    I need a laptop by Monday of next week at the very latest. If I order tonight will it get here in time? Need it before heading to France. Again this is coming from Dell Outlet not the customizable site.

    *edit: next Monday meaning 06/26/06 so basically 8 days

    I'm not sure why you're calling 6/26 ''NEXT'' Monday but even the customized ones arrive in about a week so I won't be too worried.

    Ha, yeah I guess next would imply the immediate Monday. When it hits the weekend I just lump any days around Friday-Mon together.

    They usually ship next day...and if you choose next day shipping, you should get it Tuesday. (it's not guaranteed they are going to ship it next day, but my experience has been that they do)

    Correct, outlet systems are prebuilt and sitting on shelves. They usually ship out the next business day.
