Dell Shipping

[imported_LoKe]

Post your shipping experiences with Dell. ^^;

They told me 8-10 business days, should have it on or before October 9th.

They've always shipped to me much earlier than their estimate. With my last computer order, they shipped 2 days after I ordered even though I was quoted a 2-3 week turn around time.

Early....

I ordered my laptop and they said shipping date is June 1st. I got mine on June 1st.

GeForce 7800GT. Ordered on Aug 12th or 13th? whenever it came out, got delayed like a b!tch till Aug 26th (ship date), meaning I wouldnt get it till maybe Sept? I got it on Aug 25th (my bday). Oh what a wonderful surprise for me when I went home that day.

When did you order, and what did you order? =)

 

[wetcat007]

I ordered a laptop and got it in 5 days with their ground shipping option. They listed 14 days to get it.

 

[Spacehead]

I've ordered 2 from them, the last one being about a year ago. Both came in about 4-5 days.

One had a HD fail shortly after buying and i had the replacement about 2-3 days after talking to them on the phone.

 

[nsafreak]

Vast majority of the time I get it way earlier than they project.

 

[imported_LoKe]

Called to upgrade my monitor, they quoted 2-3 days until it's here.

 

[aceO07]

Earlier than their estimate.

Yessir. But I kind of wish I didn't know when it would show up, because now the next 2-3 days will take forever, and that's especially bad since I work the next 3-4 days. :laugh:

However, it saves me the disappointment I feel when I get home from work and there's no computer.

 

[Homerboy]

always early. countless PCs at work
Dell rocks

 

[Epic Fail]

Another vote for early, the estimate is useless or dell is trying to make you feel better about them by shipping earlier than quoted.

 

[jspeicher]

this is a basic business strategy, give your customers a later completion/delivery date than is necessary to follow through on. Then get it to them "early", customer thinks the world of you.

experienced all three with about equal occurrence of each; but i've also had expected delivery dates that were all over the place, too.

I ordered my brand new E521 on Sept 15th, and they havent even built it yet. Of course they quoted me a ship date of Oct 2nd, but I was hoping to get it sooner.

Ordered the same one on the 20th. They quoted the 9th of October, but over the phone they said 2-3 more days. It's been in "production" since Thursday/Friday.

 

[Garet Jax]

early or on time, but never ordered a full computer.

 

[imported_LoKe]

I'm debating whether or not to call them and ask them to add a second 1907FP to my order. Hrmmmm! DILEMMA!

 

[imported_LoKe]

Damn, damn, damn, damn, DAMN!!

My mom was the one who was making the calls for me because of that financing business. Well, I asked her to call again this morning to change my monitor to a 1907FP for an extra $50. She told me that they quoted her an arrival date of "2-3 days", but when I asked he again, she said he might have meant that it would take 3 extra days, because they have to change the contract.
