FedEx Dell Computer Discounts
 
Does anyone know if we get a discount from Dell, or any other computer manufacturer? I don't have access to green screen and could not find anything searching this site. Thanks in advance for any info on discounts and how to apply them!

We get a discount on Dell and Apple. Not sure what it is on Dell but 6% on Apple.

After you log onto the website look over to the bottom left and there is a link for Software and Technology. Click on that and then click on the next page's link to Employee Purchase Programs. You will find the Dell and HP deals through there.

Be sure to compare any company discount to the outlet store prices. Unless you have to build your own machine, the outlet store offers dome good value if you must buy Dell.

Apple?
 
Anybody know how to get the Apple discount?

Fr8,

In Mempho, I went to the Apple store at Popular and Germantown (Saddle Creek?) and spoke with one of the managers. I think all you need to do is show up with your ID and checkbook or plastic. I cannot remember if it's 6% as mentioned above or 8%. Of course, if you get it in MEM you'll pay 8% sales tax so you're essentially getting it tax free. You may be able to order it from that store and have it shipped to your address out of the state and save on the sales tax. Just call them and ask them.

I have never tried to use the FedEx discount outside of MEM. Let me know what kind of success you have.

BTW, PC Mall/MacMall has a distribution center on Shelby south of the arpt. You can get stuff there at a discount or brand new stuff off of the shelves. The discounted stuff is mostly returns and some minor repairs and/or missing components. For example, I bought a printer there that was returned because it was missing the CD that had the printer drivers on it. I just took it home and downloaded the printer drivers from HP's website.

Go Mac....you'll Never Go Back.

Best Apple discount is through the education store. If a family member teaches, including substitute, or even works in a school or home schools you get the discount.

Got It
 
Thanks for the response. I answered my own question by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE. I told the rep that I was a FedEx Kinkos employee. She said she could take my order over the phone and ship it to my address.

The discount for a MacBook Pro (don't know if it's the same for all Apple products) is 8%.
