XPS 8700 SE Delay

Hi

I ordered my XPS 8700 SEon october 20th with expected delivery on nov. 1st.

I was informed there was an inventory problem on one item and I would be informed when my machine was ready to be shipped.

I tried 3 times to get some info on the length of the delay. No success.

Will it be 3 days, a week, three weeks, a month ????

I am sure DELL has the info. And the fact that it is not disclosing it is far from reassuring.

So I am considering canceling the order even though the machine specs are pretty good and even though DELL used to be a very reliable company.

Will think it over a couple of days then take action.

I badly need to change my present machine...!!!

????

TIA

Pierre
