Procedure to buy!!!

Hey,

I am kind of a newbie when it comes to buying a dell since this would be my first time...I wanted to know the procedure of buying a dell from the website and also the procedure of buying by calling them up...
So if anyone could tell me in some detail or atleast give a link where it has been explained before it would be really helpfull!!!!
Thanks

 

Hey there! What Model are you looking to buy?

I would suggest you configure the lappy you want..at dell.com, and *save it to your cart*! Then, call Dell and speak with a Rep..*advise this is what I want...what is the better deal you can give me, if I purchase today*!!

Also, if you check Dell's site you may find some Instant Deals, and also be sure to check sites such as: slickdeals.net, cheapstingybargains.com, xpbargains.com, and techbargains.com...for any coupons codes/deals that may be currently running and applicable to your purchase!

Here is a nice guide written by Les:

Also, do you have access to Dell's EPP (Employer Purchase Program)? Open to Student w/their schools that participate, if your employer participates, and Local Govt. Participation.!! You can get a 7% (or more, depending on employer discount, etc), savings off the already instant rebated pricing at EPP, and they are supposed ot match / beat Dell home pricing!

You should also check Dell's Outlet for some good deals too (and if you sign up on the site for e-mail notifications..you can get some good % off coupon codes!

I always play around with multiple config's of what I want and save them to my cart. And, because I have the EPP savings, I configure at both Dell's home site, and EPP...so I know what type of savings I should be getting!

Hope that helps!

thanks a lot for ur reply...i was thinking noone wud reply to such a "noobish" question...

I hav done exactly wht u said...and am gonna call them tomo or so...

I had another question...though it may get cleared by the dells sales guy...wt is the mode of payment to be used?..and supposing there are several different ones then which is the best out of them?..and also considering I have probs giving out credit card details and all on the telephone.. is tht safe?

BTW i am plannin on buying a studio 15...and sadly i cant avail of any of those EPP stuff..

 

No, problems..and really there are no silly questions! (were all here to help each other out on the forum w/q's, suggestions, etc)

You can pay by the Dell preferred account (Dell's own CC), and usually you can get up to an additional 4% of savings if you pay that way. And, sometimes, there are *12 months interest free* depending on the Model you purchase!...And, of course..they take MC, Visa, Discover, etc. You can also pay by debit card/gift card, etc. You have several options for payment.

Yes, you would be very safe paying by CC, on the telephone with a Rep~!
I do, understand your concern!

The Studio 15 is a nice lappy! You will like it!

If you have any other questions..post away!
