    Hahahahaha!
    Just minutes after I made that post, a UKMail van pulled up!
    I have it. Spent time setting it up. It's phenomenal.
    Handles Portal amazingly.
    Goodbye, Order Threaders, and of course, GOOD LUCK!

    Hmmm... So I originally ordered on 3/6, but then I canceled and reordered on 3/13. If I go to 'My Account' it shows my order as in 'Delivery Preparation' and it has been for the last two days. If I click on the Purchase ID it says its status is 'Shipped.' If I click on the Order Number it says its still 'In Production' and it doesn't list a tracking number (only saying 'not shipped'). It did change the EDD from 4/2 to 3/23 the other day. What's the truth here?

    I'm in the US btw...

    Holy crap, it shipped!

    EDD: 3/22

    Talk about massively late, but at least the friggin' thing is coming. Amazingly, I'll look forward to coming into work on a Monday. ;-) (Since it is being delivered there.)

    Ordered 2/17
    EDD 3/30 (maybe)

    Every time my EDD gets close it is pushed back further.
    I hate dell
    Every time I call, get some person in India, saying they can't do anything but cancel the order, they won't even give me next day shipping.
    Anybody have any good ideas how I can turn the screws on dell ?

    Mine too, same EDD. I ordered on February 3rd. Mine's being shipped to my home so I'll be working from home that day. ;)

    With all the calls and complaining I did, I only got Next Business Day delivery out of it. Of course as one last "screw you" from Dell, they ship it with NBD on Friday, making wait until Monday. Probably not planned that way, but it sure seems like it. Oh well, hopefully there's a post ordering review process.

    Did you use EPP with coupons Arrakiv?

    Oh LOL... but I guess the odds of getting it shipped on Friday are 20% anyway :p.

    Btw, just remembered something that my friend told me. I never noticed before that how there is actually an arrow in the FedEx logo between E and x :D

    So I filtered through my emails and as best I can determine:

    I had to put in a change of address request as my rep got it wrong first time around.

    Not only did they take forever to actually change the address, they activated an order that had only been quoted for, not actually placed!

    And just to add insult to injury it shipped a day earlier. So I should get M11X on monday.

    To UK buyers, how long did yours stay on stage 4 (in production, the one before shipping)? I thought I'd be stuck on "work in progress" for ages!

    I was quite surprised mine went to that already, guess it'll be here a little sooner than I expected.

    I guess my calling every other day helped.
    The other day, parts were back ordered, next day, pasts were all in and m11x is being built and boxed, and then yesterday, 03/20/10, received email it shipped!

    ordered 03-09-10
    shipped 03-20-10

    but tracking # does not exist in FedEx website yet.

    From reading all posts and forums, Dells build time and all is correct, but looks like they give a big window for them for any delays/setbacks.
    Hope to receive it Monday, since ordered NBD shipping!

    Forget my last post, I got FedEx to drop it off at the leasing office.

    Been playing around with it all day.
    My only complaint is how quickly the keyboard keys get worn, and my fingers are spotless! My 2 year old laptop's keys look new compared it after just a couple hours use.
    It already looks old. :(

    I have an odd question about ordering. I noticed that there are options for the AlienwareFX colour, etc. What exactly is this?
    I was under the impression that I can modify the keyboard and grill colours using a utility. Is this for something else?

    I ask simply because I don't want to pick a colour I can not change later. Thanks.

    Hello, it can be changed after with the alien FX software included. They only ask because they will deliver with your favorite color already configured and all ready to play with it.
    Mine is supposed to be delivered this friday, can't wait......

    14 or less days I'm hoping.

    How often are people being delayed now? It seems almost every other person has had some form of postponement or another

    bahaha. wow. Dell seems to have this whole process out of whack. I ended up calling the financial number that someone posted in the forums, and it gave me an estimated ship date of March 22nd. But the website says nothing and FedEx has no updates on the shipment. To top it all off its coming ground... , a 1,300 laptop and they dont even send it with express delivery? argh

    I too will wait and wonder if March 22nd is correct or if the systems are just f'd

    how did you get a subtotal of $1,095.72 ?
    Under EPP, the system subtotal is $1069.00 without Bluetooth and WWAN.
    How did you get Bluetooth and GOBI WWAN for just $26 more?

    Oh, haven't been checking in. :p

    Same as you with the shipping. I only got NBD out of them too, despite the complaining. And yes, I ordered EPP and did all of that. I've been wondering if fiddling with the Bluetooth choices screwed it up though, as they apparently kept appearing and disappearing during the day. The non-EPP system didn't have the option and the EPP one did... Did you fiddle with that at all?

    I ordered with Bluetooth also but I'm not sure what constitutes fiddling. I just ordered my stuff and have been waiting ever since. I did change anything along the way if that's what you meant.

    Looks like I'm the big loser! Mine isn't here yet but it is out for delivery.
