    i am currently sitting here xps 1330 less after having waited since the 13th of july, still awsaiting my second ESD of the 31st of august to arrive but i am fairly miffed to say the least.

    despite trying my best i cannot seem to get any sort of comensatation from dell at all via the phone route and unless i am mistaken i cannot chat here in the uk at all.

    i have been promised 'priority' for delivery but that seems to be as useful as a chocolate teapot so i am no stuck.

    they say that i can discuss comps after it has arrived but not before, which is painful to say the least.

    has anyone had any joy with dell in the uk getting a discount or am i just waisting my time?

    is there any way at all to even speak to someone from uk based dell at all or is that a pipe-dream as well?

    cheers

    p.s
    man i am getting frustrated, also concerned i may not make a 31/08 delivery date!!!!

    19 Now Moroni was desirous that the Dellanites come out to deliver his laptop to him, upon the plains; but the Dellanites knowing of Moroni's exceedingly great intolerance of delays and beholding the greatness of his numbers, therefore they durst not come out against Him, therefore they did not come to deliver news of additional delays that day.
    20 And when the night came, Moroni went forth in the darkness of the night, and came upon the top of the wall to spy out in what part of the manufacturing process the Dellanites were with their laptops.
    21 And it came to pass that they were on the east, by the entrance; and they were all asleep, and not building. And now Moroni returned to his home and caused that his armies should prepare in haste strongly worded letters of discontent, to be sent down from the top of the wall into the inner part of the Dell manufacturing plant.
    22 And it came to pass that Moroni caused that his men should march forth and come upon the top of the wall, and let themselves down into that part of the manufacturing plant, yea, even on the west, where the Dellanites did not manufacture.
    23 And it came to pass that they were all let down into the manufacturing plant by night; thus when the morning came they were all within the walls of the manufacturing plant.
    24 And now, when the Dellanites awoke and saw that the armies of Moroni were within the walls, they were affrighted exceedingly, insomuch that they did offer compensation.
