Post when XPS M1330 ordered and when/if shipped

umm ive received some pics from tileman to confirm he has the LED and well, look for the results in the other thread very soon

 

Ok, email at http://www.afdriver.com/06-11/AFDF/showthread.php?t=75 make sure it's pretty good to go.

 

Trubuin, I'd tone down it a little bit. No need to be agressive and yet put your point thru

 

Ha ha ... nice. Good night!

 

What part should I pull/change?

 

it is 2:30 AM, and I'm trying to be as nice as I can...my wife wasn't

 

I love the ending :"I'm going back to bed". Perfect!

 

Fixing a lot of grammar errors via chat. Thanks guys

do you guys actually think michael dell is going to read that, the ceo of a a multi billion dollar company is going to read complaints?? i don't think so

 

They did for him...

http://lordzero.org/dell/email.htm

 

He has a corporate team that will read that and respond usually with in 24 hours

 

ok then i guess i stand corrected...

 

but its a mac, with 1 mouse button and lots of white colouring

 

well, I'm back off to bed, I deleted the email and will post info if I ever hear anything. Have a good day on the other side of the world.

 

Amen to that!

 

Hey hey hey...They haven't shipped my black yet. Wait your turn whites

 

lol, i just hope i dont go from boxing back to build...that would be horrible

 

Someone went from testing BACK to build. (d94 or something) That sounds like a complete nightmare.

Please keep posting comments to direct2dell.com and let them know that they can't have a product launch like this again!

 

who is this person? I can't see anything else on the site?

 

Foul! Reverse colorism!

 

Instead of black I prefer to call it the Johnny Cash edition

 

its from Digg.com

... like I said before ... complain on Direct2Dell!

 

Two stroke penalty, plus a yellow card.

EDIT: Quoted the wrong post.

 

Is the Order Status 800 number down again? Every time I call it says please wait after I enter the order number and then wants to transfer me to a rep.

 

You probably just won the 1 billionth status call prize. I hear it's a new messenger bag!

 

When I call it doesn't recognize my order no. ><

 

Yeah! Just say the words "Shipped" and I will be happy!

Great comparison for those that got the LED or CCFL

 

And if you had ordered the 1520, it would match your laptop! You prob would even have it already.

 

I hope that ya'll like the trickle effect cause that's the way it will be for the next 10 to 14 days

 

you don't care where to? What if it ships to... Lithuania? :laugh:

 

My free messenger bag matches my laptop at the moment...it's nonexistent.

 

I would take a little trip to pick it up....

 

I just got off the phone with a Dell case manager regarding my order.

My m1330 went from Build (7/16/07) to Testing (7/20/07 morning) to Boxing (7/20/07 afternoon). As of today my laptop hasn't shipped.

So, I contacted Dell and was escalated to a Dell case manager to find out why my m1330 was taking so long in Boxing.

He contacted Dell operations/manufacturing about my order and why it was still in Boxing. Apparently my laptop is still waiting a part, the LID. He says it was built and tested but did not have the LID, and should arrive August 10th.

Somehow i don't believe Dell would start building a system without all the parts. I ordered the Black case.

This is my 7th day in the Boxing stage, my phone status hasn't changed, and it still hasn't shipped.

 

What a pain in the A55!

 

WHAT?.... How does that make any sense? The next thing you know, you'll be back in BUILD. I hate Dell...

 

Lol.. here's my failed attempt to check for my status via online live chat:

2:05:59 PM CA SALES Cecil 371406 Thank You for Contacting us. Please contact us should you need help. We will be glad to assist you.
2:06:09 PM System CA SALES Cecil 371406 has left this session!
2:06:09 PM System The session has ended!

she didn't even let me talk and cut me off

 

If you missed the comparison then its got its own thread here:

She probably read your previous transcripts

 

i hope this doesnt happen to me....i'll call later, if they tell me the same thing i'll make sure i get nbd shipping because now that i have a chance of getting it before i have to go move in for school...i want to be sure it stays like that

 

If I remember correctly, once your order moves into the boxing stage...they cannot upgrade the shipping. Even if the rep says they have upgraded to to nbd and it says so online according to the order status page, it will still come it the original shipment method. I have heard of many people complain about that. The reason is as soon as the computer goes into the boxing, the shipping label is printed here in the US and tagged onto the box with all the extra accessories you ordered, once the computer arrives, they just take the small box and place it in the bigger box and ship it out.

 

By lid they could mean the entire top including the LED/CCFL and that would be consistant with what we've been hearing.

It does make sense that this is a sub assembly that could be built independantly of the other half (unsing a completely different manufacturer).

At least you're in box.

 

still no update on the direct2dell website...

 

Keeping faith though that they will update very soon!

 

the blah has spoken...



geez im bored at work, lol

 

It really is a crock that some of us ordered within minutes of the M1330 being available on June 26th, and are still "in production" whereas others ordered the same spec system 3+ weeks later and are in boxing stage. I am glad that people are receiving theirs, but this really is a crock.

 

Last night it was updated around 10pm so that would mean the update will come today .

 

Once I read the update I might just go ahead and cancel. I am considering getting a D630 now since Dell already has my money. Plus it can ship within a week.

 

Still in the build stage. I'm going to hold on to the hope that I get moved to testing or boxing until tomorrow around this time and then I'm going to draft an email to that Mike Dell email as well.
I don't care if other customers get there laptop before me as long as mine gets shipped on the estimated shipping date (okay so maybe I do a little, but I'll be content if that happens), but if others get there's and my mine doesn't ship I'm going to furious. Not so much at those who ordered around 6/28, 29 and the 30th. Mostly at those with July 5th and 11th type dates. I still can't see any reason why someone who ordered in July should get their laptop before those of us who ordered on the first day.
Next tuesday will be my 5th week to the day waiting for this infernal machine. I'm in a pretty crappy position here, there's nothing that really compares to this - the macbook pro runs on OSX which annoys me and it's too heavy. The sony isn't out yet and I need laptop for law school asap, so I can't, and don't really want to, cancel. I just wish there was a way to get Dell to stop jerking us around. And I don't want free coupons or sleeve, that stuff is useless to me, I just want my stupid laptop.
