    I did the 7-day shipping and ordered on 2/19. It was scheduled for 3/4 delivery but arrived on 2/25. So expect it sooner than the estimated date.

    I know that forum I linked to can be alittle jarring to read since it is almost 250 pages long. This is a very helpful tip posted by Amartin56:

    "More useful info. I was able to determine my FedEx tracking number prior to Dell providing it. Will probably only work if your system is already at the freight forwarder (I'd say this would be when the automated line I gave above says it has shipped...usually with an absurd date it seems). Go to:

    https://www.fedex.com/AltRefTracking?cntry_code=us

    Don't enter an account number, use your order number for reference number and enter your zip code.

    My system was ordered on the 18th and it looks like it should be out for delivery tomorrow, but according to the tracking FedEx doesn't have it yet."

    This will let you know that your item has shipped long before dell will. My dell order status didnt update to shipped until almost 2 days after it actually shipped. I ordered mine two days before you and it is being delivered tommorow (im in florida) so depending on who they use to ship (fedex or ups) you will probably receive it saturday or monday at the latest...

    Allright thanks. Two things-

    1. As soon as i posted this, my order status changed from in production to order preparation.
    2. Do I absolutely need my account number for the FedEx tracker thing?

    my order never said order prep just went straight from in production to shipping, but (from my experience) your order has probably already left dell and is en route to the fedex hub or is about to be picked up.
