Boxing

post #1 of 16
Thread Starter 
Hi -- new to the forums, and this might be a stupid question:

does the "boxing" phase take 7 days? (i assume that a checkmark next to a phase means that it's done, not that Dell is currently in that phase)

this is my order, and things look a lttle strange:




thanks!

I'm not exactly sure how it works, mine was in the boxing phase about a week before the shipping prep date and I think it was at my house 5 days before the estimated ship date. I looked online at work and it still had the check on testing and I got home that night and there was a UPS notice on my door. The boxing phase was checked 2 days after I received it I checked my email(on my new system)and I got an email saying it had been shipped.

Mine was in boxing since last Thursday. It just went to shipping this morning.

ah, thanks -- seems like the boxing period is a bit of a buffer time; hopefully mine'll ship early like NateL's did..

I ordered mine on the 28th with an expected shipping date of September 6th. Mine is also in the boxing stage...

The boxing stage includes shipment from Malaysia to the USA. That is what takes so long. Once is reaches the US, it has to be shipped again.

that would be a good explanation... I hadn't even thought of that. Still doesn't explain why I got mine so early, but I'm not going to complain. SOme mysteries are better left unsolved.

There is a thread at the top that covers all the questions you have.

Its a long read of course since its its an ongoing thread with people always adding but some good info in there if you sift out the complainers.

Boxxing will take at least two days since shipping it from Malaysia to U.S. is part of it. I think the Europeans get theirs from a Ireland factory. So I hear anyway.

Mine is now "in transit". So it looks like I should get a tracking number real soon

mine was in boxing for 2 days.. though that seems too long to box something, but now it says that it's been shipped although there's no tracking number yet.

Mine is now in the hands of UPS. on the UPS website it says scheduled delivery on the 2nd.. tomorrrow?!

But on Dells it says Delivery Estimate: September 5 - September 7

I think I will go with UPS

Yeah, once UPS has it go by their estimates. The Dell site isnt always up-to-date from what I have experienced.
