    I wouldn't worry so long as you still get it on time.

    It is probably tied up at the border. Once it's through, you should have it in no time.

    I just received my m1530! Amazing machine, finally happy. Don't worry about the shipping updates, mine went from the US to Toronto sort center to the next depot to delivery in 4 hours, they don't always update their system accordingly.

    The 2 M1530 I received so far have followed the exact same delivery pattern. One was shipped on a Friday and the other on Tuesday.

    In Transit in US on pickup day
    Picked up by Porolator on the Monday in Calgary
    Arrive in Vancouver on the Tuesday
    Delivered on the Wednesday

    I suspect Purolator has a weekly transfer to Canada for delivery from Dell. If this is correct you should get your delivery sometime next week.
