    What are the chances that Dell will ship my laptop early? I leave for a business trip on the 15th and am currently set to receive my laptop a few days after that.

    Is there any way to pay extra to have them expedite the process? (I'm already paying for 1-day shipping)

    call them and tell them your situation. they expedite so many orders very easily. also, i hate to break it to you, but you didnt have to pay for that 1 day shipping. see if you can call them and get credited for it. they give out free 1 day shipping like candy on halloween.

    I ordered on 7/13 with an estimated ship date of 8/2. It shipped on 8/2 so the date was accurate for my purchase.

    I am fairly certain when Dell expediates an order, nothing actually happens that affects the ship date, so good luck with that.
