    How many days would it take the status to go from "delivery preparation" to "Shipped"?

    Mine's now in Warsaw, PL and from there it flys directly to Germany :) Unfortunately I'm not at home tomorrow so I'll have to pick up myself at UPS on Thursday..
    Glad that everything went smooth with Dell Germany...
    Feel sorry for you in India. :(

    You know what? - I really envy you.

    You are about to incept that delightful feeling ahead! That feeling that I have already in my past so won't have it more in the nearest time. Feeling when you unpack your XPS and hit that Power button and see the beast being brought to life for the first time :rolleyes:

    Do you agree that most people are ordering the 15 followed by 17 then 14? I hardly see anyone that ordered the 14.

    Ja das hoffe ich auch :) Es hat um kurz nach 21 Uhr Warschau verlassen und ist nun wohl endgültig auf dem Weg nach Deutschland.. Ich wohne in Düsseldorf also sollte es auch ganz gut gehen, da die meisten Sachen von UPS eh über Köln gehen glaube ich... Aber morgen kann ich es eh nicht in Empfang nehmen also haben sie noch bis Donnerstag Zeit :)

    Yeah I hope so too... shortly after 9pm it left Warsaw on a direct way to Germany I hope. I live in Dusseldorf which is a good thing cause UPS transfers all the packages vie Cologne :)

    Agreed. I'm one of the few that ordered the 14. But most I've seen is 15, then 17, then 14 like you mentioned.

    Also, I think the best 'deals' I've seen are on the 15.

    I think I would have gotten the 15 if I could have gotten the 445M with it.

    Having check quite some of the ordering+shipping dates, it seems as if the production/shipping takes about a week longer for people in the USA compared to Europe.

    Couple of euro's here had it ordered, build and shipping in 3 weeks, myself included, where as most of the USA people count up to 4 weeks.

    So seems as if diffirent factories produce for diffirent continents.

    Maybe I'm wrong though...

    Same as mine except for processor, amount of RAM and wireless card. Even the same state. I hope that means mine will ship soon too.

    Will it show Delivery Prep online, or do I need to call for that one? Thanks.

    PS: OOH it's ONLINE!!! DELIVERY PREP FOR ME TOO!!! I wonder if we will ship today so we get it Black Friday if you got overnight too or get lucky and it ships from NJ :D Or does it stay in prep a few days? Thanks.

    Not sure. It doesn't have the 6300 Wireless that seems to be the big thing holding orders up. Maybe because it is a 14 or the i3. Haven't seen to many specs on here for 14s or i3s.

    But the configuration is small or not? I think that the problem is the number of orders that they are attending

    It's looking like the 15s are shipping quick so hopefully like early December. My 17 took 12 days and was supposed to be 25.
