    Well I finally made it boxing stage, I still dont know why it took so long nor how it changed so quickly but anyways whatever works...

    Anyways how long does it usually take for boxing stage to move to shipping - shipped with tracking info?

    If anyone could shed light on their experiences with Dell in this matter it would be cool!

    Did you call the order status line or the Customer Service Line? Thanks for the quick reply btw.

    Oh and Matt how is yours looking just wondering if you come across this thread.

    Boxing stage means it is boxed, accessories and manuals all placed in the box. Then the boxes are palletized, shrinkwrapped and loaded onto a truck. Then it waits for a plane to deliver it to the states where DHL takes over :) Soon and very soon.

    There's no order status line.... you gotta call the half-breed customer service line in Canada :)

    Yea, but considering how quickly our laptops were expedited, quality may have been compromised.

    My order status paged says shipped, but the status hotline says that it's in the hands of the carrier and will ship within the next buisness day...

    What's yours say?
