    Curently trying to buy a new laptop, and as always Dell make the choice difficult.

    The sticking point is delivery, if I buy a vostro I get various discounts and free delivery, but if I buy a xps or inspiron I get various discounts but have t pay delivery.

    Whats the chances of getting them to waive the delivery on a xps 1530 or inspiron 1720 and still get the 10% code on top?

    The chances are 38.2938 out of 100 if you call between 12 and 1 otherwise your chances drop to 36.125.

    Seriously just call and ask.

    I'm with Nizzy....All you really need to do is call them and ask ;) :)

    Alot of times, you can get them to "upgrade" your shipping for you ;) :)

    I got free standard shipping, then emailed to complain about delays, and got free next day shipping.
