in production?

i checked the status for my i9300 laptop and it says its still in production -.-'
its been in production for almost 4-5 days. none of the bottom words are in blue (such as building...) does that mean they are in back order or something?

 

My 6000 was like that, don't worry. It kitted for about 3 days before moving on.

 

yeah it does take awhile, especially if you have parts that they are low on. If it hasn't moved by Tues or Wed of next week, I would call and see what is going on.
SG

 

The same thing is happening to my i9300. I ordered it on the same day that you did. So far, nothing has changed in regards to the status. I was expecting the estimated shipping date to become sooner after all the things I've read about Dell's shipping. I guess I can only wait to see what happens.

 

after about 4-5 days their shipping and delivery will change...i ordered from UPS...and there was a tracking number i could use...and that was helpful..because it said that it was at the next town over at like 12:20 am

 

I ordered a 9300 on the 26th, and on the website it still says "in production."
On the phone, I'm told it's in the build stage. But the build stage is grayed out on the web page.
And the same digital chick telling me it's in the build stage is "Julie", the virtual travel advisor at Amtrak. So do you really think I am going to get an accurate schedule of where my laptop is??? LOL

 

I just called Dell and it also said that my laptop is in the build mode of production.

 

from my experience and from what i've heard, the phone is more accurate than the website. You would think that the web would be.

 

oh man i called dell and checked my order status, it the same. i'm also in the building stage. thx you guys. shoot that makes me a feel a lot better. man i swear stupid dell, i mean their comps are a great deal, but man! lol for a good corp. their website sure does scare people haha :dell:

 

I guess they may be backlogged due to the 40% and EPP coupons??? The last two computers over the last three years (desktops) took only three days max to be delivered. Hmmmmmmmm.....

 

My I9300 shipping date is Aug 9, 05. I checked today and it's in boxing.

 

damn my computer is still in the build phase when i call them. stupid dell. i think im going to report this

 

lol...don't worry..that date will change within 4-5 days and u will love that new ship and delivery date...just relax and don't worry

 

Some of your part maybe on backorder.
Here's my specs
I9300, 1.6ghz, 17in wuxga truelife, 256MB (bought 1GB from Crucial), 256mb 6800, 80GB hd, CDRW/DVD
Wireless B/G w/bluetooth card

 

yea this computer waiting thing is driving me nuts haha.

 

lol..when did u order it??

 

You think waiting on one to built is bad? Ha! I ordered a refurb Thursday morning, UPS has had the shipping info/tracking number since Friday, and it's still sitting in Dell's warehouse, apparently! UPS tracking info still shows no pick up. Arggghh!!!

 

why don't u call and complain??

 

7/26 is the date

 

I emailed Customer Service. They're giving me free 256 MB USB key, and my system is scheduled for delivery today. I don't know why the Dell and UPS tracking systems aren't showing any info tho--it doesn't do any good if it doesn't show when it's out for delivery 'cuz I have to be here to sign for it!

 

haha yea. i called dell and they gave me a free carrying case or something like that. lol my shopping is done. haha.

 

u could be getting it today...since it usually arrives within 1 week of the order ...mine did..and a lot of other people's did 2

 

eek yeah, i hope mine gets here, it's not showing anything either... and if things get delayed then things could get dirty... I'm leaving the country for a year on august 18th, also the latest possible day it is scheduled to arrive. maybe i'll call for info...


and speak of the devil, the status page change... they removed all the specifics and simplified it to

(check) Order Processing: Saturday, July 30, 2005
Order Sent to Warehouse:
Estimated Ship Date: Thursday, August 11, 2005

well that sucks...

 

I never heard of Sent to Warehouse in the order status. Just InProduction (Kitting, build, testing and boxing), Shipping Prep and Estimated Ship date.

 

Yesh, well this morning it was back to normal but I called anyway and apparently it is in the build phase which makes me feel better

 

Wow, this is wierd. I ordered an XPS on the 28th, and I am having the same issue. It's been in the "in production" phase ever since!! And they didn't even reply back to my email!!! So far, the estimated ship date is the 9th, but at this rate, I don't even see that happening!!! Really now, with how quick things change in the computer world, the month it is taking to ship it can pretty much mean the difference of a top of the line computer, or a mid-range one!! Ok, maybe I exaggerated a LITTLE, but you get the idea.

Grrrrr

 

My I9300 has been stuck on boxing for 3 days already. I mean how long does Dell need to box the laptop? I'm sure in doesn't take over 3 days. I wish Dell would just ship my laptop already.

 

My 9300 was in Boxing for three days too, but now its been SHIPPED! from Nashville. It says it is scheduled to be delivered to me tomorrow by 3pm.

woohoo!

 

Boxing 3 days really means your laptop is being shipped from Malaysia or wherever they built Dell laptops (they don't build them in US). When it says shipped, it means it is here in US and ready to ship to you via UPS or FedEx.

I am waiting for mine too. I ordered it on 7/31 and still no status other than In Production. I called yesterday and complained so they gave me overnight shipping free of charge which is nice. My schedule ship date is the 11th so hopefully it will ship soon.

 

i ordered mine on the 28th, and i think on 8/2 it just jumped to boxing... but the estimated ship date is still 8/10... i dont think its ganna take 6 more days to ship it to the USA... cant complain much... its pretty on time lol

 

yea i just checked mine today and it went to boxing. i think they finally got in the order parts. lol we all ordered the same time. i used the 40% + 35 dollars. what about you people?

 

Well, I just went off the military site. But I've got a 100gb hard drive, bluetooth, and DVD burner. $1,635 shipped. Not to shabby!!

But I got a response back for my email. They are giving me free next day shipping, and since it came with a free printer, they are upgrading it to the 922 printer. I don't have a scanner, so works for me I guess!! Now if only I could get past the "build" stage

 

grrr i wish mine is delayed so i can get me some free stuff lol... i check everyday... it never stoped at kitting, building, testing... jumps right to boxing... they better not ship me an empty box lol

 

Mine finally went to "Testing". That means it is another 3 days for boxing and it will be here. Can't wait. I had the 9300 with 128 video card but decided to get the 256 instead. I hope it is worth it.

 

Today is the 4th day my I9300 is still on Boxing mode.

 

shootingstar: I placed my order for my 6000 on the 30th. On the fourth day of the "in production stage" (3rd day on boxing) I received my new shipping date/tracking # from ups. At first UPS gave a late delivery date, but it seems Dell upgraded the shipping as it says "rescheduled" delivery on UPS and I will be receiving it 3 days earlier. So now the delivery date on the UPS website is the 8th. Tonight you would most likely recieve your information, if its been the 4th day on boxing..at least from what ive heard and my own experiences.

 

haha everybody ordered about the same time so they are all probably going to get it the same time. boxing like everyone said will most likely take 3-4 days and then the shipping 3-5 days. hopefully dell upgraded the shipping so we get them earlier

 

I was hoping the boxing would change to shipped, but still stuck in boxing mode after the end of day 4. I gave Dell a call and they told me my 3-5 days ground shipping was now Next Day shipping.

 

I ordered my i9300 from dell.ca on the 26th and it's still 'in production'

I feel as though we're all in the same boat... except I didn't get a 40% off cupon

 

Well, at least you guys have all moved out of "build"!!! Really now, I have been in production, and haven't made it past build since the 28th!! That's 9 days now!! I think I am gonna go over there and get the stupid thing myself!!!

 

oh thats good. i think i am in the same situation as you. they better upgrade our next day shipping. it's almost 2-3 weeks since i ordered. god they are slow. and least keep us posted on whats happening.

yea it took me forever to get out of the build phase. i hope its faster for you. good luck

 

Thanks, looks like I may need it!!!

 

I just checked the location of my laptop and I am soooo excited!! It says that the notebook arrived in my hometown of NY,NY at 6:30 a.m. Does anyone know if UPS delivers on weekends?


I mean the package is so close, probably twenty minutes away from my apartment. The weird thing is that my free printer's status places it in Tennessee. I guess the packages aren't shipped at the same time. I can't wait for my laptop to get here!!

 

i got a shipment Notification this morning, how long would it take to get to my house? im still on the 3-5 day shipping... and how do you check where you package is? mine only says
Status: Billing Information Received

 

um...i believe ups works on saturdays but sundays i am not sure. i heard some people received it on sundays tho, but i cant confirm on different locations.

i think you might still have some time to wait. the billing information received that means they just probably charged for your computer. if you check your credit card or w/e you can probably see that it just has been charged. it'll probably take 2-5 days if you're lucky 2 days.

 

Finally my I9300 shipped out and I got an UPS tracking number from Dell today. I should get it on Tuesday.

 

haha. congrats. i'm still in the boxing phase. i think i'm either 1 or 2 days slower than yours. oh god this waiting is too long

 

Mine's on the way, should be here tomorrow. They turned it over to the shippers on Saturday and its in their system and in transit right now. I got next day shipping free because I called Dell and complained about the slow build/delivery. I ordered on the 26th, almost a 2 week wait, but it's well worth it!

 

Mine shipped last night via. purolator. The tracker picked it up today but wasn't very helpful 'In Transit in US.'

With no expected delivery date or shipping method confirmation I'm worried that I might have to wait another week.

 

Well, mine did the same thing. Went to "in transit" on Saturday, and still no tracking number. I have tomorrow (or today I guess) off, so it would be nice to get it today. I got free next day shipping, but I highly doubt I will be getting it today. I hope if it comes tuesday, I am not at work at the time!!
