Dell will match a lower advertised price if the item is identical, in stock, and sold by an authorised Australian retailer. The model, specs, and E-Value code must exactly match. Dell includes shipping and GST in comparisons. Marketplace resellers, overseas sellers, or clearance deals aren’t eligible. You must request the match before buying, there’s no automatic discount.
How do I request a price match from Dell before buying?
You need to contact Dell Sales via online chat or phone with proof of the lower price from a qualified Aussie retailer. Provide the exact link or a dated screenshot showing specs and price. Dell will verify and, if eligible, create a custom checkout link. You can’t get the matched price automatically, it must be manually approved.

If Dell.com.au drops the price of your purchased item within 30 days, you can claim the difference. Submit your order number and a link to the lower Dell price. Refunds are only approved once per item, so time your request carefully. This applies only to Dell’s own pricing, not competitors’.
