find shipping date by a script ???? (warrranty date)

Question : is there a way how I can find the shipping date.
 
I can find the service tag - but I want to add the shipping date to my database (automatically)
 
SO, does anyone know if it is possible to retrieve the shipping / production date of a Dell PC ?
I have searched in a lot of the WMI objects but I cannot find it "inside" the PC itself....
 
So does anyone know where to find it or is there a way how I can autmomate  connecting to the internet and requesting the data from the dell website :

https://support.euro.dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/my_systems_info/en/details?c=nl&l=nl&s=lca&~ck=mn

this is the website where I can enter the servicetag - and it will provide the shipping date but I do not have enough knowledge if and how I could link to that webpage and retrieve the shipping date

if anyone has an idea how to script this I would be very pleased :smileyvery-happy:

ship date is not recorded in the BIOS so you need to pull information from that website.
