This is why I have rarely ordered any peripheral devices from them because you never know when you're gonna get the thing as opposed to Newegg, for instance.

Not if it's going to be blind/drop shipped which this probably will be.

Package arrived in good condition today. DHL apparently doesn't like to knock on doors tho. Around 11AM i refreshed the tracking page and saw that it had been delivered. Opened my door, lo and behold! I think that since it did arrive substantially sooner than the retards at Dell stated, that I will let this one go on by, not worth any more hassle. The n52 is 'teh Uber' so all in all, not a bad deal.

Am I the only one that thinks you overreacted big time? You ordered on a Friday, correct? Guess what, even if it ships out on that Friday(which in many online retailers is a rarity unless you pay for rush shipping, ie Newegg), you are going to get it by minimum Tuesday.

Seeing as you didn't specify the time you ordered, and especially if it was late during the day, the product from 99% of companies would get shipped out its earliest on Monday(next business day). 2 day shipping means you get it Wednesday if it ships out Monday, which you did. So how in any way does Dell suck on this one? I think you simply do not understand the processing time associated with online ordering, or have had little or no experience in online ordering.

Personally, I think you were just a whiny little b!tch in this case.
