    Your status says Order recieved i am not 100% sure on how india does thing but There are steps and ur order seems to not even be in production from what i can see on the log it seems its still in billing and not in production you can always email dell if nobody answeing ur calls but also keep in mind maybe this log is incorrect and maybe i would speak with a rep in this case did u recieve an order confirmation email when u placed your order? maybe they are having problems with ur billing? When i placed my order they called me like a day or 2 after to confirm my dell credit but i had an email almost asoon as i hung the phone up after ordering with confirmation #'s and invoice.
    I also notice the dates and deliveries in the production log are in order and yours seems to be next after 1 more there was 2 order placed same day as u maybe ur will be next after those but why 1 by 1 lol very few order in india?

    I understand how depressing waiting can be :( but maybe there is like a very small team or maybe even a single person building them for you in india? remember its dell india not alienware so maybe they are having stuff ship from U.S to India than building it 1 by 1 that what ur log seems to tell me i could be wrong be patient atleast u can be sure that whoever is building it is taking thier time and will be a Good build rather than a mass production one :D if that other order below yours starts soon and yours has not than i might be correct about the process

    Ordered an M17X with a few upgrades today, during the haggling process I mentioned the commonly long waiting times and she promised to mark my order as a priority. Only time will tell :)

    I wonder why Dell does not let you order high performance SSD? They could easily get OCZ or Intel SSD and they are not dumb, I am sure the engineers know those are a million times better than the one they offer... Why not offer the possibility to the high end buyer?

    How long was your order in the build stage? My replacement order was placed 6-10 and has been in the build stage ever since.

    When I call I'm told 3-4 weeks, even though my last replacement took 7 days. Sitting on day 7 now and I cant even get an expected ship date. Its been in build for 7 days. Since the laptop thats getting replaced keeps locking up, everytime it does I get more enfuriated that I may have to wait 3 more weeks.

    Getfound, you should call and have your case escalated. My replacement arrived yesterday so I'll finally get to use it when I get home.

    Maybe refurbs take longer. The only way you can guarantee a new replacement is if you return your laptop for a refund within the 21 day period. And, then reorder.

    I just received mine today, order was placed June 4th. And I must say it looks damn sexy. Everything looks brand new and no damage or dings from what I can see. Still gotta do a more thorough inspection, but so far so good.

    I should clarify, it's a new order. I returned my previous one. However all system exchanges are always new from the factory.

    It took my fail rep 2 weeks to get my order in. I called after the first week and he wouldn't get on the phone. He called back later and gave me a number but not an order number. I checked that number online and it was just a placeholder saying the order was placed, right after I had called him.
    So 2 weeks to get an order number and now the order has been 1 1/2 weeks and went from the build stage to processing.
    Ive already called to escalate the case and the rep said "you're already escalated".

    They very well could have decided to stick you with another R1. I think it happened to one other guy recently. Well few more hours and I'll be back in California. Hopefully this new system is defect free.

    I‘ve heard that most "replacement" orders are refurbished machines or they use some refurbished parts in it. Have you experienced that or heard something about that? Talking about delay, any idea on my 8th week waiting for a keyboard refund?

    I have my specs for an R2 order. I think as a general rule they only send refurbs out to ppl close to the end of their warranty.
    The XPS that the R1 replaced came with a business warranty which is new replacement only. That warranty transferred to my R1 and now R2. They're just dragging it out.

    Somehow, my M17x magically jumped from Oklahoma to Oakland California in a matter of 3 hours... I think it might have been a mistype from Fedex as Oklahoma is nowhere to be found on tracker.
    Either way, its now headed from Oakland to its destination and it should be there within 24 hours you would hope! Least thats 2 days earlier than they ETA.
