Longest time to provision a dedicated server?

I'm curious after seeing people say they have waited upwards of 3 weeks for a dedicated server to be provisioned, what is the longest time it has taken for a server to be provisioned to you, and from where?
The longest time it's taken me to get a server is about 1 1/2 weeks.

im going to guess 3 weeks @ Delimiter?
currently, im seeing that as normal..
the most i have ever waited for a Dedicated server to be provisioned is 2 days 3 hours.
average provisioning for me is usually within 6 hours amazingly (and having servers in multiple locations i found this surprising, even when i ordered a customized server)
Oh, other then the 1.5 weeks i waited for Delimiter, then called it quits.. considering they said it would be provisioned "Shortly" but it never was.
The long/nonexistant provisioning times seem to be a recurring theme with delimiter.
I think it was 2 weeks with OVH. My first and last dedi:p
i just find it weird that delimiter is taking weeks to do it, and blaming it on backlog from the weather, but there's a few other places in Atlanta, which are churning servers out by the rack daily.
but anyway, i should commenting on Delimiter.. i might get flamed again for "attacking" fellow hosts
The longest time I've had was with Delimiter, was around ~2 weeks. The first one was setup in 2-3 days and the second was delayed because of the snow storm that crossed over the south.
Seems most other providers do <1 day for setup like @qps and Dacentec .
Doesn't OVH actually say the estimate provisioning time now?
Some people waited for months for their 3 EUR Kimsufi and in the end got canceled.
It was last year this crazy 2,99€ servers.
About 3 months and still no server. The guilty shall not be named. I got pissed waiting and asked for a refund, those guys agreed.
Mine have always been delivered within the timeframe they specified (4 business days).
1 month
when i buy 2,99€ server from OVH
another than that 3 day is the longest time
My first dedicated server that I personally paid for was ordered from Delimiter on January 30th. I'm still waiting for delivery, lol.
@MarkTurner I received mine from Delimiter on Friday. Hopefully yours comes through today. I tagged Mark so maybe he can help you.
3 weeks,
when I have a server with Instantdedis.
It took a bit over a month in my case. Longest I've waited for a dedicated.
Otherwise, it's usually same day or two - three days max, unless it's been something custom.
2 Weeks + 4 days with Hetzner
3 Weeks + 6 days with Oneprovider in their Paris location. I got a bill for the second month before getting the server. Although they let me cancel it and refunded my money. So, that's not too bad.
that massive insane order for 3 euro kimsufi was make them suffer too after all, i hear they recheck all the payment manually, and in 24 hours after they put it on advertsing, it like 1000 order or maybe more, i got myself canceled 3 days after put my order at there.
15days, with Delimiter, any other server i've ever had was 1-2 days.
26 days with oneprovider for a location they call as tier5.
24 days with Delimiter, but, it's the cheapest/highest memory 4 core server I've ever gotten....
Any news on the average wait to provision delimiter dedi's? I ordered on Sunday and submitted a ticket to ask but no reply..
How about never? kimsufi @OVH
I ordered on February 1st. Still waiting.
2 and a half minutes. That was my 4th dedi with OVH. All my others have been done within 2 minutes, usually before I've got the email from PayPal confirming the payment.
Some people have been waiting 3 weeks. and still no server.
firstheberg.com - Took them 2 months
I ordered a dual 5150 on January 31st from delimiter, and I'm still waiting.
Out of curiosity and as a point of reference, who else is currently waiting for the delivery of their dedicated server from delimiter? Please post when you ordered and which server you ordered. I'm sure there are some others who would also appreciate that information!
I have a feeling that they're using one of these to build and install their servers, so it could take a while:
Please post when you ordered and which server you ordered.
My Feb 1st order is for a 5150 as well.
Ordered from Zeneva and never received it lol
