    When I checked my Dell account yesterday, and to my surprise it was shipped. I was so happy, that I clicked on the DHL link and saw that DHL had acknowledged the shipment. Then I checked the DHL website again today and the status was the same as yesterday. I called DHL and find out that the package did not reach DHL because it was not shipped. WTF! Then I asked DHL when it would reach the carrier office and they said whenever Dell schedules a pickup.

    So basically Dell said it was shipped even though its still at their factory a day after the ship date? Is this normal?

    Patience grasshopper. If the package gets to you later than the intended delivery date, Dell will give you money back or a coupon...

    This happens everywhere really. Dell literally ships out computers by the truckload, so there is some delay from when it is prepared for shipment and when it gets scanned and starts moving.

    Its probably on DHL truck heading to the distribution center. Check tonight at 8pm, otherwise it probably won't be scanned till monday but don't worry its on it way.

    say the DHL truck picks up the laptop today, is it possible that I will get my laptop on Monday?

    My shipping option is 3-5 business days and how fast is DHL?

    Same here mine was acknowledged at 12:00 a.m on 8/9 but nothing has happened. The weird thing is I ordered a printer with my laptop and It got shipped out a week ago and dhl had the shipment notification at 12:00 a.m on 8/1 and it was delivered at my house around 10:00 a.m the next day. Shipped from the same place and so it seems like that dhl picked it up and sent it out later that day. So it seems like they do this every night but I wonder why it hasn't even been scanned yet.

    So I guess I won't be seeing my lappy till monday :(

    Same here, only acknowledged...DHL doesn't update their website often though. There's an very slim chance it might be here tomorrow. Last time I got an package, it didn't show delivered until a couple hours later.

    The good news is DHL is shipping very quickly at least for some of us. Mine got shipped yesterday and it's out for delivery as we speak! Now if only I knew when the DHL truck comes around here...

    In my experience, delivery trucks only deliver when no one is home for 15 minutes, then I need to drive an hour away to get my package later that day :D

    My vostro has been acknowledged as of today at 1pm. It wasn't supposed to be shipping until the 17th! Lucky break I guess. And It looks like DHL is based in Memphis, TN, and I live in Knoxville, TN. Should be here by Monday!
