    I just bought a dell i9300 and recieved the $750 off coupon, then a DAY later they release the 35% off coupon.... I have calculated it to have saved $900+ on the exact same lappy. The Lappy now ALSO comes with free upgraded wireless and printer! a freakin DAY late! Can't believe it... I would have just used the extra savings right back into it! (spare battery, better wireless...)
    I would love to call before my system is finished and at least get a credit or something so i can get more Dell Stuffs...
    Anything i can do? or am I boned? I'm pretty much boned...

    You can't stack those deals, it's one or the other. If you still think you can save though, cancel the order and place it over again.

    I really do not want to cancel the order just to get the better deal.... Maybe it isn't, but it seems a little unethical to do. But i would verymuch like the better hardware... ahhhhhhhh!!!! It is still in the testing phase. Thank you for the response. Anything else i could do? According to the agreement i am with my rights to cancel is that ok? does it cause them problems and such?

    Trying to do whats right....(at the cheapest price),

    I would contact Dell and tell them the situation. They may just upgrade your coupon. :confused:

    Good point, they might, but cancelling an item like that is not a problem. I did it myself with a server a few weeks ago.
