I am curious Gorias, did your system's status stay in one particular phase for awhile and then all of a sudden move to a much later phase?

Yes, The phases you see in my post are the only phases I was updated on. As you can see I sat in phase 8 for quite some time. I do not know why.

Phase 8 is taking forever

That is exactly where I am stuck. I ordered mine on December 3rd. About every two days I moved up one phase. I have been sitting in phase 8 for 10 days . Kinda funny when I got an automated email from alienware saying I moved into phase 8 when I had been sitting in phase 8 for a week already. I never got notified that I moved to phase 4, 5, 6 or 7. I check my status every day anyway so I don't really need the emails. I wish I knew why my laptop has been sitting in phase 8 for 10 days now. I understand two days of that were christmas eve, christmas and new years day (today). This is agonizing having to wait so long. I only waited 7 days to get either of my Dell laptops. My system was projected to arrive by the 30th. That is already history. Hopefully the 200 point checks will go in one or two days which means I could have it by Friday of next week (Jan 9th)
