    My Dell is supposed to come today but I'm just wondering if anyone knows what time of day they usually ship or at least the latest time they come to your house so I know if I can head out and do other things right now or not.



    4/2/2008 8:23 am With delivery courier. Bothell, WA
    8:21 am Arrived at DHL facility. Bothell, WA
    3:17 am Depart Facility Chehalis Regional Hub, WA

    It says Estimated Delivery 4.2.08 and "Bothell" is where I live so its obviously in route to my house right?

    Yes, it will be delivered today but the time depends entirely on where you live. No one can tell you what time of day they usually deliver to your area unless they live near there.

    I would say it probably depends on where you on the couriers route. I've had DHL packages arrive in the morning, and I've had them arrive in the afternoon.

    Thats lame... FedEx Tells you what time it is estimated by. Like when my 9700t came it said "Before 10AM."

    Well thanks people!

    dhl sucks in my opinion

    they didn't even deliver it to our friends door that lives in an apartment in the usa........

    he took off work and waited for them all day, then went to get his mail at 5:30pm at the community boxes and there was a sticky on his mailbox that they had delivered it to the apartment office......... $1500 pc...

    be sure and strongly specify where to deliver it and complain loudly if dhl does differently........

    Depends on the driver and his route. Sometimes they'll drive to the farthest delivery and work down or first address and work up. Companies usually closes at 5pm so sometimes if you're closer to their depot you might actually be the last to receive your package! Ironic.
