    How longs it beenin the shipping stage ? Reaching the shipping stage just means its out of boxing, not necessarily shipped yet. I understand the compulsion to keep constant tabs on it, though all it'll do is make you crazy, it should show up soon.

    I just ordered another M1210 on thursday, and it shipped today. Right away I got a tracking number. So I don't know why they didn't give you one.

    Maybe by shipped, it means that they are waiting for the carrier to come pick it up and then give a tracking number.

    Be patient. It takes between 8 and 10 days to arrive to you from the day you ordered it. The Purolator tracking is next thing to useless.

    I had my M1210 overnighted, and it arrived before the DHL website updated :).
