    Were you asked to consent to the delay? I am told that they need to have this consent in place to delay your order (FCC mandate).

    Mine is supposed to deliver on 11/10, and when I called the EPP services on Friday, I was reassured that all was on schedule, and that I would definitely have my laptop by 11/10 (even though earlier the delivery date was 11/14). They upgraded my shipping to overnight for free. I really hope it doesn't get delayed any more.

    PS: also she put in an "Expedite order" instruction on the order. Let's see if that actually means anything. What I am saying is, it might be beneficial to call.

    it's an estimated delivery date so they can change it if they want without any legal repercussions

    mine was a delay on the backlit keyboard

    Mine was delayed for 3 weeks. So I have cancelled it and buy a ASUS N55sf. Im really pleased with it.
