Go to Dell's home office site and use the KCB1G?JS6JPGLD coupon ($50 off) and the 20% off from the site.

$549 including shipping. NICE!!!

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

Damn... you can get it through the Small Business division $549 + SH... but SH is $$$$$$

I did this yesterday. $549 for the LCD, $33 for 3-5 day shipping (free shipping only on home side), $29.10 sales tax (since they have a B&M warehouse in VA) -- $611.10.

Now the bad news -- their website says "Usually ships in 24 hours". After placing the order, I get an email with an estimated ship date of 2/10 (6 days from now) and an estimated delivery date of 2/14.

I called them up to try to find out why the 6 day delay. I understand/expect a delay if I buy a customized computer that needs to be assembled but this is a cookie-cutter LCD.
"We have a really big backlog of orders on these right now." Well, hey maybe you should make some more (especially if you're starting a big sale on them on your web site right now).

Now that I've decided to buy one of these, I'd like it sooner please. /images/graemlins/grin.gif So I go over to Ebay, search around and buy one through a BuyNow price -- $620 total price with s/h and it should ship out the next day.

So I go back to the Dell site and pull up my order to get the info so I can call them to cancel and WTF, the status says its ready for shipping. This morning I get another email that its been picked up by UPS and should be here Tuesday.

Oh well, I guess I need to go buy a dual-DVI video card now as well and get to work clearing the rest of these Superbowl bonuses. Cleared $400 in bonuses this month already and have $600-800 of Superbowl and stacked reloads to work through.

Should be a fun month /images/graemlins/cool.gif

Yeah, Dell does that a lot. When I ordered mine during the Dellf game, it said it would ship Dec. 27th, and I got it on Dec. 20th. Nice job getting 2 though! Hopefully I'll finish off my collection by the end of the month, but I might have to go for a laptop first instead.
