    I ordered on 2/13 EDD 3/17, Silver, i7 720, Dual 4870, RGB, blu-ray burner, 250HD 7200rpm's. They don't have a shortage of CPU's so I'm thinking that if anything will hold you guys up, it may be the HD's

    There is a stage that says "Manufacturing Build Complete"

    I'm in Australia so i'm not sure if the process is different here, but from that stage all that is left is shipping (to country then to local courier then dispatch from local courier)

    Took me forever to get an EDD and I was scared - Constantly hassling my rep...

    But part way through my "in progress" stage I actaully got it on the website. Speak to your rep or a sales person - they usually know more that what the site says.

    It's incredible they've had it so long!... I've dealt with Pioneer before, you don't know "hate" yet.

    Far out - To be honest i have never had that problem with DELL before (i have had delays but not when it's arrived in Aus).

    Usually only takes MAX 3 days... Even when i ordered the R1 a while back it only took that long.

    I guess I will find out soon enough anyways!

    I have a reply from my sales rep with all the usual apologies for delays and inconveniences and about an hour after that my order status has an EDD!!!!!... The only problem with that is, it's dated today, 15th March even though the status of my unit is "Work in Progress"... Looks like they slapped any old date in there in the hopes I'll go away and stop bothering them.

    My website still says EDD 3.19

    Just called and my ETS is still 3.17

    Expecting my delay email any second now since others are being pushed into April

    If so i will cancel - might as well wait for the 5870s at this point

    Mine shipped March 9/10 from the factory, said it was on the truck for delivery should get it today or tomorrow. It took from the 9th to 12th to get it into Canada.

    You should get yours this week depending which city you are in.

    When did yours ship? When it is in transit in the US you can't get any other update until it gets into Canada, once mine came into Canada it went to Calgary and will then get shipped to Sask. if you know where that is :D

    Well, I've been checking every day (truthfully, mulitiple times a day) sseing as how my current laptop's hinge has almost completely failed and one of the fans has failed as well. Still EDD of 4/1/10 but nmy last m17x came a week early so I'm hoping this one will too (I don't evebn want to think about if being delayed or canceled).

    Also, apparently whatever glitch I had that allowed me to combine certain coupons together has been fixed so I probably will be sticking with this one baring something catastrophic (or the codes working together again).

    Yeah I have an EDD of 3-17 (ship date 3-16) and I have yet to leave the build stage. Just got off the phone with them and the guy said he doesn't see anything holding up the order, and that he will expidite it(lol ok) so I was polite and hung up hoping for the best.

    Guess we will see. If it does happen to be pushed back I might fight for a bag, since I haven't got one yet. Who knows.
