    Did you call? That is seriously wrong for dell to cancel your order like that.

    My laptop has shipped! I was nervous with the post about bsball3310's order being canceled, so I checked my online status, and it said shipped. I confirmed it with the 800 #. No e-mail notification yet or tracking info. The recording said it was in transit to the carrier.

    Ask the CSR for the tracking number. Mine wasn't available so I went onto the online chat and the CSR told me the Carrier and Tracking number for me.

    jak2, who was your carrier? I got a DHL tracking number (11 digits) from the CSR, but I guess it's too soon still because the DHL website doesn't recognize it. How long does that usually take?

    I don't really know, I called this morning to find out my laptop was shipped. It said it was on the way to the carrier, I checked online and the Carrier and the Tracking number were both unavailable. I asked the CSR this afternoon and I checked DHL site with the number she gave me as I was talking to her. You can see my transcript here.

    Noooo! Just had an online chat with CSR, same one as last night's :eek:
    "I have checked the records and see that the display is backordered." The estimate ship date is still Aug 27 on the site and automated order status, I hope it'll come earlier and not delaying it :(

    D: I'm guessing the other parts of my laptop is done...lucky the estimate shipping and delivery date didnt change! And congrats to odin and taso :D
    10:24:03 AM AgentNisha Bhaskaran I further checked and found that the LCD Plastics, Covers and Accessories are currently not available which is causing a delay in the shipping of the order.
    10:24:14 AM Customer Kevin oh...
    10:24:26 AM Agent Nisha Bhaskaran The LCD plastics are part of the display.
    10:24:26 AM Agent Nisha Bhaskaran As soon as the parts are available the order will be shipped.

    SHIPPED!!!!! Freakin Awesome. Mine went from pre-production on the phone this morning to shipped right now. I'm not sure how that happens, I think the phone system was jacked up for my order, but it says shipped now and I got the email. No tracking number or anything yet, but from what you guys are sayin, sounds like that's on it's way too.

    The tracking information is usually on and off.

    Some times it is shown and sometimes it says temporary unavailable.

    Call or chat with Dell. They'll give it to you as soon as the automated system says it's shipped but it won't show up in your online order status until DHL actually has the package since the tracking number is useless until DHL has it.

    Raven 322, I had a 1520, T7300, 2GB, 160GB 7200RPM, 8400M, 1440x900, Black, 6 and 9 cell batts, and I ordered 8/6. My ESD was the 23rd, but I guess it's coming sooner, we'll see. Yours should be shipping soon, probably monday by the rate of things right now. They must have found a hidden parts supply

    The exhaust port on the left side of the 1520 makes for a great hand warmer. There is very little bloatware on my machine (special request) and I don't think I'll even need to reformat. Everyone in production/boxing should try and relax, you'll have yours soon.

    Haha, I wish I could relax, but I'm probably the most impatient person in a 100 mile radius of my house.
