    hi, i ordered my m15x last Friday (24th) and phases have gone like this:

    Phase 1: 24th
    Phase 2: 27th
    Phase 3: 28th
    Phase 4: 28th
    Phase 5: 29th
    Phase 6: 29th
    Phase 7: 30th
    Phase 8: 30th
    Phase 9: 30th

    This is pretty fast to do a 200 point inspection! has anyone else experienced their order going this fast? I also upgraded my screen on the 29th and was told it would add about 3 days to my order!

    I called alienware a moment ago to confirm my disbelief that they had actually shipped my system (i thought it was a computer error) but its awaiting pickup by DHL! wooohooo!

    this leads me onto my second question, how long has it taken other people in the uk to receive their m15x from the time they noticed the final phase light up? im not sure where the systems are built? ireland? im in cornwall, not sure if that makes a difference!?! the guy at alienware said it would take a day and then said it would be with me in about 3 days! what??? i thought i would just wait for my DHL tracking number and see what that says!

    sorry if im rambling, im really exited! im going to stop typing now! honest!

    The DHL tracking number should be a lot more reliable on telling you when you'll receive your system. As for the 200 point inspection, I thought the same exact thing when I was going through the phases and here was the answer I got:

    That is pretty **** fast. You might get your m15x as fast as mine and you're in the UK!

    iv still not got the tracking number, there goes my hope of getting it tomorrow!

    im still intrigued to know where alienware assembles their systems for uk import or if they assemble them in their ireland branch!? does anyone know?

    how long has it taken someone else in the uk to receive their shipment?
