Current Statue of XPS m1530

*Current Status of XPS m1530* sorry


I ordered my xps on May 25th with a ESD of June 13th. Still in the build stage as of current on June 10th so I assume I will be getting a delay...

From some of the rare horror stories I read on these forums I can forget it took to long if I can get a perfect laptop haha.

What's the status of you guys with a similar order date and ESD and does anyone know about how long the delays usually have been recently?

 

I ordered mine on 5/26 with an ESD of 6/13, and I'm still in build, too.
Do you really think that means we'll get delayed, mrboyd?

 

specs?....

 

Tuxedo Black XPS m1530
T8300 2.4GHz
4GB DDR2 RAM
250GB 5400 RPM HDD
1440x900 LED LCD
8600GT 256MB
6 cell battery
I'm okay with a delay I guess, but I really want it to be delivered before I go to orientation on the 24th.

 

Stats below, ordered on the 22nd, initial ESD of yesterday, at 2:00 or so got the email saying a one week delay. So 5/22 order, 6/16 ship (hopefully).

 

Ordered the 10th of May, said it was gonna ship today. Got a delay today, saying it will ship the 17th of June, but the automated status order line says it will ship the 24th of june. Seriously 1 and a half months for a computer to build and be shipped is ridiculous, I'm now going to cancel my order and take my business to a company that's a bit more serious.

 

Holy crap, yeah. Screw that!

 

Yea I'm afraid we will be getting delayed..... Still says build... Although I have heard of a couple people getting delayed about a week ago and theres shipped a couple days after even though there new esd delay said it would ship like a week after. I really really hope this is going to be the case.

Also if anybody does get delayed be sure to call and get the free upgrade to next day shipping. I hear they will do this.

Specs:

6cell bat

 

You don't even have to wait until you are delayed to get the free shipping upgrade. I called after two weeks and got free next day shipping and a $50 credit.

I ended up waiting 5 weeks. My replacement system came in less than one week after the order was put in.

 

I've read that the delays are due to a shortage of the 6 cell batteries. You might call and see if they'll upgrade you to the 9-cell battery for free and ship it sooner

 

I tried this several times. I was told in order to modify an order, you must cancel your first order.

Right now they have a promotion going, where the 9 cell is the same price as the 6 cell.

I am sure when they don't have the promo going on, you can get a 9 cell if you complain about the delay...but again, you must cancel your order and re-order, which would probably take the same, if not more, time.

 

yea I think I'd get my laptop sooner if I just wait it out instead of canceling for 9-cell. Uhggg Dell just can't fathom the extent of my pain! hah...

I hope my laptop just missed the scans for testing and boxing and goes from build straight to shipping. lol it's a long shot but possible.

 

What number did you call????

 

ordered on may 10th and recived delayed mail today... delayed to 16/6
is it worth calling them or just mailing will do?
