LOL, good one.
Does anyone believe that if an order was made on, say, July 16th, that the estimated ship date is way out in September?

Most likely b/c i order on the 6th of july and my ESD is aug 27
although mine went in production now -
Maybe this is all just a conspiracy by Dell to generate more buzz for the m1330... I'm betting that the orders that are estimated to ship by the end of August or early September really will be shipped out by late July or early August.
Wishful thinking, I know. But a guy can dream, eh? -
I ordered it just yesterday though... could this information just be misleading considering that people who have ordered earlier are still in the pre-production stage? Or could it possibly be because I avoided the free webcam and 9-cell battery (wishful thinking)?
Anyways, my ETA isn't until September 6 so I guess they're just fooling with me. -
We heard about one person going into boxing. I guess we will wait and see how many people go into boxing tomorrow. -
My systems went into 'In Production" yesterday on "My Orders" then I checked this morning and they went into "In Production" in the status page, the delivery date of one of them changing to this Friday...wouldnt that be nice???
-
I paid an arm and a leg for mine (even w/ the 12% EPP discount)
-
Money well spent though
-
New signature - still in build stage...
Ordered via EPP and ships to NY -
The Dell God must hate me because I am still in pre-production.
Ordered 6/29 US
w/ crimson red, T5250, 2 gigs, 8400, 120 gig and a 9 cell -
Did you ask the Dell G-d why?
-
. If you call the automated order status number it might at least tell you your not in pre-production. The number is: (800) 433-9014.
Hoping for some good news... -
glad to know someone is in the boxing stage
-
This thread should be a sticky thread. Its got 1000+ posts on it, and is growing like wildfire.
-
this thread is gonna die in the coming weeks, so no point stickying it

... those poor souls ... I can't believe they have an ESD of SEPTEMBER!!!
-
i ordered my m1330 yesterday and my ship date is 8/7 lol
-
-
yup i did lol i ordered through epp
-

I think Dell might be delaying all those Drake orders deliberately to make them a worse deal.... A month from now the Sony SZ will be out, a lot more difficult to get buyers.. why not hold back on the Drake orders until then... Cheaper processors from Intel, a month and a half of computer age.. that's a long time.. an awesome deal now is a decent deal in a month and a half...

Indeed... might mean that I'll get my laptop ... this MONTH! Impressive. LOL...
-
sh** i just went back to look through my order and i have the cclf display, now i have to call them back up SH** that sucks sorry for the miss infromation when i ordered it on the phone he confirmed it with me that it was the slim and light display LED LCD backlight
-
Are you positive? ... well... I guess if you see the words CCFL on there, then it prolly is true. :-(

Yep... call and reorder!
-
i dont know how i missed that most likely i just thought the guy was right when i ordered it from the phone o well i hope i will get it for free and ship date i will fight... i hope ship date stays the same but i think it won't
-
Most likely not... adding the LED LCD usually adds about 13-15 days to that shipping date. :-(...
-
that sucks i going to make him pay for this o well i dont need it until sep 10 but im not going to pay for it... yah he should expedite it to

If you change up your order, it will definitely add 15 or so days to the lead time. -
Did your original order have the proper screen???
-
that's why people need to ask Dell to send them the confirmation email before they end the phone call with Dell. That's what I did and noticed they left out my figerprint reader even though they said they added it. This way you get to look over the components they added in case they didn't add what you wanted or added the wrong thing. You also get to correct it right then instead of having to call later after you figure out they made a mistake and have to deal with canceling, reordering and having your ship date pushed back farther.
JUST A SUGGESTION -
i know its my fault but when i ask them 3 times its stupid
-
...maybe the rep didn't know what you were talking about. Some... er... most don't know what anyone is talking about I think. :-(...
-
I would believe because of the shortage they are being pushed to sell as many with the normal screen as they can..
-
See I had the same problem, on my original order they gave me the CCFL screen and wireless N card, when I changed it they still tried to give me the N card, both were over the phone. Seems odd so many people have said the same thing about them confirming the order over the phone but the confirmation is wrong.
-
the dell rep that is monitoring my order just told me that he has all the parts to my order except for the hinge connecting the screen and the keyboard....he said blah blah blah not to worry that is the only item on backorder and we should have your computer ready shortly......
btw i didnt get the LED screen so yeah........quoted ship date was 8/15.....currently in build stage......
correct me if im wrong but doesnt build stage mean they have all the parts......how can it be in build stage if its obviously missing a hinge......sorry to say this but being in build stage prolly doesnt mean much at all...... -
Does anyones order status in the states say "build" while logged onto your account? Or does it just say "in production" and "build" when you call?
-

-
the US site doesnt show any more detail than "in production"......i think someone said the canadian site shows the more detailed information.......ppl only find out by calling in and hearing the lady tell them the current status......
and yeah the build stage is a bunch of crap because there is no way some ppl who ordered like 2 days ago have all the parts already whereas others who ordered late june are still in pre-production......im pretty convinced dell just moved a chunk of ppl into build just to shut them up after hearing all the complaints on forums and such........my rep definetely said that my order was in the build stage but the hinge was on backorder.......doesnt make any sense..... -
-
Us Canucks only get the "In Production" level and I dont know of
any Cdns getting any more detailed info such as the "build" and "testing" stages.
I could be wrong.
PS My wife is checking the house swap website out for August... Anyone within 15 hours interested in coming to the Falls for 2 weeks and swapping homes?? lol -
