Misleading Shipment Information

Could Dell look into the information for shipment during the purchase process? Because it is very misleading.

Ordered an Alienware 17 R3 (self-configured) on 15th. And it says ships in 2-3 business days. I somehow misunderstood it as the estimated time for receiving the item. But realized it during check out that ETA is different and "2-3 business days" is simply when it will be shipped out. The ETA is by 29th, which is still fine. However, I received another email yesterday, explaining that ETA refers to the time of the item arrive at their sorting centre in Europe, not my home. I was like ?????? seriously? So when should I expect to receive my laptop? Will need it for work and certainly need to arrange my timetable in order to receive the parcel from courier. I simply hope it will arrive before November since I might be on a business trip by then.

If anyone has ordered Alienware recently, could you please share your timeline of the shipment? It would be very helpful, as a reference, for me to adjust my timetable etc.

But again, can Dell ever improves the accuracy of information regarding delivery/shipping for the customers before they place an order?? I feel somehow cheated.
