Finally, after six weeks of agonizing impatience, my order shipped!

so did my 9100
(God I am so happy, I will keep repeating this on every forum I visit :P )

yay for us

AV8ing - You ordered an XPS, not a 9100 right? When did you place your order? What were the specs of your system? Where did you get this "confirmation" that it shipped?

Panther04,

It was an XPS. Order status from Dell Canada status web page. 2 tracking #'s from Purolator.

3.4 HT (NOT EE)
60 GB 7200
1400 a/b/g
Bluetooth
Extra battery

I received the extra battery 2 weeks ago (the one that was "holding up the order").

As to when I ordered, that is an odyssey unto itself. Originally ordered Feb 22. They cancelled that and reordered on Feb 23. They messed something up and cancelled that and reordered on Feb 24. For no apparent reason they cancelled and reordered Feb 25. After continuous pestering on my part as to why I couldn't get a status update (no info whatsoever), they realized that the order was inputted incorrectly so that it was stuck in the netherworld. They cancelled that order and reordered on Mar 3. As that went into so-called production on Mar 5, they stated that the secondary battery was holding up the order so they cancelled yet again and reordered under two seperate order #'s. One for the system, one for the battery (I would "get the system much faster this way"). The battery shipped on the Monday, Mar 8, received Mar 12.

It's most likely via ground as my expected arrival is between Mar 29-31. When I was told that for the battery, it arrived on the last day, not the first. It's going to Toronto as well, not B.F. NWT. I was hoping that they would have shipped overnight, but being on its way is progress enough for me.

P.S. Excused the extra bit of banana mash, but I'll do just about anything for a good screen.

Do you think you could provide me your system order number so I can pass that to my contact so he can apply more pressure for me?

You guys beat me to it. My XPS shipped today, too (also ordered from Dell Canada). No tracking #s yet.

Here's for a good screen

Mine too (as I said earlier on another post), no Tracking #'s yet, tho.

Some other stuff

Just keep us posted when you do get your tracking numbers as that seems to be the true marker that a system has shipped!

Glad some of you will get to join in the fun. Finally.

I got mine. It's in transit somewhere in the US. I think bogus mentioned getting his tracking numbers on some other thread too. Looks like all Dell Canada's iXPS orders are arriving in one big happy shipment

Congrats to you guys and happy playing when you get your machines...I wish I were Canadian right now! Mine is still in production...

I just got word that mine is now in the testing stage. This was a USA order placed 2/25 through small business. Much smaller delay than I expected.

So, Dell is completing USA orders, yay! Of course, now I have to pay for it

B.

Yippee! Thats great, bberman! There is an XPS at the end of the tunnel.

Just called Dell, and mine is still building, but yours have made progress, so I hope it means that we'll all be getting ours soon.

Please post when it ships! Whoo-hoo!

mine is still building too, ordered March 1st, 2003

YAHOO!!!! This wonderful news awaited me on the Dell order status page this afternoon:

Package Stage: In Transit
Status: In Transit to Local Carrier

This means I might see it on MONDAY! YIPPEE.... this was a USA order placed 2/14!
