    I was hoping that I wasn't really going to be part of the club BUT here I am!

    I learned this morning that even if the system says that I've been "In production" since 08/07, the actual production is planned for September 1st...

    Dell really has a way to make thir customers feel appreciated.

    Estimated shipping is somewhere between Aug 30 and Sep 4 depending on who I ask, and the estimated delivery has held steady at Sep 7, so I'm just in the club. I hope this is accurate, because at one point a CSR told me it would be more like Sep 17-19 - but they seem pretty confident now that it will go into production within a week. Fingers crossed.

    Looks like our laptops will be flying on the same plane, along with my cousin's Green Inspiron... My Latitude D830 went into Boxing today. ESD was September 4th, but looks like I'll have it in my hands before the end of the week.

    I'm hoping for good things for the 8/28 people and maybe more tomorrow. I'll know if they get delayed again then I can be waiting as well.

    My attitude has been that they told me 5-6 weeks beforehand and did mention many of the features would delay my shipping date, no way they can make someone wait 6 weeks and then delay again.

    Just don't know where else I can find something similar for a similar price I will like.

    3 weeks went by really fast, and 3 more weeks will go by fast....I just don't believe I will be delayed. I'm not cancelling though. Already have waited so long, might as well go the distance.

    good luck guys in getting your dells. hoping for the best.

    I really don't believe the Sonys or the HP's or the Toshibas are any better, and how else can I build the PC I want? I know I'd love a new Apple to go with my G4 Tower I already have, but it would cost me more.

    Well my move from the 8/28 club to the 9/5 club at least boosted my compensation from $50 to $100. It's worth it IMO but this is beginning to get really frustrating. I can't wait patiently too much longer, this puts my wait time at 6 weeks.

    I am sure they will if a 9/05 clubmember becomes a 10/XX

    But I would imagine a 9/5 would go to 9/12 then to 9/19 and so on till they finally get the week right.

    If you had to agree to the new shipping date and have been offered free 1 day shipping, you may want to call in and verify that 1 day shipping is still on your order. Mine dropped off and I had to get it added again by a CSR.

    Wow! Two delays in one day. I checked status this morning to find that I had been delayed to 9/5 and just checked status again this afternoon to find that I have been delayed to 9/10.

    Me too. :mad:

    I got a second email this evening telling me that my system was delayed to 09/05, so I called Dell again to make sure that they don't cancel my order. The CSR told me that they accidentally sent everyone (even new orders) a date of 09/05 and my actual date is now 09/10.

    Sounds like a lot of folks in the 09/05 club can expect to be bumped to 09/10. :(

    9 fricken 10! I called & complained, they gave me $50 more for a grand total of $100. I don't know if it's worth it, I needed the computer because I started school this week.

    I thought if I ordered the standard screen rather than hi-res, my order might not be delayed. So much for that! I should have ordered the one I wanted in the first place. Too late now.
