Thread: XPS 9000 and XPS 8000 delivery delay issues

Started 2 months ago by thejournalizer
The previous thread that mentioned issues of the Studio XPS 9000 and XPS 8000 being delayed or having extensive build times was locked. After a months time I had ordered mine (9/26) and it was supposed to ship on (10/22), after two delays it finally shipped out and will be received today (10/28). If you have any issues or have found any solutions to help get your systems sooner please help ...

I ordered my studio xps 8000 on 10/11 and the original est. delivery date was 10/26. This was delayed to 11/2 and then again to 11/9. I called customer support and they were really unhelpful, just said the expected lines and would not upgrade my shipping. I noticed the xps 8000 at all my area Best Buys. I guess they are busy building for them and all of us internet orders are paying for it...

I just ordered mine today with an expected delivery of November 16. If it's going to be ANY later, I will call and cancel the order. When it comes to technology, especially computers there is no need to wait, the price keeps on dropping. Besides, I'm already having second thoughts on my purchase too. I could spend a hundred dollars more and have a much more upgradable system and a much more...

I ordered my XPS8000 on 10/7 with a surprisingly quick initial delivery date of 10/12. On 10/13 they bumped the date to 11/4 and on 10/20 they changed it again to 11/25. The last two dates were not posted on the order status page so I actually had to call to get them. It has been very frustrating. No one at customer care has any information that is in the least bit reliable. When I called on ...

I don't think the delay is just on the XPS systems, as I have ordered a Studio 15 laptop on the 10/22 with an delivery date of 11/1, just logged on now to check and they have delayed the delivery until the 11/24. I think it has been delayed because I asked for the Intel i7 core, I say 'guess' because only the Sales department is open 7 days a week, I do like the way once Dell have taken your ...

mm_64 and Peter, I couldn't agree more with what you have expressed. I feel angry because it seems to me the dates they are telling us are not truthful. I suppose they think if they told us the real delivery date, we would not order or would cancel. But if only we had more information, we could make a decision on whether to wait or cancel. I am also extremely dissatisfied with Dell ...

Im in the UK here so unfortunately Best Buy isn't an option for me. I guess when I said sales was 7 days a week, that's just new sales. You know it would be nice if they just said why there were so many delays, if they told me they didn't have the chipset in stock then I would understand but just changing the delivery date so late on with no reason. It is hard to believe though if the ...

Hi Spaz, I really thought about cancelling my order and buying the same computer at Best Buy. However, I got a good deal when I ordered through Dell and the one I am waiting for has slightly better specs at a slightly lower price. This decision would be a lot easier to make if I knew exactly how much longer I need to wait. This is the real reason why I am so angry with Dell's customer ...

Here's my Story, I first ordered the Studio XPS 8000 on October 1(shipped from NC), it processed and shipped the next day. it took about 4 days to recieve it (oct 5th) . Once i recieved it, i was very dissappointed with it, so i sent it back the next business day (not before spending 4-6hours arguing with customer service/ order mgnmt/ my sales agent etc for them to waive the15% ...

My original post wad deleted by the mods. Let's give this one a go. It's quite tempting to keep one's order in the queue. However, we need to remain focused that the price of PC components and builds wil be dropping in price and specs getting better. In my case, the Dell rep also sweetened the deal a bit but didnt lower the price. It's good to read that they have the authority to do so. ...

Sorry I keep bombarding this topic but I am really angry at the moment. I just went in one of Dell's chat windows and asked for a estimated delivery for the same laptop I ordered on the 10/22 and they said if I ordered it today it would be on or before the 11/17. I said thats quite impressive, can you explain to me why the latop I ordered 2 weeks ago has been delayed until the 11/24. The ...

Just received a call from Dell regarding my complaint with the BBB.. It was an interesting call and I did find out that the complaint was what finally made them jump and ship my order to me..  They apologized over and over and took my comments as suggestions to help and improve their ordering process (I almost laughed out loud when he told me that).. Anyway, bottom line is, I shouldn't have to go and complain to receive...

On 12/11 I received my new EDD of 1/5/10.  I never received an email when it updated to the 12/24 EDD, it just showed up on the order status.

Storm75: I am another XPS 8000 delay victim and I described my issues in an ealier post.  Trying to avoid the old Ford vs. Chevy argument, but my new HP Pavilion Elite e9270f is also well assembled, light and runs incredibly quiet.  And it arrived about 26 hours after I ordered it online from HPDirect.  When I checked last evening their Web site was now showing "out of stock" for this...

I subscribed to this thread and now I'm stuck!   Heres my two cents.  If you guys read all the posts on here you'll see my story.  I canceled my order.   Anyway in my opinion Dell is delaying the orders on certain deals they made hoping the consumer will cancel.  I got an I7 with 8gb, 240 video card, and monitor for arounf 1050$..  Thats an incredible deal.  You know the...

n2speed125: I guess I'm just angry and trying to figure out why the delay.. I ordered my system thinking I would have it before Christmas since I'll be off work for two weeks and without a computer at home, it's gonna be a looooong two weeks..   Ya, that really does bite.  I'm sorry to hear.  Hope your wait isn't too long.

LaruscoB: nicoledi4ne: Just received my 3 packages not even two minutes ago. I think Dell is shaping up considering the delay emails I received. To the others who had theirs updated- any news from Fedex? Why 3 packages? Monitor, CPU and Keyboard?     Yes, yes, and no - Speakers. The monitor is ok...the colors are completely off compared to everything I've used. Trying to get them to match.

djpault666: ok this is an update from a day or two ago when i posted. i think all the calling and talking to a supevisor and sending numerous emails helped. as its say my xps 9000 has shipped and say the same thing in the four places you can check your status. they also have a hold on my $ now so it must have shipped. im not gonna hold my breath till i recieve my tracking number..seems like all the dates have been pushed earlier on their...

i cancelled my order last week, despite having a EDD on 21 Dec 09. I still glad that i made tat choice, cos it might be shifted again.
