    At saturday morning i placed a internetorder at dell.com and paid with creditcard. After this order i did not receive a order confirmation by email. Is this because it's weekend and Dell is closed, or is there some problem?

    Probably because it's the weekend. I bet first thing Monday morning, you get e-mail confirmation. ;)

    Your credit card will not be charged until it's ready to ship.

    If anything, they will just put a 3 day hold on your CC to be sure you have the funds availi', and then it will drop off :D

    Call first thing Monday morning, for e-mail/order confirmation..And, be sure to have them e-mail you the Case Number issued per your phone conversation!

    I know it's the weekend, and that makes it worse..not knowing... :(

    I think you messed up your email or entered the wrong email...Even if it is weekend, dell should send you an acknowledgement email, which states what you just ordered....doesnt matter if it is weekend. do you have any order number or reference number?

    Did you not get an acknowledgement or confirmation e-mail today? You should get those regardless as it will even go as far as authorize your payment 24/7.

    Double check your spam box/filter aswell.

    Things from @dell.com can sometimes be marked as spammed advertisements

    Well, you have that in case you need it..if you still don't receive anything this weekend.

    That way if you need to contact Dell..they can prob's check from that information. ;)
