The order was placed 6th March(Friday) and it confirmed on 10th. I got the confirmation mail with a committed delivery period of 10 days. So it should reach me on 20th.

Two days later, on 12nd March I got a mail from Dell saying that there is a delay in the production and the delivery may slip for one week. I contacted Javed and he clarified that the delay is due to shortage of part.

Yesterday I got another mail from Javed saying that the shipment out scanned to Dart Apex on 15th and is now on the way to Trivandrum. By today morning 11AM I got call from the DHL office asking for a convenient time to hand over the shipment. They brought it to my office by 4PM.

Soon after returning from office I unpacked it. It was an all black lappy with glossy finish but with a pre installed crap. I have overwritten Vista with Fedora 10. Now just completed installation and its working fine. I have to fine tune  it later
