    Not weird, not great, just normal . They usually give you the worst possible date . About one week after order date is average.

    I just ordered a dell inspiron 6000 on June 13th. It said the Ship date was June 22nd (This was my first time ordering from Dell and I was a little disappointed, because I thought it would be here sooner).

    However, on July 16th I got a message that it shipped out and it should arrive on June 22nd. So, I was happy, again :D.

    Maybe their 'Estimated Ship Date' is the date that they estimate it will be at your door. Who knows....Although, what was even more wierd is that I also ordered a carrying case for my laptop on the same order as the laptop and the case didn't ship out until 2 days after the laptop did. It said it was "in production" 2 days longer then the laptop was. LOL, maybe they custom made my carrying case.
