    Folks:

    Was out for most of the night, just got back. Earlier, before I left at 6:30PM, the order status was still in "Boxing", as it has been for two days.

    When I got back, the Order Status says "Shipped".

    But here's the weird thing: going to detailed status, the site says Shipping Prep AND Shipment was done on THURSDAY, August 17. It's still the 16th (as of right now!).

    Wonder what that means -- if it did go out already, or if they still have it and that it WILL go out tomorrow!

    It could be shipped since most of their notebooks are made in Asia so technically it is the 17th there.

    Where does it say that it is still in boxing? All mine says is that it is "In Production." Or is yours the American website and maybe it's different?

    Yes - I think Malaysian time might apply there.

    Stupid time differences, I got all excited last night when FEAR combat said zero time remaining. Then still couldnt download it and realised it went off my system clock, so I had to wait for the world to catch up.

    I thought that what the "Boxing" stage meant and why Boxing takes three days ... to make the trek to the US?

    From the threads here, I had thought that "Shipped" meant "shipped" to the consumer after arrival in Nashville.
