I just ordered a dell laptop today. Preliminary ship date?

Since you didn't customize parts or software then all they have to do is put inside a box and send it to you via UPS 2-3 day shipping or USPS Priority Mail 3-day shipping.It seems pretty accurate to me.Dell boxes are very very nice.They have a handle to make it easy carrying around so don't throw the box away.If you ever move to another apartment(or house) you won't regret that you kept the box.
