    Purolator still says my Vostro 1000 is still "In Transit USA", but purolator says it would cross the border tomorrow or very late tonight. I live in Calgary, and it's coming through calgary, so delivery would be day after arrival in canada.

    Do you have to pick them up from the post office or do they deliver to your door?

    Dhaemon From when yours was shipped to when you found out it was in Ontario how many days was it. (I live in Ontario)

    We ordered 2 Vostro 400 and an XPS M1530 last week.

    Vostro order was placed on the 10th, and they arrived this morning (!). Total time - 4 days, including a whole weekend.

    M1530 was placed on the 11th. Dell's ETA is Apr. 21st. But over the weekend I got 2 emails from Dell. One said that it had completed the production phase and while the other told me that it had been prepped for shipping. The last email I got this morning stated that it's already on its way and I could check the status from purolator's website (which basically told me to call them :S). So if everything goes well, I should have my laptop tomorrow morning, which is also 4 days counting from the order date.

    I'm very impressed...
