Dell LCDs

[Operandi]

I just missed the last round for the 2005FPW. It seems like they come around fairly often but now that I'm ready for a new monitor it seems like an eternity.

Once you get the LCD it will have been eternity + 1 month since it takes for ever to ship.

 

[Ronin]

Seems like ~ once a month, especially for the 2005's.

Mine shipped in 2 days. The best deals are at the end of quarters.

 

[Miramonti]

the 2005fp's have deals much more often than the 2001's.

 

[Ronin]

Yeah, I got my 2405's the day after I bought them...shipping has yet to be an issue with anything other than computers with Dell.

When I bought my 2005FPW for $360 back in July it was nearly 1 month before it showed up. They tried to delay it even more but my bitching put a stop to that.

I suppose it depends but if a bunch of people order (like on the last deal) you can expect it to take weeks.

 

[ElFenix]

the deal gets better as soon as the return period on the last deal wears out

 

[loup garou]

Expect a good deal soon, due to my crappy luck.
<--Just ordered 10 1905FPs.

Wish I could register for a notification on when their LCD's get another one of those 40% coupons

I'm considering setting up a mailing list like that with SMS alerts.

Don't buy the 2005FPW unless it's $389 or less.

Well I can pikc up one of these or wait out for Dell deals again, not sure what to do...

That would be sweet. Any technical assistance I can offer?

I picked up about 6 of the 2005s in July when they were on sale for $360... mine also arrived in 2-3 days.

Dell is a whore for deals. It's hard to take them seriously anymore when a deal comes up. Sure you can get good deals at Dell, but there is always a deal, so don't over react when you see one and think something like that will never show up again.

Mine shipped within 4 hours of ordering and I recieved it today within 48 hours. Did I just get lucky? I paid quite a bit though, but I'm not a very patient person so I pay for that. I bought a 2005 FPW for $419.00. I went through dell small business.

small business is different than home.

I guess so but like another poster said they are whores... I have no business, and the sales person knew that .I just set up an account when I called.It seems you can just make up a business name.

 

[Aenygma]

I bought mine yesterday, and FOUND it on the porch late this afternoon. I have no idea how long it was out there, and there are construction people ALL over our block, as two new houses are being built next to us.

(I have NO idea how I received it so fast... I even went online after I brought it in, and it said, still in transit. ??

Course now I have another odd problem, if anyone can help here is thread...
