How is that idiotic?
If they did it like some companies all shipments would enter where most other Chinese made products do, California or Seattle.
Then anyone on the east coast would take 7 days to receive their package.
This way the planes land directly next to the FedEx distro centers to send out on local shipments.
I think it makes perfect sense.
-
-
-
Yeah, that is odd.
I wonder if they aren't FedEx planes?
Or they could be just cranking out so many laptops right now that they would rather put them on pallets and get them to the US/UK/NZ/etc asap and scan them once they get to their destination country. -

Hey guys, just received dell order acknowledgement. Now I am wondering what CVD is?
Can you guys tell me what it is?
At the end of acknowledgement, it shows like this:
Sub Total: xxxx (the amount)
CVD: --
Delivery Fee --
Yes, both CVD and Delivery fee is empty. -
could be one of these
my guess is "Countervailing Duty (International Trade)" -

shipped yesterday and getting it in.... < 4 hours!!
-
My replacement has been in production for about 10 days now, I've been advised that it should ship shortly. The changed me up to an XPS 17 from an XPS 15, but in exchange upgraded the components immensely, since the XPS 17 does not have a 1080p display. That was nice of them.
I'm getting a reasonably tricked out XPS 17 pretty soon then heh. -
but i do wish u get it in 1 hr
)!!!
-
-
-
I'm not gonna skip class, honestly, especially since I don't need to. The package is being delivered at my campus mailbox, which means there will be someone to pick it up anyways.
Purolator says it's on a truck for delivery, so it should take as long as it takes the truck to do it's run. I really hope it's not too long. -

fedex guy just handed me mine! good luck everybody!

Thats dedication. Post on a forum before opening. ResTecPa

Congrats! Not too bad, just under a month.
-
I was away for 30 mins to pick something up and the fedex guy left me a note that he'll come back tmr...... -
-
Is this hardware code for the display is the one for the 1080p screen?
320-1672 15.6FHD TLF LCD L501X
Just wanna make sure that my order has the 1080p.
Thanks -
It looks like most people in this thread (mine included) are:
320-1673 -
I see most of them are 320-1673 but some are also 320-1672. So my question would be for the people who have 320-1672 what did you ordered?
The description though looks like FHD for Full HD -
yes, it is. I had the same line in specs and I've got myself 1080p
-
Mine arrived this morning at 10:30, I picked it up from the mailing room at 11:45. It's SOOO much better than I expected, and my expectations were HIGH. The screen is amazing, the sound is great. Keyboard is really nice, I love the big touchpad and buttons. I'll post more on the XPS 15 owners lounge.

Woot!!! Order finally sent!!! Now I need to wait for the tracking number and check where it is atm!!! Estimated EDD is 11/26. XD

This email is to inform you that your order is still in the process of assembly and we aim to deliver on or before the estimated delivery date below. [which is 25th nov]
the subject is 'manufacturing notification'. is that mean they just started the manufacturing? great!!! guessing, next monday/tuesday then :SLEEP:
[damn, another weekend without xps!] -

-

hi everyone...I'm from India.
I ordered it on 4th nov. And EDD was on 12th nov.
But still I'm waiting..on 12th they said it will reach by 16th...and now they are saying that due to some compatibility issues due to introduction of nVidia card they are just not able to deliver anyone...they said wait till 24th and call back on that day for the status....I've to go back to my native on 26th...and it really sucks.....don't know when they'll finish up with this compatibility issue... -

I ordered my XPS 15 on 9th nov and 2 days later on 11th nov I reveived my order confirmation. Since then it's stuck in "work in progress". I think that means they are waiting for some parts because the next step will be "production" where they put it together. But 6 days for that status is pretty long. But my EDD is 30th nov so they got some time left....
-
Mine is "out for delivery" should be here in a couple hours! Ordered on 10/27 in the US...
-
and finally received!
-
Congrats! You've just forgotten to remind us what and when did you order and where are you from
-
Not sure if this is the place for this question, but what kind of battery life is everyone getting for the new XPS 15 with a core i7?
-
You are right - here is a wrong place. You should go here probably: http://forum.notebookreview.com/dell-xps-studio-xps/533544-dell-xps-15-l501-owners-lounge-10.html
-
After getting the components, they act very quickly! within 1 day the status changed from manufacturing built complete to uplift!
is that 'uplift' means its on the cargo plane? -
-
the only difference is the screen, i didnt upgrade it!
my order date was: 28th of oct, same as you
edd: 24th
status change from wip to man built complete: 17th of nov
today: uplift
your status will be changed in any moments i guess
you will get an email before it changes! so dont forget to check it frequently, instead of checking the status!!! -
-
next monday: man built completed
tuesday: ship from factory
wednesday: dispatch to local carrier
friday: delivered
even, it could be earlier!!! i know how it feels, specially stuck in a 'wip' without any updates...
