    How long after you order your R3 were you able to track it?

    I ordered my R3 today around noon and when I log into Dell it says no recent orders to display. Any idea how long it takes to be able to track its progress? Yes I am excited and I am sure the next few weeks will feel like they going up forever until I get the beast. I know its the first day of ordering it but should I not be able to see the order online by now or does it take a few days? Cheers!

    Takes about 3 business days according to the site (AUS Dell). Won't be up straight away but should be up once your payment has gone through.

    My order showed up on the order support website about 15 hrs after I ordered it. It showed "In Production". I wanted to change some things on it but it was too late that is how I remember. It stayed "In Production" on the website until it was "Shipped" a few days ago. The automated order system is not working well. It told me last week that my order was shipped on 4/19 lol.

    The only way I could keep track of its progress was to call the order status line and get a rep. who would tell me it was built or waiting to be shipped. I called a couple of times and arranged to get an email when it was shipped which they did. I also got a call today letting me know it had been shipped and that they would call on Wed to make sure I get it tomorrow.
