Complain to Dell. You may get a rebate, or some goodies thrown in.

I think "Ground" in UPS means something different.
I had 2nd day but the UPS said "ground".....but I still got it 2nd day.
I looked it up at UPS and can't remember specifics...but something like "Ground" means it'll be delivered on a certain date...
Might try surfing the UPS site for more info...

Protean · 03-17-2005, 07:10 AM

I did, It says Service Type: GROUND
Scheduled Delivery: Mar 18, 2005

It shipped yesterday around 5pm. I should of received it today if it was placed for Next day.

dajoleo · 03-17-2005, 07:13 AM

D'oh! I'd call Dell and moan till they gave me a freebie or something...
How's the tracking look? Any updates to tell you how close it is?

I live in Raleigh too, I hate it when things sit in Greensboro all day! I haven't had a laptop do that =P, but I have had other stuff. One time I had my cell phone stuck in Memphis, TN for 3 days because of snow. I really hope that doesn't happen to my lappy

(which is Boxing Stage right now).

Protean · 03-17-2005, 07:29 AM

Well at least im getting tomorrow, I should of received it on the 24 ,but still I was going to my friends house today and chill until Sunday. Man this sucks, I'm still going to my friends house, Ill probably see my Laptop on sunday.

. Its so dam painful waiting for a laptop, it feels like you heart has to work harder and you heart gets slower, until you get your laptop it will beat faster and get back to normal ahahha lol .

Protean · 03-17-2005, 07:55 AM

sonicwind · 03-17-2005, 11:09 AM

I ordered ground when I ordered. But when I called up to ask about order status, the Delf offered me a free upgrade to next day. But when it shipped UPS displayed it as ground. However it got there in 1 day. It was shipped from Nashville to Hammond, LA. (not too far from New Oleans).

That may not be true, though. It won't get scanned again till it reaches it's next point...although, I gotta say it's not looking good for today....

Protean · 03-17-2005, 11:22 AM
