    So how does one go about buying a dell from a dell.com or a dell.co.uk site.

    It appears to me that there is quite a markup in the prices on the dell.ie site especially compared to the US site. Unbeliveable value to be had on there!

    So can one post a mail order to them or get some 3rd party to buy and then ship it out to you.

    Or is it the case of getting a friend or relative to buy it and then ship it off to your address.

    As an example i bought 2 identical laptops one from the ireland and one from the .co.uk site

    Ireland here

    Uk here

    So u may think sterling makes a big difference well it does but
    1,317.00 GBP = 1,892.43 EUR

    so its still a saving of just under 400 for the exact same laptop from the same company but the cheaper one comes from england.

    And the USA have it even better yet so it begs the question why do dell.ie charge so much when their cousins accross the pond gets the same for less?


    Oh and the offers were the same, well on paper anyway as the double memory for the .IE was 256->512 and the co.uk was 512->1024

    Go figure!

    i did a similar test before and the prices in .ie were the same or better

    But to answer your Q to buy from a dell.country you have to live in the country so B is the best option
