3790 shipping? - Page 3

i ordered mine from xoticpc.com on the 28th and it shipped last week...

~Fizz

... Okay this is so annoying! It's almost like walking in a totally dark corridor! What's going on?! Anyone got updates on DL shipping the 3790? Are they receiving the units from Sager? WHEN?!

Moerl, Shotgun-x, Schmohey.... U guys make sure to post LOTS of things/reviews to make my wait easier k?

Hey.. I really feel for you man. I'm going to write DL another email asking about the shipment right now. I'm really losing my patience, and although I know it's the typhoon's fault, I do wish DL would inform me about the status.

You can see my last email conversation with DL just a couple of posts above this one, and he said he's gonna ask his rep Monday and tell me what's up. Well, it's 2:18PM right now and I still don't have an update on that. Of course the people at DL have tons of work right now and I'm sure they're trying hard to satisfy all of their customers at once.. but if he says he'll tell me Monday, I would expect to have received the answer by now. Maybe I'm just being a whore because I'm seriously running out of patience.. been waiting for my lappy since August 24th, I'm in my second week of school already, note-taking is a pain, plus everything around the university is based on the internet.. course information, powerpoint slides from lectures are up on the course websites, club information, schedules, the main way of communication here is by email, in fact the teachers strongly discourage students to use the phone, which I don't like to do in the first place, yaddayaddayadda... I'm not blaming DL or Sager for anything, but I certainly would appreciate more updates. I haven't heard from DL in over a week, even though by now the Sager shipment must have arrived and they must be working on shipping the lappies out. I would have expected updates on all these events from DL .

I'll write them right now and see what's up and post the breaking news right here in this thread. I'm so sick and tired of having to use my room mate's laptops all the time... for one, I can't use my IMAP email the way I want to, instead I have to entirely depend on GMAIL for all my email business, which is a huge pain because of the lack of more sophisticated features like draft-saving, more efficient message archiving, the ability to have messages at my fingertips rather than having to navigate to GMail's website and log in every time... and so on and so on.
Just about 2 hours ago I was writing an email to one of my professors, quite excitedly, and installed the SPELLBOUND extension for FireFox, which, like all other extensions, requires you to restart the browser in order to function, and I killed the email I was working on. I actually installed the extension because I wanted to use it to check my email for spelling errors and look up some words, and ended up sending the email to hell instead of to the teacher. Of course, it was my own dumb fault, but the point is that it wouldn't have happened had I used an email client

Argh.. you can tell I'm frustrated. Plus, it's so hot and humid outside that I'm dying everytime I head out to class.. instead of staying and talking to the incredible amounts of hot chicks out there, I always feel the urge to rush to the dorm immediately after class simply because I feel disgustingly sticky, sweaty, uncomfortable in the high and humid temperatures.

This post really needs to end. Out.

Here is the email I just sent them:

"Hey there Matt,

I don't want to be annoying, but I'm really not feeling very comfortable being left without any updates on the shipping situation, when my shipping status at the DL website actually changed for me this past Thursday or Friday. It still says shipping date 9/10 on there, and while I understand that this date is very likely to be incorrect, I am still left wondering as to what is really going on with my shipping status now. To put it bluntly, what good is an order status page on the DL website, accessible with my customer login and password, if the "order status" is telling me absolutely nothing about the real... well, order status?
I understand that you guys are probably working at the peak of your capacity right now to get all the long standing and long waiting orders shipped out and I know that you told me that you'd get back to me on the issue today, but I couldn't bare waiting anymore, and decided to place another inquiry on the matter.
I don't aim to upset you with too many questions, but you certainly understand that the tension among us customers is about as intense as at Sager or DL.
Thanks a lot for your understanding in advance.

Sorry to bother you again,

Sincerely,


Ismar Iljazovic"

Awaiting reply . . .
In case of an update, regardless of the level of its significance, you will be the first to hear about it right here.

Ordered on the 20th from pct; found out today it shipped on friday!

After everything I've said, I'm still deeply impressed with the service. Just look at the speed at which these guys process customer inquiries and reply to emails! I've never been more impressed with a store.
I mean, I know how a store can make me a happy customer, I guess every customer knows that, but in most cases, the store doesn't know all too well. Knowing that very thing is the secret behind any businesses' success. Stores like PCT, DL, PN are to be praised to heaven for having not only found what makes customers happy, but for putting customer service and customer satisfaction above everything else in their business. Hats off. Kudos to them. Applause.. they deserve it all.

In exactly 18 minutes, I received this response. I am deeply satisfied, and I couldn't be more happy about hearing that my lappy is SHIPPING TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG!!!

got my tracking number from luke today

turns out it was shipped on friday as well....but its gonna take until next friday for it to get here?????

I realize i chose ground but i figured they'd keep it moving over the weekend, not just on business days.

You must be new to shipping procedures . FedEx and UPS don't work on weekends :/

Then how come I've had stuff shipped on Friday (ground) and show up on Monday? Is it magically teleported from California to Colorado over the weekend? But not by Fed-Ex or UPS employees obviously cause they don't work weekends.

Jovox, more likely that it was "scanned" on Friday still sitting at Sager. Probably didn't make it onto a UPS truck.

Moerl, you should try shipping something UPS online sometime. It will teach you a few things about the tracking system, such as just because you have a tracking # doesn't mean the package is actually moving or has even been picked up. And yes they do work weekends.

i have a habit of frequently tracking when i'm expecting something, and i don't think i have ever seen a UPS package move over the weekend.

Here's mine Moerl. My package "shipped" Friday, but not really. I have a tracking # though. Guess it gets those pesky "did it ship yet? did it ship yet?" customers off their back.

Idioth, I'm thinking of Newegg Fed-Ex saver shipments that I've ordered on Friday and received on Monday.

Ok. Let's clarify. In that case we can say that they DON'T DELIVER on weekends, but do move stuff around. I am aware of the fact that having a tracking number means about as much that the package is moving or has even left its point of origin as it means that you get laid a lot simply because you like to buy condoms.
I hope my lappy reaches my by Wednesday if it shipped today

Oh I know, I know. Same here! I got my tracking number last Friday and the ship date even said it was last Friday on the DL site. However, the real ship date is today, so all of that is wrong, and from Friday to tomorrow the tracking number I got will have been useless

Hopefully, that's when mine is scheduled to arrive.

p.s. They both have Saturday delivery option for overnight, it'll cost you though

I assume the Saturday delivery mention was there because I said earlier that they don't work on weekends?
Because it's Monday now, and I expect my package this Wednesday, so Saturday isn't playing a role in my case lol. I really do hope that it gets here as promised.. in 2 days.

Grrrr......
