Post on the Customer Care board - Credit and Return. Do it TODAY! This way a dell moderator will see your post and hopefully respond by today, if not then tomorrow latest. Dell usually updayes its systems prices on a Wednesday night to Thursday morning so there will be no further recductions in the price of your system between today and tomorrow.

- If you got it on 7/3 you are out of luck, it's 30 days from invoice/ship date.

Clean your screen - turn off your PC. Use a damp soft cloth. Wipe screen carefully, then buff dry with another soft cloth. Then wipe your keyboard and pointer area, avoiding the pointer tip.
Don't upgrade your Norton Antivirus! Buy it new or SystemWorks or Internet Security (each of which contain Antivirus), and take advantage of their FREE after rebate promos that run all the time - just keep your eyes open. When the new Quicken comes out Antivirus will be free, also when TurboTax comes out. Lots of chances to not spend money to upgrade!

Why can't I track my UPS package? Per Dell-Chandler - The packages are picked up from Dell by UPSLG, which is owned by UPS. UPSLG doesn't scan the packages. They deliver the packages to UPS' regional hubs where they then will receive the initial scan. During the time from when they are picked up from Dell to the time they are scanned at the UPS regional hub, they are not able to be tracked. As soon as they reach the UPS regional hub they will be scanned in to UPS' system, which, depending on where you live, could take as long as 3 days..

I would go through the on-line system configuration, and configure a system to be IDENTICAL to what you ordered , to make sure the price has indeed dropped.
Good Luck
When I bought a Dell XPS B1000r system in early 2000, i asked for a refund after about 28 days and got $470.00 back. (the system itself was almost $5,000.00)
