Estimated Delivery Date?

Floyd Mayweather · 08-08-2007, 10:41 PM

OK, so I ordered a Dell Inspiron 1720 on July 31. The "estimated delivery date" was August 20. I just found out today that it had been shipped yesterday (Aug 7) which i'm obviously very happy about.

My question is, does the estimated delivery date mean the day it is BEGINNING to be shipped, or the day that it is supposed to arrive?

i ordered 8/1 with estimated delivery of 8/16 it shipped 8/6 with estimated delivery of 8/8 (today) it didnt come so i guess estimated is the key word here :twitcy:

I ordered my 1721 on 8/6, and it says my scheduled ship date is 8/20, and as of today, I'm in build status. I'll post an update when it hits ship status.

Estimated Delivery Date...hmm I'm not sure

lol no but really, it's when it's supposed to arrive. You should get yours soon!

Hopefully. I'm not too worried, it's apparent that Jet Black is shipping pretty quickly, and I've got my desktop still, so I'm good.

Ordered July 24th estimated ship August 16th. But the CushTop came on July 26th

I've heard a lot of people talking about different stages their computer passes through, Pre-production, Building, Boxing, Shipped.

When I check my one account all it says is "in production" but not specifically where. Are the Building and Boxing stages after the In Production stage? If not how do I know which specific part of production stage i'm in?

You can find out about the different stages by calling the order status number.

You ordered on 7/31 and it's already shipped? /picking jaw up off the floor/

What are your specs? What color did you order and did you get the integrated webcam? Geez, I ordered on 7/18 and have been stuck in build stage ever since. My ESD is now 8/28.

I'm jealous that you're getting yours so quickly, but at least someone's having some luck.
