Dell
They rock.
I ordered a replacement server just after 3:00 PM on Tuesday, November 23. Expected ship date would have gotten it here Friday, with complimentary overnight shipping.
It shipped yesterday and arrived this afternoon.
What’s funny is I got a shipment confirmation e-mail this morning, which I didn’t actually read fully, and assumed related to shipping today, arriving tomorrow. So I was shocked when the server arrived “same day.” Turns out the e-mail was telling me it had shipped on the 29th.
They are so good about trying to beat expectations like that. Now to open it and make sure it’s intact. After I clear a space on the work table to set it up. Since I still plan to do the actual changeover from the old mail server to this one during the weekend, they have given me tons of extra time to have it ready to go. Should make for an easier weekend. Yay!
