*OFFICIAL* M11x Order Status Discussion Thread

My status did update to Next Business Day shipping... So I'm a lil' happier with a 3/4 EDD.

 

From the post just before yours:

"So I would expect your EDDs to move out. The move out also deactivates the automated systems Dell has that tries to cancel orders by forcing you to call or email to reconfirm that you want to wait and keep the order active."

 

You and me both.

 

What does this even mean?

 

Just cancelled my order, bought a MAXED out M11x from ebay from a seller who has it IN HAND with PICTURES of the unit BNIB. He is FedExing it overnight to me !!!!! HELLZZZZ YEAHHHHH!!!!

Here is the link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...3212&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_13835wt_1408

WOOT CANT WAIT!!!!!

PS - It was 1 of only 2 on ebay ^_____^

 

That one is a bit pricey. Whats the difference between that and your previous one?

 

I paid around $950 for the prev one, but did not get BT, got the stock HD and RAM with the plan to buy the components from Newegg.

Price is in no way, shape, or form an object for me, I just hate giving money to a lackluster company like dell. Dont get me wrong, I love their products and deeply adore my M15x but I feel the support is far from where it needs to be for such high quality products.

Also, I will update you guys to make sure I had no issues cancelling with Dell and will post a review as soon as she comes in! Good luck to everyone else waiting for Dell to ship your orders, which will probably be sometime in the end of april or may or june or....considering its dell....sometime by the end of this year.

God speed!

 

Awesome! Congratulations =D

 

Purolator called me today to tell me it would be delivered on Tuesday March 2. That's only 11 business days after placing my order!!!

Someone saw it was a M11x and thay had to open the box and look at it... Kidding...

 

That seller has a 94% rating. On eBay, a 94% rating (for me anyway) = absolutely no go. Also, a number of his buyers mentioned delays of between a month and six weeks before receiving the product. Did you notice the only item he has for sale is the M11x? As the saying goes "Don't count your chickens until they're hatched."...

 

And by buying the M11x from an ebay seller your ultimately giving your money to which company again?

 

Yeah, seems like a bit of patience could have paid off unless you just really wanted to get the better system without reordering through dell and waiting for the whole process again.

It seems like more and more orders are going out; I don't think it hurts to be patient unless you're in some sort of situation where it was time critical to get the laptop.

 

With fees the way they are, most of it will go to eBay.

 

This , and it contributes to the tertiary market. The same way used games do.

Also, the dell rep confirmed to me before I cancelled that there is indeed a parts shortage and the chances of me recieving my order by the EDD were slim.

For those who are unfamiliar with even the most basic functions of ebay, please note the following:
- He guarantees to ship within 24 hours in the order info
- He has proof of it in hand
- His last 18 transactions for the past year have all been excellent with very positive feedback
- His only negative comments were from his early sales

This thread is not about ebay however, so please stay on topic. I am confirming another dell rep who stated that my EDD was likely to be pushed back.

 

^yeah i agree with u guys, i just got updated from 'build' to 'shipping prep' stage in 9 days and my edd was 3/19. i hope it comes by next thursday, because i will be going to NY for four days. btw anything that i should do/see in NY, it will be my first time there

 

Yeah there is something seriously wrong with the way dell is handling this situation. People order and get their systems sent out in 11 days or 9, and we that ordered when it first came out get screwed something just doesn't add up.

I mean no offense to those that just ordered and are getting their systems.
Congrats.

 

Still in build... OD: 2/3

x . x

 

@arcade - damn dude, there are 3 M11x's for sale on ebay right now with 500 hdd, BT, 4GB, and C2D all for 1100 w/ free shipping. too bad they look hella sketchy tho. but i understand your reasonings

 

OK, great, I look forward to your pictures tomorrow in the ***Official Arrival Thread*** . Apologies for going off topic...

 

sorry sanderz, maybe its because i got the SU4100.. and i heard that 2/3 is the 'bad production line' group or something

 

@ Rhodan

Wow.. 11 days and yours shipped.. that's just crazy beans.
Words can't express my jealousy for your easy peasy transaction.. 23 days and counting from order date.. still building.

 

Some people might have already noticed this (since I think it was an issue before). But the EPP site for the M11x still has restricted configurations... While I just noticed the normal dell.com page for the M11x has the $799 base config.

Has it been like this the entire time?

 

They are ALL not in hand, I messaged the seller. They will order a system from dell and then sell it back to you.

 

How is it Brand New, sealed in box, if its overclocked?

 

Lwlz.. wow.. that is some sweet con artestry, unless you arent from the US

 

The dont have restrcited configurations. Build your system on the normal site, and email the cart to yourself. Call a EPP rep then forward the cart to him/her. They will place the order and you will get the EPP price.

 

You mean on their part? Yes, it is. A lot of people do not notice that they never state they have them in hand, I will attach a screenshot for the non believers

 

You should probably learn how to change the canvas size in MS Paint.

 

@ceol = Still in purgatory? Finding that the Sidewinder is waaaay too big for this laptop.

 

I think ceol is.. I am still too. as the days good bye.. i'm losing the hype and starting to feel like i should cancel or something i dunno.

 

@nuke Yup still in purg. How is your M11x?

 

i anxiously await the tracking number you get from that ebay deal to see if you actually get it before the rest of us.

seems fishy. I'd never go there. Good luck.

 

Pics and one of a kind proof of ownership and excellent feedback on eBay? Very fishy!

 

Purolator is great. I got mine today at 1pm EST. Everytime I order something from onhop.ca or DirectCanada.com, it's always Purolator and they are really fast.

I'll be uploading a youtube video with Software performance (photoshop, 3D studio Max etc.) instead of game benchmarks (ton of those already). See you all in the owner's thread

 

How long does it take to get the tracking number after the phone says prepared to ship? The order status still shows in production.

 

Normally its around 24 hours, but since we are going into the weekend, your order should ship on monday morning! Nice!

 

I take the time to provide links, please take the time to read them:

"Brand new in box, opened only to fully customize with all proper drivers/updates, install Office 2010, and to stress-test for stability! 100% MINT CONDITION in Factory Box & Packaging!
Fully loaded with upgrades and additional software included! Read on for more details!"

Ergo, it is better than a unit from Dell because it is guaranteed to be stable when OC'd.

 

and how much are they selling for?

 

He has one unit left, $1299. It includes a lot of nice software and is pretty much the price you pay from Dell (unless you nickel and dime with EPP and other coupons)

 

It was shipped on the 6th day... 11 business days is delivered!

Edit: It was 8 business days to shipping, not 6.

 

lol "nickel and dime". $250 is totally nickel and diming.

 

amazing for you .. -sigh- I think i'm cursed

 

@ dark.. Ceol and I are right there with you Bro! Going on day 23 now.

 

@arcade

lol, you said to go back to topic and then post 4 more posts about your ebay purchase. nice one. If you are willing to pay for a more expensive unit and have increase risk by buying it through a third party. Go right ahead. Please stop justifying your purchase and just give us your order status when he gives you it in 24 hours. Personally I wouldn't take that risk.

@ darka

You can't cancel your order anymore. You are in the same boat as me: unlucky on parts and production lines but they are building ours, so we can't cancel em anymore.

 

well personally i wouldn't think of it as a better unit from Dell because Dell goes through a testing phase themselves and if they catch anything they can fix it on the spot. He claims he stressed tested it but who knows? and what if there were instabilities he would have to send it back to Dell anyway. You paid a premium from a 3rd party that probably would have to send it back to Dell if there was something wrong with it anyway and he could've skeeted on the screen and wiped it off and sent it right to you for all you know. I am glad you're happy with your purchase but yeah, you really don't need to go trying to justify your purchase..

 

mmm majority of people are getting their m11x that this thread is slow now .. i have a feeling i'll be old and still be posting in this thread.

@The_A33a33in

yea I know .. just said it to make myself feel confident

 

Sorry to hear that many of the people here find ebay to be some sort of flea market and prefer to wallow in their ignorance.

The only differences for me from keeping my order from dell is better specs and I get it in a few days, not a few months, by which time this computer will already be obsolete.

The configuration I purchased is pretty much the same cost of the one on Dell's site, so I'm not sure where you guys get some of these outlandish facts...

 

Hey if your rich like that and want to pay 1299$ you can buy mine, it's coming on Monday. I only paid 750$ because of coupons, im sure the same guy you bought it from did the same.

 

The people who ordered 2/2-2/4 were able to secure a fairly nice discount of ~$250 by stacking coupons on the EPP site before they killed the stacking and later raised the price. I think the average was around $800-900 for a very nicely configured M11X.

 

Yeah mine was $884 total after my rep threw in free overnight. Specs are SU7300, 4GB RAM, 160 HDD, Bluetooth, and Gobi (which really knocked it up). Totally worth the wait if it comes on my EDD, not so much if it comes a month after.
