What is it when a Dell Rep sends a "Quote" to you?

^^^^^ Title says it all...



THANKS

 

Assuming it's #6, it's the price they are offering you. Unless they're reading Shakespeare to you....over the phone...

 

To be more specific its when they email you a word doc that has the details of what you are being offered.

 

and then how do you get the deal? Do you have to order it right then and their on the phone or can you, call back or what?

 

Call back any time. No rush.

 

The point of a quote is that it's something in writing saying that Dell is willing to sell you a certain system for X dollars. You can then wait to see if you can find a better deal, knowing that you have the quoted price to fall back on, that's my understanding at least.

 

I think you are asking the wrong people... I would assume it is only valid for a short time. Check the message for an expiration. My understanding is that if you get a quote from someone it is only valid for a couple days.

 

Typically a quotation (from Dell or any other entity) will include verbage indicating the period of time the offer is good for. As well as the terms of payment as well as how an order can be placed.

In an industry where pricng and hardware life is volatile like the computer business is, these time periods are usually very short in duration.

 

Yeah, typically a month would be the maximum that a company would honor a price quote like that.

 

AFAIK, Dell Quotes are valid for 48-72 hours

 

It depends on the Rep who issues them, the first i got was 1 day i than used that to get a better offer from another rep which is valid for 7 days. Which im going to order tomorrow/thursday and try and push for abit more You don't have to go through the person who gave you the quote because any rep will honour the same price but its kinda respectful to go through them so they get the credit (if you got a good deal that is).

There are terms and conditions that come with the quote but i some reason i can only download it to 95%
