    Did you get a compensation for the delay?

    My laptop was supposed to be here tomorrow, today I got a notice that it's been delayed till 30th(FFS!).

    I was wondering if I call them will they compensate for the delay or 2 more weeks of waiting?

    I would recommend doing the on-line chat. You can find this at the customer support section of the website. You are connected with an agent that can look up your order. I would call the 1-800-433-9014 number first to see what stage it gives you. This way you have something to work with when talking to a CS rep. For instance, when I called, I was told I was in "Production -- Boxing" stage. When I spoke to a rep on the chat, he told me I was in the first stages of production. I told him what the 800 # said and he then corrected his information.

    I did several chats...just to make sure all the information was consistent. I was given an overnight shipping upgrade and was also offered a $20 and $50 coupon good towards future dell purchases.

    Good Luck!

    I got upgraded to next day shipping and then I found out that it was already too close to being shipped for the next day shipping to go through so I was credited $50, but then it ended up shipping next day anyways...

    Hi, a little update,

    Called today, asked for a compensation for the delay but the woman told it'd be possible to compensate after I've received the system. :confused:

    Yes, they need to wait until it invoices...
