    Hey so I'm about to make a purchase of a laptop from Malibal, but just had a couple questions!

    First of all, are there any promo codes I can insert to use for discounts?

    Also, I heard I can get free shipping for being a member of this forum. How exactly do I do this? Because if I make the order, the extra ~$50 for shipping will be tacked onto my bill!

    Thanks for any help!

    Wow, consider yourself lucky or forewarned or something!

    I ordered from Malibal 2 days ago but had to pay them the $50 for shipping and just got the standard $125 off orders over $1500 promo they are running now... What other promo codes did you get?

    You should PM them. They sent me a code via PM for shipping so i am sure they will do that for you. Although i'm not sure how they would handle it since you already ordered without the discount applied at that time.

    And yes, they do reply pretty quickly.

    I was told that it is only for members with enough posts. I was a lurker and had not registered here before I ordered so I still had to pay shipping.

    Well, I had a few posts and registered before I ordered, they just replied to my email saying they would give me the shipping promo, w00t!

    Also, I ordered the U3 cooler thinking it was the U2, the problem being my backpack probably won't fit the U3. I asked them about it in my email about the shipping promo and they said I could just cancel that part of the order even though I'd already payed them.

    Great customer service from these guys!

    Yeah I bought the laptop that night I made this thread. Work pretty much keeps me from replying at a decent time frame here, lol. Malibal seems amazing, I told my older brother since I had to use his CC and he was surprised at how fast they replied(I pm'd Malibal after this thread about something else, and got a reply in under 3 minutes)!

    I'm pretty sure I decided to go through Malibal not for the price, but the customer service, reviews, and also the name Malibal sounds cool and will be on my laptop forever :D(these obviously aren't the only reasons!)

    Thanks Malibal <3 can't wait till I get my laptop(is there a way to track the delivery or status? My brother jokingly asked if they would send me a picture or video of my laptop before I received it, which would be awesome and funny :) ).

    Edit: just noticed I'll receive tracking info when it ships~

    Hi, you probably have to wait until the system updates at midnight before your PM's will be enabled. :)

    There's a 50 dollars off promotion I checked today from Malibal, I might consider buying from Malibal.

    Perhaps my account is too new to PM, but I too would appreciate any codes prior to ordering.

    Just chatted to a friendly Malibal agent who offered me the free shipping, but it is not via a code as I am in Canada, but to mention it in comments. Would this then mean that the cost of the shipping would be refunded?

    Or am I better off ordering on the phone?

    Thanks!

    Hi, yes - we have some other codes including one that will give you Price Protection through the entire Holiday Season. This means that if any better deals come out from now until Dec 31st, we'll refund the difference back to you - if the new total is lower than what you paid on your order.

    Please PM us or visit our chat for details, thanks! :)

    Hi,

    I'm planning to buy the lotus p150 and would like to get discount codes and a shipping discount. Where can I find or get them?

    Thanks for the help :).

    Its best to PM Malibal representatives. You need to have 5 posts in the forum to be able to PM. You may also have to wait over night for you to be able to send a PM.

    Well,

    That is strange. I do not know what to post. What do I post? :D

    Does "post" include what I write here? Or does it mean that I have to start a new thread? Thanks.

    Regards.

    Hey Thanks.

    I posted my specs and asked a few questions about my config elsewhere in the sager and clevo forums. There are a lot of people here with the same configs! Quite interesting.

    Anyway, this shall be my 5th post and I hope that it will be enough for me to get my PM activated overnight?

    Regards.
