    How long does it take to move from boxing stage to shipping?

    :confused: I ordered my 1520 (Ruby Red) on July 31st and ESD is August 17th. I checked my order status over the phone and the automated service states that it is in the boxing stage. Upon reading the threads on various forums I've realised that it may take over a week before it ships. Does it really?

    I entered testing this morning at ~11:30 (at least that's when I woke up and found out :D), and moved to boxing by 12:30.
