$799

That’s the starting price. Go to the accessories page down the bottom and untick everything. :)

Thx

Nice deal. Why do I get the feeling this won’t go through either?….maybe it will.

Stupid Dell. That’s the same e-value code as before (I think), so they’ve screwed up AGAIN on the same situation. Shame there’s not more you can remove from the order to make it cheaper…

Cheers.

I won’t believe $238.64

Gone already

“Due to technical difficulties, we are unable to process your request at this time.”
Not gone if you don’t use moneybackco

Still works for me:
http://configure.ap.dell.com/dellstore/config.aspx?cs=aubsd1...

Gave me the error if I used moneybackco..

going straight through the Dell site was fine..
Placed my order again..
this time left it at the 19” screen (upgraded to 20” last time) and upgraded to Home Premium for Vista Media Centre..

EDIT: Just realised this one has 4Gb RAM, last one only had the 2Gb!!

I cannot believe how stupid Dell is, unless they are just doing it to collect customer and credit card information, then use bait and switch.

I’ve order 2 anyway, one on credit card and the other via internet transfer.

This deal (I hope) will help further the cause for the other order I have. When/if they call regarding this one, I’ll be saying “how you can call both of these mistakes..you won’t have many customers if you try to cancel everyone’s orders”.

I decided to go against using my crecdict card and have opted into the bank transfer option, ill go to the bank latter.

This way, that if they do refuse like they did last time,, i can claim that they accepted my money therefore a contract is formed..

Lets see how this works out!

I chose to go CC again.. Don’t want them having my money unless I’m going to see one or other of my computers!!

They’ll probably give us both now to screw us over!!
:-)

EDIT: Having seen the deal is ended already and again not having received an email (yet) for my first CC transaction, I logged into my account and processed through EFT..
Just got an acknowledgement email for the EFT order… still nothing from my CC order, didn’t ever get one for the previous deal either.. I wonder why my CC orders failed both times?

I’ll reserve voting, my order has gone through to acknowledgment email, but I think there is approximately 0-1% chance of actual follow through from Dell.

cool! just ordered one!!

Yep, works beautifully.

cool, ordered one

just got the email from dell:

This e-mail is to acknowledge receipt of your Dell Order.

We will start processing your order after your payment is authorised. At this time you will receive an order confirmation, so please check your e-mail regularly.

I can sense someone is going to be fired at Dell again. I highly suspect that someone internal made this ‘loop hole’ on purpose in order to get their friends and family score a bargain.

In that case, I’m so that employee’s new best friend if it actually arrives.

nice!

just got my order in for 2 of these babies for my mini-cluster of doom.

At least we can argue that $799 IS a reasonable price for a computer now. We just didn’t require all the accessories that came with it, so we save a few dollars lol

i ordred three what a deal

buying one now :D

hope it works.

f*ing dell, i’m going to get you knob heads.

Each of my colleague ordered one! We ordered four!!!! f*ing dell.

The code doesnt work? :S

Still working for me.

The EFT ref number is internet ref number right???

It is - hopefully your bank accepts it. Mine doesn’t..that was fun back when I used EFT.

ordered 2, one by CC and one by DD ^^ lmao

It’s amusing to watch Dell cockpunch themselves…

Now I’m likely to get double the amount of calls about ‘technical errors’. Speaking of which, they can hardly use this excuse again right?

Now whenever they call we’re going to have to ask for a reference number in relation to which order they are calling about, then place them on hold for about 10 minutes while we access our database.

Just ordered one, hope it can go through this time. If they call me again to cancel, I will definitely say no.

Wonder how long it’ll be before they pull this one…

Ben V Dell: Awesome find dude! Just for the record, do you remember what time you discovered this?

Re: 10% off; How PO would you feel if you did take Dell up on the initial 5% discount offer?

Argh! APC doesn’t even link OzBargain properly. Well, not the first time that happened… :(

Im a bit stuck…

When i ordered it they gave me information about how to deposit the information,, so i left that screen open,, but my computer decided to restart itself,, so ive lost it..

I know you have to do it at a National Australia bank?? any one know any more information?? what do i do??

Dell Australia Pty Ltd

Account # 106685061

BSB 242000

Citibank

Put you online ref number as EFT ref

I could be really mean and paste in my bank account details here ;)

thanks,, i should have just opted to do it by internet transfer instead of opting to go into the bank and do it… I guess its too late to change,, or maybe i should ring and ask.

damn miss it, now $799 T_T

You can check out again, but that’s the account number for veostro

unfortunately i’m getting the “Due to technical difficulties ….” error message as well :\

at which step? it seemed OK to me

Had to put in an order.
For the last offer - if they had emailed me Tuesday or Wednesday, preferably with a coupon for $50 or even a free mouse mat in apology but even just a prompt apology, I would have been happy. Now I hope they squirm a bit :-) Makes me wonder how well they are assembling their computers these days? If they are showing as little care and customer focus with their machines then we had better avoid Dell!

MISTAKES: While all efforts are made to check pricing and other errors, inadvertent errors do occur from time to time and Dell reserves the right to decline orders arising from such errors.

Doesn’t stop me trying though - right ;)

Highly doubt they’ll let it go through.

Anyone can place a disclaimer anywhere for anything, it doesn’t make it right.

The “R221122AU” code doesn’t come up anymore… :(

well i just did it, @fazz use the 2nd dell link as it links straight to there…doubt ill really get it though..meh worth a try lol

@Ben V Dell, did you want to update the link to the one I posted to the eValue code directly?

http://configure.ap.dell.com/dellstore/config.aspx?cs=aubsd1...

I hope we don’t need to take legal action ^_^ to solve this problem.

shit i don’t believe it here we fkn go again!

it’s at 799 now

I’m sorted. Don’t need a PC really but at $275 (my final price coz I optioned up the wireless keyboard & mouse!) I’m laughing. I have a higher spec Intel Core2Duo system offline at the moment due to faulty motherboard. So $275 essentially just bought me a motherboard. Now I got 8GB of RAM, spare HDD’s, a spare E2200 CPU blah blah blah… After I eBay a few of those things I reckon this computer will be close to FREE for me. Lol loving it. Would have bought the 5 systems if my credit card was healthier.

dang.. should i buy??? should i not?????

Use Direct debit man, they are not going to honor CC i think.

To all the people whining about it being $799 thats because you haven’t read anything been written above. $799 includes all the accessories you don’t need! Take all that away and it comes down to around $250 before the discount coupon is added.

I just ordered one with a E8400, 22” LCD, and 250GB HDD. Comes out to under $640. I will sell the monitor so it works out cheap for me :)

Ordered 1 with cc, let see…

I just ordered two with the recommend upgrades $805 for 2 pcs. Since I have the previous order that Dell tried to get me to cancel I can’t see how they refuse this one. Who is up for a class action if they try it on this time!

Not voting +ve until order confirmation (the real confirmation) comes thru.

itsross, You mentioned you got a service call with the dell techo, what PC/Notebook you got and was it purchased recently? cheers

It is the Inspiron 1525 laptop. About 6 month old and the 3rd service call I’ve had from Dell. They’re pretty poorly built machines.

I got 2, great work Ben v Dell. I definitely think we should get some sort of plan ready for when those F ers at Dell try and kybosh it. Strength in numbers.

missed out even trying last time. followed the instructions to get the price down :) Now to wait and see.

wow, someone screwed up on the dell end I’d guess!

Those optionals should be unticked to begin with I think…

I ummed and erred for half an hour about ordering 3 and in the end I don’t think I will order any, first I’d have to be home when they deliver all the huge boxes, then stuff around selling what not on feeBay which might be full of them, then have to be there when the courier company picks them up for delivery to whoever bought the computer or screen (package will be too big for AusPost), then ATO checks these things (probably not for such small purchases of only a few, though still), then Dell’s warranty transfer is for the whole package and screen cannot be done separately to the computer and it all seems like too much hassle for couple hundred bux…

Still a good bargain since the screen is $320 on its own currently (other discounts notwithstanding), but we’ll see if Dell honours it, usually they do methinks, but if they call upon T&C, ou well, you can try but can’t ya ;)

if i dont go into the National Australia bank and pay overnight do they think that they will cancel my order before that???

As soon as i pay, im claiming a contract has been formed and ill go to court if i have to!!! Its a matter of principal! Just like the guy in america that went all the way to the supreme court as he was charged an ectra 40 dollars on his insurance premium, and he won!! He’s my inspiration!

Also ordered one, cannot help stop buying…

This is hilarious, I can’t stop laughing xD

Maybe people will be able to order until Monday, when they work again ^^

I cant order it, I dont have a company name, any way I can still get it?

I forgot to send my payment ref. How do I edit this or send them the ref #?

Dude I just got another one in. This time for just 1 machine paying by direct deposit, just covering my bases.

Edit: never mind.

I am a bit confused. I’ve selected eft as a payment method :
“Payment Type: Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT)”
I expected it would ask me to make a transfer, but it even did not ask me for any kind of bank account details.
The order went through :
“Thank you, your order has been submitted successfully.”
I’ve never paid via eft before (used my credit card instead) and expected that the money will go from my bank account to Dell right away. Did I do something wrong ?
PS thanks for the information on the deal.

No you have to login to you netbank facility and move the funds into the dell acc# using the Internet Reference Number as refno#

You have to move the money to them, they don’t direct debit from your account. You should have been given Dell’s bank account so you go to your bank (or online) and move money to them.

GOT IT

Interestingly the Order Acknowledgment hasn’t come thru for the last order hmmmm? Lucky I kept a screen capture

Seems to have been taken down. I ordered 2 before this happened though

Still fine here.

Still available.

ok, I clicked on the picture at the top the first time which got me in. This time when I checked that took me to a different page.
Got it figured out now

Search can’t find this e-code “R221122AU” any more. I guess it’s GAME OVER!

GAME OVER guys :)

Click the direct link http://configure.ap.dell.com/dellstore/config.aspx?cs=aubsd1...

Read the instructions here properly

I did follow the instruction but the op has been edit. Thanks for your response!

I got mine in.

@ POWERRevolution - use this link http://configure.ap.dell.com/dellstore/config.aspx?cs=aubsd1... and go from step 3

I got too excited when making my purchase and accidentally entered ‘steet’ instead of street; noticed this in the acknowledgment email i received from Dell =[ I’ve just updated my address details, does anyone know if I need to contact Dell so they are aware of the mistake, or should it have processed in due time before they ship the computer (if they do).

Everyone got excited and made mistakes.. My friend ordered one and forgot to record his ref #.. tried again, now forgot to add the upgrades he needed.. LOL..

Slow down boys i think this will not be over until next Monday when they pop into their office realizing 10000+ orders.. LOL

The manager should log in to ozbargain to realize they make mistakes.. we find out quicker than their staff are doing :P

Exactly lol.

I think the delivery guy will know that steet means street :)

Still available now.

Ive placed an order but received no acknowledgment email. Should I be worried?

My first acknowledgment email came thru instantly, the second one took 30 minutes. I’d the say the site is getting a work out.

Cheers. Just got it :)

Thanks guys I found it :

Please note: You will need to use YOUR internet banking service to pay for your order,
Dell can not automatically transfer the money.
Please use your Internet Reference Number (as in the Thank You page) when making your payment from your Internet banking service. This unique number will help us track your payment,
Account Name : Dell Australia Pty. Limited
Account Number : xxxxx061
BSB : xxx-000
Bank Name : Citibank Limited

Let’s just hope Dell doesn’t go bust and calls in an administrator on Monday, otherwise we’ll all loose our $$!

Just got my acknowledgment email.

just got my email too, if this goes through I’ll finally join the realms of dual coreness!

just realized I forgot to put in the Internet payment number as the disscription for the bank transfer as per dells instructions written in ultra fine print. It won’t make a difference to the order but of will make it interesting to get the cash back if this goes bad. Just so everyones aware my friend and I spoke to a Dell senior member only 30 minutes before this happened, his name was Winston and he’s in Australia. He told us that as long as we have transferred money we have a legal contract with Dell and they will honor the sale and since we did the first order with credit card they wont honor it, so thanks mate I just did my order on this screewup and did direct deposit so I look forward to getting my machines and ringing you back you smug little man.
