M17x Order Status Discussion - Part 4

[unixfool]

When did you place your order?

I don't want to be the bearer of bad news, but when it comes with Dell, no news doesn't typically mean good news. If you don't contact them and see what is going on with your machine, chances are you wont hear any news. People have just sat back and watched as their EDD change without any notice.

I ordered thru AAFES on the 18th, and AAFES pushed to Dell on the 19th. When I first checked the order, it showed the EDD as the 15th...it hasn't changed since. I've been checking it daily and nothing has changed, so I'm not worrying about what hasn't changed...I'm worrying about if they'll change it in the next few days (they better not). So, I'll be waiting just shy of a month, per the EDD.

It might end up getting pushed back a week, but that all depends on when they'll get more cards in. I know when I was calling last week, I kept getting told that they are expecting more in by the 15th. My bet is that they are getting a shipment in every week. If it is true, then there is a good chance you'll get your system on time.

Well finally got my bad news in email. My new EDD is now 3/28 almost a full month push. Going to call them today and see if switching configs away from the 580 will speed anything up. And they better sweeten the deal too if they want to keep my order.

Will post more as I hear more but bad news for any that ordered after me.

Damn Dude that sucks, mine is supposed to be 3/8 and it will not be shipping out tomorrow.

That does suck. Seems they had a ton of orders between us. I was pretty sure you would be at the most a week after me.

When did you place your order?

Placed my order on 2/15. I am 99% certain after I have lunch today I will be canceling this order and exploring other notebooks. My original EDD was 2/28.

Think I have had enough of this. Maybe I'll change my mind after lunch.

Maybe Ill get an IPAD HD and play angry birds day in and day out.

I ordered mine on 2/23 & EDD was 3/8 and then I got bad news today its been push back to 3/20 EDD I tryed to cancel but dell said it was to late and the m17x was being preped for shipping boy this SUUUUCCCCKKKKSSSS!!!!

[Stryder05]

I just got an email from the Dell Order Verification Team asking for my home address and work address even though I'm already past the Order Processing stage and into Pre-Production? Anyone else had this issue?

I asked someone on the live chat and he just advised to send my home address and details which I have done although I don't see why I have to give them my work address when I paid for the laptop outright and didn't use any finance?!

I'm hoping this doesnt delay my order

Edit: The order has actually gone into In-Production now?!

I'm lost.

If the new EDD is 3/20, how/why are they prepping it for shipping now? If it's delayed because of the 580M, why are they prepping for shipping?

And, IMO, if the product hasn't been shipped yet, I'm almost positive you can cancel. They might tell you 'no', but that just means you aren't being loud enough, IMO. And that's one of the reasons why using a CC for such purchases is a good thing. If they won't budge, dispute the charge (if you used a CC...you can't dispute a charge if you used a debit card).

I used a debit card and I order one with the 6990m I think the rep is telling a lie about being preped for shipping. thinking about going to the bank and stopping the payment?
