All Dells are made in the states.. Even for Canada, they usually either go throught the border in Alberta or TO.. Usually the time process for dells are 1 week build and 1 week shipping.

When I got my D630 couple years ago, it said it was made from Malaysia (bought it from dell.com, the states site).
