A Levels?....
Why dont you try University Degree at Warwick which is 90 miles away from london and strarting in a matter of weeks!?!?!?
-
Why dont you all edit your sig and write what price you got your system at so atleast people can see if they got a good deal or not.
-
I just ordered my vostro to replace ****ty inspiron 1300. Specs are in sig, got quite a good deal shame it will take so long to come.
-
My system was in pre-production yesterday and is now being prepped for delivery, so excited
-
I'm particularly annoyed as when I ordered my rep told me if I upgraded to the WXGA+ Truelife screen there would be no delay (there was on the WXGA screen) and i'd definately receive the laptop by the end of the month. -
great1 I'm not trying to start an Argument unlike some people, I know Tensions are high because people want their laptops - simple fact is we have to wait.
And there is no point trying to out do each other like "oooh I've got a Uni Degree to do" well sorry to stop the party but I've got a Pilots Course and a Computing course to work on at the same time!
I expect Dell distributors are aware of this problem and are doing their bloody well best to get on top of the situation... -
Holly poo my one has been dispatched
Looks like I will get mine in time for Uni! Relieved like hell....
-
Damn it, when did you place your order?
I hope mine comes before the 10th! -
Order went through on the 23rd, which was Thursday... on Friday it went to Production but then during the weekend & bank holiday it went back to pre-production. Checked it today, and it went to Preparing for dispatch, and apparently now it's already out!
I'm sure your order will be fine dude don't worry about it
-
-
I ordered @ Lunchtime on that Thursday, no activity order-wise until Bank Holiday when it went into Pre-production, god help us...
-
lol I'm going on holiday this thursday myself though so I guess coming home the week after isn't going to be too bad
-
Guys...I haven't had time to ring Dell with being out yesterday and visiting ill relatives today but I have come home to delivery preparation
-
Cool, my 1400 has just gone into production...no idea whether it will stay there after reading quite a few posts on the whole back and forth issue!
-
Just gone into dispatched status but:
-
LOL delivering that would be awesome, "here's your nothing sir"
I'm sure its just a lack of info being typed by the courier... -
-
Funny guys....
Considering I have read more than once of supposed deliveries being made where in actual fact the system never left with the shipping company...it's something to be considered is it not? -
"yes mate"
*terry walks to the delivery van miming he is carring an exremely heavey vostro and throws it into the van* -
It's one way for Dell to save money lol!
-
-
Can I know ur lappy specs and when did u order?......My Specs and Order date in sig -
T7300
2GB Ram
8400GS
120GB HDD
WXGA+ with Truelife (they told me the WXGA Truelife was on a 28 day lead time)
Webcam, Bluetooth, AGN Wifi
Just gone into Delivery Preparation.
Looks like they might even meet the original EDD if it ships next-day today. -
-
Heh with the new e-value codes on the dell website the same specced laptop (which now includes a 160GB HDD as standard) is about £70 cheaper!
Damnit. I'd cancel and re-order but I can't wait another month. Hmm, I wonder if I phone them I could convince them to give me some money, although I doubt it since it's about to ship. -
Ah excellent, delivered scheduled for the 3rd (monday) and shipping 1 box 4Kg
-
-
Craven when did yours go into Dispatched status? It has taken mine about 14 hours to give me tracking details.
Howeverrr, you could try going here:
http://www.walshwestern.com/scripts/trackntrace.htm
Take your customer number:GBXXXXXXXand change "GB" to "02" ,and enter your order number also. WWI may just be slightly laggy so give it a day maybe two and then I would just contact Dell. -
Went to dispatched status earlier today, just tried the link again and it's working this time:
Date Time Location Activity
30/08/07 22:00 RAHEEN DEPARTED EMF LIMERICK.
Although next to ETA it says "Carrier will phone customer to arrange suitable delivery date" so I guess I have to wait for the phone call, when did they call you? -
They didn't call me, it's just scheduled for Monday. Mine left an hour before yours but also with RAHEEN lol.
-
Ahh interesting, don't know why they need to phone me then.
Yup, Raheen is the district where the Dell factory is (it's in Raheen Industrial Estate). -
Ahh, I was thinking Raheen was a person. My bad haha.
An idea would be to ring Walsh and Western yourself - May get you scheduled for Monday yourself. If not you may have the delay waiting to be rang. -
Yep good plan, i'll give them a ring at some point tomorrow if I haven't heard anything from them.
-
-
mine was dispatched 2day....i think. but where it has the order history, it says this:
Date 31/08/07
Time 17:00
Location RAHEEN
Activity DEPARTED EMF LIMERICK.
so does that mean its scheduled to leave at 17:00?
my ETA says 04/09/07 -
Yep it will leave at 5, it took me a while to catch on that it wasn't that there was no progress being made, it's just it was scheduled to ship in the future lol.
-
Heh how annoying, it's now at a business post depot about 20 minutes away. Phoned them to ask whether I could pick it up today but they wouldn't let me.
-
Mine is still marked as
-
^ still the same lol. I wonder where it is?...
-
So it's here.
First thing I noticed was the wobbly battery. -
Should be getting my Vostro 1500 tomorrow, pretty excited tbh!
-
Yeh mine should be here tomorrow too
any idea what time this welsh western company delivers? -
1400 arrived today.
Wobbly battery
Reasonably grainy screen (considering ringing Dell about this...not sure I can live with it)
Terrible vertical viewing angles (TERRIBLE...)
hM.. -
-
SEC, which is why I say reasonably...it's not terrible, not brilliant, but livable for me as a photoshop user so far.
Honestly...aside from a few little things, I like the laptop a lot - it's heavy - but I would buy it again.
p.s. Re-format neccesary. No doubt about that.
Edit: Beware of a very noisy disc drive! In mine anyway.... -
Can I know what and all CDs or DVDs u have recieved with ur laptop. Have u recieved the Dell Reinstallation Operating System DVD (OEM)? -
1400 included Media (Disc):
OS Reinstallation DVD
Drivers and Utilities
Webcam Manager reinstalltion
Mediadirect reinstallation
Microsoft works 8.5
Roxio creator and MyDVD 9 -
Mine is still in Pre-production and is meant to be with me within 10 days, what are my chances?!
