How long do dell normally take?

I ordered a Dell Studio 15 yesterday at 8pm, anybody got any clues? It was the 2nd set spec, for 499, i then added one of the colours to it and selected a carry case. Once they have processed the money (can this happen on a saturday?) will it be a few days?

Think my xps laptop took about 5 days from ordering a few years ago.. It took them nearly 3 months to build the replacement

Heard of it taking anything from 4-5 days up to a few weeks..

a few days sounds good, i think if its much more than 1 or 2 weeks though I'll just cancel and get something else.

They have crazy ETA's too.. I remember when i ordered the eta was about 3 weeks, but the sales guy assured me it would be days and it was..

The shipping is random, I had a laptop start in Ireland (where it was made), fly to Germany then land at Heathrow, the drive down from there.

My 1525 took a month to arrive. Apparently, after speaking to someone at Dell, there is a shortage in battery suppliers. That was in July, don't know if it's still the same now.

The average wait time is 7 to 10 working days. Whenever I need to give a customer a new system or monitor, I always say 7 to 10 working days. That's, on average, how long it takes.

All of our systems are built in Limerick in Ireland. There is apparently a lot of manufactures nearby that supply parts to them.

I've rarely had anyone wait two weeks for a new system. I think it's only been once in the whole year I've worked with Dell.

Your Estimated Delivery Date is on or before: 09/09/2008

Which colour have you ordered?

I'm tempted to get the silver with the topo graphic map design. I like the silver but not sure I will like the map design and I cant find any close up pictures on the web!

If anyone has any please link me up!

Alpine white tbh

Haha, you seen the new "Mike Ming" designs they have added today?

Pretty "out there man" looking, not sure I'd be up for one of those apart from the plain one with the white background. Could look nice.
Otherwise I'm going for topo with blue

FrostedNipple · 19 Aug 2008 at 11:25

holly crap those new art works look awesome. I wouldn't get one, because i get bored of art however, those do look phenomenal! Now dell do these artwork styles, what do Sony and the likes really have over dell for looks?

red swirl and bunch o surfers are probably my favorites!

Herojuana · 19 Aug 2008 at 13:39

Yeah man if I was going for one of these arty ones it'd be a choice between those two.

FrostedNipple · 20 Aug 2008 at 16:54

just went into pre-production stage yesterday, which i guess means they are getting all the components ready! I hope they find them and build my lappy quick!

Herojuana · 20 Aug 2008 at 20:53

Good luck nipple, let us know what the topo looks like when you get it

When I ordered my Inspiron a couple of months back I placed the order on a Thursday and had it the following Tuesday, I selected a different CPU, lid colour and a bigger hard disk from the original specification.
