Post when XPS M1330 ordered and when/if shipped

If anyone gets their order bumped up at the expense of mine, I'll be royally pissed.

 

What do you mean? Like Nukey said, you can get overnight shipping for free (if you ask about ur order status and such -- see previous threads), but thats their "expedite" shipping. You can't bump up your order in line... :-(. I'm sure a lot of people tried already.

 

I know, I was merely joking. (Sarcasm never transmits well over the intarwebz.) I think many people think getting their order 'expedited' means it gets some sort of priority at preproduction/production time. Obviously not true.

 

Oh.... I feel like a dumb-@$$ now... I hate sarcasm over the web!

 

Were you just being sarcastic?

Can you imagine how badly that would mess up Dell if they were constantly shifting order priority around. And like people have been saying, I think Dell has only just started assembling laptops recently, and I doubt they have LED screens.

 

It would prolly get to a point where nothing gets done. heh heh heh....

 

Dell XPS m1330

Order Date: 7/03/2007
Est. Ship Date: 8/21/2007

Why is the Est. Ship Date 8/06/2007 for the same configuration today, 7/7/2007? Has anyone else noticed the ship date decreasing sine they placed their order? Will Dell update you on your est ship date, or will you just get an email when it ships?

 

I believe that is for the non-LED LCD's....

I don't think they shrink the est ship date on your order either... it can ship anytime before then so it covers their butt.

 

Nope, it doesn't matter which screen you configure it with, the Dell US estimated ship date is 08/06 if your order it today. Now what it would actually who up as on your confirmation may be different.

 

Where do you see this?

I just went to Dell's site and selected the LED LCD. THEN I selected the review & continue tab. It increased from the 6th to the 23rd!

 

Hrm, you're right. I didn't actually go to the review and continue section and it doesn't auto-update as it normally would if there's actually an acknowledged delay.

 

OK, I forgot the est ship date didn't update until you click continue...

 

Glad to keep this community sane ...

 

I also noticed that sometimes if you configure the system, even with an EST Ship. Date on Checkout. If you were to check your order status, it would actually show the EST Ship. Date with approximately 13-15 days more than originally printed.

 

Hmmmmmm.... this theory is a little harder to test.

I wouldn't be surprised though.

 

Dell rep told me Dispite it says aug 27, only usually takes 3 week when i order over the phone

I SO don't blieve that , but i love the laptop so much i ordered anyway >< LOL

 

I agree, we are all *****ing so much just because we love what we have heard about the laptop and what it asap! I have not once considered cancelling my order, I am willing to wait atleast until mid august if I have to. But after that I will start looking for another discount or something

 

... true ... and I'm PRAYING that the laptops come out with no problems at all (which is never the case with electronics).... but you can always hope for a miracle.

 

Fingers crossed.

 

damnit, aug 27 it's like 2 months from now almost. The wait is so gay ><

 

Does anyone how who or how i should talk in order to get the expediate delivery?

i mean i paid over 2400+ for my m1330

shouldn't they just do overnight delivery once they recieved from the factory? sigh.

7 week wait is a long time, i expect some compansation like overnight delivery

 

You'll get 7 weeks cut down to 6 weeks and 5 days? If it's worth the haggle time on the phone I'm sure they'll do it for you.

 

i'll definetly bug them alot if they don't do it for me .

 

Some people report getting phone calls and getting their orders expedited. Other people (including me) have had success in chatting online and such.

 

its going to be pointless now to be expedited, since everyone in the whole world is expedited. geez.

 

Mine is not expedited... I figured an extra day or two in shipping will not kill me.

 

Its just overnight shipping! No biggie...

 

Happened to me.
I ordered with the EST Ship. Date of 7/29/2007.

And after I checkout and checked my order status, the EST Ship. Date was 8/15/2007 instead.

Note: I did not order the system with LED Backlight screen, only the regular upgrades: Processor ( 1.8ghz ), RAM ( 2gb ), and Bluetooth.

 

Wow... thats strangeeeee. Even today's EST ship date is around the 7th for non-LED backlight laptops. Hmmm....

 

Hopefully that means that laptops already ordered will have that earlier ship date too. August 7th minus some overestimated production days from dell is much better than what my order status page says. (august 16th)

 

On the DELL site... it says that the Build Time is 15 days so maybe we will get it sooner than our shipping dates.

 

If they started building it today (who knows) than it will be done on the 22nd plus overnight shipping is the 23rd. That'd be nice.

My status still says preproduction, but that could mean nothing considering my ship date still says August 16th and my shipping method has yet to change from 3-5 to overnight

 

Don't forget option delays though... that can range from 5 - 15 days. :-(

 

What does option delays mean? I don't think I chose anything odd, (no LED panel)

 

non-LED LCD option = 5 days

LED LCD option = 15 days (I think... too lazy to look it up again)

 

Yep.
Even if the system has started to be in production by today, your system would not be likely to be built today. Possibly, 500 other systems are being built before yours.
So it's highly unlikely that the system would be built that early.

 

A guy could dream... can't he? LOL

 

Btw.. i dunno if it was this forum or not.. ive been watching/reading them.. I foundout the notebooks come from Texas not California.. Thats Y i couldnt get the 2 day shipping upgrade for free.. (Im from Louisiana.. id get it in 2 days away) .. well thats wat i assumed about the shipping

and the premier(sp) accounts all show production.. Mine do.. and they wont let us know that stages.. probably thats y we get the 12% off.. kid...

well anyway.. My specs are

2GB, DDR2, 667MHz 2 Dimm
Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T7300 (2.0GHz/800MhzFSB, 4M L2 Cache)
Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium Edition
120GB 5400RPM SATA Hard Drive
8X DVD+/-RW Slot Load Drive
128MB NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS
No screen upgrade

Order Date: 7/4/2007
Est. Ship Date: 8/7/2007
Est. Delivery Date: 8/10/2007-8/14/2007

Ive heard its good for gameing.. not top of the line obvious.. and I do have a 27 inch hdtv I can hook it up to.. But I hope thats pretty fast.. cause my current comp.. lags when I have itunes and firefox on at the same time.. its pretty bad

 

I do not know what your current system is like, but if this system lags when you are using just iTunes and Firefox then there is something wrong with your Windows install. The base model will be more than enough for iTunes and Firefox.

 

i ordered min earlier this week. expected delivery is 17th of july. ordered from dell australia.
cant believe the wait for some of yur guys. i only have 9 days to go.

ordered the following:
T7300, 2gb, 160gb 7200rpm, LED backlit LCD, BT, fingerprint reader, 8400gt, vista ultimate.

looking forward to getting it

 

What the hell Dell (hehe) the U.S.A. is the center of the world and it looks like we are getting our M1330's last! Everything should be released in America first, then when we all have our systems start giving them to the English and the Aussies. I am starting to wish I never moved away from England I might have a shot at getting my system this month! hehe.

P.S. Sarcasm!

 

placed my order for the m1330 on June 27th, says it is in production and will ship on July 29th. i choose 3-5 day standard shipping =\

 

I canceled my last order ordered today Got 2 GB RAM upgrade for .. and now it's going to be delivered on 23th July..

 

*sigh*... I was thinking about upgrading my battery and adding a little accessories.... but I can do that after I get my laptop.

 

On my way to Austin this weekend I passed through Round Rock, Dell's headquarters. I'm so desperate for my m1330 I almost felt like running into the factory and telling them to hurry up already. Luckily I only live 45 minutes from the factory. But I have an August 22nd ship date,

 

LOL... unfortunately, your m1330 prolly isn't there. It's more likely its overseas right now...

:-(

 

its dell dimension 2400

 

poor soul....

 

Yeah and my parents blame that its slow because of me.. to me a dell on standard specs without customization to the ram or anything.. wont be fast for more then 2-3 years.. Ive gone through maybe 5 dells and one being a laptop..

I want my m1330

 

Ha ha ha.... i've been through 2 dells over 10 years . I want my m1330 too!
