New Dell laptop sent from Dell Returns

I purchased a new laptop from Dell.ca and when I received it the FROM label says DCR - Dell Returns in Richmond Hill. I looked them up and noticed they deal with refurbished products etc. Is this just a distribution warehouse or did I get a refurbished laptop from them? I sent Dell an e-mail for an explanation but haven't received any replies yet.

No, that's just the returns address for when a product gets returned, like when you refuse delivery for instance.

For example, Amazon.ca packages all have a return address of Mississauga no matter if it ships from Calgary, Vancouver, or Mississauga.

The from address doesn't necessarily mean that that is where it was sent from... It could just be the address that it needs to be sent back to if you are going to return it. You can usually tell from the box that the laptop is in if it has been returned and resealed...

I think this was discussed in another RFD thread. All new stuff ships with that "from" address

Also, from my experience, Dell ships from their Texas headquarters through Purolator. Some other courier does the shipping from US to Canada, and Purolator is the last mile courier. I have had to purchase other laptops in the past that isn't a Dell instead because Dell wanted me to wait a month or more for delivery.
