    How long does it usually take to ship the product after ordering it?

    I have found that the steps prior to boxing generally happen within 24 hours--the boxing stage takes about 3 days (this is when your laptop is being shipped from Malaysia to the states. After that it's up to UPS.

    YMMV

    My m140 came in 10 days, my e1505 in 14.

    You should receive it in about 1 to 2 weeks after you order it. Like vespoli stated, it takes about 3 business days for boxing stage, and then it takes another 24 hours to go from the warehouse in Tennessee to the Fedex/DHL/UPS center for shipment.

    I ordered very early on the 28th... and just checked and it has switched to shipping. My apartment has football stadium atmosphere in anticipation... I can't see the tracking number yet, so can't obsess over that yet.
