Another delay on the 15. this time 2 weeks..

Grats, I'm sure you will get used to it.

Were you put into the boxing stage at all or did it go directly from "in production - build stage" to "shipped"?



Fault, you too, were you put into the boxing stage before it shipped?

My rev. est. shipping date is tomorrow but I am still in the build stage, I'm having doubts.

 

Mine was in the boxing stage all last week.

 

I was in the boxing stage 4 like 3 days

 

I'm still in pre-production! Since the 5th. I have been told it's because of jet black colour, which I know is an extra 4 days.

 

Really? When I ordered my studio 17, Jet Black didn't indicate any sort of delay...but again, I ordered an S17, not an S15. That's odd. I hope mine isn't delayed

 

Yeah I believe the Studio15 are the most popular of the lot, so they're experiencing quite a delay.

 

Black is delayed? Last time I checked Red and Purple were the colors on back order among other things. They must have added black to the list as well recently. Mine is still in pre-production, but the status hasn't changed at all since I sent in my order. I'm not expecting any movement until next week when its supposed to ship.

 

I ordered two Studio 15s on the morning of 7/21 - first, for me, a Plum Purple one with a few upgrades (T8300, LED display, Wireless-N) and, a few minutes later, a Spring Green one (a birthday present for my mother) with no upgrades except for the Wireless-N mini-card. Initial estimated delivery date for both was 8/4.

On 8/4, I received notice that delivery for both would be delayed - new estimated delivery was 8/11. Last night, I received an email notifying me (complete with a link to the tracking #) that the purple one had shipped. Today, I received an email notifying me that the green one would be delayed again, with estimated delivery of 8/18. I sure hope it arrives by my mother's birthday (8/26). I hate the delay, but I got great prices on both and am in no specific hurry (other than wanting to have something to gift wrap), so I'll wait rather than cancel hers. Mine is supposed to arrive on Weds., so I'm psyched (the Studio is replacing my refurbished Dimension 4500 desktop that I bought from Dell online almost six years ago).

I suppose the delay is most likely related to the T5850 processor, or perhaps the green color. At any rate, the news isn't all bad (much to my surprise).

 

Lol, I'm right there with ya buddy. Got my dimension 4600 desktop 5 yrs ago.....been usin it ever since, i think i deserved an upgrade for waiting so long lol............1 more day till i get my studio...

 

Mine was just delivered! I'm still at work so I won't see it for a few hours yet, but they do eventually come. Much faster shipping than expected, too. It shipped yesterday (I didn't know DHL worked on Sundays), and arrived today - three days before the final revised shipping date.

 

Recieved mine last week after 2 delayed orders. Like it so far haven't had to much time to mess around with it.

 

seems like it takes Dell around 1 month give or take a few days to get the Studio 15 to its customers. I hope that they can shorten the waiting period for future buyers. Dont let it discourage you though, as I've been reading, almost everyone is satisfied with their Studios. ^^

 

hello from India.these forums are great help me decide a lot of things.i've ordered for the 15 and the delivery date is exactly one month from the date of order.Here the XPS's get delivered in less than 10 days.i did manage to speak to to a dell official, and he told me that the reason for most of the delay( well,atleast in India) is because of the lack of parts.They were expecting only about 8000 orders per month, but currently this month they have 32500 odd orders.

Thanks to ALL at NBR.Cheers

 

Welcome to the forums ashwin. Wow, that's quite a lot of orders. Well I'm assuming the reason the delay for the Studios are longer than the XPS's is because the Studios are relatively newer. ^^ I'm sure that within a few months the wait period for future Studio owners will be shorter. ^^ At least hopefully.

 

Thats wat looot of people are hoping for here
