    Mine still says In Transit to the Wilmington - Clinton Field, OH hub :(

    It's funny because on DHL's tracking it says Est Delivery Date is today 9/5 even though it was shipped ground. I highly doubt it's coming today......

    Damn, it's all blanks on my tracking page!

    "9/4/2007 8:36 pm Processed at DHL Location. "

    No location, no ETA, no shipping info, even no weight, ship from and ship to addresses

    What the hell is going on??

    eesh - I can't wait anymore!!!

    Yesterday afternoon my 1520 arrived in Nevada - last night it went south to California to a regional processing hub... and I think right now it's heading back north to Washington. Hopefully it arrives in WA this morning and I get it this afternoon.

    I was so excited all night thinking that when I logged on today it would be in my state, it's disappointing to realize that it had to go further away from me before coming to me.

    argh!

    At least your tracking status is letting you know where it is! Mine has been stuck "In Transit" to that stupid hub in Ohio.

    That's a good question. DHL probably gave some Dell CEO's season tickets to the Rangers or Cowboys and, thus, a contract was formed :)

    I called DHL this morning because all fields on my tracking page is blank! And the guy told me that there are some pacgakes from Dell are having problems and it may take one more day to process... I don't understand how can such a simple task be messed up by Dell? Well, I think they are just stupid!

    FYI. DHL doesn't seem to update their tracking in real time. For example, my package "supposedly" shipped from Dell on 9/2 with a DHL EDD of 9/4. Didn't work out that way, though.

    • 9/2/2007 12:00 am - Shipment Acknowledged - Nashville, TN
    • 9/2/2007 12:00 am - Picked Up by DHL - Nashville, TN
    • 9/4/2007 11:27 pm - In Transit - Wilmington/Clinton Field, OH
    • 9/5/2007 12:59 am - Processed at DHL - Wilmington/Clinton Field, OH
    • 9/5/2007 12:59 am - EDD still 9/4
    • 9/5/2007 5:48 am - Depart Facility - Wilmington/Clinton Field, OH
    • 9/5/2007 7:35 am - Arrived at DHL facility - Blountville, TN
    • 9/5/2007 12:20 pm - SHIPMENT DELIVERED! :D
    You may want to notice that the package was never listed "Out for Delivery" before it was delivered to my home. It was a fluke that I happened to be home when they delivered.

    Anyway, I FINALLY have my Dell now. Unfortunately I have to leave and won't be opening the box until later tonight.

    Mine was delivered at 11:30 this morning while I was asleep. They dropped it off at the apt office without leaving me any notices on my door. Lovely.

    Well, after all that I have it. Complete with absolutely terrible headphone jack noise. I knew the hassles wouldn't be over with after I received it.

    even though I never had an expierence with DHL reading about it makes me so nervous....who knows.....they could deliver it to the jailhouse here in Jacksonville to some bum who just got out of jail downtown...but seriously this stuff looks serious....I'm surprised they're still in business......I've been using fed ex and ups for my primary shipping I've trust them with my valuables for a long time...but this is the first time I've will deal with DHL.....

    Am freaking fed up with this DhL courier. Is it every time you ship a product by this company that your headache rating rise up to a 100 degree percent or what? It says in transit in Ohio and it last for days. This is getting out of hand and maybe George Bush will step in. Will somebody explain why this packages are stuck in Wimington,Ohio? I need answers! :mad:

    DO you want to hear some ultra bull ^%$#

    I ordered a $2300 m4400 dell and i payed for next business day and it was suppose to be here yesterday here is what dhl said

    read it form bottom to top!

    9/9/2008 9:13 pm Processed at DHL Location. Shipment arrived at incorrect facility Salt Lake City Regional Hub, UT

    9:05 pm In transit. Salt Lake City Regional Hub, UT

    9/8/2008 11:21 pm Shipment arrived at incorrect facility. Sent to correct destination. Riverside County Regional Hub, CA

    1:13 pm Shipment picked up Sparks, NV

    12:00 am Shipment Acknowledged Sparks, NV

    I live in Idaho and they once again sent it to the wrong place I tore the DHL rep a new one and guess what they said "I am sorry sir but there is nothing i can do" Not to make lite of my personal life but my home burned down last week in the big Boise Idaho fire and DHL is requiring me to wait at my rubble (home) and will let me pick up the package and have to try to deliver and i have see that i am not home WHAT KIND OF BULL IS THAT i told the rep that and the same line "i cant help you" they will not give me any info. I am filling a report with BBB Dell and DHL corporate. All i want is my super expensive laptop because well i have nothing.

    I run a eBay business I use fedEx and Ups I shipped over 2000 packages last year i have never EVER had a package go to the wrong STATE let alone 2 TIMES!!!!!! :mad:

    DHL SUCKS Big Time!!
