    I would say that is most definately the case that your new notebook has a reasonable chance of perhaps arriving sometime between next Wednesday and the following Thursday.

    Hope that answers your question.

    When it's in boxing it means it's being shipped from Malaysia. Dell does not build their computers in the U.S. No big surprise there. They get built in Malaysia and it then gets shipped to Dell's warehouse in the U.S. Then it gets shipped to you. So to calculate your approximate arrival date, take the day it went into boxing, and count 5 business days after that (3 for the trip from Malaysia to the U.S. and 2 for the 2 day shipping). For example I ordered mines on a Monday night, it went into boxing on Wednesday morning and I received it the following Tuesday.
