(i've made my online purchase on 5th of june, bt the new order number states that order received on 12th of june) btw, i'm paying by the 0% credit card instalment...so a bit delay shud be reasonable enough? first time dell customer here, so bear with me~ not to forget, thanks for the info, hico This post has been edited by crisisneo: Jun 13 2009, 10:23 PM
