    Just ordered a maxed out m17x. How long will it take to arrive? Is the delivery estimate of 2.5 weeks really accurate? If so, this is going to be the longest 2 weeks of my life >.<

    Usually 2.5 weeks is correct. However after production of your machine the time can be cut down an extra week or few days. Really what your watching out for is how long it takes them to build your system, and whether or not the testing phase presents with any errors or not. If it does it will slow down your production time a bit more while the system is being inspected.
    So yeh usually 2 weeks is about correct if everything goes smoothly.

    For me I have experienced one M17x taking 3 days to build and the other took 5 days to build. Both still only took 2 - 3 weeks to get to me overall. No more than 3 weeks though. I hate waiting as well LOL. :p Hang in there ;) :D chiefs.

    Cheers. :)

    Whats your order status showing as? I ordered mine on the 22nd September and got a call from the delivery company today to arrange delivery.

    My order status changed to 'Build Complete' last Thursday, so about 2 weeks to build and another week to deliver to Australia (I'm in Melbourne) which seems reasonable to me.
