Is there a way to order from Dell.com from Canada? Dell.ca never seems to have the same deals.

[TorontoSage]

No.

I am not even sure if Dell US will ship to a Canadian address. But, if they would, you would then you'll pay the customs fee, which is in the order of $25 or more minimum via UPS (may be less via US Postal Service), regardless of the cost, and then GST, PST and shipping to Canada. That pretty well wipes out any savings. There are services in Buffalo which will accept a package on your behalf for $5 or so. But this only makes sense if you live very close to the border and its worth your while to take the time and expend the gas to drive there and back.

It only makes sense if you have it shipped to a US address and can bring it back because you are going there anyway or you have a friend who is. That way you can import it using your personal exemption when you return.

I placed my order too. This has been on my 'wish list' ever since it was announced as a product. Now I just need Sage's HD Extender...anyone got a 30% off coupon for it? lol

$153.99 from dell.com in the US and $319.99 from dell.ca in Canada and not even free shipping...sigh

And to think I was on ebay bidding for a used unit at $165.

Happy I did not win, the unit ended up going for $185

I paid the lil bit extra shipping in the hopes it would arrive before this weekend....and it just arrived! Can't wait to get home and get it running!!

I do not work, nor am I affiliated with DELL. However, I really have wanted to try an HD PVR but haven't been willing to spend $249. They just found my magic maximum price. It's a legit code until 5/20 - I just ordered. Don't wait or it'll be expired.

There's a thread on this from last week.

[gibsonpa]

Yeah, this is a good deal. I ordered mine on Monday this week ($165) and it showed up on Wed. It was the D2 revision.

Was a super easy install (was expecting much worse). It has been recording tons the last 2 days with no issues/lockups.

FYI, Current Dell coupon that works until end of July is 65G7RQ11J?M2LH putting it at $186.99 . Not as attractive as the others, but better than list.
