    So I just placed my order earlier today because I thought today would be the last day for the $300 off $1299 or more. Well Dell just came out with new coupons for the same discount apparently, and I'd like to be able to use the free tax weekend here that starts Friday. Do I get charged anything at all for canceling my order?

    I forgot to mention it was put on my Dell Preferred Account, so I didn't know if that would make a difference or not?

    South Carolina has a tax free weekend starting on Friday for everyone going back to school. Saves me a little extra ontop of the coupon, which is nice. Now I'm trying to read up about how to get a free remote out of them as well. I feel a little like a vulture.

    I am so glad I saw this thread. I forgot about the tax free weekend here in NC Aug 3-5...i'm on hold right now to cancel my order to save me $56!

    In NC computer purchases count on the tax free weekend

    Anything that could remotely be linked to going back to school counts. Computers definitely count and that includes laptops as well. I even think cars count, but I'd have to check on that one.

    I haven't found any state where cars count, and I just bought a new Jetta so believe me, I checked Missouri thoroughly!

    HCW... I am still waiting for that number to Dell Corporate Offices. For the benefit of all of those who needed to call corporate (according to you), let us know.
