    I think this might actually be a new one. For my order from Dell, I was given four different tracking numbers: my laptop (ending in 4583), my printer (4884), my laptop sleeve, and LoJack. My laptop and printer shipped together first, with the other two coming the next day. I've been tracking my laptop, because I need that the most, and I was excited to see that it was supposed to get here today. The tracking site had it (4583) and the sleeve on the truck this morning.

    I wait and wait until a few minutes ago when the DHL truck pulls up, and the guy hands me a big box and a small box. I get inside, open the little box first (it was on top), and then open the bigger box to find my laptop... or not. Inside the box that's supposed to be my laptop is my printer - I'm glad to have it, but it does me no good.

    The box that's supposed to be my printer, 4884, is scheduled to arrive tomorrow, so I don't think it'll be a big deal. But for all of you using Dell's tracking site to follow multiple packages, don't get your hopes up like me :(

    Edit: Haha, wow. I called DHL to see what was up, and the driver returns about an hour later with my laptop! I'm playing with it a bit now; I'll post more of a review once I have time. I'm loving it so far!
