    To give you the new price, he had to cancel and reorder your system. It then gets approved for finance and put at the end of the line.

    Its like...your standing in line, someone pulls you out and gives you a few hundred to go to the back? is it worth the time??

    For a week? its worth it. You don't want to look back in 5 months and think to yourself "Man why couldn't I just wait another week"

    $300 could be a good chunk of someones weekly paycheck.

    Politely...GET A JOB LIKE THE REST!!! Your right...my taxes and Ontario Student Assistance dont include the purchase of a laptop; its fraudulent.

    Sorry. I just believe in the work ethic...even when your in school.

    And I know, I know...I jumped... I have just hated watching those with OSAP assistance over the years forfeit their responsibility and not pay it back. Both my kids were in that boat and I explained to them the ethics rational...You borrowed it and you pay it back. Dont ever piggy back anyone, even the government.

    That sucks.Honestly I don't think it's worth rechanging the order whether its b/c your waiting longer for a color lid and getting a black lid or the pricing issues and if a new dell coupon arrived today.
    It's worth waiting for the color you want vs. living with a color that you don't want.

    Its definitely worth it considering that sometimes you can call in and ask the rep to upgrade you to overnight shipping for free. Granted, you did cancel on your own accord but give it a shot.
