I ordered the wireless keyboard/mouse on Wednesday and there was a delivery attempt on Thursday. Mind you with that there was likely a stack of them that just needed an address label- no customization or anything.

Everything I've ordered from Dell comes via Purolator. If they said it shipped last week, I'd expect it as of yesterday or today. Didn't they give you a tracking number (although I've received items before the tracking system showed them in Calgary. A tracking system is no good if they don't scan the boxes at each step).

That's what I thought but seeing as it is already quater to three here in vancouver it doesn't look like it's comming today. And no they didn't give me a tracking number. I have ordered ink cartridges from them before and that took only two days to get here so now that it's almost been a week i'm starting to wonder when i'll get it. they mailed the invoice to me that shows I've already paid and it's dated the same day as the day the laptop was shipped

I've had stuff take more than a week from Dell, so I wouldn't be too worried yet.

It took a little while for me to get my laptop (I got it about 3 weeks ago). It was "In transit in the US" for about 4 or 5 days I think. Then it got to Calgary. They tried delivering and then it went back to the main depot and the next day was sent to a depot closer to my house. Don't worry

Just to clarify, the backpack is a backpack and USB numeric keypad.
And the cordless phone is actually a dual handset corless phone, so 2 phones.

Looks like I'm buying a 4 port USB Hub...That thing will sure come in handy, and is very cheap at 14 bucks.

Yes, sorry, I got lazy.
But that External HD is tempting.
I had never heard of a 'calling' mouse before, but when I read the description they have been around (but rare) for a bit. It has a microphone built in, so you can use it for making Skype calls (for example) without the need for extra gadgets.

I ordered the MP3 player last week. The expected shipping date is Aug 14th! I know it'll come before that, but I wish it would give me a more realistic date. I have come home and found deliveries left outside my front door (although I usually need to drive to pick up the delivery)
