Founder Brian Posted May 14, 2011 Author Founder Share Posted May 14, 2011 you will probably get the monday Brian, the date will update sometime this weekend on fedex since it is already in cali.Unfortunately it won't stay in Cali long. It's going to go to TN and then back to CA. Don't ask me why, that's just the stupid way fedex does things with dell packages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't ask me why, that's just the stupid way fedex does things with dell packages.Let us know if it does that. I know Dell used to ship all there laptops from TN for the US (after getting them from where they were built), but my m11x seemed to direct ship from where it landed in GA.Not looking to good for me for next week. Still in build so unless it ships soon and i get it much faster then the 7 days my EDD of 5/31 may be accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right, I just checked my M17x-R3 order from March and it also arrived in the City of Industry, CA and then ended up staying in California until it was delivered to me. Last time when I had a replacement M17x-R2 sent to me, it went from California to TN and back. Hopefully the M18x stays in California but I don't think that will change the shipping date but the less it's moved around the better.

retali8 Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Very jealous right now! Does all dell products get shipped out from California, even for Canadian purchases? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John T. Overath Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 The Order Status page is down for maintenance! What will I do if I can't hit refresh every 10 minutes to see if my order has shipped!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svl7 Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Hahaha, do you know about DDoS? This happens when all the guys who ordered a M18x hit "F5" all couple of minutes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder Brian Posted May 15, 2011 Author Founder Share Posted May 15, 2011 Lol I got tired of calling the Dell order status line. But now I obsessively refresh fedex's page and knowing the system is in the same state as me is torture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But now I obsessively refresh fedex's page and knowing the system is in the same state as me is torture. I am gonna relieve your torture and go ahead and swap out Aydin's laptop for yours. Then you can begin benching his V-tech and swap out the paste for Mx-4. I will take care of your m18x and will even do you a favor by posting up a review on TI only. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder Brian Posted May 15, 2011 Author Founder Share Posted May 15, 2011 I'm excited for you Brian. Do you still have your R2 btw? Nope R2's are all gone. That's a generous offer Faiz but that vtech is too much power for me. I mean just look at it's thickness, I can tell there's some beastly components in there.

Jimbo Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Hey littleone, did you order from the Aussie site or through a mailing service/hidevolution etc? I'm ordering mine soon, can't wait! Where in Aus are you?Nice spec BTW, first I'm aware of with the 2820. Just so you know, those seagate hybrid drives have apparently had problems in RAID 0. I'm not 100% clear if it's model specific or not, but a couple of guys on the x7200 owners lounge at NBR ended up switching them to caviar blacks because they couldn't get a stable OS.

John T. Overath Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Happy Day! Finalizing Production on one page and shipped on another. Fed Ex already has the order number in there system. Not sure how accurate the info is there though as it says "shipment information sent" but shows tomorrow as the delivery date. We will see I guess 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
