    So the dell coupon doesnt work, the VAIO coupon doesnt work..

    Maybe they only work on the US sites and not on the .ca websites? That absolutely blows.

    Anybody know of any coupons that are valid on the canadian sites? I want Dell XPS and/or Sony Vaio CR/FZ

    Thanks!

    Depending on where you live, I know there are some places close to the border where you can have your US order shipped to, and then you pick it up yourself. One of my friends have done this before, but I'm not sure what the fees were for this service.

    Dell Canada's deals are usually non-existant or lame compared to Dell USA. Every once in a while they have a good deal though. I was just about to go pull the trigger on my second choice (T61) after being annoyed with having to pay hundreds more for the same computer from Dell CA compared to Dell US. Then just moments before doing that I found a Dell CA deall for a $799 XPS M1330. I checked it out and upgraded a few things and ended up with a better deal than the US discounts. Check out redflagdeals.com for canadian specific deals.

    Yeah, compared to the States, deals here are few and far between.

    And if you do buy from the States, make sure you know about how the warranty will work.
