E1705 has SHIPPED!

I just checked my order status and my Inspiron E1705 has finally shipped! It is currently "In Transit". The estimated delivery date is tomorrow! I am so excited! I can't wait. I just thought I'd share this good news with everyone!!!

 

I share your excitement! Mine has just shipped as well - same model - should be here by the end of the week. Awesome!

 

Good to hear abN! Mine should be here tomorrow or Wednesday. I hope your's is being shipped with UPS and not Purolator. Purolator's tracking is terrible!

 

i should get mine today...its driving me crazy waiting on it!!!! geez...i mean, how long does it take UPS to ship to my house? the location it was shipped to is right down the street from my house, and its been out of there since 7 this morning. btw- im waiting on an e1505

 

why didnt you just call ups and pick it up yourself?

 

depends on the route, and what time UPS normally goes by your house each day

 

man..that sucks. i just want them to be here. ive been waiting too long. haha. i just hope its here before i have to leave for work this afternoon

 

What time does the UPS truck go by usually?

If it happens to come when your at work, then they will leave a note on the door saying they were there. Then you can go pick it up before 7 (local time) right at the distribution center down the street

 

well, i dont know what time they come by. but ill have someone here if it does come by when im at work, i just want to play with it before i go off to work. haha

 

I just ordered a e1705 and it will be here tomorrow also... I ordered it on June the 7th, so I am really happy to be getting it so quickly.

 

My E1705 shipped today, and according to the Dell website, the estimated delivery date is June 13, 2006 (tomorrow). However, when I click on my tracking number, it takes me to the Fedex tracking page, and on there, it says the delivery estimate is June 15, 2006. In the details part of that page, it says "Future delivery requested". The thing is, Dell has given me free next day shipping, so I should be recieving it tomorrow. I don't understand why Fedex has a different delivery date than Dell. The package was picked up at Nashville, TN at 2:23 AM this morning and that is the only status that is listed on the page. Is there any chance that I will recieve the package tomorrow? I live in NJ. I would really like to recieve it tomorrow. And the thing is, I need to know if I should take off from work tomorrow or the 15th. I already spoke to Dell and they said that they can not guarantee any day, but they will send a special request to Fedex to deliver the package ASAP. What do you guys think. Has something like this every happened to you?

 

I'm going to say that there is only a slight chance that it will be delivered tomorrow - depending on where you live.

If it says that it has only been picked up in Nashville, and you don't live anywhere near Nashville, I don't see how it could be there tomorrow.

I don't know why a future delivery request was put on your package. Maybe Dell was running behind, and didn't get your package off of the trucks in time to get it delivered tomorrow.

Just be patient. It will be delievered sometime this week. If you want to have a customize laptop that fits your needs, you have to play the waiting game. We all did.

Please don't create new threads for the same issue.

 

What does "Future Delivery Requested" mean?

 

usually that means that Dell has requested that your laptop be delievered on a future date. Most companies just send stuff through UPS/FedEx and they carriers deliver the package when they receive it.

Dell has contracts with all 3 major shipping companies, and there are certain conditions - like you can't change the address through your shipping company. If you want your laptop to be delivered to a different address, you have to call dell and dell has to request it.

My guess is that dell told FedEx to change the date because as i stated, there is only a slight chance that it will be delivered tomorrow. It could happen, but that just depends on your location and what type of shipping your package actually does have - not the type of shipping that dell says that you have.

I called Dell and my shipping got upgraded to overnight (supposedly), and it took 3 days to get from dell to my house - but i live out in the sticks.

 

i see, thanks for the help.

 

Well here is me Today acording to the tracking of Dell site my e1705 supost to be out for delivery today !yey!
Here is my concern I ask about this in a early post, ups is delivering today but dell have not taken the money out of my debit checking account so does has anybody have this happen, I thought Dell takes the money when the item gets shipped?
And I never had a tracking # e-mail to me either or Dell dont always e-mail it?
So will see if ups actually brings something or a empty box, and I even call in sick to work
Just kidding is my Day off but I think I would have call in, maybe!

 

Yea same here, my order is on the Fedex truck, out for delivery. I also did not receive the the shipping/tracking # email.

 

Did Dell take the money out of your account?

 

I know you will love your e1705! Congrats on the purchase!

 

I would just wait a couple days on the payment issue. Dell is kind of iffy on whether an email on the shipping.
