EDIT: This entry seems to be getting a fair amount of attention. My laptop did arrive a few days later if I recall. Tracking info was pretty much non existant.

Laptop is still not here. The tracking is somewhat cryptic and I have no idea where it is.

I’m slightly worried about one of the entries. Apparently the delivery date has been set but they were supposed to call me to ask when it is convenient. Also, what does “plan committed” mean? What plan?

There are also some bad experiences with the courier that Dell use to ship stuff in the UK. Aparrently Walsh Western subcontract the deliveries to other couriers so I have no idea what van to look out for.

Call me paranoid but when you have spent a fair bit of money you want to know where your purchace is and negative reviews aren’t comforting.
