It was shipped on Saturday.. Free shipping.. how long did it take you to get yours?

Im in Texas

Oh, I want it now:P I've already downloaded Demos for Doom 3 and Half Life 2 I want to try out.

There is an Order Status forum that is better for this type of question - this forum is for Dimension hardware issues.

Actually, although it says it shipped on Saturday, the trailer was loaded but didn't move till late yesterday or today - UPS doesn't work weekends.  You should be able to get a status by tomorrow and check the UPS site.

mines not the XPS one.. but its the 8400

P4 3.0
512m DDR2 400mhz
Geforce 6800 256M PCI Exspress

I mainly play games at 1024 x 768 anyways

  Don't know much about the trucking industry do you? UPS does deliver on Saturdays in the continental USA and shipments are on the move to destination terminals 24/7 after initial pickup. The original poster can go to: http://www.ups.com/ dial in the shipmemt number and get the current location of his/her system with a projected delivery date.

 LM*O when I read that quote. The only people that don't work weekends at UPS are upper management and the office personel that update shipment status. The grunts that do the work are not M-F, 9 - 5. All delivery quotes are business days of M -F, but the wheels on the big cars keep turning on the weekends to get these Dells to the terminals that deliver to your homes and businesses.

UPS does not deliver on weekends for Dell by contract.  It's been posted before that the semi is loaded and closed, but doesn't move during the majority of the weekend.

      UPS does deliver on Saturdays, maybe not for Dell and I will stand by what I wrote. I am and have a Longhaul and local driver for over twenty years in the trucking industry and weekends are major transit periods to move freight within a company's freight system to make on time deliveries or deal with potential delays due to other causes. Dell ships throughout the weekend and being such a large account to UPS, linehaul drivers are picking these trailers up and delivering to railyards and sorting facilities to get the trailers into the system. FedEx, Yellow Freight, Roadway Express or any other of the big names close their road operations down on only one day of the year and that is Christmas Day; the other 364 they all think they own you.

    Teamster driver and proud to say so,

Here in OR., UPS does not deliver to your home on Sat. nor are the pickup / dropoff sites open.
You can get commercial deliverys on Sat.
I found this out, trying to pick up my new 8400.

I can get UPS Saturday delivery in Florida if I'm dumb enough to pay the premium of about double the price of next day air.  I think I can wait......
