Haha.. I'm anxious, I know...
Ordered my 8600 2 days ago, then when i woke up yesterday and saw they had changed the deal, I cancelled my first order, and added the free dvd burner! Had to pay shipping, but the diff. in price for the whole setup was about 40 bucks! Not bad.. Basically got the dvd burner for 40 bucks!
Anyway it cruised through Production yesterday, but has been stuck on "Boxing" for almost 24 hours! haha.. How long does it take to box the thing?!
Ship it already! That would be to cool though.. Shipped w/in 2 days??
I'm hitting that F5 key every hour or so, but it won't move past Boxing!
Ahhhh!!
How long did it take for you recent 8600 buyers from order to delivery?
Thanks,
kindser

My 8600 was in boxing for 4 days then was in transit and I got the computer before they posted the tracking number

The computer is Assembled in Malaysia.

No Way! That's Crazy! So, basically the status thing is probably a joke?
I didn't know that they assembled them in Malaysia? I thought it was done in the states? So they have to ship them from Malaysia, to Dell U.S. then to the customer?
Boy, Dell has really learned how to cut corners.. Between production and tech support outsourcing, the lack of quality over the last few years is starting to catch up w/ them. My father has an old Dell Laptop that is built like a brick! The quality seemed to be better back then.. (Going back 6 yrs)
His new 4600 feels really cheap... as far as the materials goes..

There have been other posts on the online order status... don't rely on it as many others in this forum would say. You'll probably get it sooner than what you're seeing on the online status. I got mine after 4 business days and that's including MLK (Martin Luther King) day... and it's just the std shipping. Not sure nowadays though.

The HP Pavilion zt3000 I have came all the way from China and it was a longer wait (2 weeks) than Dell's.

Usually all the Small and Large business Ones are shipped faster for obvious reasons (time is money)
