*OFFICIAL* M17x Order Status Thread...

lol, have fun with that!! just dont get in trouble

 

what trouble could i get into?

*insert sheepish grin here*

 

Ordered 7/29

Then I found this site. I did not get any deals, discounts, etc.

My CSR claimed he put in a request to expedite it for me, but I am still "In Production" online and "In Processing" by phone. That tells me I am still in line. Which is too bad, I go out of town soon and my old laptop is slowwww.

 

if you are still pre-production, call and cancel it...then you can get some of the discounts that are strewn about the forum.

 

He's not in pre-production.. Didn't you read his post? lol

Anyway, I would cancel and get the discounts but that's just me. I don't have much money so any saved is a win for me.....

Oh, don't use the automated phone number on Dell's site. Go to the first post in this thread and do that for detailed order status.

 

ok...my bad, i mis-quoted....

he said that the phone gave his status as "processing"...like i said, you should still be able to cancel at this point...do that and then reorder with your discounts.

oh...sleey0....pbbbbbtttt.....
heh

 

I'm not keeping up with this thread. Are you in boxing yet?

 

I had my order messed up because of DFS.

They blocked my acct so now I have to wait until I get home (Wed) to get the verification letter.

I guess I just need to verify info on the letter and then my order will move from "Order Processing" (it's on hold right now) into production....

 

Hey guys, How long did you guys wait for shipping on your M17x?

 

b0oMer;
you can also look in the M17x Owners lounge thread as well.

 

This time I used the phone number on the first post.

It stated I am in the Build stage.

Shame on me for not using the other number first.

 

Alright so here is my story.

I found this thread/forum while at work last night eagerly anticipating the arrival of the M17x. My dilemma is I used the Order status number from the first page but and it says that the product has been sent to the shipping outlet blah blah... then is says on sept 22, 1999??? Did i fubar something???

Ordered July 24th
Production July 24th

EDD Aug 12

Please help

 

nope, fedex reuses their tracking numbers...either that or you accidentally put in the wrong order number on the phone system (i did that myself and i got all confused).

 

This isn't an issue with Fedex is it? Order number is strictly a dell thing?

I tried 4 times I am 100% sure i input the correct number.

I get the item has been sent to... on Sept 22nd 1999.

 

This build stage (according to the automated phone system) is a killer... online shows 'In Production' with no data available for Estimated Ship Date. ARGH. Then again, the order was only keyed in on 7/30.

 

/doh...i would say you should actually talk to a CSR.

 

Your not in the US, are you? lol

 

FedEx is pissing me off....still no M17x....

 

hey man, i called fed ex earlier today...

dell containerizes their shipments (like down to them major city) and they dont break out those pallets until the day (afternoon or evening) before they are to be delivered. we are just going to have to wait until tomorrow to get our toys man....

relax...it will be super duper sweet tomorrow.

 

if it doesnt get here tomarrow, im gonna call em and complain....alot...


EDIT: this sucks!!! i work tomarrow D'=

 

WOOT!!! tracking updated. its in Billings. gonna be here tomarrow morning!!!

 

take it off...

new 'puter > work

 

No I'm in Canada, I suppose as always we get the shaft when it comes to deals?

I'll just keep reading reviews/watching videos/looking at pics.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a good M17x mod/upgrade section maybe ? XD

 

Well, that explains why the detailed order status is wrong. lol

It's for US customers only. Someone else in the US had that order number a long time ago.

 

Well It's no Biggie dude, this thread and others have been informative, next is where is the best upgrade/mod thread? I ordered mine with stock ram//hdd and have plans to upgrade, looks very simple. And from what I've read about the bios Changing to raid should be as simple as my desktop.

Also this is my first High end Laptop, I currently have an HPdv7, which is nice, but, the 9600m has limitations, I expect NO limitations with the 280M's in SLI

 

@delfante1:

This whole forum seems to be the best mod/upgrade thread Seriously, coming from the Dell XPS section, specifically the M1730 Owners Lounge thread - first thing I noticed how everything was out in the open. Also the Moo and others have posted a few (now stickies) that group quite a bit of info together.

In the end, if you cant find it via Search, post the question. We're all friendly here...

 

I am noticing how things work here slowly, I only found the site this time yesterday, and I can only read so fast In any case you do all seem friendly, but we all have one great thing on common our love for toys.

 

ordered my m17x through bestbuy on 7/21. they said it would take 2 weeks max to ship, still no word from them on the status, just "backordered". kind of disappointing.

 

Ouch - BestBuy and their 'Freak Squad'... never could stand those folks. Just like Fry's Electronics, most of them don't know 'hair one' about what they are selling...

Have you tried talking to a supervisor?

 

Can I haz alienware nao plz ??
