When, When and Where?

[dr_doak]

OK, a few of us put in one order for three axims for "work" purposes. This was on the 19th afternoon. They still show as in production. Since Dell insists that they have not shipped yet, I wanna know how everyone else is doing.

When did you order, when did it get shipped (if at all)?
Where was is shipped to (Country/state)?
When did Dell SAY it would ship?

My only course of action is to try and second guess Dell'sshipping schedule before I go insane The waiting is only made worse by the arrival of my new SD card and Wireles CF...

Thanks!

From stories I've heard, the Axim is obviously doing very well and is hence, backlogged, so you may have to wait a while. :cry:

I know about the search, I just hate having to do it over and over looking for a ray of hope... :wink:

Nov 19th (am) / Nov. 26th (but got to UPS on the 27th)
Illinois, USA
Arrived Nov 2. Would have been sooner if not for Thanksgiving and the day after being days off for UPS drivers, but since I wasn't home then anyway, didn't really matter.... I was just upset I couldn't pick it up from the UPS office on Saturday.

Seems like it ranges from 13-16 days. Hrm...I ordered mine on the 1st od December. That means (theoretically) I'll get it on the 14th-17th...My ship date is supposedly the 18th. Blah - I hate waiting for packages :evil: . Especially really really cool stuff .

Dell has starting mass marketing for the Axim. They have all those ads around cnet, and I also got that Dell catalog thing in the mail today which had the Axim in it. Perhaps they are ready to take many many more orders? Which means some of you guys who have been waiting (or those who will have to wait) won't have to wait as long?... I hope so.

From what I was reading on the Dell forum, those that ordered before about noon on the 19th have theirs. Those that ordered later than that either haven't shipped or have just shipped. It also depends on which unit and if you ordered any extras.

I'm guessing that their initial stockpile ran out halfway through the 19th, and that's why there's been a gap in the shipping between orders early on the 19th and orders late on the 19th.

Just kiddin ya, actually it's a good thread. Bunch of misinformation spread through the forum. Would be nice to get all the confirmed data in one place.

Dell's web-manager must have been forced out on the floor to make all these Axims everyone is ordering. He must, because no one is keeping track of the web-site. I ordered my Axim on November 21st after I spent precious days drooling in front of my computer while staring at the 3D Axim. Finally I convinced my wife to let me order a replacement for my Palm IIIxe. I ordered the top of the 400 mhz Axim with a case and screen protectors. My estimated delievery date with next day shipping is December 19. According to the website it went into production on the 23rd of November. I knew I was going into the Thanksgiving Holiday. And I figured Dell is a semi-decent company and gave its employees some time off to enjoy. But now almost two weeks has passed and the same information is listed to this very minute. My Axim is still "kitting." I sure hope in my case the stories are true and my Axim is more than circuit boards and wire in a plastic tote on an assembly line.
Sorry all, I figured it was ok to vent a little after waiting 14-days with no progress. I admit I knew it was going to be a long wait when I was told it would be a few days shy of a month by the time I would have my Axim in hand. And I won't be upset if it takes that long to finally get to me. But... can't they at list give some hope. At least be testing the Axim, or packaging it.

Wow, I feel much better now. This is my first jump into the Pocket PC world. And I am switching from a Palm IIIxe that has been used about 10 times as much as it was probably designed for. Anyone have any recomendations on how I can make the transition the easiest? Or anything that I must know about PPC 2002?

Thanks
Andy

Not quite, I ordered my 300 with no accessories in the AM on the 18th, was shipped the 26th and I am still waiting. :evil: This though is not the fault of Dell. UPS had it here 4 miles away on the 27th and they sent it half way across the country. As I type it is leaving Lexena, KS (hopefully heading east , I'm just not sure with UPS :agrue. Maybe I'll have it befor Christmas.
