    My dhl guy delivers my stuff usually before 12pm. Where as my UPS guy delivers everything after 6pm. It all depends on your area and how close you are to the depot.

    I believe the signature preferred means someone has to sign it off. The note may work, but i'm not to familar with it.

    How do you know if your order is in the testing stage? I called dell, but they only told me that it only says in production.

    Mine has been in Pensacola Fl since this morning. I called to see what the hold up was and they said they were too busy to get my package???


    Pensacola is 60 miles from me, I could have gone and gotten it. :confused:

    Well as of this afternoon the m1530 I ordered on 7/3 has FINALLY gone back in to the kitting stage.

    It was in build this morning. It's like someone dropped it on the line. :p

    Ben I can't wait to see what yours shows up like, if you get all the stuff and so forth.

    So my laptop shipped today and the order status says that the Est. delivery date is 7/25. Is it possible for it to arrive then even though i have 3-5 day delivery?

    My estimated delivery day was today. :(
    Called Purolator and they said it's at the border so it must be stuck in customs.

    W00t, ordered on the 11th, it was in build until this morning (went back to kitting), and I just checked and it's in testing! So great to not hear "build" again.

    Edit: Now in boxing...oooh yeah :D

    Hey Ben, mine got here at like 11 this morning! No scratches, no keyboard bulge , webcam works.


    Only issue is that the volume up button doesn't work really well. You have to press really hard to get it to work, but all the other buttons you just barely have to touch.. But I'm not sending it back over that.

    wow i really don't know if i could be any more frustrated right now. The order status says that the EDD by DHL is tomorrow. a recording at DHL said that they have picked up the package. Then i talked to a DHL rep just to make sure and she said that they don't even have the package so this is pretty ridiculous

    just ordered on the 23rd, ESD is the 21 of August =/
    i did order the 9 cell battery not realizing that there was such a long delay...
    any chance of it coming early? kinda need it b4 i head off to college.
    is it possible to change the shipping address before they ship it? i might just ship it to my uni.

    I ordered mine on the 15th and it went into the build stage the next day. It still hasn't changed, I'm getting pretty sick of hearing "This order is in production and is currently in the BUILD stage." :mad:

    How long does this usually take? My estimated ship date is the 31st and I have a friend who got his about a week before the estimated SHIP date so I'm wondering what the hold up is here. :confused:

    specs:

    Tuxedo Black
    Core 2 Duo T9300 2.5 Ghz
    4GB DDR2
    8600M GT
    1920x1200 display
    64GB SSD :D
