    I order my stuff from GentechPC and they always get stuff out fast.. If its in stock it should ship out the same day ...

    There are other resellers on the boards as well which should offer similar services..

    I ordered my Asus G73JW through amazon (love no tax) at 11am on tuesday 09/28, received wednesday 09/29 at 9am- less than 24 hrs (impressive). Although UPS dropped the shipping box when it arrived- LCD was damaged and had to get a replacement. Missed the 1 business day order according to Amazon customer support, received my replacement on Friday 10/01. As long as you pay attention to their shipping times and cut off times at check out, you can always guarantee (at least 99% of the time) that your item will arrive according to their date that they list.

    Amazon has always been the fastest shipper that I shopped with. If you have Amazon prime- there are always free trials going around the net for the trial membership- 1 day shipping with Amazon Prime is only $3.99

    My experience with amazon has always been A+, its just the shippers- UPS, Fedex, USPS- have been at a B-.

    Btw, replacement is working perfectly fine and loving it.

    I had been on the pre-order list for the G53JW at PowerNorebooks.com. On Friday I switched over to a G73JW, added a bunch of custom stuff and it will deliver on Wednesday. In my book that was pretty good. :)

    I'd recommend GenTechPC. Service is top notch and processing/shipping time is lightning fast ;)

    Well if you have prime, might as well splurge the $3.99 and get 1 day. You will get the next day if you beat the cut off time. $3.99 vs tax...

    I ordered mine from gentechpc. Because of the delay of unit in may-june, my order took one to begin the process. When it started, in a couple of day my JH was gaming on my laps.
