    thats just the way it is

    its better than me

    and why the heck did you get fedex...lucky...i got DHL which is crappier...

    My laptop has been sitting in the DHL office two blocks away from my house since friday night, and they won't even let me come pick it up. I'm not even gonna wait for delivery tomorrow (monday) and just go pick it up in the morning myself.

    Yea I was hoping I didn't get DHL because I heard they sucked. I think I got FedEX because I got a next business day shipping upgrade.

    If you're experience with DHL is the same as mine........ they are going to tell you that even though it's there, Dell requires them to try to deliver it at least once before they can let you pick it up yourself.
