    You know when you've waited for something for so long, and you hear it's coming really soon, it seems unreal?

    Well, I received a voicemail today to tell me my order is being delivered tomorrow. 12-5.

    WTF?! WOOO!

    Technically, they're somewhat more than a month early (since they have changed my delivery date so far back...like over 3 months!!!)

    I know it's already an old pc but wth it's free.

    I moved from home since ordering it, so I'm travelling back tomorrow to wait for it (gonna miss my lectures). What's the likelyhood that it will actually arrive tomorrow? No one's gonna be home cos both my rents work and Dell don't leave packages with neighbours.

    Well, if it is with DHL, I don't want to pop your bubble but DHL sucks :).

    My 1520 was supposedly to be delivered 3 days before it actually arrived.
    The website kept saying that it was on the truck, kept calling them and NO!

    But hey good luck. Give DHL a call and ask what they can do for you.

    DHL delivered mine 2 days early...DHL may suck for you but they're the best in my book.

    I think DHL is good for certain areas. UPS restricts how soon they deliver standard ground packages. DHL even with regular ground you could have delivery the next day if the package gets there soon enough.

    On the other hand their tracking system is pathetic.

    DHL shipped a mouse to a place that was 1/4 mile from our house that didnt even resemble our address , nothing was the same. And to kick it all in the butt , we got their package. Way to go DHL , they must be run by dell.
