Post when XPS M1330 ordered and when/if shipped

5 weeks delay announced on the french website for the 1330... It was 3 weeks last week. Getting worse and worse, it will soon be more difficult to find a 1330 than a Wii back to last Xmas!

 

oooh i feel sorry for you.. Thought my wait was bad

 

I order the morning of the 26th and just went into build yesterday. I should meet my delivery date provided that my lappy has all the parts. Dell called me last night at 1 AM and told me my laptop was going to be delayed because there was a shortage of palm rests for it. That sounds like malarkey.

 

Yet another joke. What the hell is happening They dont seem to allocate parts to people who bought them 1st. Just seems to be which laptop gets to the prouction line faster.. Oh and then they realise that there arnt enough parts!

 

still in build stage...

 

Yea, shouldn't I still be in the kitting stage if I didn't have all the parts

 

Yup or pre-pruduction in the UK, Theyre building out hopes up when it moves to a new stage... then giving us a delay when they reallise there arnt enough parts to build it.
This is driving me mad, im gonna go and have brunch!

 

Okay, so I have been in the "Build Stage" since Monday, what is the longest time people have been in the build stage?

 

I called about the build times and they say 24-48 hours then a further day to test and pack!
Obviously a lie, or they dont have enough parts which is rediculous!

 

Well lets "all" pray that mine goes into boxing stage today...don't worry about yourself or anyone else, just me!

 

I was told 5 days but we'll see.

 

id love to worry about yours instead, but that doesnt take my mind off the worry of mine!
The postman came 2 mins ago and rang the doorbell (Today is my original delivery date) And i saw a parcell in his hand.....

Nope it wasnt for us, it was for nextdoor, neither did it have dell on it
I think im paranoid!

 

:laugh: :laugh: I would have almost died if I had been you but then again, your order doesn't show as shipped online or by phone, right?

 

That is about the only thing that sounds close to what I heard: 3-5 days to go from build to shipped. It does make sense to me for that time range.

 

...is this thing on? I know all of you M1330 people can't be sleeping.

 

Thank god your here...I thought I was all alone.

I agree that 5 days sounds about right.

 

I think that Dell underestimated the shipping dates for a lot of customers when they started out with 2 weeks, while many others of us could only get a 4 week time to delivery. Now Dell is trying to blame that mistake on anything other than themselves.

 

I'm awake... but I'm not going to start checking yet. In a few hours... LOL.

 

Haha, I'm in Japan, it's 8:30 here

 

I would have killed for four weeks, mine was just over 7 weeks.

 

Thats right.. i did neraly die, I was thinking what i was going to shout at the dell rep for the undue stress..

 

I couldn't sleep last night so I decided to come to work at 6 instead of 7:30, that way I had a good hour of playing online and not doing anything else before the boss got here...and I was just told he isn't coming in today!!!

 

Yours should be delivered before mine...in around 3 weeks. I was told that the actual delivery starts Monday. Anyone who's in boxing now is probably in that group. Second group of build will probably be Tuesday; I'll probably be Thursday or Friday.

 

Wow.... on a Friday? Impressive!

 

Wow, where did you hear that?

I am thinking of starting a thread but I want only people in the Testing, Boxing or Shipped stage to reply and tell me how long they were in build and when they ordered.

 

Just looking at your sig and it says you went to build on 7/16, that is the same as me...I bet ours ship on the same day too!

 

I hope so... I hope it goes into ship today ... .

 

I think it is so funny that some of us have the automated number and our order number memorized...lol

 

I hope so too but I think it will probably just stay in build for a little longer...

 

I harassed the sales dept to find out for me. I finally got an answer out of them on that. I also have some experience tearing apart and rebuilding my first gateway laptop and I'm pretty sure it that 3-5 days is a very good time frame to get it built correctly. Do you know how many screws they put in these things? It took me an entire day to get it torn down completely and another two to get it put back right...half of the time trying to figure out what size screw goes where.

 

just talked to my rep..and even tho my ship date is the end of NEXT month, he assured my id have my laptop before the end of this one

 

I don't think its funny.... I think its quite sad.... and I blame Dell for it. LOL...

 

I received the same assurance...we'll see!

 

yeah, it took me a little while my first time too..
but actually the other day i had to replace and LCD and CPU on a del lappy
took less than a half hour for the the whole job..and thats after working on 10 laptops or so in my lifetime
..those dell dudes should be knocking them out in 15 minutes!
then again, they're building from scratch...and then again it all just fits together lol

 

You do realize, this thread will probably go over the 200 page mark in the coming week...I wonder if any higher-up Dell people are watching this thread, laughing their ass off at us comparing each others status.

 

i love how many ppl are posting here in the morning

 

The thing with this thread is, that you almost can't sleep, because anytime you are away from this thread and you come back, you have missed 5 pages...

 

Who knows, maybe he just wanted you to get off the phone?

 

Good point! I have already called the automated number 3 times in the past 2 hrs and nothing is changing!

 

It's crazy, I finally posted a thread that took off Anyhow, I ended up with about 300 plus screws to sort out...that was on a 98 gateway solo 2500...I can't believe I can actually remember that.
Unscrew these four, pull, nope
Oh, here's one, unscrew, pull
Ah hah, remove those rubber things, four more, unscrew, pull
ah, there's more hidden in the hard drive,...you get the point.

 

My name is Trebuin, and I'm a statusholic.

OH YA! I'm in the TESTING stage as of 8:20AM EST this morning.

Ordered 6/29/07, changed order 7/2/7, ESD 8/23/07.

Damn you!!!!

 

So, you didn't get the LED screen, that might be why it shipped so soon.

 

at least you are in the build stage, all UK orders are stuck in pre production.

but I agree , damn you monkhi...damn you

 

5591 is the LED, apparently it replaces part number 5583. Which is in another order I have. Some orders have 5591, some 5583 for the LED.

 

Oh Yeah! Mine has moved to the boxing stage. I should see it early next week!!!!

 

Wow, its amazing, looks like they are starting to move! Maybe we're next blahdude.
