DEAD DELL 1800FP 18" LCD $426 Free Ship today from Home Division 1/23/03 only

[iwearnosox]

I've never found a flat panel suitable for games, although I've not looked at the new 15ms models. I have looked at 20-25ms models and experienced ghosting issues, though.

Hopefully one of you die hard FPS players will plug this puppy in and let us all know.

Got one... now how do I explain this to the wife?

Looks like you're gonna be spending $426 on flowers and chocolate. Or maybe shoes.

FYI those that ordered, check with Dell directly on shipping status. Even though mine still shows 'in transit to carrier' on their website, it actually shipped yesterday. Their automated attendant gave me a tracking number, although it's still not showing on UPS' site (Dell blacks out order # for 24 hours after shipment, but it did go out at 7pm last night according to the guy at Dell).

I ordered mine at around 10 pm Eastern last night. I'm praying that I'll be one of the lucky ones and it magically shows up on Saturday. Oh what a sweet weekend it will be!

Weird I thought eBay would be flooded with these, only 16 auctions currently.

They weren't going well on eBay before the "deal" and after this, they won't go for more than $500. I'm glad I got only two, one for myself (wife-approved, yeah!) and one for a backup.

Anyone got their tracking number to work yet? Stupid 24 hour rule I wanna track!!!

 

[kevman]

significant other talked me otu of this one....I'm sooo regretting it.

 

[Courtland]

Has anyone that ordered it after around 9PM EST last night gotten their shipping confirmation yet? My order is still processing and I am wondering when the heck its going to ship out.

If you guys want to track your monitor just track by reference number on the UPS website and put your order number in for the reference number.

I think that these monitors might be traveling via Airborne Express instead of UPS.

I saw that because I've ordered a couple monitors from Dell and they all have come by Airborne which actually is a good thing.

I dont think Airborne likes to play football w/ packages as much as UPS does.

 

[mroleg]

yes they travel airborn. i hope they don't play football with mine. would hate to have to return it and wait for another.

I got in on this monitor special and the 2350 Dimension special yesterday. What a freaking nightmare it ended up being trying to order these things. I thought I would post what I learned about Dell's insides to better educate someone else inhte future.

This monitor was only on sale for the home division, which is practically an entirely separate company from the small business division. I had a 2350 for $409 in my cart from SB and then the monitor whose discount would only apply if your cart was referencing the Home side. I have no idea how you switch your cart in between the two stores. I ended up having to make two different accounts and use Mozilla for Dell Home and IE for Dell SB just to keep my carts straight and place the order.

Thanks for the deal, my mom and her new flatscreen PC thank you.

...YET, it's blown all the money i don't have yet. That's what CC/Dell Preferred Accounts are for. I had to buy one, I paid a little more than this for my 17" LCD In September!

Well they shipped mine via UPS.

Mine went UPS too. Only "Billing Information Received" status so far.

Anyone know where they are shipping from?

[amdskip]

If anyone has an extra one, I'll be interested.

 

[ozziegn]

how can I find out which courier was used with my monitor?

 

[mroleg]

call 800-wwwdell go to order status, they will give you your airbill number or tracking number and tell you which courrier it is. track it at airborn.com or ups.com - depends on how they sent it. make sure you have your order number when you call.

 

[psykohog]

I ordered mine yesterday and it shipped UPS also.
My A7N8X and 2600XP came today i am in geek
heaven. By the way can anybody loan me a few bucks?
