Had ordered my new laptop on 11/20, they said it would arrive on 11/29. It didn't arrive. Then I looked up my order to see that the estimated date changed from 12/5 to 12/10, and I felt a tremor in he Force telling me that they'd probably bump it back even further. So I called and canceled it this morning. Looking again. Coworker said he beats the taxes by ordering from https://www.bhphotovideo.com or http://www.dealmoon.com, or he likes https://www.ebates.com/ or https://www.cashbackmonitor.com too for cashback offers.
Anyone here have experience with any of those sites? I like the "avoid the tax" idea. The laptop I just canceled had about $90 in tax I think.
He also didn't think the next-day warranty was a great idea either; I disagreed--I've enjoyed that peace of mind with my Dells over the years and had to use it a couple times.
