    My xps m1530 is in the BOXING stage, how soon should I expect it to be shipped?

    I ordered my xps m1530 on the 30th, I called dell's automated service and heard in disbelief it's already in the boxing stage. How long after this stage will it be shipped?

    Last time I ordered a computer it was in boxing 5 days before being shipped.
    But I think it varies.

    hmm so the automated voice deceives me? Or do they just keep it boxed up in a corner and decide to ship it on a whim?

    I see, I live in K.C. so perhaps I'm at an advantage? Nevertheless I cancelled and reorded on the 30th with a new EDD of june 19th, but if boxing takes 5 days
    I'm not disappointed should be well before EDD!
