10% off is a decent discount (bringing the price to £1,376), do you think that is realistic? Or is that a bit too much to ask..

 

Id say thats do-able. Although, the decision isnt mine or I would hand out much bigger discounts!! - its my reps decision at the end of the day based on margin for Dell from the machine.

All in all, its a realistic amount to expect and I am sure that this would be possible.

Im gonna be a way for a few weeks as of tomorrow so I may not be able to repsond to PM's. I imagine I will be back mid-late September.

 

Thanks, if I manage to sell my M15x somehow I will definitely be contacting you around mid-late September

 

You can get that 10% back off quidco anyway just mention it when you ring up and they'll bite your hand off like I did.

 

Hey all

Been looking around on the site for a few weeks now and im considering purchasing the M17x, after owning a M-17 which has jus died on me an after 3 years of faithful service, although I recieved absolutly terrible customer service from Alienware before they where owned by Dell im willing to give them another chance as I jus love their machines.

Im currently a serving member of the British Army and was wondering what kind of discount Dell offer to service personnel and what kind of time frame im looking at from purchase to delivery as I have about a 2-3 week time frame.

Im aware I could phone Dell and ask but i jus thought I would ask you kind folks first, any help would be greatly appreciated

 

Hey agen

Jus thought I would leave an update on my situation, I have been on the phone to Dell today and have decided to go for the M18x of the following configuration

COLOUR CHOICE Alienware M18x Stealth Black
PROCESSOR Intel® Core™ i7 Processor 2630QM (2.0Ghz, 6MB, 4C)
OPERATING SYSTEM English Genuine Windows® 7 Home Premium (64 BIT)
GRAPHICS CARD Dual 1.5GB GDDR5 NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 560M SLI™
MEMORY 8192MB 1333MHz Dual Channel DDR3 SDRAM [2x4096]
HARD DRIVE 640GB (2x320GB) SATA Raid 0 "Stripe" (7,200rpm) Dual HDD
LCD 18.4" (47 cm) WideFHD (1920 x 1080) WLED LCD
OPTICAL DRIVE DVD+/-RW (DVD, CD read and write)

PRIMARY BATTERY Primary 12-cell 96W/HR LI-ION
SECURITY SOFTWARE No Antivirus Software

This comes to the price of £2134 and have managed to get it down to £1920 im goin to phone back and see if I can get the final price to £1850 as the rep seems very happy to haggle, Im also considering adding a standard M14 or M11 to the shopping list aswell which might help get some more money off fingers crossed

If anyone does have a rep that might be able to better please let me know would be great

 

Nice specs

About a rep, steviejones133 has a very good one (thats what this whole thread is about) but he (steviejones133) is away until mid-late september. I recommend you wait until then to give him a try, lots of people have managed to get really good deals with this rep (I will also be trying him in 2-3 weeks).

 

hello!

i dont know how quick you need your beast..but if you have the time wait for stevejones when he comes back..his rep can offer a pretty good deal especially if you buying two machines....patience..and you might get your break!cheers

 

Looking to buy the m17x mid-range specs, Im just curious if 6gb ram is enough for doing most things these days.

 

Also is the 6990M a massive upgrade when compared to the 560 nvidia card in the UK M17x

 

Generally, there is no point in going over 4GB of RAM if the most intensive thing you are going to do is game. However, if you use AutoCAD, Adobe CS5, Designing software, etc then the more RAM the better

Yes, and it also rivals the GTX 580m (but I don't want to go into which is better, I've never owned an ATI before but I am planning on getting the 6990m for my new M17X R3)

 

I have an awesome rep if anyone wants me to send him your details, i got a £1800 m17x r3 for £1100 through him, i did order 2 laptops at once to achive this discount but he will still do his best.

 

I was looking to buy a desktop (alienware aurora ~ £1600) would the reps be able to hook me up with a discount? can someone pm their reps details?

 

Hey please could someone forward me the rep details. I am looking at buying a new M18x with cash not dell finance. The final price is just under 5k thanks for your help!
