Members Taustin Powers Posted August 12, 2005 Members Share Posted August 12, 2005 So I placed an order for a digital camera (canon sd400) through dell, as they had some kickass coupons going on, and even beat amazon by $55 before tax. On the item description it says "usually ships in 1-2 weeks". No big deal, I can wait that long for the money I saved... Now I placed the order, and on the confirmation email it says "estimated shipping date: October 18th, 2005"!! What the {censored}! I called their hotline and said "WTF MATE", and they explain that the camera is actually coming from a 3rd party vendor, and they simply need to wait until they get it from them.....all I can do is wait. Or cancel the order. Which I am tempted to do, and just go with amazon anyways. I'm paying tax on Dell's order, so the savings are only like $30 with everything I ordered....which is still $30 bucks, but I could have the {censored}ing thing next week. Argh, I hate it when they put misleading information on the website! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Zeromus-X Posted August 12, 2005 Members Share Posted August 12, 2005 Take the shipping time with a grain of salt though -- I've never received something on time or late from them, they've all been early. We order proprietary power supplies from them at work all the time and I'm always told 2-3 weeks, expect it on (insert date), and it's there in 3-4 days. Same thing with my monitor I've got here at home, was told to expect it over a month after I got it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Taustin Powers Posted August 12, 2005 Author Members Share Posted August 12, 2005 How long would you say is a normal time for a company like Dell to get something from a 3rd vendor (assuming it's in stock) and then ship it to me? I have no experience with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
