    Yes, but I don't think Dell pays for the package to be delivered on weekends.

    Yes, DHL delivers on Saturdays. But that's not the question you should be asking, are Dell's packages delivered on Saturdays? No.

    Saturday deliveries are charged at a premium, as with every major carrier - including DHL. Dell does no exercise this option...

    I'm putting the MythBusters approach to this. I was told by Dell just 2 minutes ago that DHL does not offer saturday delivery. I informed them that there is an "Express Saturday" option and that I would pay the difference for shipping. I told them the difference in pricing at the rate a consumer receives and would pay that amount. I was told they would be contacting DHL and seeing about changing my shipping options.

    As a little background, Dell upped my shipping option from 3-5 day to next-day due to a delay in production.

    I'm recording the conversations so I'll let you know how it turns out and post it if I can.

    DHL had told me that 'Express Saturday Delivery' would cost $15 extra.

    See, they told me only Dell could adjust the shipping method due to it being billed to their account.
