In today's economy you may be a victim of some supplier that promised a part and it didn't show up to make your custom machine.
The lesson here is simple. Go with pre-configured ready to ship models if you must have a machine by a certain date.
Dell has, so far, delayed my desktop purchase 4 times. Most recently the new date was only an additional day per the legal notice they emalied to me, but in checking the order status tonight they pushed the delivery date back 2 weeks. Certainly, this violates the FTC mail order rule. Are others getting these repeated delays? Makes
e think it is time to cancel and order an HP.
