    I ordered mine Saturday morning, and my estimated ship date is 7/26. He ordered his this morning and his estimated ship date is 7/19. We both ordered through the employee program, same discounts. Only differences is in color of notebook, I ordered a 926 Photo Printer (which shipped yesterday), wireless card adapter, and integrated SB Audigy. Wonder how that happened? :confused:

    Meh, who knows, dell is really good about getting stuff to you earlier than you expect, they just say that so you won't get on them because it hasn't been shipped

    i know that you can get your item "expedited" under certain cases. my friend's company has done a lot of business with dell (small business) and he claims he can get a laptop in 2 weeks....but then again he wouldn't have the same type of pricing discounts available like the EPP discounts

    I can't remember which thread had it, but i read somewhere that dell has recently cut back their estimated ship time. I believe it was very recently, but i am not sure because i only glanced at the posts.

    Sorry i couldn't get you a link to it, but my guess is that that is what happened.
