Colored Lids Delivery time?

Hi guys.
I am planning on buying an Inspiron 1520 in a couple of days. My choice of color is the Espresso Brown, however I was wondering if at this point that would delay my order? If so, would the Jet Black arrive any quicker?
I plan on ordering it on Next Day Shipping, which is the quickest option, but I wanted to make sure it wouldn't be delayed because of the color. I've read all about the delays between the months of June through September, I am wondering now if that has improved at all, I really wouldn't like to order the notebook say Monday, and have to wait until January for it to arrive..

As to where I reside? I reside in Florida. Thanks in advance.

 

Call one of the DELL sales reps, or DELL customer service reps and ask if there is any lead time for those colours. They will let you know. We dont work at DELL, so we cant tell you anything about their current stock!

 

I was wondering from your own experience, nothing certain. If anyone had bought an Inspiron 1520 any time soon, and had a delay due to color?

In other news, I contacted Dell, and the agent I got didn't answer any of my questions properly, I tried asking in so many different ways, and she just said no information, or that the build time varies by model, that much I knew...

 

call again, and try speaking to a different rep. And the key question to ask is:

"Is there any lead time on the Inspiron 1520 in Espresso Brown?"

That way, there's a simple yes, and how much lead time, or a simple no.

 

i ordered a green 1520 on 11/10 and received it on 11/21 with the free shipping option ... quick service from dell and dhl

 

Just wanted to add that when I called a few days ago, the sales rep started configuring me an inspiron and said the flamingo pink had a 10 day delay [if i remember correctly.]. I ended up getting an XPS though.

Hope that helps, I don't know about any of the other colors.

 

I ordered my 1520 a couple of days ago.. However delivery date is expected to be December 28! I find that too be way too long? Is this normal on the estimates to be this long? will it actually ship those days? that's almost a month in production!

 

I placed an order for a 1520 on 11/28 my ship date is listed as 12/6. HOWEVER, it appears that dell has an 11-day delay for webcams now, so if you configured one of those, that could be why.

I'm just hoping my order doesn't get pushed back that far. A month wait is ridiculous, but hey, that's the holiday season, I suppose?

 

If you look at it, nontheless. Your ship date originally was just about a week and a half, and got pushed to little over two weeks which isn't that bad.. I'm trying to think on why my order is estimated to ship close to four weeks from today. I did order a webcam as well, however even so, then my ship date should be not much longer than yours since we have similar specs, except I did not order Spring Green color, but rather Espresso Brown, and when I checked earlier before making the purchase, there were no delays for that color.

 

I think you'll be suprised, I just contacted an agent, and there is no lead time for the webcams, or any of the parts for our systems. I think you'll be receiving your system any day now.

 

Awesome! Thanks for the follow-up! Hopefully you'll get your system soon too. =D
