XPS 15 "Delivery Preperation"

My order has been in Delivery Preparation since Saturday. I wonder how much longer until it actually ships? I have next day shipping. Can't wait...

That's an awful long time to put the laptop in a box and print an address label. ;-)



I ordered my XPS 15 on Friday and have an EDD of 5/5. I feel like I did in high school when I had concert tickets for my favorite band and the concert was not until the following month.



I hope you enjoy your lappy and will write about it in the owner's forum.

Yep it now shows shipped, I have never been so OCD about anything. I'm relieved.

Congratulations! I know exactly what you mean about being OCD. Mine has an EDD of 5/5, and yet I'm checking the website constantly for changes in the status. I need help.

Congratulation @ scott5626 . Ever since I placed my order on 3/31 I have been like totally OCD,checking the status page and after about 10 days the manufacturing build was complete and got shipped 4/12(what a relief) on express delivery, but due to state elections here on 4/13 the laptop is yet to be delivered , just hoping to get it today

I just ordered my XPS 15 just after midnight PST Tues, 4/12. Considering it's only been two days, with an EDD of 5/16, I've checked a ridiculous number of times. The funny thing is that the account summary page has changed order status to "Delivery Preparation" as of last night (Weds 4/13)! When I click on the order to see the full order page, it still shows "In Production," but if I click on those words, it lists out all the possible states and "Delivery Preparation" doesn't exist--it goes from "In Production" to "Shipped".



I was just searching on "Delivery Preparation" and found this. Wanted to share my experience for others to see examples. I will keep the thread updated as to what happens... Maybe I got lucky and got someone's order cancellation?!

My status also changed to "Delivery Preparation" today, but I ordered mine back on the 8th. Same thing happened to me when I clicked the link for order details: that page says "In Production."



I called Dell to find out what "Delivery Preparation" means and how long it will be until I get my computer. At first, the rep insisted that the info on the order details page is all he knows. Then, he put me on hold when I kept pressing, and when he came back, he told me that my machine was going into testing.



I believe testing is the final stage before boxing, and based on Scott5626's experience, I'm expecting this "Delivery Preparation" stage to take about three days. If that is the case, I should receive the beast long before the 5/5 EDD.
