Allright guys, here is my advice when you buy from dell:
1. Go on the web site, use the configurator to configure the laptop you want.
2. Apply any vouchers you may have.
3. Just before the payment page take a screenshot instead of paying for the laptop - say the price after all the vouchers is £1000.
4. Deduct your 6% QuidCo from the price, so the net now becomes £940.
5. Pickup the phone and speak to Dell sales, they'll probably put you through to someone in India, and just tell them you can buy this for £960, email them the screenshot and see if they can beat it.
I have done it this week, ordered two Vostros for £1130+VAT (a saving of about £100 after using vouchers and QuidCo) and I also got two free bags (£25 each on Dell's web site). They won't give the discount straight away, you need to be patient and persistent asking for it. Details below if you're interested:
