    I want to order 2 Dell laptops,

    Anyone who has ordered multiple laptops at the same time, is it better to order them together, i.e. the same shopping cart, or order them separately?

    Shipping may be cheaper if you order both at once??

    Can you use the $300 off coupon twice in the same cart?

    I'm not sure about the shipping, it might be cheaper or it might not if both laptops have a free delivery offer.(btw if one has a free delivery, and you order 2 together, do you still get the delivery for free?)

    Also, I'm not sure if you can track your system's progress separately if you order them together?

    And in case I want to return one of the laptops, wouldn't the whole thing be easier if I have ordered it separately?

    I would call in and talk to a rep. You might even get a better deal that way.

    shipiing is free for dell

    if your doing it online it doesnt really make a difference but for convience i would order them together (unless your still unsure about one, etc)

    if your doing it by phone then i strongly urge you to order them together. if you do you're alot more likely to get discounts/free upgrades (reasonalbe ones obviously =p) as your are spending so much money

    either way i am fairly sure that they will give you two seperate order numbers so they should be able to just give you the discounts on both as if you ordered them seperately.
