To Cancel My Laptop Order?
Today a courier's van pulled up outside and the driver removed a laptop-sized box. Alas it wasn't my new laptop but the port replicator for it. I nearly bought it as part of the Lenovo order for the RRP of ~£192. Luckily I looked on eBay and got a brand new one with free delivery for 75! Goes to show it's always worth looking about for the extras.
Talking of saving money, I thought I'd check my order status on lenovo.com. When I was there I noticed a huge advert on the homepage advertising a three day 10% sale on all laptops! Doh.
The quandary now is whether to cancel my order and start over, thereby saving ~140 quid. Trouble is it would delay my order by a week.
The question has to be would I pay an extra 140 pounds to have it delivered a week earlier. The answer has to be no and this, in turn, solves the dilemma. Better get on the phone tomorrow....

Jake,
I brought my port replicator on eBay also and it works great. Got it for the about same price.
LOL I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one that has things like that happen.
I wonder why you couldn't just call Lenovo and ask them for the discount on the current order, if they say no just tell them to cancel the order. Seems like it would save time and most retailers are willing to give the discount rather than loose the sale. Cause you don't have to tell them that you are going to reorder the device.
It's gets better Aaron. About to make the phone call today and I decide to check the order status first. Turns out it shipped yesterday! Tracking says it left Hong Kong and is now in Dubai.
Dilemma now becomes can I face taking delivery (or not) of it and returning it knowing I could have had it play with there and then...

So what did you do in the end? Just curious!
I kept it Caroline. Much to Karen's dismay. Although that was my stupid fault for telling her about the saving I *could* have made. She then said "Well, if you don't send it back you're wasting £140, so I'm going to go in to town and spend that much, so you're actually wasting twice as much!". True to her word she went shopping and got herself a new pair of boots.
