Dell has D60 kit for under $2000 IN StOCK

Thank you for doing this analysis. My order number is 913384590 so that places me between charles and pookguy and, by your estimate, I should get good news on the 27th.

charles nash 913376364 cancelled 11:00AM
pookguy 913397931 delayed 11:05AM
mel hill 913400412 delayed
wilson 913406062 delayed
jay sinrod 913439048 delayed 11:39AM

I'm guessing that there's a D60 order every 2480 increase in order
number.

there are 16 D60 orders between charles and mehrdad
there are 9 orders between pookguy and charles
there is 1 order between mel and pookguy
there are 2 orders between mel and wilson
there are 13 orders between jay and wilson

For myself (wilson), I'm estimating 20 to 30 orders before me.
This sort of makes sense. Someone mentioned that Dell had 12 in
stock. Sounds like they may get another 12 in on the 27th. So I
may just get one from the batch after the 27th.

--wilson
Order # 913406062

(So the order before mine is probably 913406054)

The orders between mine and yours are obviously not all for D60s
but at least we'll know if there are a billion orders. My order
status was changed from "ship on or before 27th" to "delayed 8/27."

--wilson
Yes, my order show shipped and also the tracking number!!
Please post the date and time, including time zone info, of your
order confirmation email from Dell. This will help the rest of us
understand where we are in the queue. My order confirmation was
sent 8/22/02 at 9:15am PST, about 15 minutes after I submitted the
on-line order.

Thanks, Tom
I have it in my hand, thanks again for the original post

here is the info: order placed 8/22/02 10:18:21 AM
 
Assuming Dell is really getting a batch on the 27th. Either way, your status probably won't change until the night of the 27th. Hopefully it'll be a tracking #.

...or at least it seems, with a order number of 913663399.

For those counting, that's about 300,000 orders behind other threads I've read.

Perhaps Dell will have a good deal on the D90 by the time I get mine ;-,

What really p*sses me off is that 3 different Dell associates assured me that it would arrive by 8/27/02. I'm sending each one of them investment ideas, ya know...swamp land in Florida and the like.

almost the identical situation happened last year with dell and a great price with the canon G2. a ton of people placed orders, were given shipping dates, got delayed notices, people started getting disgusted and cancelling orders (including me) BUT LO AND BEHOLD, dell started shipping and a whole bunch of people got their G2s in time and got a great deal. it might be worthwhile to hop over to the canon forum and read the archives to see how history might repeat itself. :-)

as for my sob story, i put the D60 in my shopping cart and decided to wait until i could get home and ask my wife first. she said yes but by the time i got back online, dell had removed the D60 from their site.

sigh

Why is this thread dead? Have everyone given up on Dell? My estimated ship date still says "on or before August 27th", one more day to find out whether it means anything. What are your thoughts?

I guess most of us don't have anything to say until a) the ship by date changes or b) we get a tracking number.

I'm hoping for b) tomorrow.

Hi.

I can't find the D60 on Dell's website anywhere. Did they remove it because it is not in stock? I want to order it now, while the 10% off sale is going on, I don't mind at all if it takes a while to ship...any ideas?

I too am waiting to find out the deal tomorrow. The Dell customer rep I spoke to today said he was "very optimistic" that those delayed D60's (or at least mine) would ship tomorrow. Let's post tomorow after further developments.

For those of us who have a ship date of 8/27, the status should update--for better or worse--tonight past midnight. I assume Texas time.

Well, I too ordered in the frenzy on the 22nd. It is 10:15am on 8/27 and I just checked my order status. It still says delayed and than it is not in stock. I'm not very optimistic that it will ship today, but who knows? My biggest concern is how big is the backorder queue and where am I on the list. I have not having any luck getting that information from Dell's customer service department. It's no big deal if they can deliver in a week or two. I just hope it does not turn into another 60 day wait like Ritz.
 
I just called Dell about order status, my order # is 913376364, they said
it would ship out today.

Yes, same person, I got "cold feet" about cancelling order and decided to check and see if they really did cancel, (ha, I know how screwed up Dell is!,and sure enough they had not cancelled order. She went away for several minutes and came back on the phone stating that yes, she was "sure" it would ship today, go figure!

Charles
Was he the same person who told you it'd ship last Friday? :)

Thought you said you had cancelled.
