    I am getting a littled worried on my order due to the different dates it says for my order status.

    I ordered on the June 11th, and it has been in the boxing stage for 3 days ago. I realize this is probably normal, but what worries me is that for my order status in some spots it says it will ship by the 19th of june, in other places it says it will ship by July 6th.

    I am leaving for a 2 1/2 week trip on July 6th, of which I finally bought a laptop for this reason since I will need it while away. So should I expect it to be here on before then, or is this something I should call Dell about? Since it has allready been made and tested, I don't see why the boxing stage should take so long to complete though ? :confused:

    Thanks

    I don't know what you ordered, but mine was in boxing about three days. I ordered mine last Thursday got all of the way to boxing on Thursday and left boxing Sunday Morning when I checked. I received it on Tuesday of this week.

    Boxing means its being shipped from Malaysia, by the way.

    It normally takes 3 days for boxing. This when your laptop is being shipped from Mayalasa to Tennesse. Also, Dell normally over estimates your shipment date.
