    I have a similar question. Mine shipped on the 15th and as of 5:54PM today it was scanned at TORONTO SORT CTR/CTR TRIE, ON and is now in transit. I live in a suburb of Toronto (Richmond Hill), so should I be expecting it tonight? Or will I have to wait over the weekend...because I'm gone tommorow and all of next week and the weekend after so if I get it now that would be huge for me.

    Mine took 5 days including a weekend to arrive to Vancouver Island. Another person I know got theirs 7 days after it shipped. So sometime between 3-5 business days would be a safe bet.

    If it's in transit, I'd expect you to hear the doorbell ring soon...

    Unless by "In Transit", they mean it will be in transit the next business day. But who knows?!

    I love in Montreal. Mine was shipped just past midnight on Aug 16 and it arrived in Toronto at 4:42 PM. It said it went into transit a minute afterward. I'm guessing it will arrive at the Montreal hub in about an hour. I'll probably receive it Monday unless they deliver on Saturdays; then I'd expect it tomorrow.

    After doing some research on the Purolator website, I believe they can deliver on Saturdays. However, I'm not sure if this costs extra and if that be the case, I don't think Dell would've paid that extra.

    Has anyone ever received a Dell from Purolator on a Saturday?
