    Ordered 2 separate Vostro 1400's on July 13th. (1440x900/webcam/bt)
    One just went into testing and boxing tonight. The other is still in the build stage but it was ordered a couple hours after the other one. Estimated ship date is August 6th.

    According to my call history I've called the order status number over 60 times so far. :O

    Is there a # I can call for Canadian Customers?

    I only track status of my vostro through the webpage they provided me with.

    Spoke to a dell rep. He said that mine will be shipped anytime within the next 2-3 days. Mine is in transition from boxing to shipping stage. So hopefully I should get it early next week.

    Ok, I couldn't resist...
    I'd have to say, that there doesn't seem to be any delay for orders ex Australia. I've ordered a 1500 with a WSXGA+ screen, with Camera, and the order seems to have been built and shipped rather quickly :rolleyes:
    I actually ordered it the evening of the 24th. Details from the track order page

    25-Jul-2007 Order Received
    25-Jul-2007 Order released to manufacturing
    25-Jul-2007 Ship from Factory
    Estimate Delivery Date: 01-Aug-2007

    The estimated delivery date was the 31st July, but seems to have been pushed back a day :-(

    Finally mine is shipped thru DHL ground. I can't find the delivery date in DHL. It should take no more than 2 days from Nashville to Chicago, I guess.

    If I have 2 systems with different ship date, theyll be shipped separately? (about 8 days difference) or 1 system will have to 'wait' for the other?

    I really won't feel bad milking Dell for some freebies now that I am seeing people who ordered after me with the same config are already getting their laptops shipped while mine is still sitting in the build stage.

    It has sat in the build stage since I ordered it on the 14th. This is bull crap.

    My 1400 is in the boxing stage since yesterday. Just my luck. It will ship out tomorrow and I won't get it until Monday...I was hoping to use it this weekend. Oh well....I'll just have to wait and see when it ships.

    ordered my 1500 7/19, currently in build stage, est ship date 8/15. My bro-in-law ordered almost the exact same PC the day before (I got the XGA+ screen, he got the basic screen) and his ship date is 8/10.

    we'll see...

    Mine's still in the build stage too. Ordered on the 16th. If lenovo sends me a shipping notice first on the t61, the dells getting canceled.

    I ordered mine back on the 11th, but it probably won't ship until next week. The expected shipping date is my birthday, isn't that lame? Shouldn't my birthday present arrive earlier than everyone else's, not later? :(

    Well, the estimated shipping date was always my birthday (the 31st). So I don't know if there was a particular reason it had to take this long, but for some reason my 1400 was in the testing stage for over almost 2 days. I just hope it will arrive by the end of next week.

    Set on pre production the same day and now suddenly pre production is 27 (very strange if you ask me, the days between 12 and 27 it was not in pre production in what stage was it then!)

    The estimated arrival date is gone from 1 aug to 24 aug...

    the dell site now lists the XGA+ screen as having a 9 day delay. They must be getting pounded with "where's my vostro?" requests because all over the site is suggestions on how to get your laptop sooner, like ordering a latitude or vostro 1000...
