M17x Order Status Discussion - Part 4

[bigtonyman]

First, grats for your new acquisition!!! Hope you enjoy it mate!

Although my question is... do anybody knows if dell/alienware got any priority system?!... I ordered pretty much the same laptop on dec. 29th too and they told me I should get it around jan. 16th... I ordered in Canada... I know transit time will probably be a little bit longer (Let's say couple of days) but I assume the ''production'' process should be done by now.

depends on the demand for the system. My machine took three weeks to get here from my order date with Next Best Day shipping all the way here to alaska. It took so long due to high demand for the m17x back in apirl. perhaps the demand for the system is high again, or they are waiting for a parts shipment.

I understand the supply and demand concept... but what shoots me is the fact that we all ordered the same thing the same day but haven't been told the same thing EDD wise... like we said... we live in North America so China to here is prolly gonna take longer... but from the starting point, they should leave at somehow roughly the same time...unless dec. 29th is been a freaking busy day for them... maybe they stack up priority (orders) by countrys no matter what has been order that day for this country...

Diffrent time zones at 3 diffrent locations. 10 am in UK is more or less 3 am in us, but 8 pm in china. US 29th day time is 30th in China already?
Correct me if im wrong

[Magana]

You're right buddy! Didn't think about that one... but few hours setting us a week apart... (Eu/NA) that's another thing... I wonder if somebody that ordered dec. 28th from North America would be close to getting it. (Keeping shipping out of the equation). Are their facilities 24/7?! I know no need to tell me...I just wait and see... but I want my toy nooowwww!!! Lol

[KU8A]

You and me both

guys, it takes about 8-9 days for delivery from the order for NA (usually), EU orders take a little bit longer as we have seen many occasions..

You're probably right... I just chatted with a guy from dell website and he said that it shipped from warehouse (US) yesterday and that I should receive it within the next 3 business days... as for the EU part, that is funny since the thing is nearer from them... logistic is sometime funny though...

If I receive it, let's say wednesday, I'll be really impressed...

Ok, wow. Now my order says that it has been "Partially Shipped". What does that mean? I'm excited yet confused at the same time!

did you get any peripherals with the laptop? I believe they ship those first and then when the laptop is done they ship it as far as I understand.
