    Can anyone give me ideas on delivery times for outlet computers? I know the new "built to your specification" computers have a delay time for build, but why would I have to wait for an outlet computer?

    I ordered one yesterday and it's saying it won't ship til the 13th?

    Should ship b/t today and tomorrow. Dell gives themselves a lot of shipping leeway. My E1505 was supposed to be shipping 11th of NOV and I am getting it today the 7th of NOV. GO FIGURE :)

    That's good news :). Seems like they over compensate a bit much.

    if you want to get the tracking number, contact customer support online and ask them to provide you with the tracking number. They should, that is if your order has infact been shipped

    the outlet usually ships the day you order if you order it early enough,next day if you dont, if you got the standard 3-5 day shipping, it could arrive as late as this coming tuesday, the day it ships counts as day 0, so if it shipped today, next tuesday would be buisiness day 5
