Post when XPS M1330 ordered and when/if shipped

Ohh that was cruel!

 

why couldn't they say that YESTERDAY?!

 

Ahahaha.. well, it is an update I guess.

EDIT: Wow, I'm surprised they let this comment through.

 

He's probably had to locate a safe hideaway from the all the people that ordered the M1330...

 

If only what happened in:



to Jim Carrey could happen to Lionel

 

Lol. That was me, actually.

 

Lionel probably doesn't have any good news yet I just got off the phone with Dell. I was told the fingerprint reader was on backorder. (A common excuse I know). I did get my shipping upgraded to next business day and the free messenger bag Then, I was connected to a "floor manager" where I was asked to give feedback on the customer service rep. Never had that happen before. Finally great service for once. Looks like I won't be canceling after all. Thanks Dell!

 

I guess they define tomorrow the same way they assign ESD's?

Seriously I'm hoping by the middle of August most of us will have machines.

 

wtf i spoke to them earlier (page 111 of this thread) and i didn't get the messenger bag! i was upgraded to overnight nearly 4 weeks ago though.
I was also lucky and got a rep here in the US

 

LMAO that is hilarious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

If you look on Dell home, a messenger bag is free with M1330 purchase now. I was furious, especially since I need one of those

 

Lol, saw this on the Dell blog as one of the comments...

Apple2PC said:
Two more hours and Dell loses me as a customer!

Didn't you go and just buy a different dell?

 

Insane. My shipping got DOWNGRADED.

I paid for overnight shipping originally. In Dell's delay email to me they say
"We have also requested an expedite on the new order and have given you free 2nd business day shipping."

I checked the order. Shipping switched from overnight to 2nd day. No price reduction.

Must be my punishment for calling Lionel an asshat.

 

At least it was worth it!

 

Absolutely.

 

He probably spent the day at the movies watching the SIMPSONS. I think all DELL Csrs were doing the same - especially the mechanical lady on the automated line.

 

anybody receive a M1330???

 

Geez get with the program that was 100 pages back.

 

Wasn't that on page 1 and 5000 + messages ago??

 

Everyone please... join in the Dell Chorus...

Ah one and ah two...

The sun'll come out
Tomorrow
Bet your bottom dollar
That tomorrow
There'll be sun

Just thinkin' about
Tomorrow
Clears away the cobwebs,
And the sorrow
'Til there's none

When I'm stuck with a day
That's gray,
And lonely,
I just stick out my chin
And grin,
And say,
Oh WTF where is my XPS m1330?

 

ROFL. Man, that actually (sad as it may be) brings back some old memories from elementary school when I sang that song in choir - minus the last line.

And Mieske, you're my hero.

I've compiled some of the happenings into another blog post if anyone's interested.

your close but you don't win the prize

 

my comment to lionel didn't even appear. I think you shut the whole system down with that last one!

 

I think he reviews them before posting. Last time the number went from 55 to over 100 in one shot.

 

Dell has begun shipping -- or sort of...

http://break.com/index/down_hill_in_a_dell.html

 

Ah, well if he reviews them first, it definitely won't appear EVER.

 

I should get my m1330 around 8/8

 

I think I saw an m1330 in that box

 

Had to laugh...Ive been gone most of the day and everyones chewing out HCW because of his story telling.

Then whats he do??? Tries to make some believe he proved me wrong without ever listing an example of course.

Trust me HCW... your reputation is set here by you and you only. Your flat out untruths have caught up with you....

Now let me explain some info to you JUST IN!!! Its called the order process and I had to make sure before I came here but you are more than welcome to call any Sales Rep. They will tell you the same!!!

You call in. It could be EPP, student, regular purchase, online, or whatever. You make a purchase. Your purchase is complete and your financing approved. You then get a number, you know order number, like 9 digits (or maybe 8 stateside) but in any case... Guess what????

Your order is now set in its place in the build system with respect to how it was purchased. It doesnt matter if you got a Drake deal or anything. You are given your place in the order.

What you paid and what program means absolutely nothing. They are all herded into the pack.

Now... long before these orders were made by you shipping arrangements from Dell were already set. They go all the way to Malaysia and to Texas and so on. The shipping arrangements are set even before you make a purchase. The trick is to be lucky enough to order at the right time. So...if you can imagine, the production line, although all the orders (EPP,student) are mixed, now takes the form of destination where priority is accounted for.

The end. So...go call your corporate guy and brief him.

And laughable...is watching EVERYONE in the past few hours shoot back and watch you sputter what little you could.

Honourable is that Im mentioned and some stand up for me even when Im not here.

Thank you.

Oh wait one more thing... NO noone wants to join chat!!! I saw you selling it when blahhh was on by using him as a selling point. He then called you a liar of course because he couldnt get there without overheating his system

 

Looks like soomebody got them, LED too!! how the H@ll did this guy get so many and we all cant even get 1. check past listings, 35 for sale.

That's the Dell guy when we realize he still has not posted a real update!

 

We already called BS on this a long time ago. One guy said he ordered it and we never heard back.

 

Was wondering about this guy myself... he has HUGE FB but if you look at it it's for stuff less than $20 a Direct TV coupon.

He has sold some Laptops but I would rather buy from Dell.

Did the ad say he had the machine in stock? I didn't see that but could have missed it.

Good lukc all... C'mon Lionel give us the good news.

 

that ebay account has been hijacked

 

He says 5 days like the Dell reps do when you order.

 

18 to 23 to 27 now 30th...of july..

I know its mean to say this.. but
I hope a bunch of people at dell responsible for this freaking delay.. gets fired!

 

Yea, I've been reporting accounts like that...they take your money and run, since the owner no longer owns it. And what can ebay do outside the US?

 

Hey, at least it wasn't bumped to 30 AUG

 

maybe someone got so mad they actually killed lionel. lol imagine

 

What can you do? Someone in Dell screwed up the delivery date...badly. And now CS and PA are left with having to try to clean up the mess. I can't imagine how much crap they're getting over this.

 

I had to take advantage of the AMEX deal

Just ordered a 1330 XPS for $1502

better processor, free bag, finger print and fat warranty the only thing that sucked was I couldn't get the 4 cell and 9 cell together .

whats your ship date? since they don't reveal that anymore I presume after you pay they do?

 

What's your estimated ship date?

 

Est. Ship Date: 9/6/2007

 

for that price id wait another two months nah jk but sweet deal though.

 

I have a funny feeling that the one I just ordered will ship before my order on June28th. I went back and posted the complete specs of what I ordered

 

Im crossing my fingers for my 8/8 arrival date

Its still in build mode.. so im skeptical.. its been there since 7/13

 

me too me too was thinking of doing something like that and see which one ships first then cancel the other but i dont think i will.

 

mine been there since 7/16 and my est. ship date is 8/1 so im very scared but then again a lot of people are getting theirs pushed back to 8/3 which makes it seem like they are expecting maybe parts or something this upcoming week to continue building and shipping out more so I might still get it around that day im hoping.

 

well supposeably if your in build mode

then they have all the parts for your laptop
