    So far my Dell has been in shipping from China for 4 days.

    Looking on here, it seems that it normally lands here in the UK on the 3rd or 4th day.

    So, my question is, are they using a Canoe, or one of those old pedal powered planes to bring my Laptop to me?

    Probably popped it in a bottle with an address, and hoped for the best.

    Rang Walsh Western yesterday who claimed they hadn't received the laptop yet, but was told to ring back today. Rang today, and they booked my delivery for Wednesday.

    Woo

    Good Luck with your Alienware. I'd love one, but I can't justify the cost yet!
