    Mine shipped on Friday but I'm hoping the American portion was finished during the civic holiday today! lol

    Then again, it's been shipped to an address I won't be back to until Friday anyway. Why must they torment me? :(

    Can I ask....did you go directly from 'in production' to shipping info?

    And also...did your status change just now when you wrote???

    Still sitting in production, despite the fact that I ordered like 3 weeks before some of these people getting theirs... *sigh*

    Hopefully this week will bring some good news.

    This just means that Dell has just shipped your laptop to the US processing site. Once it is processed and shipped to toronto, your status should change with a new column "depot" stating which depot in Canada your laptop is being processed.

    Yes it is very amazing. I was checking on the morning of August 1st at 7:30 am and its status was still " in production" and then by the time 9:45 am came, it went right into shipped.

    Well it takes 2 business days for them to process it. So maybe your order will be shipped to canada today.

    hummm, i understand that it does not update till its in canada, but its the 7th now, and it usually ships faster then that. I guess the holiday and the weekend really messed things up.

    I ordered mine the same day as you but you must be in the east, I am in Sk. so I don't expect mine until the end of the week, things move slow in the prairies but at least it is earlier than the Sept. 7 the original ship date.

    Probably tomorrow if you're in Waterloo. You other Waterloo guys are all stealing my limelight. I'd better be the only one around campus with it. ;)

    The Dell rep that I have been dealing with emailed me today and said it would delivered this Friday or Monday.

    Thought I'd bug Purolator and they said next Tuesday.

    Can all who receive their systems PLEASE include the details and order date along with any earlier cancellations and reorders in their post?

    Many are trying to get answers from Dell as to why they havent received their system yet and this information is vital.

    To those who want to address Dell as to why a system with the same specs comes before yours, you can sent the website and blogname of the person as Dell monitors this site.

    Further...can you also post any special circumstances that led to you buying your system such as Dell Mystery Coupon Daze purchase, EPP, Education etc...

    There appears to be people ordering later and receiving their systems sooner when many of us are told of lead times for things that they have on their computer...which is wrong.

    I have received mine yesterday. Sorry, I am typing this reply on my IBM workstation though I said my next post would me on my machine. It took me a while to setup my notebook to my preference.

    I got the LED screen!!! but I don't have the media remote but should it be included?

    this is what I hope is my final post in this thread.

    The laptop was "attempted to be delivered" at my house today, i will go pick it up from the purolator depot on the way home from work.

    The total time from order to delivery is 37 Days. Not bad, but not great.
    The total time from reorder to delivery was 16 Days. Much more respectable.

    this leads me to believe that reorders are getting pushed ahead in the queue (sp?)

    BTW, the estimated arrival date according to dell both online and by phone still reads September 7th.

    I had the same problem with my initial order but eventually I received my notebook with the bluetooth installed (though I haven't tested it yet).

    I looked through the owner's manual and the bluetooth module is installed behind the speaker bezel so it is not that easy to install if it were a slot on the back of the notebook.

    I received my Dell M1330 Today

    It was ordered July 23rd, and estimated shipping date when it was ordered was set at September 3rd.

    Screen is LED, fingerprint reader, 2GB Ram... and I think they accidentally gave me a remote which I didn't order.

    Still waiting on the accessories though :p which were supposed to come before the laptop :p

    My order just showed up in Calgary at 2 PM today. So it was at the USA Ground Linehaul depot for 2 days. Now I'm crossing my fingers it will show up tomorrow. If not, not worried. Better than Sept 10th.

    Im gonna believe your system was on the Exec Expedite order as well.

    All 3 of mine went into Delivery Prep today.

    They will be shipped by tomorrow and you should have it by Weds.

    For me, not bad considering 2 of my orders had to be redone again and their order date is 8Aug. They qualify as the fastest completed orders now Im sure.
