    My status changed to shipped this morning at 10am, but I haven't been provided a tracking number to follow the package. I would usually expect this, even doubly so because the Dell Rep I spoke to yesterday said she'd provide me with one as soon as it shipped.

    Could it be because I'm shipping "Canada standard" or do you think something's up?

    My guess is that the delivery company has yet to have the tracking number propagate throughout their own system, and Dell's system won't get it until it updates sometime later on in the day. Rest assured, you will get the tracking number within 24 hours since it shipped.

    Most of the time you will get your laptop before Dells site even gives you a tracking number

    Called the order line, they said it's enroute to the carrier and that I'll get tracking info once it gets there. They also said it was shipped on June 1998...

    I've been told that number is for US orders only, and I'm in Canada. It's not the incorrect product number, I confirmed it like three times :D
