We always tell our customers that we'll deliver services in x days, but then actually complete the work in a few days less.

Set an intermediate expectation level and make sure you deliver better than expected. Common practice.
Dell is an exception in my experiences.

Would someone explain to me WHEN this has EVER happened???

I ordered the PC day before yesterday... Dell shows an estimated delivery date of June 13 - June 15, which is perfect since I am off M-W... and the damned thing is being delivered today!!! So, now I have to take tomorrow off to be home for the delivery because I can't go pick it up at UPS because it won't fit in the S2000!!!

Murphy's Law... you want it early it comes late... you want it on time... it comes early!
Yes, Dell does deliver earlier than promised.

Apple on the other hand...
