Sorry for the time your order is taking. I see that you have been updated a few hours back on this. 
Ok, so I've purchased from Dell twice before so I know there's a little bit of a wait, but both times my orders arrived well before the estimated delivery date. The second time being last year around April/May when, I believe, there were parts shortages happening. This time around it seems to be affecting me... So at first my ordered was confirmed right away and everything was okay, but that lasted a few days with no changes, except until a little message appeared that said "...about to enter Production". But that lasted a while so I decided to ask what's up, and I was told there was a parts shortage and my order would be expedited. Another week later I ask for an update and I am told that my order was "in the stages of production" and that it would be expedited, although the status still says Confirmed. So another week later and still no change, so I ask what's up and I'm told that there's another inventory shortage...and that the order would be expedited. All three times the estimated delivery date remained the same, and the third rep offered me a small credit. I suppose I'm just writing this in the hopes that there is someone who can possibly help out, either by telling me what's going on with my order (is it being built or not), or if there's a more direct way to interact with the manufacturing team (besides multiple expedite requests)... I'd appreciate any help I can get, Thanks
