    Koeln, Germany 14/07/2012 4:05 Departure Scan

    It departed Cologne, Germany at 4am and been off the radar since. Surely the UK isn't 8 hours flight away.

    Still waiting for mine. EDD is up in 4 days. Ordered on the 25th. I have a feeling since I called so many time that they are delaying my order on purpose.

    Did it show as already assembled on their website?

    Or is Nvidia just failing to deliver those lower-bin 670 chips?


    With Nvidia's architecture screw-up in early 2012 and subsequent low yield coming out of TSMC, they should have loads of 670 chips that failed at the desired clock speed - now to be repurposed at lower clock speeds for mobile computers and proudly renamed to "GTX 680M" :p


    My EDD is the 23rd, so I guess I'll hang out in this thread ^^

    When I spoke to a rep, he told me that my revised date was the 24th. Like you, my Order Status page never updated from my original EDD. :confused: .

    Next thing you know, my order has shipped on my original EDD (13th)!

    I wouldn't put too much into what the Rep's say! I'd only start to worry if nothing has happened after your EDD on your Order Status page. :)

    I got an official e-mail from Dell saying my date had changed to the 24th. I kept checking my Order Status anyway. I was curious to see if my EDD would change when it hit the 13th.

    I checked on the 13th to find that my Order had shipped lol!

    Like I said, start worrying if you go past your EDD date and your no further.

    Good luck! :D

    I know a bit about Walsh Western from when my delivery service was (briefly) with them before it changed to UPS.

    Firstly, use the below link to track your order. Syncreon is the parent company of Walsh Western.

    https://seal.syncreon.com/synview-o...ESSIONID=E8035EA0-9F8F-2980-11E1-CE9D0A729B84

    Secondly, you need to change the numbers for your Customer and Order references to make them work.

    For Customer Number, change the "GB1" to 02. For instance, your Customer Number is GB1XXXXXXXX change this to 02XXXXXXXX.

    For Order Number, add a 0 to the front of your number and remove the last digit. E.g. 27XXXXX6 to 027XXXXX

    Hope this helps!

    Also, have you had your e-mail from Dell yet stating your Order has been Shipped?

    My order status page showed WWI until I got Dells e-mail. When I got their e-mail it was actually UPS who had my order!

    Could be the same for you?!?

    Hmmm, mine didn't match either when I was supposed to be with them.

    You will probably find when you get the e-mail from Dell your order is in fact with UPS.

    I got my e-mail around 5pm on the day that my Order Status changed to "Shipped".

    Who can I call/e-mail to get a more in-depth report about the status of my order? Based on what I have read online about production time, I doubt it will make my EDD.

    Trying to remember what some of you guys have said, has anyone had their order sit in pre-production for a while and still get to them on time? My order was on 7/5 and still shows pre-production with an EDD of 7/23.

    I ordered 7/6 too!!! about noon-ish eastern time and it went into production about 10 minutes after Dell called me to confirm my credit card with them (some stupid issue with billing address). In any case, my EDD is 7/20 which includes next business day shipping. I am HOPING maybe it comes mid week since a lot of people get it sooner.

    I ordered around 6PM Eastern Standard Time and got an EDD of 7/19. I too am hoping that it comes Tuesday or Wednesday but Tuesday seems unlikely.

    Ordered 7-15 with EDD of 7-31. I never even saw pre-production, it says in production now.

    Funny, I used to always tell people that Alienware was a waste of money, and here I am waiting for my own. And I can't wait! Really wasn't much more expensive that the Sager I priced, though. :D

    Just a heads up if you're order seems to be sitting in Pre-Production too long. I called my sales rep today and was informed that he has to cancel and re-issue the order to get Production happening. Looks like my EDD is no longer going to be 7/23 :mad:

    I had a feeling that something was going sideways as my first order before I changed the processor went into production within a day and this one had been sitting in Pre-production for ten.

    It was hit or miss for me. I waited almost 4 weeks to get mine. It shipped on Saturday out of the blue and actually was delivered today. I am setting it up now and downloading games.

    When I called in about 1 every 3 times I would get someone who could provide me any more details.

    I contacted my rep about a week after I ordered, and contacted Dell directly and got an outsourced rep a few days after that. Both told me that it's in production and still on target for my EDD. Two weeks later I contacted my American rep again and got no response, then my Dell CSR and specifically asked for more information and got the same canned response of, "Your order is in production and still on target to be delivered by your EDD."

    I'd say contact Dell and cross your fingers. You'll either get someone who's actually willing to go the extra mile, or someone who's just going to throw the automated response at you. I hope your luck is better than mine.

    (Ordered 6/26, EDD: 7/19, still in production)
