Guest Dante2070 Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 Dealextreme takes about a month to deliver, from the day the item has been shipped (not the day you placed the order). I suggest you wait until the end of next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
