Seems maybe I am the last one to place the order,don't know if I can get it.

I placed my order 7/24/01 6:18:24 PM,and got the "Acknowledgement of receipt" mail immediately,got order confirmation mail July 26, 2001 5:24 PM with an order number but no expected ship date.

Since the second mail didn't mention the price at all,I'm not even sure whether I got the $1701 price.


The order status on DELL.COM has been "delivery prep" until I found it changed to "delayed" 7/31,no estimated ship date.


I don't know if this is normal.Should I do something?

Duncken- i ordered over the phone (7/21) and never got any e-mail confirming my order or anything mentioning a ship date. the only thing i got was confirmation that i registered with order watch. that e-mail didn't mention price or shipping either.

called sunday and was told not to expect shipment for 2-3 months.

it supposedly went out today and i got a ups tracking #.

what does all this mean?

i have no idea, and neither does dell, obviously.

 

[Duncken]

You have the ups tracking #?Why don't you use it?It seems you'll get it soon.

What's your order number?jinjen said his 7/23 order will arrive soon,the order number is 614-518-4XX


My 7/24 order number is 617659xxx,seems there is still a long way to go.

[JT]

I ordered vis the phone at about 10AM EST on 7/23. My order number was 614-648xxx. Yesterday I too was on Delayed status and this AM it says that it is ready to be picked up by the shipping company within one business day.


I do not have a UPS number or anything so I assume it will be here Thursday or Friday. WOOO HOOO! I thought this would not work out or that I would have to wait for weeks.

I ordered 7/23 afternoon from the business site, but had to fight to get an order number for a week. My order date now reads 7/27 despite the fact that I ordered four days earlier. I have no idea when these are going to ship, although my acknowledgement said they'd go out today.

I ordered my LT-150 on 7-23 at 9:30am. Last night my status changed to delayed. I called Dell and was told ship date of 8-14. This morning I got an e-mail that my order had shipped. Checked the status web page and it was updated also. So, I hope to see my projector soon. I'm glad my company is not as screwed up as Dell, I would have to close up!

My order number is 618xxxx, thanks to Dell's wonderful customer support. It will be interesting to see when mine ships.

 

[Miles]

I also order on 7/24 earlier in the morning over the phone... I was changed to delayed last night. No update since...


Later,

Order date of 7/23 at 12:30pm CST -- order number 61398xxxx, was delayed yesterday and now is "ready for pickup by shipper within next business day". Interesting to see if it really ships!

 

[lmo]

Got the same thing, plus a note from the infamous, non-responsive, unhelpful-as-can-be Trevor that there was a 7-10 day backlog from the manufacturer.

Ordered by phone 7/25... just got notice of delay to 8/15.

I'm heading off until then anyway, so no problem here (so far).

 

[DRS]

I initially ordered on 7-20 but there was a problem with my CC so they had to redo the order on 7-24. Today I received a order delayed till the 15th notification :-(

 

[Duncken]

It looks we all got the "delay to 8/15" notice the same time.I got mine yesterday 10:00am.

 

[Miles]

I talked to someone at Dell who said they were behind about 250 units... I don't know where that leaves those who ordered on 07/24 but he said there was no ETA (big surprise). It's just a bummer that so many who order the day before received theirs http://www.avsforum.com/ubb/frown.gif


BTW my order number is in the 615 3XX XXX range.

I just got a tracking number for my 7/24 order (6159XXXXX). Again, I originally placed my order on 7/21 but they had to cancel that one and make a new one because I had problems with my CC. BTW I too received the delayed till 8/15 email yesterday.

 

[Duncken]

My 7/24 order (6176XXXXX)status moved to SHIPPED!The SHIPPED icon now turns green,but still no check mark on it.

congragulations Duncken!

i just got mine this afternoon.

after all the worrying and mis-information and promises of long delays, i actually ended up recieving it a day earlier than the salesman over the phone originally told me to expect it.

hope everybody else gets theirs soon.
