    Think about buying DELL E1405 if coupon really works.
    Question is, do I still get a chance to cancel this order before finalizing if the coupon # doesn't work ?
    We are talking a $450.
    Without, I'll have to pay $1565
    With $450 coupon, I only have to pay $ 1115

    You can apply the coupon in the shopping cart and see if it works, before checkout.

    for the rare reason if they decide to not let u use the coupon after it went through, they will email u saying its delayed. in that time you can call up dell and have it cancelled. also Dell has a 30 day satisfaction guarentee policy. so if u dont like it, you can send it back for a refund within 30 days.

    Or just use a virtual CC number limited to the price with coupon ($1115 plus shipping plus taxes). If they cancel the coupon, the transaction will fail.

    SUCCESSFUL ORDER. FINALLYYYYYY
    I tried $750 coupon, but it didn't work no matter what I've done.
    If only succesful, I'd get EVERYTHING for only $1330. But hell, it didn't work.

    I finally tried $450 coupon, and for several hours it didn't work either. I almost gave up and ran to Compaq V2000.
    After logging off for about 7 hours, I did my final attempt.
    The $750 coupon still didn't work, but this time $450 worked.
    I paid only $1322 for $1788 order.
    Much better.

    Got Duo Core 2400, 2 units of 9-cell battery, Logitech Z-2300, 80GB external HD, Audigy, 1GB RAM, DVD Burner, Intel® PRO/Wireless, Dell Blootooth, and Remote control, and Mc-Afee 15 months.

    Not a shabby deal. Thank youuuuu
