    When you're expecting a package, how many times do you check it daily?

    I'll admit - I do it 5 times/per day, everyday, until the package arrives >.<

    Way too often and the anticipation is really affecting my productivity. I think I might add dell.com to my blocked websites until the computer arrives.

    Ugh... My laptop seems to be stuck in Portland. Maybe I should drive down there and get it. It is only a 3 hour drive.

    Apr 29, 2010 3:58 AM Arrived at FedEx location PORTLAND, OR

    I'm in NYC and the last location before coming in to New York was in New Jersey, which is about an hour drive from here. It arrived in NJ around 3am on 4/26 and my scheduled delivery was on 4/27. They could've delivered on 4/26 with no problem, but they just let my laptop sit there for 24 hrs and delivered on 4/27 as scheduled.

    When I first ordered my Dell I used to check at least 5 times a day, even more when it got close to the estimated delivery date.

    I used to do this back when I was a laptop luster, but I've matured. Now I don't really care, it comes when it comes.
