    That is not true - I picked mine up at the depot. You just need to call FedEx as soon as you get your tracking info and tell them to hold it at location because you will not be home. then go in with picture Id that has the exact name and address it is shipped to and they will give it to you.

    Mine's scheduled to be delivered today (Portland, OR) but as of 4:45 this morning it was still in Memphis.

    It better be on a plane right now... :confused:

    This morning I got a PLEASANT SURPRISE!!!!!!!
    My status changed from Production to shipped with a tracking number :)
    It is already on the FEDEX delivery truck :D

    PS: My ODD was 2/27. I was planning to sending them an email to expedite the order but now its unnecessary.

    @ nuke... must be an interesting scene with your alienware in a lecture hall :)

    Anyway, I finally got an EDD... but it is 8th April... such a long wait... almost one month from now... and I place my order on 3rd March... I am contemplating canceling the order and go get a Sony Z115 instead... sigh... what to do what to do...

    @gahoo - I am sorry for you. Did you try emailing them or talking to your Sales rep/Customer care to expedite your order?

    @gahoo - May be threatening them with cancelling the order might help. Did you already do that?

    But you are 4 days away (which would feel like eternity. I completely understand if you feel like that) so I am not sure if its worth it.

    After 4 weeks "in production" I doubt my current 15th EDD will hold. I think they want the early purchasers who got good deals to cancel tbh.

    That make sense, if not, I can't understand what is happening to you and some others in the same situation.

    I hope mine comes the EDD.

    Wooohoo! It's out for delivery today. Wish they could have told me that yesterday when I rang :p
    Trying to get my boyfriend to coordinate with the Interlink guy and then I'll get it today, otherwise it'll be tomorrow :)

    Ordered on the 1st of this month.

    How long, roughly, is the computer in the "Work in Progress" stage?
    I'm getting very impatient, partially because the idiot rep only sent my a quote when I wanted to order it. He only put the order through a few days later when we called.

    Great, so that means mine would've been In Production by now had the idiot Dell rep placed the order on the 6th, when I called, rather than the 9th when I called to say "What the hell, Dell. No order confirmation yet?"
    Ah well...

    The rep said to us it might take a day or two for the payment to go through and to receive the next email.
    So, my dad (Yes, he's the one who ordered it on his card. I'm 15 and Dell don't accept Visa Electron) waited until the 9th to do anything.

    Try refreshing the online order status page for over a month... I'm getting repetitive strain injury here.

    In other news the prices for the M11x have almost doubled here in Japan since I ordered. There's now no smaller memory option than 8GB which no doubt doesn't help that fact but still... insane. I hope they make good on my order...

    Wow, you're not kidding!
    212,250 yen works out to be around £1559! That's insane!
    Mine cost £729, with the Core 2 Duo. Had I chosen the 8GB option, it would've been £1109, and it already comes with a bigger HDD, 320GB vs. 250GB.

    Yeah, there's no way in hell I'd pay almost £1600 for one without an SSD drive as standard. Thankfully I got it a little cheaper than I would have in the UK, had I ordered the same spec there, but I'd have paid more to be getting the UK's level of service I guess. That and I'd have it by now. Swings and roundabouts ;S

    Oh just about the free game download people mentioned, where do you find that? I get the feeling my order didn't include that. No biggy, I have Bioshock 2 already but was going to give the download to a friend.

    My guess is that he must have paid the full retail price for it. If you want to get it quick, do not haggle the Dell for discounts: pay the full price!

    I ordered mine on 3-2-2010, and got it delivered this morning. Unfortunately Fedex delivered it to the wrong address, and I had to spend 2 hours trying to track it down. Now that I have it, it is awesome.
