    My order is still in transit this early AM but should be in the local facility in a matter of an hour or two which means I am left wondering if it is possible that it will be delivered today on Saturday? Does Dell allow for Saturday deliveries with their FedEx Ground 3-5 day shipping? Thanks in advance! I searched but didn't find the answer so now if any of you know and reply the next person will have the right info with the search of "Does Dell Do Saturday Delivery?" :D

    I got excited, it's ON the truck for delivery now, but sadly when I scrolled down it said "Next business day" so now we know for certain, outlet does not do Saturday deliveries via FedEx Ground. Thanks all! I figured it was worth posting so the next person who came along wanting to know would be able to find the answer from the thread title. Have a good one! :D

    Fedex Ground does not deliver on Saturday so you will have to wait till monday. Fedex Home does deliver Tuesday - Saturday. I am not sure why dell says it's next day and they ship it ground.

    If it states it's on the "truck for delivery now" that usually means it is in transit to be delivered to you. I have had FedEx deliveries on Saturdays (from Amazon, shipped on Friday - 1 days shipped, received on Saturday).

    To be certain, Pamster, you should call FedEx for "delivery update" they can tell you where it is exactly, or track on their site (will still show "in transit/or on truck for delivery"), til delivered. : )

    Number 1-800-463-3339.

    Calling Fedex would be a waste of time trust me cause 2 weeks ago my laptop was out for delivery and didn't arrive until Monday. Amazon ships using a totally different Fedex Service called Home Delivery that operates Tuesday- Saturday

    Really?
    I have never had a problem with FedEx. When I have called FedEx for delivery inquiries, etc..they have always been helpful.
