Dell Vostro 1500:

Order Date: 2/22/2008
Shipping Method: 3-5 Business Days
Est. Ship Date: 2/29/2008
Est. Delivery Date: 3/5/2008-3/7/2008

I emailed Dell asking how I can receive it before March 03. They said it's very plausible to receive it before that date and gave me a "next day delivery" at no extra charge.

I hope I get it before I leave US on March 03, otherwise i have to pay customs taxes if my brother sends it via USPS. (

Shipped yesterday, 02.28.2008. Let's see if they deliver next day as they promised they will.

 

YEs, they did it. Arrived 02.29.2008 at 5.10 PM.

 

Placed an UK order of a Vostro 1700 on 18th Feb 2008, same specs as yours, estimated delivery WAS 6th March 2008 until this morning, it changed to 8th April 2008! It'd never occur to me that it'd take Dell one and a half month to build one laptop! Very disappointing.

 

Actually it's not even a month so far.

Really hacked off with Dell at the moment. Emailed customer care to ask what was taking so long and why they don't list delays on the Vostro line when they do list it for other models. Their response was a generic, "your delivery date is 7th of April, here's a link to check the order status blah blah"

Emailing back now. Will give more grief on telephone if they don't get a move on. They are suggesting that it is acceptable to state that orders will "usually take up to 10 (working) days" with "91% of all orders are delivered within 6 days". (From http://www1.euro.dell.com/content/t...ell_popup?c=uk&cs=ukbsdt1&l=en&s=bsd#delivery) and then ship it 38 days after a system is ordered and 38 days after they have been paid for it.

If it's specific parts holding up an order, my suggestion to Dell would be: contact delayed customers and offer them higher specification parts in order to save your already damaged reputation. Then again, they seem to care more about profits than providing a decent service.

Grumble.

It got delivered to WW's local hub on Saturday morning, and was delivered to me today (Monday) at lunchtime. I didn't notice who the actual courier was (I take it the 'BPO' on the web page stands for 'Business Process Outsourcing'), but I'm glad that between me and the wife there was always someone at home today to sign for it, and I avoided any problems with failed devliveries etc
