T400 price drop?

Lenovo changes their price/website every Tuesday - so expect more coupons or price remaining the same or a jack up in price - just like the stock market, can't predict it

 

About this price chance thing, say for example, the price drops next week and I save that quote, but dont call. Then the week after it goes up, can I call and use the dropped price, or because it has expired I can't use it anymore?

 

The quote is valid for thirty days.

 

Thanks, and how long after my card is charged is the price match valid?

 

Don't know for sure, but folks here report 21 days?

 

The rep I spoke with said 21 days after the system is invoiced and the price quote is good for thirty days.

Now my docking station was shipped separately - so I do I need to get a price quote for just that to get the price match?

Here is a stupid question. I am using the SPP site - how do I save a quote?
I can add it to my cart but I don't see an option to get a quote number.

Thanks,
LJ

 

I have the same question about getting quote numbers. And by invoiced, do you mean the day I place the order online? So I have 3 weeks from yesterday?

 

Go through the checkout process and at the bottom of page 2 there's a link for "Convert to a quote"

 

they don't invoice until shipping - so 21 days after that.

Thanks
Lj

 

I am waiting for the 5350 with Wimax support. By the time Wimax comes out I am hoping that the price will be on par with the CPP pricing today. I realize the Wimax is slightly more expensive because of an increase in price over the existing card.

 

Yeah, this is a 25% sale they are having for the T400, and it will end August 25,2008. You can see this by going to their website and click on the 25% off special offers. So unless your planning to wait for the next coupon to come around (which probably wont be as much of a price drop), you better grab one soon!

 

This deal is really good, but does anyone know how to add International Warranty Service to the T400?

Computer prices drop all the time as memory and cpu and LCD and other component prices drop on a regular basis. I am waiting for Wimax availability and it does not look like Wimax will be out for the current crop of coupons however it is also likely that prices will drop even further by the time it comes out.

Lenovo discounts are common. T400 discounts have not been as common because it just came out and was new so more discounts were oriented towards the T61 series trying to close them out.

I bet there will be even better deals going into September. More time the laptop is out and the more time they phase out T61's, the more discounts and greater discounts that will appear for the T400 line.

 

Will they realy phase out the T61? its so popular and one of lenovo's strongest products

 

hi guys, i placed order for T400 on sep 1st and i was given sep 15th as my shipment date. now i want to cancel the order and place a new order,(1) so would i be charged for cancelling the order that i have already placed?

the reason for canceling the order is i want to have better configuration and moreover i am saving few bucks as well thru discount. i have the quote for my new order.

(2)what would happen if the amount has been already withdrawn from my credit card?could someone who have placed an order let me know, approx after how many days ur credit card has been charged from the date u placed ur order.

please guide me how to proceed.

 

^I believe your credit card is charged when the laptop is shipped.

 

my laptop is not yet shipped..its shippin date is given as sept 15th

would i be charged for canceling my order?

 

No, your credit card shouldn't be charged if you cancel. There is no cancellation fee.

 

unfortunately my order for t400 has already been shipped from china this mornin ...i even recieved a trackin number for it..........i wonder what i would do now?

there arer guys whos order hasnt been shipped even 2 weeks after thr est shipp date..now when i want to go for a better config for even less price ..this haapens...very disappointed

 

What config? What do you want to buy instead?

 

i ordered for t400, p8400, 14WXGA+ LED BAKLIT+camera, 2GB DDR, 100GB 7200RPM,ULTBAY DVD r/W,4 CELL, INTEGRATED GRAPHICS, THINK WIRELESS,VISTA HOME PREM

I WANTED TO GO FOR 3GB DDR, 160GB 7200RPM, INTEL5300 WIRELESS,VISTA BUSINESS WITH XP, remainin same config

but they shattered my dream of a dream machine by shippin 11 days prior to est shipp date....very disappointed. I hope mine to would be goin bak to china after arrivin i9n Louisevelie,US as it happened to few others

 

Wow, someone complaining that their order shipped eleven days earlier than estimated.

I doubt any physical systems are traveling from China to KY then BACK to China before coming in to Anchorage. It's likely a customs / paperwork item rather than the actual computer.

What did customer service say when you called them to ask about how to handle the situation?

 

You're right - it's just timestamps on "paperwork".

 

i called customer service nd asked for price match....which they did.

since members are confirmin that its not the actual notebook but just paperwork...would it be possible for me to still cancel the order. This is absolutely ridiculous, i don't understandtheir point...of puting up trackin inf for paper work..........its just to avoid cancelation of orders. Is their ny solution to this.

 

The paperwork may be in KY, but based on the tracking info you posted I suspect your system is already on its way to Anchorage. i.e. it's left the factory.

 

my t400 order(1 sept) includes vista basic , it has already shipped...nowif i speak to cust service is there ny chance of upgrade to vista business with xp RDVD option(i mean would they send them on a disc with the same price option at the time of order) ..ny chance of them considering my request?

 

There is I believe more than half day difference between NA and China, that might be the reason that the time looks funny sometimes.

 

doesn't it state the weight...should be like 3.6 KG

 

Best way to find out is call and ask. Worst they'll do is say no, right?

 

my log dont know what it has to do with korea
