For RECENT Dell laptop buyers....

How long did it take Dell to ship your laptop from the date of purchase?

My estimated shipping date is mid January... and I ordered about 5 days ago.

 

Came in about a week. Only special thing I ordered was the Midnight Blue lid.

If you have a bunch of things selected that say "May delay your ship date" that is the problem.

 

and you have to take into consideration that this is a holiday period!

 

I was speaking to a Dell sales person (UK) and he said the delay on alot of laptops was actually due to a shortage of their 8600m GT stocks.

 

Dell have had long lead times for months in the UK, I ordered my 1710 on 24 Sep and was given an initial delivery date of 9 Nov.

That got delayed and the new date was 24 Dec, it actually arrived on 3 Dec as I was constantly asking for goodwill gestures as compensation for my patience.

I didn't get any extras unfortunately.

 

Ordered my m1330 on the 19th (at 1am or something), delivery is scheduled for this friday due to christmas holidays of the delivery company getting in the way.

 

ordered the 1530 onthe 19th and will probably get it tommorrow

 

i've ordered d630 on 10th of detcember, still waiting..
i think it's gonna be delivered on 28th.

 

I ordered my XPS M1530 with a ton of options including the 1680x1050 lcd on 12/21/07 and have already received my shipping conformation email. Tracking says it should be delivered on the 26th or 27th! That's less then a week!

 

Order Date: 12/13/07
Production Date: 12/13/07
Ship Date: 12/16/07

My laptop will be here today some time Dec 24. Yay for me....I hope it comes before I leave for work, somebody else will be home but I want to play with it FIRST.

I ordered my m1530 on 11/29 and received it 12/12, if that constitutes as recent.

 

i order my m1330 on 11th of Dec got it on the 20th im based in nz

 

Ordered a 1521 on 11/29 and it got to me in about a week and a half. Ordered a second 1521 on 12/13, and it got to me on 12/18 (that one had an estimated ship date of around 1/4/08)

 

ROTFL. I wouldn't let anyone open it if it was mine.

Everyone's seem to have shipped fast... even the people that ordered on the 19th of December, b/c that's when I ordered mine!!! Still hasn't shipped yet.

 

Dell has always been fast with shipping to me. But that is just pure luck I think. By the sounds of it most people have to wait a few weeks to receive things.

 

Yep, mine still says In Production.

 

Man that sucks.

Whatcha pick up? What specs and whatcha payin?

 

1420

T7250 2.0GHz
anti-glare screen (I don't want reflections... lol)
1gig RAM
250GB HD
Intel Wifi
8400m GS
Bluetooth
8x dvd+-RW
Webcam
90 watt spare
remote

$1040 grand total (+$150 Gift Card)
I'm kinda thinkin I should have got the 160GB HD with the 2.2GHz CPU, but a big hard drive is really convenient. I have a 500GB desktop and it's so nice not to worry about HD space.

Edit: Oh yeah, and if ANYTHING is wrong with this thing, it's going straight back to Dell.

 

Sounds like a great deal to me. Good price for the specs and that gift card will be might nice

I wonder if I will get mine before you. I purchased mine through a reseller. He will be shipping after the 27th. Total with delivery is $1571 US

You seem to have gotten a good deal too. I want a 4 year warranty but I refuse to pay for it. ROTFL. You'll probably get it before me, I bet mine will ship next week if I get lucky. I'm just worried about all these problems that Dell laptops have been having lately (different problems for each model of course)... you worried at all about your M1330?

 

Ah yes Dell troubles. Well I am going to remain positive. In general people tend to only post here if they have a question about something or if they have a problem with the device. We don't get to hear about how many systems go out trouble free. In the end I will have the warranty to fall back on. Hopefully I won't need it. I suspect I will upgrade within a few years of owning it. I seem to have gone a year and a half with my 640M and now want something smaller, lighter, sleeker and sexier.

 

Well 24th is here and still nothing. Dell won't tell me if they have information on tracking number or the shipping service. Telling me it may take 13 to 21 days isn't really helping since without a tracking number I have no idea how to proceed.

 

I ordered my m1330 on the 19th. It had an estimated ship date of January 2nd but ended up being shipped on the 23rd and has an estimated delivery date of the 28th (even though I paid for 2nd day delivery ... must be the holidays). I still haven't received any tracking information, but I'm hoping it shows up on my doorstep before Friday.

 

Got online with dell chat and they said its coming through UPS. They said the laptop in customs. Seeing as how this is christmas time, half to 3/4 of customs officers very drunk, or very high.

 

Same here. Only took about 4 days to build. Says shipped on the 23rd, however due to the holidays it still hasn't arrived to the carrier yet for "Next Business Day" deliver. Looks like Thursday or Friday.

 

I ordered on the same day... but still in production. ROTFL.

 

What options did you guys choose? I went for the straight £749 offer specification, with black CCFL. Only cost £680 thanks to a great 10% coupon my dad found though
