Just ordered my M15x!

I chose to finance, when/how will I know that I've been approved? I did not get any e-mail indicating that I was denied, however, I do have to call Alienware to apply for financing. The confirmation e-mail also indicated that I was to receive my approval within 7 days. So, I did get approved right?

It was either this or a Dell XPS at $2,200, but it only had an 8600M GT. I figured that the extra $500 was nothing comapred to the performance gain with the M15x.

Anyways, it all came up to $2,700 (CDN). Specs are as follows:

Welcome to the family! If you were already initially approved when you signed up for the financing, then you should be approved already.

 

I actually cancelled two previous Dell XPS orders, and they actually required me to fax/scan my two pieces of ID and a major bill for security/validation reasons. I would imagine this would be a similar case.

Does this mean that I was not approved? Or do they require some extra information?

 

I didn't have to send any extra information when I signed up for financing. All it ever required were the information that I gave to them when I first initially signed up for it. I didn't need to send any form of ID or bill to verify myself.

 

Did you have to call them after you went through the checkout? Because in my confirm. Email, it indicates that I have to phone in for further intructions.

 

Not even. I didn't need to. I'm not quite sure if they changed the procedure though.

 

when I signed up it took a couple minutes online they said I was approved gave me the amount and let me place an order if I recall correctly. However I had a dell account from years previous

 

yea i just ordered and i was wondering the same thing last thing the alienware guys told me on the phone was i was in some verification stage

 

i ordered my m17 7 days ago and i put it on the credit card cuz they charged like 22 interest and the car donly had like 10 i think any way it took 7 days to get apporved now the bluetooth is backordered sigh ill live i guess

 

Heya, goodluck on your m15x!! and hope you will be happy with your notebook and giving it a lot of love

nice rig and a very wise idea to upgrade the ram yourself!!

 

W00t! I'm in Phase 3 now. Just ordered yesterday.

Where can I find an ETA?

 

the order page.

there is no constantly updating ETA... unless they changed it from when I ordered.

 

Where does Alienware do the actual building/manufacturing?

 

Miami, Fl for north american customers and someplace beginning with A in Ireland for european/international customers.

or are these the warranty repair stations? i can't remember...

 

Just curious, what are your average 3D Mark '06 scores?
