New Dell UltraSharp 2405FPW - Page 3

**SPeedY_B** · March 2nd, 2005

Change that "when" for an "if". Pissed off to be honest, bad day at work didn't help ;P

**NetRyder** · March 2nd, 2005

Whoa...there's already a discount code!

$1199 - automatic 10% off - $75 off $550 code ?LBP9VN9BDDFT2 [Exp 3/3, 5:59am, 2000 uses] = $1004

**SPeedY_B** · March 2nd, 2005

****s sake, I may as-well bloody order it from the US, even with shipping and the inescapable import tax maiming I'd get, it'd still get here quicker and likely be cheaper anyway.

hmmmmmmmmmmm.

**LordOfLA** · March 2nd, 2005

do it! you know you want to and yes it will be cheaper and faster

**SPeedY_B** · March 2nd, 2005

It's quite likely that I will, hoooowever.. Do they ship to the UK from the U.S. site? or would I have to get some over there to ship it over to me?

Also, if it randomly implodes (it could happen) how/where/who do I get support from? worldwide warranty? send it back to U.S.?

**NetRyder** · March 2nd, 2005

Good questions...that I don't have answers to.

Sazar should know. Or he should be able to find out, at least.

**SPeedY_B** · March 2nd, 2005

Just done some quick math, if they do ship over (note, very rough figures) :

1080 USD -> 565 GBP
+ 17.5% VAT
+ 14% Excise Duty
+ ~$100 Postage
Total: £800.00

I hope the postage isn't that much, I just pulled a nice round figure out the air. I'm not overly sure how much it'll be priced here though, can't see it being below the £800 mark, but a few months ago, I would of said I would never see a 20" Widescreen below £500 (the 2005FPW is currently £472 over here.) so I don't know.

This is a bit annoying though:

Monitors, (plasma, LCD, CRT)
Able to display video - 14% Fee
Only able to take computer signa - Free

Bloody customs and excise

**LordOfLA** · March 3rd, 2005

You have no warranty on imported goods. If it is shipped without a dvi cable there is no fee as I understand it.

Durzel · March 3rd, 2005

Hi,

Just registered to let you know that I successfully ordered this from Dell UK yesterday. I paid a somewhat discounted rate (£600+VAT) because of our friendly Dell account manager.

Just thought I'd let you know - speak to Dell sales direct and they can order the monitor for you.

**NetRyder** · March 3rd, 2005

Thank you, Durzel. I'm sure SPeedY_B will appreciate your post.

Hope you decide to stick around too. We're a friendly community.

**SPeedY_B** · March 3rd, 2005

Very cool. Thank you for the information.

Only problem now being that the arseholes I ordered my 9800Pro from have only now decided (after I contacted them) to tell me they don't have any and that I should "select another item", morons. It's the only compatible item/card they sell.

As I'm not overly keen on the idea of getting the 2405 until I get a 9800 in here (1920x1600 on a 64mb 9000Pro doesn't sound great to me) it may have to be delayed anyway... dammit. Why does everything go wrong when you don't want it to?

Durzel · March 4th, 2005

Hi again

I cannot fathom for the life of me why this monitor is not yet on Dell UK's website, as it is very much "in stock" and shipping out to people. I ordered mine as previously mentioned on Wednesday, it was shipped same day and is on the van for delivery today.

**SPeedY_B** · March 4th, 2005

It's there now. £860 (~1640 USD... ouch!)

^Click for big

Durzel · March 4th, 2005

Yeah, was just about to post the same link..

Funny (?) how once again the US price is roughly translated "as is" to the UK price.

Shouldn't really be surprised I suppose - us UK folk get routinely screwed over on this sort of thing.

**SPeedY_B** · March 4th, 2005

Yup, will (likely) be placing my order later tonight. If anyone has some coupon codes etc (although I doubt there'll be any) they'd be a great help

**Sazar** · March 4th, 2005

a coupla lads on the nvnews.net site we are affiliated with have snapped up the product... probably have it by early next week

I'll ask the lads to write up a mini review or post pics (or both... )

they are more diligent/have more time on the hands than I do so perhaps they will be able to pop one out pretty rapidly...

**Brad** · March 4th, 2005

my girlfriend's dad has one. absolutly awesome.

**mlakrid** · March 4th, 2005

Dumb question, I have never lived in the UK so I dont know. Wouldnt it be possible for one of you to have someone in the US order the monitor, place it on Ebay or some other auction house, and then just ship it to you to avoid the VAT and exhange rate fluctuations?

Just curious seems to me you could save serious £'s

Would ideally save £60, but it's likely customs would charge more because they're arses

will also receive the item a lot quicker if ordered from the UK.

Haven't seen any discount codes for the UK, unfortunately.
