Router!

The Dell website still shows my router as "in transit to local carrier".

Local carrier showed up at the door about an hour ago with one box for

marxdarx (eBay stuff), and one box for me (Thalia's router).

I am stoked, because Thalia shipped one day after the router, and should therefore be showing up tomorrow. I think Thalia's coming via UPS, as the router came via UPS, and only the mouse and Norton are explicitly stated as coming via DHL.

Dell ships a lot of stuff through Airborne Express, but DHL bought ABX a year ago or so.

I don't think this will affect anything in any way, just FYI.

I got my mouse, and I got my router.

Now I'm just waiting on Thalia.

I'm not waiting very patiently. I think I'll go jump up and down by the window or something.

*SQUEE of anticipation* What's she look like? Stats, stats, share!!! (I'm tech deprived, I have to live vicariously.)

Yeesss, my Precious.... Gives it to us.

*snaps herself out of it* Um, sorry. *wipes up the drool*

And that was the one that I had to settle for. Still kilometres shinier than Tigereye, though.

You suck. (And probably quite well, too, though not currently. *ducks*)

What I wanted: 100+ gig hard drive, DVD burner, faster, XP Pro, Windows Office Pro with Access (and a side of Visio if I could swing it), WordPerfect (of course), and a few random other shinies.

Annnnnd warranty/service/coverage of damaged bits, and...

... 6 months AOL dial-up.

*facepalm*

They didn't have an option to get rid of it.

Well, you can always use it for access to Time and Newsweek and such. It's the only decent reason I know of to use their service.

Still and all.

I should call in and see if I can't get rid of it.

Call Dell's customer care. tell them you want the tracking number so you can track your item.

If they refuse to give it, tell them to call their representative with DHL to FIND the package.

It may have been a multiple tracking number issue much like what they had with UPS about two months ago.

Just call them and see what happens....and DON'T let them transfer you, and in the future make all your Dell pujrchases off the small business webpage/catalog. If you buy thru small business you get Customer Care and Tech Support in the US, not in India.

Just thought I'd help.

The DHL package got here this morning, 2nd day after it was shipped. As soon as

marxdarx is off the phone with his mother, I'll probably call and get Thalia's tracking number just so I can obsess.

That'll probably be a couple hours, though.

My Evil Ex ordered Tigereye as a small business, and I was so bent-out-of-shape at that that I didn't consider the good side of it.
