grumble...dell...grrr...

Well I started smelling some interesting smells out of my current CRT. Hot glue smells to be precise...and in fact I was watching the glue melt in the back of my monitor and the whistling just getting WORSE...and WORSE. Anyway Sony is off my list of acceptable companies at the moment.

So I saw this sale on dell LCDs. They had a 20" widescreen that was $231 after 20% discount. The trouble is that it didnt have the rotating display thingy (and then later i found out its a TN display so thats REALLY not happening). So I was talking to a dell representative and she was like "well its only $50 more for the 2007wfp!" to which I was like "hot damn!" so I went on and ordered it and used my 20% off coupon. I get the bill and its $350!!!! That is NOT what I was promised. So I checked...apparently she was thinking that the 20% off would be taken off its list price right now. Unfortunately its list price is AFTER a 15% discount. And the rest of the amount is tax (Which they charge BEFORE the discount). So basically you get taxed for the $400 display and then have 20% taken off (because they dont stack discounts). so it comes out to be around $350.

...grrrrrrrrrr. So yea. I got billed WAY more than I was expecting and now its created problems with my budget. not HUGE problems, but problems nonetheless.

I really dislike these days how I have to watch every company like a hawk. There was a time when some things I could just buy and not worry so much about the price...but now they'll tell you one price and charge you a VERY DIFFERENT price. Isn't that like bait and switch? I mean I was told it was only $50 more...

my virgin ears are hurting after that! Such naughty language. For shame.

Ask questions... I always ask the before price, the after taxes price, and aftering shipping and all the bells and whistles are taken in price.. then i ask for a quote to be sent by email clearly showing how all the discounts and coupons and everything are add in.

Phone em back, and start bitching.

***Zardon*** · Oct 24, 2006, 12:40 PM

I think im the only person on the planet who really likes Dell. Yes, feel free to flame me

Sandok · Oct 24, 2006, 12:55 PM

Na Zardon, I concur with you... Nobody beats dell for laptops imho! I mean, they are rigid and robust as hell! I've dropped, soaked and burnt mine but it still runs

Only Alienware looks better than dell but that's out of most people's cost range...
