    Wiki also says that plant is being shut down, lots of jobs gone with manufacturing moving to poland. I wonder when... found a few articles so wiki is def correct.

    /is impatient

    Wish I could know where it's going to be built.

    I am not sure if this helps anyone but...

    I ordered on 2/24 (phone in order through EPP) and got an original EDD of 3/29

    On 3/2 the status changed to in production

    On 3/6 my order showed SHIPPED with an EDD of 3/10

    My Fedex number originated on 3/6 but was not active nor showing updates until 3/8

    ... and finally the Fedex number shows it should be at my door on 3/10 :-D

    I ordered out of Tampa, FL and the unit shipped out of Ellenwood, Georgia (which is a Dell Tech Center)

    Good luck to everyone waiting on their orders... I am just hoping I get a good unit as opposed to all of the complaints I have heard from others.

    Yeah Fedex home is basicly "as fast as possible on the ground" so if you live close to where it ships from it'll be next-day.

    LOL, if you think that's slow have a look back in the thread! There are guys with estimated delivery dates 8 weeks from the date of placing their order. UK orders seem to be shipping faster but still, I'd prepare yourself to be waiting at least two weeks.

    So, this is the end of the road on order status (for a lot). The great big push is happening this week where Dell/AW will birth thousands of M11X's. See you all in the owner's lounge (FINALLY!).

    Shipping date on mine has been put back to the 26th March :(
    The idiot who I ordered with over the phone only put it through as a quote, not an order...
    Also, my UK order is showing South Africa Dell Bluetooth. Why South Africa? Is this normal. And the Alienware TactX mouse isn't on the order, like it should be with the ESL Pro dealio going on. They're still advertising it, therefore they still have to be selling it as they're saying it.

    It seems like that everyone who talk about the delay are those who ordered the Cosmic Black color... Maybe the request for black is much higher than expected? Anyway, I put in my order last week, 3th March... Rep confirm payment but still have not got a EDD yet, it is stuck at Order Recieved at the moment... I wonder how long will I have to wait... I hope the EDD won't get push put all the way in April... :-| Crossing my finger and hoping for an early EDD.

    Just got a question for everyone, I thought the Alienware m11x only has 10/100Mb LAN... But I just notice on my order confirmation it said 10/100/1000Mb LAN??? So weird... Did they change the part or something?

    @wow = I got told mine was delayed because it was silver/grey so my bet is that the rep is fibbing.

    My rep just called me back and tried to feed me the "you're still in the build/testing stage" bs and just yesterday he said it's boxed up and waiting to be picked up and should be yesterday or today. Automated MSG says prep to ship. Such BS these reps are giving me. He had my tracking number since sunday night. And he didn't give it to me. I had to call another rep to give it to me. Such bad customer service I got today.

    My wife got a call today from dell saying to expect them tomorrow, however Fedex tracking numbers that they gave her (same ones i got earlier) are ground shipments scheduled for delivery on Thursday....

    Sucks my wife took tomorrow off because of that phone call she got, i had to give her bad news :p

    All good though, I have a 3 day weekend coming up and I'll have it by then either way so I'm being optimistic.

    Errrr... Dell Rep is so useless... I just check my order status... It was stuck from order recieve for the past 7 days and it is now order cancelled??? I call The Dell Rep... Her response, must be the credit card address does not match with address provided... I was like, that is not possible, I do know where I lived... Dell Rep said she will put the order in again... Immediately after I hung up the phone... I call my bank / credit card... Just to check if there was any payment request coming from Dell... The bank / credit card told me, nope... There have not been any payment, not even payment rejection, the bank said normally if a credit card payment is rejected for any reason, the bank will keep a record of the rejection code / reason, so in my case, Dell simply did not process my credit card for payment at all... So I call the Dell Rep
    back, and told the Dell Rep that you guys have never charge my credit card for the computer... Dell Rep then told me, there must be something wrong with our credit card processing system... She will personally keep a track of it this time, if there is any problem, She will call you back... This is what puzzle me, why didn't you keep track of it in the first place? I've got money in my account for you to take, why don't you just take it and process my order... Ahhhhhh... Dell is so incompetent... Now, I don't even have a valid order number, nor do I have any EDD... What should I do??? This is so stupid... Dell please take my money, please...

    @wowpeter = hi, my name is Dell and I want $1,000,000 :D first thing's first, you said you checked your order status then said you don't have an order number... Care to clarify? As for charging credit cards, they usually only charge after you receive your machine and the invoice that comes with it. Don't fret too much on it, I was stuck in Order Received for a week.

    I would file a complaint with Dell's unresolved issues/escalations department.

    Easiest way is sending an e-mail to [email protected] or [email protected] (I would just send it to both).

    All those e-mails filter through to escalations (they dont actually go to Mr Dell.)

    Shipping Method: Next Business Day

    Estimated Delivery Date: 3/31/2010


    Hope it comes earlier!
