Dell Inspiron 1520 order - ESD end of OCTOBER!?

[M3G4]

Hey,

Just placed a phone order on a custom Dell Inspiron 1520. Ordered the jet black lid which seemed to be cheaper than the rest.

Got my order details through and they've checked out fine, but my expected shipping date is 18th of October. Considering the wheels of the order got put into motion today, isn't that a bit of a long time? 5 weeks!

Anyone had this? I thought the stock issues were under control?

ill asj also what specs you got.. but sounds average right now.. i ordered aug 23rd and got a shipping date on sept 7th then the 14th... so abouy 2-3 weeks ... you date does seem a bit long but it may be one of the parts you ordered with it holding it up..

5 weeks is not that long

Get a Vostro 1500 instead. Email the dell rep you got it from and ask him what date the vostro 1500 would be delivered.

Copied directly from the site lol can't cancel the order, just signed a finance deal and paid a deposit with my credit card

You can still cancel -paying a deposit doesn mean anything. Just phone up Dell Customer care and day you want to cancel becuase you were not told about the long delay when ordering.

I ordered a Vostro 1500 yesterday after hearing about all the delays the Inspiron 1520 was having.

Order date: 9/9/07
Now in production: 9/10/07

most likely the 7100 is the hold up, the same vostro will get to you in less than half that time just fyi and be cheaper as well unless you got the inspiron with a coupon

I thought the 7300 was the hold up. Are the 7100s running scarce now too?
