Experienced Opinions wanted on Ship Date?

I've ordered a D830 - ship date listed as June 18th --


Does anyone have any inside info, experience, educated guess, or historical estimate if this is close, or are they going to "overdeliver" ---

I was hoping it might be a week sooner...

Thoughts?

 

I was also wondering this. I ordered a lappy on the 31st, shipping date is set for the 7th..but I read online if they already had it built, they'd send it early. I had standard specs. So we'll see, I guess. Any views?

[sorry if you think this is hijacking]

 

from all of my purchases from Dell (there has been many!) I've found their estimated ship dates to be further down the road than actual. I'm sure they do this to give the customer a worst case scenario.

I purchased a D630 on the 28th, and it shipped out on the 30th. That was 2 days, and I should have it in my front door on monday or tuesday.

 

well ive had the complete opposite lol...

i ordered my 6400, it was due on the 22nd of May, it came on the 9th of May.

i was very surprised to find this huge box sat at home

 

I think you misread what I wrote. What I said what pretty unclear and confusing though so I don't blame you

I'm saying Dell usually ships out sooner than what their estimate says.

I ordered my Latitude D630 on May 28th. The estimated ship date was June 18th yet my computer shipped out on May 30th which was just two days after I ordered it.

 

My estimate was May 31, it was delivered on May 7

 

@Sirius_GTO: Sorry. Now that i read it again, i can see what you meant.

 

you are the lucky one Sirius, took Dell 12 days to ship out my D630...

 

I have ordered several hundred laptops, desktops, and servers from dell over the years. Never once has it shipped on or after their estimated date. It is always before...

My most recent purchase was a D820 ordered on a Monday was there by Friday.
