Dell tightens belt
September 30th, 2005
Dell has finally realized that free shipping of their low-end systems costs them money.
Shipping costs amount to $99 or more for three to five-day ground delivery, according to Dell’s Web site, but Davis said free shipping is “very common” because of its popularity among customers.
When you are talking about a system that is less than $500 to begin with, expecting Dell to eat $99 is ludicrous.
