Question:
FREE dell 725 printer for AUGUST/JULY notebook purchases
wewt! first it was free backpacks, and now its free printers!
Heres some good ole copy and pasting, since the op in the thread has perfectly good instructions on how to get it :D
http://forums.slickdeals.net/showthr...56522&t=302128
also note that ink for the *free* printer will cost you around $25-30 when the time comes to replace the trial ink. afaik dell modifies the lexus printers so that you have to buy ink from dell. i'm not entirely sure about those ink-refilling kits though but hey its free :D

FREE DELL 725 PRINTER W/DELL NOTEBOOK PURCHASE
YMMV
Here's how:
Go to http://support.dell.com/support/topi...=19&l=en&s=dhs tell them something like this:
"I received a catalog and it said that placed for notebooks get a free printer.
I ordered an E1505 in order #xxxxxxxxxx but I didn't know that I had to add the printer to my order to get it free. I thought it was automatically included in the promotion.
You go to Dell Promotions http://www.dell.com/content/topics/p...=19&l=en&s=dhs . Because I didn't add it to my order, I didn't get it for free as advertised in the catalog."
They will not issue a coupon or send you a printer unless they see that this is actually a real promotion. You may have ordered a laptop without taking advantage of this promotion!
Some representatives might give you a $25 off coupon for the printer. Some representatives might give you a $35 or $50 off coupon for the printer.
Here is the promotion:
For a limited time only, purchase a new DimensionTM desktop or InspironTM notebook and get a FREE Dell Color 725 Printer.
You can also get great savings on the Dell All-In-One 924, 944 or 964 with purchase of any new DimensionTM desktop, InspironTM notebook or XPSTM PC.

2:56:27 PM Gaganpreet Kaur Hi xxxxxx.
2:56:46 PM Gaganpreet Kaur How are you doing today?
2:57:04 PM You I ordered an e1405 and then when I got my Dell Catalog, the promotion said that I should have gotten a free printer
2:57:15 PM Gaganpreet Kaur I will check the records right away.
2:57:20 PM Gaganpreet Kaur For verification, may I know the name and complete billing address as per the records?
2:57:38 PM You xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
2:57:50 PM Gaganpreet Kaur Thank you for the information. Please allow me 2-3 minutes while I check my records.
2:58:06 PM You I did not get the free printer and want to know if a printer could be shipped to me
2:58:58 PM You I could really use a printer for my new system
2:59:53 PM Gaganpreet Kaur Thank you for staying online with me. I see that there was no promotion of free printer on the day that you had placed the order.
3:00:15 PM Gaganpreet Kaur There was a promotion of free skin on that day.
3:01:36 PM You Yes, but the catalog I received said that with the purchase of a notebook I should have received a printer. I didn't know that I had to add it to the cart and that it would be credited back. I thought a promotion like that would have automatically included the printer
3:02:14 PM You For a limited time only, purchase a new DimensionTM desktop or InspironTM notebook and get a FREE Dell Color 725 Printer.

3:02:33 PM You I did not add it so I didn't get it
3:02:43 PM Gaganpreet Kaur May I know which promotion are you referring to? You are not eligible for free printer promotion.
3:03:07 PM Gaganpreet Kaur This promotion was not offered on the day that you had placed the order for E1405.
3:03:53 PM You Yes, I just wrote the promotion. It was in the catalog that I got on the same day that I placed the order
3:05:19 PM Gaganpreet Kaur xxxxxx, please allow me 2-3 minutes while I check my records.
3:06:35 PM You It seems that if it was in the catalog, then it would have been included in the order that I placed, but I didn't know about the promotion yet, and I thought that if there was a promotion that I qualified for that it would have been included
3:06:57 PM You I would really appreciate if you would ship the printer to me
3:08:12 PM Gaganpreet Kaur Thank you for staying online with me.
3:08:36 PM Gaganpreet Kaur I have checked the records. I see that you are not eligible for the free promotion.
3:09:01 PM Gaganpreet Kaur Also, I can see that coupon codes and the order for two backpacks is already placed for you.
3:09:53 PM You The backpacks were a promotion that was in the catalog
3:10:02 PM Gaganpreet Kaur You are right.
3:10:27 PM Gaganpreet Kaur However, there was no promotion of free printer for your systems.
3:10:45 PM Gaganpreet Kaur Please allow me 2-3 minutes to consult my manager in this regard.
3:10:52 PM You How come the promotional things that are supposed to be included in qualifying purchases are not automatically shipped? The catalog had the printer in it
3:11:31 PM Gaganpreet Kaur Please allow me 2-3 minutes to consult my manager in this regard.
3:13:28 PM Gaganpreet Kaur Thank you for staying online with me.
3:13:55 PM Gaganpreet Kaur As an exception, my manager has allowed me to place an order for 725 printer for you.
