Dell.ca Boxing day deals?

Historically, does Dell offer any great deals or packages as Christmas approaches? Is it worth waiting to see what they offer before I look for my custom build?

I got a decent deal on a dell laptop last boxing day. They do have some good sales sometimes, but sometimes they jack up the price just so they can lower it to make it seem good.

Not only as Christmas approaches but also in January, presumably to blow out excess inventory. The problem is that you won't know if a deal in December is the lowest possible price until January or February. My suggestion is to take advantage of deals in December and hope any reductions (which might or might not occur) are relatively minor.

Dell doesn't have a "Boxing Day Blowout" like a traditional retailer. They're more likely to discount when a model will be revised or discontinued soon - this is when you see deep discounts. You can also search DFS for discounted off-lease and returns.

Also remember, on average, Dell requires 5-10 business days to ship your purchase on computers. This wait can be longer after Black Friday...

If you see something you like at a decent price then buy it and forget about last-minute troubles. Retailers are front-loading their sales this year because they got burned last Christmas and were left with inventory.

I've been waiting to get the 22" 2209WA IPS panel, and am wondering if it'll be offered on sale during or around boxing week.
