    you can call 1-800-254-3692. Press option 2 then option 1. Once you enter your order number it forwards you on to a dell automated number where you need to enter the number one more time. It will then say in production and which stage. No Rep or human interface required :)

    Okay, I was happy to see my m18x is going to be delivered on the 31st rather than the 8th of june, however I will be 400 miles from home that week leaving on Monday... So I'll have to sit around a whole week knowing it's at my house :( talk about torture

    And before you ask I ordered the 18th shipped on the 26th all stock but nebula red and cf 6970s

    Very handy. My M18X is in the build stage and says it will be shipped on 27 May. I'm pretty skeptical it's going to go from the build stage to shipped stage in one day so not going to get my hopes up. :(

    Wait what? I know some people that ordered on the 6th that still haven't received it but I ordered on the 17th and I went from a delivery date of 6/8 to 6/6 after I got NBD shipping. I went into production on the 18th so I should be receving it on 6/1 at the greatest. My config in sig. Guess that's life.

    I was hoping you'd finally be in the shipping stage. I'm going to bet yours will ship before mine.

    *sigh*

    Edit: Called the Dell order status thingy and there's no mention of a ship date like before. Wheee!!!

    If you need an english keyboard, ask them and they will send you one for free.

    It take 5 minutes to replace the keyboard.

    "We are currently preparing your order to be shipped."
    That's lastest info I got now. Any idea how long it will take to have my order REALLY shipped? Don't know if they can ship it out tonight so I can have it tomorrow. Otherwise, have to wait until Tuesday ;(

    Alienware has had a shortage of Red and of the wifi HD. People who ordered either or both of those options have had to wait weeks longer.

    Shipping Method: Next Business Day
    Shipped Date: 5/29/2011
    Estimated Delivery Date: 6/3/2011 (updated)
    Carrier: FEDEX GROUND

    Next Business Day clearly. At least she is finally being shipped. I'll be busy this weekend but I should have all the time in the world next week to do some benching with my 2920xm.

    Is it red incidentally? There were rumours about a shortage of red bodies.

    What I do know is that late last week I contacted my rep when my EDD was updated to 14th of June. That would make it over a month between ordering and delivery which I thought was a bit rough. My rep told me there was a part shortage that would not be resolved until the 30th of May and he would see what he could do as a gesture of goodwill. I was expecting an extra hat or something, but he got back in touch with me later the same day to say mine had been completely built... It left the factory on friday, arrived in the country yesterday. It's all a bit weird but either way I would get in contact with your rep.

    OMG I become a little bit worried about my recent m18x order after reading previous threads. I placed it on May 26th and the EDD is June 16th. It's a black one. I really worried about delayed delivery since I'm heading to Hong Kong on June 27th...

    Dell called me this morning to inform me that my order will be shipped tomorrow (Tuesday, May 31st). With the NBD, it will be delivered exactly on Wednesday, June 1st (original EDD).

    Personally, I think although there maybe some shortages, but they still try to work their best to minimize the amount of delay which may cause some cacellations from the customers. So don't lose your hope and you will have yours soon.

    I am back in the wait game since I am getting issued a exchange due to a paint chipped lid. Somehow I wish I can change the order or extend the warranty, but I can't :/
