Have you tried finding/tracking your order through Dell's website? Anyone have any success with that?

No idea, but mine did come while it was still STV on the Gratis page.

I'm currently STV, waiting on product.
I've been checking
Dell's order status page[=http//support.dell.com/support/order/status.aspx]Dell's order status page and entering customer no. 30683635 and zip code 20001.
But there hasn't been anything ordered since feb 17th. I just got an email the other day regarding the whole "choose between the dimension 3000 and 4700" mixup. So even though it said "sent to vendor" on feb 28th it must not really have been sent to vendor if they are asking 3 days later to confirm which dimension desktop I would like to order. liShrugli
I guess what I'd like to know is if anyone has received their freedesktop from gratis very recently and what the gratis customer #/info on the invoice was, and if there order shows up in the order list on the Dell status page... (know what I mean, vern?)

Enter in the info I mentioned before and there's a bunch of new entries (although they are on "on hold status" whatever that means in Dell speak...

EDIT -->They all look like they are dimension 3000's though... which is ok for me, as that's what I was looking for... but perhaps 4700's will be added later or ???
EDIT2--> I spoke too soon... they are adding a ton of them, be sure to sort by order date (click it twice to get descening/latest) some of the numbers are so fresh to the system they don't even have information, but I saw at least one 4700, so that's good new...
lishrugli at least I hopefully have something to watch and track now =P

Interesting... I'll have to see if any of those are mine!

I found them, but there's no way to see who each order is going to - not even a zip code (

I think we'll have to wait till they ship/tracking numbers and figure it out from there... At least if you think your order is in there, you can think/hope you'll get your desktop between march 24th - 27th if dell's delivery estimates are to be trusted =)

From my experience, Dell's delivery estimates are WAY over-exaggerated. Judging from the older orders there, it should ship 2-4 days after the order is placed. I should get my Dell 5 business days after that D

looks like you are right... they are currently in the "production" phase getting built today... maybe they'll ship tomorrow (guarded optimism)

see CG's posts above... that's the ESTIMATED shipping date. in his experience (and if you look at past orders) they seem to ship much faster than they predict... i.e. they pad their estimates =)
Like scotty on Star Trek...

well it appears mine has shipped! Well there's a dimension 3000 going to my dad's town, it can't be a coincidence =P
Looks like not all of them shipped as of 830ET but a bunch did... College Graduit was right on!
The only downside to getting a free desktop PC for your dad, is the phone calls figuring out how to use it... "wait a minute, this doesn't look like windows 98!?" "where's solitaire?!"
lol

Yup, mine shipped! They put the wrong address on it, but UPS was super-helpful. It's going to be corrected when it gets to my city, and will be delivered TOMORROW! D

congrats!
Just to follow up... my dad received his dimension 3000 and monitor on the 11th (it was built and shipped on the 9th) of march... so that's pretty fast turnaround and shipping on Dells/UPS part...
Anyways just thought i'd share... =)
