    I ordered an Inspiron 6400 and it says the estimated arrival date is June 30. I have a question. When they deliver the package, they deliver to right to my front door? or to the postal office?

    If they deliver to my front door, and I'm not there to pick it up, what happens then?

    I assume that the same rules apply for Canada that are in the USA. Dell will attempt to deliver to your door. Someone must be there to sign for the package. If nobody is there, they will leave a notice on your door saying they were there and when they will be back. You should be able to call the shipping company once you get the notice, and ask them to hold the package at the local pick up center. Then you could pick up your laptop when you have a chance.

    They might leave it with a neighbor, but I don't think they do that anymore. I think they only try to deliver to the residence, and if the residence isn't there, then they'll try again.
