Well I got a nice deal for the Alienware 18.
Just had a chat with a kind gentleman working for Dell, but what he had to say wasnt very optimistic despite what the other people had to say.
Should I not go through with the order, despite it being $1000 cheaper than here in Norway? Or is this guy full of it? Anyone had success importing from Dell US? All I have to do now is call financial department and verify my CC.
Anyhow here is what he had to say:
Obstacle #1:
I have to verify my credit card according to the previous one who gave me the discount since its not a US card. Here is what the new dude had to say and he was sceptical.
"Even if you verify your credit card, 99% of the orders get stopped"
Obstacle #2:
I will use a post forward service. Nobody reacted to that before, until this new dude came along
"We only ship to private houses."
"How do Dell know its a post forward service that gets it and not me?"
"The adress"
"I highly doubt Dell keep a track for these companies"
Obstacle #3:
"You have to sign the package, so therefor the post forward service wont be able to recieve it"
Cant they sign for me, or tell the postman that they will just forward it to me for the postman?
