I PM'd Cathy over at the dell forums and she said a $100 credit would be applied toward my card once the invoice processes and ships...mine is supposed to arrive tomorrow, so we'll see what happens. I wrote her again and asked when I could expect the credit now that it has shipped but she still hasn't responded.

Hmmm... first you were whining, and now you are whining again and you wonder why YOUR drive is taking longer?

With the amount of posts you have and considering I joined a month after you, you're nothing but a thread crapper. Based on what your posts say, you're first class idiot material. STFU! That goes for you too Hans007! Get a life.

Hahaha......keep on whining some more, someone will eventually listen to you, maybe.....that's right, the whole world is out out to get poor little you......GET REAL.

You ordered a flipp'in HDD and someone at Dell made an error. It is not the end of the world, your family did not get injured, you didn't get physically harmed, your retirement accounts are not affected, hell-----you aren't even going to be out any additional money, you can cancel your order (you have already been heard by complaining to the BBB) or you can wait for the drive to eventually ship and send in your rebate.

All in all, you are not getting ripped off. But you choose to make a big stink'in deal about it.

Thread crapper my ass.....I go after whiner babies but I do not thread crap.....have you even read this thread in it's entirety. Man...pull your head out of your ass before making unsubstantiated comments.

And as for getting a life, look in the mirror pal. Who is acting like the sky is falling because a drive is delayed in shipping?

 

[Caveman2001]

The BBB is there for a reason, you moron.

Your posts reinforce your ignorance.

How long do you think it would take Dell to deliver a 120GB hdd if you ordered one today post rebate? Usually ships in 1-3 days.

120 GB, 7200 RPM, Average Seek Time 8.9 ms, Internal, 100 MBps, EIDE Ultra ATA/100

However, I was just told by a CSR that a ship date of December 31st is what he was told.

On the web page, it clearly says "Dell", and there is nowhere mentioned "Western Digital"
That's the Dell-branded one.
Come on people, they're making effort to fill our orders.
Think it with your brain; 12/31 is just a conservative estimate.
Just wait patiently. It will come before that.
If you can't wait, just cancel.

There has been some confusion about the ship date for these drives. It is important to realize that there are three different categories of products - the retail version (sku A0060210), the bare version (A0009295) and Dell specific drives. The only category with products currently available for sale on line are the Dell specific drives. These are designed to work with specific systems and show a 3 day lead time. These are separate products and should not be confused with the retail and the bare drives involved in this rebate. Your ship date should have been communicated to you by email or phone call.

 

[Sundog]

Another round of emails just went out, I received a couple on the OEM drives (A0009295) stating that it would ship and a credit would be applied within 10-15 business days.

Now let's hope that the rest of the retail drives get shipped also!

 

[neomits]

Just got my OEM version today


Ordered on the 12th at like 2AM

now to figure out if I'll get my credit back or not

 

[ziptree]

at least the rebates are still getting honored up to 30 days after the drive ships.

 

[jeepman69]

My wife's drive shipped! Order about 12:18AM 10/12, live in So. Calif. It is not in the tracking system at UPS yet, but if it is NOT coming from TN, I will post where it is coming from. Now if my drive would just ship, then I can start negotiations with the wife why I need her drive for a 240GB RAID 0 Stripe set and she will be happy with my two Quantum Fireball LM ATA66 drives!

 

[linster]

Just tell her the reason you need 240 GB of storage is the same as her needing 20 pairs of shoes.

aint it the truth though, lol

 

[ch4920]

got my 120 gig retail drive today along with my dimension 4550. which drive do i want to have as my primary drive? my other drive is a 60 gig 7200 rpm 2mb cache. does it matter?

 

[deramon]

It looks like all drives are shipping out, and very quickly. I got mine today even though I had Nov and Dec ship dates.

As per the dell community forum;

"All,

I have been advised that all order #'s that were placed for the drives between 10/8-10/13 have been sent to the fulfillment center. You should be able to take advantage of the rebate for both the bare and retail drive. Please let me know if you have problems with the rebate submission.

Respectfully,

I am sending mine right away. The rebate link is shown in the thread.

Yes, it does, although not greatly.
Install your OS on the faster one (120GB 8MB).

I hope that's true.
Mine is still InProduction.

 

[warriorfan23]

check your orders if u ordered early morning on the 12th cuz i checked my status and it just shipped!!

i ordered on the 12th at like 1am

 

[toolfan]

Sweet, my retail drive has shipped as well. Ordered the 12th at 3am.

 

[Walliser]

oh my gawd! my drive shipped!

here are my details:

Order detail - order placed 10/11/02 11:13:20 PM
Retail drive
Shipped via UPS Ground from Memphis, TN @ 8 pm today, now in transit to Philadelphia, PA.

I didn't really care when it would ship after all, le's be honest, a 120GB hard drive for about $70? For a deal like that I will show some patience.
Nonetheless I commend Dell AND Western Digital for resolving the issue so quickly.

 

[chanfo]

Ordered Retail drive on 10/11 7:26pm EST order #: 130797XXX
Ordered OEM drive on 10/11 9:18pm EST order #: 130843XXX

Have already received both drives. Retail arrived 2 days ago and OEM arrived today. Both shipped from TN to OH

 

[KL123]

[MrBaseball]

My retail drive shipped.
