How long did Dell take to build and ship your notebook - Page 3

Yah, me too. Ordered on sunday, come monday it went in to production around noonish and by 3pm, it was in "testing". Tuesday, still in "testing" and here we are on Wednesday and it's still in "testing". This is assuming that the last step with a check mark in front of it means it is still in that phase and not that it was done. Only boxing and shipping are the phases I don't have a check mark in front of. Must be really difficult to box them.....yah.

Or my Conspiracy Theory is, on paper (or web) they zoom to a stage where if you cancel, you have to pay a restocking fee . So like you order your item and 1 hour later, they 'show' on the web site that they have built it....but just waiting on boxing or UPS, when in actuality, they haven't done anything more with your order then check your credit card.

When I ordered my 2405 24"WS LCD, it zoomed to the boxing, waiting on shipping company stage in about 3 hours from my order. Then mysteriously, it took 4 days after that to get a UPS tracking number. I got it in under a week and am happy with the screen, but it always made me wonder if that initial ULTRA FAST response to my order was nothing more then a lie to lock me in to paying them money if I decide to cancel.

Now I order a laptop and once again ULTRA FAST response to get it to a point where I have to pay restocking fee's if I cancel and once again a huge slow down after that point. Which once again makes me wonder if they actually went any farther then checking my credit, even though the site list my laptop as built and tested.

i got mine before they sent tracking info, but you will probably get it afte turky day, sorry

8 days; ordered on sunday, arrived monday of the following week, 1 day earlier than the free shipping indicated. :-)

they didnt send my tv tuner and remote, i had to call them

ya, i got it today, works great!

Sweet, i'm happy. I woke up this morning and had an email from Dell saying that my laptop shipped yesterday Problem is, with 3-5 day shipping, if its delivered on a monday, nobody's gonna be home, and it has to be signed for. I guess i can call them and tell them to hold it and i'll pick it up myself. But either way, i'm glad it's shipped already. This is great. Soon i'll be among the large group of i9300 owners

I ordered lappy on Wednesday (23 Nov), do u think it's possible Dell deliver lappy till Friday 2 Dec. Estimated shipping date is 6 Dec.

It's certainly possible, but because you ordered the day before a holiday, there's no telling. If you don't get it by friday next week, you'll probably get it the week after next, but then again, it also depends on where you live. I found out through the tracking that my laptop shipped from Nashville, TN. I live right outside of Memphis, TN (approximately 200 miles away lol). So it was in Memphis the same day it shipped. I would've gotten it yesterday but UPS was closed

I ordered mine on Thanksgiving. I hope that doesn't affect the shipping time.

I ordered a 700m on Wednesday afternoon. It's been sitting in "Boxing" since Wednesday night, with an estimated ship date of 12/12....

I ordered my i9300 on Thursday evening local time, took 4 days for the order to be processed, tested, packed and sent half way around the world, checked at customs, arrive at the factory and sent to the local postage service

I hope I get it tommorrow, but for some reason I think they may let it sit there for a week or so as my "expected" arrival date on dells site says 6th December.

for me, when it got to the shipper, it only took one day, i didnt even get a tracking # because it was so dam fast. laptops are fast, most of the time.. good luck

mosh, is your i9300 new or refurbished??? I don't get this "Ex-Factory Order" listing??? Does it mean a returned item???

i dont know what it means, but i got mine new

I ordered wednesday and since wednesday evening it has said "Boxing" is the stage its on. Wonder if I will get it this week since it said estimated ship date is the 6th?

It better be new, I ordered it as NEW.

Although I looked it up and "ex-" means:

I dont know if it has the same meaning here though... EX also means
