Help! suffering from status addiction

Is there any point to check the status over the weekend? Do they update during the weekends?

 

Nope. Only on business days.

 

what's the phone number again to check the exact status of your order?

 

Here you go.
1-800-433-9014

 

But I've been checking it all weekend not knowing they didn't update it on week ends... stupid me

 

Man, I even added their phone number to speed dial and memorized the number for my order.

 

Uh... they DO update on weekends. Mine did earlier today. =\

 

Which is better, pre-production or in-production?

 

If English is not your first language, then I can understand. Otherwise, LOL. In-production is better.

 

Junkies waiting for a fix.



Somebody needs to start a support group.

 

They don't work on the weekends though.

 

i hate it that one page says its in pre-production, and other page says its in-production. it gives me false hope . nothings better than getting all exited then going to the other page and seeing "pre-production"

 

Actually mine shipped and was invoiced and sent to FEDEX last night or this morning and I will receive mine on Monday

 

I will not hope for a status update until tomorrow, I'm slowly losing my laptop fervor... in a good way, I still want it, but I'm not contemplating freezing myself on top of a mountain for it anymore

 

At least until any progress is made at all.

 

Yea, i've been building since the 9th... how long can it take to throw a computer together though?!

 

It's Dell we're talking about here They're not exactly smart cavemen :/

 

Pre-production is a step of "In production" ...

 

Do you live in the United States? Because that's pretty impossible as FedEx, UPS and DHL don't work on weekends either, heh .

 

I have heard that DHL moves things, and has a option for Saturday delivery.

 

Right, but none of them work on Sunday, part of the law.

 

Yea but his post said last night OR this morning... so it was done last night on saturday.

 

I only checked 45 times yesterday

 

Fedex ships on saturdays.

 

I am trying to ween (sp?) off the addiction. I only checked it ONCE yesterday and ONCE so far today. Of course, tomorrow is a different story.

 

I know for a fact they don't do Saturday deliveries though.

Except for an extra $25.

 

Yeap, tomorrow i'll be calling the hotline and updating the site all day and then maybe calling a dell rep once or twice to piss and moan about nothing...

 

My status hasnt changed on DHL's site site Friday, im starting to worry as its coming tomorrow, i thought it might come today, but i certaintly dont want it to come any later

 

LOL...

I just thought of something... if our notebooks are assembled in Malaysia, then wouldn't our order statuses be updated while we are sleeping?

 

It's killing me. My Inspiron 1721 is suffering from all the Inspiron 1720's lol. Not many people got a 21, so that is my assumption anyway.

When I ordered the laptop on the 7th, it said it would have a 3-4 day delay to get the glossy screen. It has been FIVE days since "in production" started..5 business days and 3 non working days.

I know what that dell automated lady says by heart now. It was funny because my wife called to check for me while I was at work..and the lady goes "Alright, I have some important information for you to write down" and it turned out to be the same "your laptop is currently in production, and is in the ..pause.. BUILD stage. Than I slam the phone down in anger and start screaming obscenities for no reason.

 

It's probably a 24hr facility, like all corporate warehouses. The selectcomfort factory in town here runs 24/7.

 

Hmmm so i should become nocturnal when I go on a status checking spree?

 

I didn't know 24 hour facilities existed like that.

If it's in the United States, I would think they would have to comply with the Sunday law.

 

what exactly is "The sunday law"

EDIT: I live in Ohio and I'm not even sure exactly what the law says...

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunday_law

Also called Blue Law.

 

I ordered my 1720 on the 4th, still in the build stage-it better going into boxing soon or I'm going to call and ***** some more. It said delivery date 23-25th, but if it takes three days in the boxing stage, and if DHL delivers as slow as everyone says, it's gonna get here late.

 

Oh... gotcha, wasn't sure what exactly what it did... Shows how much I know...

 

And my status addiction anonymous meetings seem to be over... All of the support left in the support group...

 

LOL... i'll be joining you again in a few hours *sigh*.

 

Yay! Let the addictions grow! I mean... good work brother... or somethign like that... I'm really waiting until tomorrow when I open a can of whoop ass on dell for no reason!

 

.... uhhhhhhh .... ok.

 

I think I'm just lonely...

 

... or a little coo-coo in the head ;-p

 

Customer Service said my Vostro's should move from "Pre-Production" to "Building" on Monday or Tuesday! Yay!

 

Grats Methodis, I'm supposedly having my order expedited, but the process takes days.... interesting on how it takes so long to cut off two to three days eh?

 

The weekend makes it even more difficult .

 

I know they don't update orders or ship, but do they build on weekends?

 

ordered my 1520 on the 4th of july. i asked about stacking rebates and the guy i talked to said he couldnt do that. so he told me he would tell his manager to expedite the laptop. estimated shipping date was august 2. turns out mine shipped on july 13 with 3-5 day shipping. specs are:

intel core 2 duo 7300 2.0ghz
1gb ram
geforce 8600gt
160gb 5400rpm hdd

quite sad really, i bought an external hdd, a mouse, and 4gb of ram and i dont even have my laptop yet. im planning on calling tomorrow to try and get that multimedia remote.

 

Hmm well mine was building for a week and now it got expedited so mine should ship tomorrow or Tuesday then ya think/?

 

yeah. it being expedited should cut down the building by half at least. hopefully it was almost done being built anyways. but yeah, shipping should happen before wednesday at the latest.
