    I placed an order for an XPS M1330 early Monday morning just before the $300 off deal expired. Last night as I was about to shut my system down to go to bed, I got an email from PayPal that the funds had been successfully transfered. I checked the status page at Dell and it was showing that it had already shipped, with today as the delivery date. The last email I got from Dell was the confirmation email after I ordered it, showing an estimated ship date of December 27. I was having 2nd thoughts about getting such a beast of a notebook, and I was thinking I had time to make up my mind to decided whether to keep it or cancel it and get something else.

    I get up this morning, check the DHL tracking page, and it says it is "with delivery courier." I go to let the dog out, and there it is sitting on my front porch. :eek:

    Way to go DHL, leave a $1600 computer on my front door, in a big box with DELL written all over it, in the rain, and don't bother knocking or ringing the door bell to let me know it's here. :rolleyes: On the tracking page it shows this for the Shipment Information:

    Hey Dell, where's my computer, I didn't sign for it. ;)

    That happened with me too. My xps m1530 was sitting on my back porch in the snow. Luckily my dad found it. He never heard a knock and nobody signed for it.

    Was that also with DHL? That is lousy. Glad nothing happened to it.

    Yes, I pretty much hate DHL.
