Well Im currently on the Phone...

with the order change department. Im going to change my order to color that doesnt have a craxy wait time like the red had. Wish me luck!

Ill update as soon as its over.

 

You understand by changing your colour the order is resubmitted and you are now at the end of the line. If another issue then creates lead times (ie monitor) you now will have an extended time later, many times without being informed.

 

WEll Ill hope for the best. But thanks for that info. What sucks is that my phone died towards the of the conversation.

 

yes you may find yourself starting all over again from the start.. i changed mine and was assured it would not cause a delay but low and behold my ship date went three weeks out farther than before the change.. really stinks

 

According to Mr. Anderson, laptops are done randomnly. So she may be brought to the beginning of the line. Or the middle. It really depends on the kind of mood the Malaysia Assembly Team is in.

 

That's really not what I said at all. Read it again.

oh and apparently red doesn't have a delay anymore! don't do it!!!!!!!! I think you will be so much happier getting the color you want! stick with red!

 

Actually red still has a delay. I was sent email yesterday that my ruby red 1520 is still delayed until 8/28.

 

I'm sorry to hear that...

 

So are you thinking of changing it to black or white? Don't do it! Red is so sexy!! Stick with red! 20 days will go by fast

But, its always your choice!

 

My ruby red is in the hands of Fed-Ex - it will arrive tomorrow!

 

depends on the model, has OP even given us her specs and original order date?? 1420 Reds are not delayed. IMO I would NOT change the order, I think you will regret it when you find yourself possibly waiting longer than you probably would've originally.

 

Don't cancel.

 

don't do it! in a month when you have your computer you're not even going to remember all these delays!!

whats the update? have you done it???? (hope not!)

 

I really want the red. I'm going to try and stick it out. Hopefully it will ship out sooner than the 28th.

 

Well I suppose I have done it. My phone went dead and I wasnt able to finish... I may have just royally screw myself....

If It went through Ill be getting a White one, what I origanally wanted but I guess Ill see....


Whatever happens thanks guys for the information and such. Ill update whenever something occurs.

 

This post makes no sense. Mr. Anderson's made plenty.

 

It makes perfect sense if you catch the sarcasm...I guess you didn't though...lol...no worries...

 

I just got off of the phone and cancelled/re-ordered. I spoke to a sales rep to reorder and I feel so much better about my purchase now. I was at an 8/28 ship date and changed to a 1720 from a 1520 (saw one today and liked it better!) and changed lid color to yellow. My rep spoke directly to his manager who gave me a great deal (only 100 dollars more than the 1720) and expidited the order directly. I know that may be a bunch of bull but I still feel better anyway!!!

 

Oh yeah, and the rep said the quickest colors as of today were white, black and yellow. Just FYI.

 

LOL according to the Dell order website today, white is not delayed, black is delayed by 5 business days and yellow by 9 business days!

ETA: I guess the rep wasn't wrong though, those ARE the 3 shortest delays!!

 

Yay Im in the Boxing stage as of right now. But they put the wrong color on; I told the CSR White and she gave me black. Oh well at this point color is the last thing Im going to worry about. 'll keep you posted with the progress.

Thanks guys!
