Comments on: Dell Inspiron Mini 9 – a cursory glance. http://segwayne.com/apple-and-tech-stuff/dell-inspiron-mini-9-a-cursory-glance/ A whinery of substance Wed, 26 Jan 2011 17:22:28 +0000 hourly 1 By: Wayne http://segwayne.com/apple-and-tech-stuff/dell-inspiron-mini-9-a-cursory-glance/#comment-74 Wayne Thu, 26 Mar 2009 02:16:10 +0000 http://segwayne.wordpress.com/?p=256#comment-74 I'm sure that -- even without the advertisement on samsclub.com -- if you have your boyfriend, the owner of the card, call them, he can straighten it all out without much problem. At least I'd hope that's what would happen. As for delivery time, 3 weeks exactly from the date of purchase. I didn't get an e-mail, and when I called them a couple of times, got completely different answers including "it'll ship out Friday". When their Web site didn't change by next Monday, I called them again and got "we don't know who would have ever told you that". The next day, it showed up, shipped directly from Dell outside of Nashville, TN. The funny thing was, a week later, I get this e-mail saying that it was 'ready to ship' and to expect a tracking number soon. Short answer, three weeks. You should know however that Dell has stopped making the Dell mini 9 in favor of the Dell Mini 10. This is why sam's took it off their site but they should honor already-placed orders. Would it be worth it to wait? Depends on what he wants it for. The thing about the Dell Mini 10 is that it's a much higher price for a slower machine, so in essence, Yeah. I like it better than what replaced it.

I ordered the same laptop from samsclub.com (given its only been about 9 days) and I was wondering how long it took you to get it. It wasnt my membership, and i charged it to my boyfriends credit card (with his permission of course) and they made him verify it was okay to charge it, and then when i called and asked the status on it the phone rep said i would have a tracking number this past monday. Then I get an email saying the credit card holder has to call by the 23rd or they will cancel the order because someone that was not him called about the order. even though I verified all the info they wanted! lol So nowI cant call and find out, I dont want him to (In case they find another reason to cancel it) and the damn offer isnt even on their website!! Is the computer even worth the trouble?? Haha, mann have i got a question for you!
