    10% Discount on Dell Systems

    Anyone thinking of buying a new computer for Xmas might find this useful
    • 10% discount on all system purchases at or above €849
    • voucher is restricted to maximum 1 system per order
    • Valid from the 22/11 to the 4/12
    • code : W5JSH?7F7RM2BJ
    System should be purchased through the following link:

    10% Discount on Dell Systems Over €849 Boards.ie Link.

    My understanding is that this covers systems and laptops over €849.

    If there you find any particularly good deals with the discount please share them.

    Any queries on the deal can you post them here and we will try to get them answered promptly.

    My reading of the above is that while you can only use the voucher code once per system, you can make use of the voucher code for more than one order. Again if you find this is not the case let us know here.

    Happy spending. :)

    It works, thanks admin!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,963 ✭✭✭Vexorg


    Its not supposed to be available until tomorrow, but you are welcome.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,023 ✭✭✭Canonfan


    I didn't use the link, just used the code at Dell.ie checkout and it showed 10% saving.

    I haven't placed the order because I want to see if the code can be applied after using EPP code.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,707 ✭✭✭skywalker


    Whyyyyy would this appear a few days after I order a new laptop? :(

    Nice deal guys.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,963 ✭✭✭Vexorg


    Ok the link is back in and is working properly now.


    Im not sure if you can use an epp code and the 10% discount, usually the T&Cs say one offer per order.

    If the 10% discount is better, could anyone purchasing use the link in the first post, it will allow Dell to see what traffic comes from Boards.ie and buys and may allow us to negiotiate even better deals if we can show there is purchasing traffic.

    Thanks

    might get more traffic if its stickied?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 833 ✭✭✭WillyFXP


    Is there any way this can be used on Dell Outlet machines?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,963 ✭✭✭Vexorg


    Hi Brightkane - Thanks - I will sticky it it a while, Im am doing some banners to bring traffic to the forum and to the thread.

    Slightly Off topic (well way off topic actually) and we can test it here, It has occured to me that many users do not look at stickies, they can get lost sometimes as they frequently just have the forum rules which once read (if read - at all) tend not to be looked at very often. A thread that is moving up and done the forum as users read and post, generally gets more views.

    Perhaps a locked sticky that has a link to the Live Thread might have more impact - will have to think about it.

    Thanks for the feedback.

    Vex.

    Coupons/discounts only work on 'Home' systems. Vostro is business.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,836 ✭✭✭BigCon


    Fantastic offer, I just got my EPP discount and this 10% discount together, saving nearly €350 on a €1720 desktop, total saving 20%!! :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 746 ✭✭✭absolutegroove


    I don't know what to do.


    Who thinks Dell will have better bargains after Xmas ?


    Is there ever a right time to buy a Laptop !!:confused:


    Help ___ ---- So Confused :confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,963 ✭✭✭Vexorg


    Please post back if you do buy, good to know who is buying as a result of this, might help us get better deals.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,963 ✭✭✭Vexorg


    I don't know what to do.

    Prices would have to drop by more than 10% to get a better deal, and we may not have a discount voucher when you want to buy.

    Remember this one expires on the 4th December.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 746 ✭✭✭absolutegroove


    Thanks Vexorg.

    Although there's a five week wait on delivery, (due too a massive rise in orders) it's best to order now as to get all the discounts.

    Hold On a Minute !!!!!!

    Five week wait - looks like its all bargain alerts people who've backlogged Dell with orders LOL ;)

    Thanks for the help.:D

    I ordered an Inspiron 1520 earlier today, 2gig Core2Duo, 2gb RAM, 160gig HD, 15.4 1440x900 display, 8600gt graphics, all for less than €980 delivered. Thats cheaper than than a slightly lower spec machine in the Dell outlet shop, I'm well pleased:D. I did forget to add bluetooth though, never mind, will just use my dongle, would have been nice to have it built in though.

    You can buy the built in modules on ebay and install it yourself.

    Boo Hoo - not fair :)
    I can see no mention of this in the T&C's...
    It just says
    The following coupons have been entered but require additional information or do not meet eligibility requirements. Click "View Details" link(s) for more information.

    And when I click "View Details" all I get is:
    Get 10% Inc Vat off! (10% discount on all system purchases at or above €849 inc vat)

    Any official word if this will be extended to Small Business so it covers Vostro's?? Presumably it won't?

    whats a EPP discount ?

    - figured it out


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,710 ✭✭✭Monotype


    This is a great deal. I'd take up this deal if it was working with the vostros.
    If only inspirons with 14 inch screens were available.

    A couple of updates

    Vostro Systems
    Sadly discount only applies to home systems Vostro is considered a business system. Maybe next time:)

    Dell Outlet items
    Unfortunately, the voucher is not redeemable through the Outlet Centre but is specific to all new systems - Desktops, Notebooks and XPS.

    EPP Scheme
    The voucher cannot be utilised in conjunction with an EPP Scheme – it’s one or the other. - So Dell say:)

    A Question.
    What sort of systems Desktop/Laptop would really appeal? You never know Dell might do something special if there is enough buying power.

    Vex.


  • Moderators, Education Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 35,125 Mod ✭✭✭✭AlmightyCushion


    Well I know you said that the vostros weren't included because they are considered business systems but they get recommended quite a bit over on laptops forum to home users so if there was any way you could swing it then that would be cool.

    Also is there any way you could try and get the price threshold lowered? A lot of the laptops recommended are for people buying something for basic enough uses and wouldn't be over the €860 needed to qualify for the discount. Even if you could get free delivery or a smaller discount on cheaper systems that would be great.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,963 ✭✭✭Vexorg


    @AlmightyCushion - Sure will.


  • Moderators, Education Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 35,125 Mod ✭✭✭✭AlmightyCushion


    Cheers Vex, if I think of anything else I'll post it up.


  • Hosted Moderators Posts: 9,980 ✭✭✭mik_da_man


    Getting the discount on Vostro gets my vote too


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 791 ✭✭✭Akula


    Getting the discount on accessories would be nice. Big monitors etc.. when bought separate to the system.

    @ Akula is this any use for your monitor?

    My sisters vostro spend about 5 days in pre-production, I was full sure the bloody thing would never get delivered. On the fifth day the status changed to dispatched and it was delivered on the sixth. :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 287 ✭✭joenailface


    thats what happened with my 1720, if its changed to dispatched its gonna be at your house the day after. superb offer when combined with the epp and whatever other dell offers you can get your hand on (dmxdimension) i got a 1720 worth about 1300-1400 for 1050


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,630 ✭✭✭Oracle


    I just got an email from Dell with the same offer, 10% off if I spend over €849, it's got a code I need to enter at the checkout.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 260 ✭✭stev2604

    Hopefully that's the case, it's still in Pre-Production though. As long as I get it before Christmas it doesn't really matter though.

    EDIT: Despatched today, should be here soon so. Thanks again AlmightyCushion for the code! = )


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,824 ✭✭✭RoyalMarine


    We're sorry, the coupon code you have entered has already expired.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 124 ✭✭bugle

    any other codes would be greatly appreciated


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,824 ✭✭✭RoyalMarine
