    Hi everyone!

    My laptop finally shipped 2 days ago, and the Purolator tracking site says this:

    TRACKING DETAILS

    PIN xxxxxxxxxx
    Status In Transit in U.S.
    Date/Time AUGUST 28, 2007 AT 15:30
    Depot U.S.A. GROUND LINEHAUL

    If I live in Montreal, Canada, is there any chance that I will have the laptop by tomorrow?

    I'm wondering the same thing. (except I'm in British Columbia). How long does it take for it to go from "transit in US" to my door? Does it take a long time at the border?

    Will it change to "in canada" once it crosses the border or is it gonna reach my house before it updates? thanks guys, im getting so anxious.

    It is in transit 2-3 days from Texas to Canada. I seem to remember hearing that all go through Toronto Purolator sortation. It then takes a day or two to get to you.

    Im on Niag Falls and my system arrived Weds after being shipped fm Texas Sunday.

    Well then, since purolator doesnt work on weekends, you waited 3 business days to get your system. That means I should technically get it tomorrow :D
