    ahare;
    Your positive outlook is wonderful, I'd almost go as far as asking if you work for dell.. haha!

    I don't mean to be rude but your use of the English language is slightly lacking, where are you from and why living in Adelaide (one of the major 'holes' in AU IMO!)? Either an immigrant or student maybe?

    Overall in the big scheme of things I'm sure that the few who worry, complain and stress about the EDD's is a very small portion (of who all prob browse forums like me) - I think it's Dell's lack of honest and upfront communication which is most disspointing for most people, if dell contacted ppl via a mailmerge saying 'we've got parts shortages, there will be delays OR we can change your order to a config that doesnt have these parts...' all would be fine. But no, they continue to baffle, confuse and frustrate people - people write about it, which other prospective customers read! Hmmmm... I still like Dell :D

    But arright, I'll keep you posted on your guess! Wanna bet $5 on it?

    This is horrible - Dell India has cancelled my XPS 15 order without furnishing any reason.

    Anyone else had a similar experience?

    Had ordered on 11/11 and EDD was 19/11 .Then I was told that it's just a computer generated EDD not the actual one !!! the actual EDD is sometime in the 1st week of Dec, i.e. 3 weeks after placing the order.

    Just got a call from the Dell Sales representative and she explained that there was a problem with the factory's computer system, which cancelled ALL the orders. But there's nothing to get alarmed : the actual orders have not been cancelled , just that the factory needs to allocate fresh order numbers to each customers, once again. The laptops are in the process of getting manufactured.

    So, what does it tell us about Dell ? A hardware company with some horrible software ? Or, are they simply messy in managing orders and deliveries?

    Now, I need pray to some techno-god and cross my fingers that they deliver it on the first week of Dec.

    sorry Leica01, seems like Dell India had to put their production line on hold in order to accommodate U.S. orders first :cool:

    j/k you guys should actually have the best turn around time since their is a huge Dell factory in India. heck I'd probably build one online and ask if i could pick it up in person if i lived in India! :D

    When i ordered they said that they will deliver it in a week
    But now they showed it as CANCELLED after 2 weeks
    When I Inquired they said it was an Internal Problem and they will try to deliver it as soon as possible
    They said they will be telling me the exact delivery date by today
    I hope they hold the promise at their end

    [India]I had mailed the guy who helped me with the order and he mentioned some problem with the backend systems which resulted in all orders being cancelled and then reordered. I really hope it doesnt affect my EDD which is supposed to be on 23rd Nov. Waiting desperately

    No, they don't allow you to pick it up. It has to go through the courier route and you pay Rs 900 extra for that. A nice way to milch some extra dough.

    Sorry guys, you will be disappointed when Dell gets back to you.

    I got the new order number and EDD: 16/12 - which is more than 1 month from the date of placing the order, and this sucks man, big time. :mad:

    Wondering why I didn't go with HP Envy 14 (with a Radiance screen). :eek:

    These new computers are a lot more popular than most expected. Wow. :(

    Mine is taking forever as well, and I don't even have an EDD-- it just says N/A.

    I believe the TV Tuner for that card is listed as 318-0185 NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 445M 3GB graphics with TV Tuner, so yours appears to be the non-TV tuner version.

    sorry mate, was a bit busy with my research!

    you are absolutely right, eng isnt my primary language. literature is always harder to me than science! you may laugh, but the truth is i am not good in my own language (literature) as well! everyone can speak isnt that?

    yes again, was a student, currently working as a staff (research assistant) in the uni. not eligible for citizen yet.

    ha ha ha, not at all. i was as angry as you are until the status goes to the 'mbc' stage. i just wanted to inspire you to be patient!!!

    hmm, you can add the compliment 'the most lazy state' beside yours! however, it is one of the best state for living in the world. thats what i heard from somewhere. clean, quiet and naturally beautiful!!!

    nah, you think i am insane? through my 5 bucks away? no way mate :), if you say within 2 months, i will consider it!!! :D

    oh, the updates:
    17/11:manufacture build complete
    18/11:uplift
    19/11:customs clearance in progress
    --/11:may be next friday!

    ahare; Good response! Though I'd like to know what state you think I'm in ;) ?!! What is your first language if you don't mind me asking? Yea I spose 5 bucks as a uni student is what, about 1/4 of a goon bag?!!! Safe bet ;)

    Gloomy; Same goes for me too mate, atm the order stat page not even working... I'm 'in production' but no ne EDD :(

    Just ordered mine 3 days ago,

    Specs are in my sig, I orginally ordered a Studio 15, but they ran out of parts for it and stopped the production so they gave me an XPS 15 instead, what a deal.

    safe guess: planet earth [99.99% in terms of probability. In mathematics, nothing can be measured as 100%! 0.01%? well, you can be alien :)] wanna bet? ;)
    may be in sydney or melbourne or canberra or... [believe me, no guessing power at all!]
    why do i mind? its 'Bengali'. You may heard about the international mother language day. BTW, i am from Bangladesh. [if you love cricket, you may heard about our country too]

    anyway, we almost have identical configuration except screen. dont know whats happening to your order! hopefully you will get it very soon...

    mine just dispatched to the local carrier. it will take at least 1 day to arrive here in adelaide.

    ahare; can't say I'm a cricket fan... I'd rather watch the grass grow (same thing as watching cricket though I know, at least insects are interesting!)

    Well I hope I get my machine one day.. today my order has gone from an EDD or 17/12 back to 'Order Received'.

    pfff

    well said. i love the result though :) [or last 2/3 overs!]
    i think the steps are going to speed up very soon. about the status, may be the problem comes from their servers or the way they updates! yesterday at the evening their server was down. just after a while i found my status was changed from 'custom clearance in progress' to 'arrive in australia main hub'. 2 hrs later it was back again to the 'custom....'.

    'wip' is the most annoying stage. when its done, everything goes very fast. i think you know...

    have a lovely time.

    I wish I knew why some ship in like four days then other people are waiting for months. Have any 17s shipped lately? I wish mine would ship by tomorrow so I can get it by Wednesday. I guess I wouldn't mind waiting an extra day if it ships Wednesday, but I really hope I don't have to wait through another weekend.

    USA - Ordered Nov 12, 2010 - EDD Dec 8, 2010 - Website In Production - Phone Being Processed :(

    Looks like mine should be here tomorrow or Wednesday. Got a call this morning from order support saying they were packing it up. About time. Glad they upgraded my shipping :) Maybe I can mess with it over the holiday now.

    Ordered 10/27, so going on a month ago now.
    Specs:
    720p screen (Hoping it is decent but from what I hear it might have been worth upgrading. However, I got a decent financing deal that I wouldn't get if I cancelled and reordered. Money>pixels, imo)
    i5-560
    9 cell battery
    Backlit Keyboard
    6GB Ram
    BluRay Drive
    640GB HD
    GT 420M
    6200 Wireless Card

    That pretty much sums it up, I believe. :)

    How long does it take in Delivery Preparation? My new XPS 17 has been sitting there since the evening of 11/19. I figure it would have shipped today, but no such luck.

    My order status has been in "delivery preparation" since the 19th also, but when i call the 800 number to check on it the message says it was (not will be) delivered on 12/1. Being that this is only Nov. 22 that seems a little strange.

    This is so depressing it's not even funny. Btw first post.

    Order date: Oct 29th (1AM)
    Status: In Production (lol?)
    EDD: Nov 24th
    Today's date: Nov 22nd

    XPS 15
    Intel® Core™ i5-460M (2.53GHz, 4 threads, turbo boost up to 2.8Ghz, 3M cache)
    4GB Shared Dual Channel DDR3 Memory
    Backlit Keyboard - English
    NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 420M 1GB graphics with Optimus
    500GB 7200 RPM SATA Hard Drive
    Dell Design Studio (720p w/ FR)
    Genuine Windows® 7 Home Premium, 64bit, English
    Integrated 10/100 Network Card
    8X Tray Load CD/DVD Burner (Dual Layer DVD+/-R Drive)
    Intel® Centrino® Wireless-N 1000
    McAfee Security Center with VirusScan, Firewall, Spyware Removal, 15-Months
    56 WHr 6-cell Lithium Ion Primary Battery
    1 Year Limited Warranty w/1 Year Return To Depot Service

    Have not received any notifications or updates by Dell regards to my order.
    Obviously it's going to be delayed since it's been 'In Production' for over 3 weeks and there's 2 days left til EDD, unless Dell is able to ship this within 24 hours.
    This will probably be my first and last Dell product I will ever buy - worst customer service ever, for Canada.

    Oh and Canadian buyer here. If any other Canadians experiencing this problem then I feel sorry for you.
