But there is a tick by kitting build and testing.

You still have a while to go yet. Since your getting it in January.

Re: Dell order status question
My guess is you'll get it sooner than that.

Re: Dell order status question
I am going with Zazonz and say you'll get sooner also. Once there is a checkmark by a certain phase, it means that phase has been completed. Usually preproduction and production are pretty quick (3-5 days). Then boxing takes 3 business days.
Unless you have something that they had on back order, you'll generally get it in about 3 weeks.

Thanks :)
It's still in boxing phase.
SO hopefully by years end?

Re: Dell order status question
LOL, sounds like you'll have it soon. Here is the breakdown on the boxing & shipping stage:
Boxing stage is around 3 days. This is when the laptop is being transported from Malaysia to Tennessee. Once it is in Tennessee (status will change to prepare for shipment or shipped), a 3rd party transporter takes it from the Dell Center to the regional UPS/FedEx/DHL center. Mine went to the Kansas City regional center, but I'm not sure if that is standard center for all or not. You should receive a tracking number by email or it will be in order status.
When you try to track it, it will say something along the lines of "received shipping confirmation, but not package" until it reaches the regional center. With mine, it reached regional center on Wed, and I received my laptop on Friday.

Re: Dell order status question
omg, i just went to my shipping status and now it doesnt say boxing, kitting, building or w/e, its a screen saying in transit and some stuff. Does that mean they shipped it? it does say under status details "order shipped - 11/30/2005" hopefully it was shipped! btw, you will probably get it sooner, since my estimated ship date was dec. 16th, and it just got shipped yesterday!!!! someone tell me if im right that it was shipped!
Answer:
Re: Dell order status question
if your order status says shipped or it has a checkmark by shipped, then yes your order has been shipped. You should see a tracking number on your order status under the shipped. If you don't, you can either call dell or chat with them to get the tracking number.

Re: Dell order status question
Dell's updates are almost always a case of under promise and over deliver. I ordered a PC for a family member a couple weeks ago and it shipped 2 days early. It's one of their tactics to make you feel better ;)
