    Wow! I thought all the Kiosks were shut down.. :eek:

    They had you place your order via Dell website right?
    I guess first I should ask..did they beat the sites pricing?

    Dells order are always over-estimated. There is a good chance you will get it before the ESD. If I were you, I would call Dell directly and confirm the ESD or, wait til Monday and see if it changes.

    What did you order, BTW??? Last Jan. I originally ordered my 1530 thru the Kiosk..but some things *happened* and I ended up ordering thru my EPP directly to get the factua/actual discount I was promised.


    Cin ;) :)

    yeah since my parents wouldnt let me use their credit card i had to go to a kiosk and pay via bank deposit. Nah they didnt give me any further discount.

    Yeah hopefully the ESD is shortened :D

    Ohh. Ok..I understand. ;)

    I truly hope it all works out for you. At the Kiosk though..they have incentives for sales. And, they should have given you some sort of discount!

    What did you order?

    Cin ;) :)

    That's what I thought to...but apparently theres a few left in some states?? :confused: I thought last year there was a massive shutdown.and they were all *gone daddy gone*...

    I asked a few times what system was ordered...so if originating poster replies back with it, that would be nice!
