    Damn farelli I dont know what to say. It seems for some reason everyone who ordered early july is just going through hell with getting there laptops. I dont know whats up with it. But last time I checked there is another flight arriving in nashville here in a couple of hours so I'll keep my fingers crossed that yours is on that plane bud. Maybe if it ships tommorow and you have next day shipping you'l get it monday or tuesday? Hope all goes well and I hope my grandmom is home when the delivery guy comes on monday so Ill have my laptop for first day of college!

    Do you think the 3-4 days of boxing includes weekend days?

    It's possible. It's hard to define "weekend" due to the the time difference since it's built in Malaysia. But there are indeed 6 flights a week from Malaysia to the US that deliver the laptops. So in a way, yes weekends are included.

    The whole situation with you and crash is certainly odd... boxing shouldn't take this long. Then again, mine is still in boxing... maybe we're all waiting for one big plane?

    lol yep! Went from build to testing in literally, less than 24 hours. Now I just hope I don't run into the whole boxing problem of staying in boxing limbo for the next year.

    I just wonder if I should've gone for a T7500... would there have been a good difference between T7300 and T7500.

    Well all it says when I call the order status line is that the order has shipped & is in transit to the regional carrier. No tracking number available at this time. I am not holding my breath on getting it tomorrow. Would be nice since I have waited over 6 weeks... Either way I am just happy that its not in the evil "build" stage anymore...

    Have you tried calling 1-800-call-dhl and say track then your tracking # and see if you have better luck. I know it was updated way before the internet was for me!

    Mine went into boxing yesterday (08/24). My ESD remains unchanged at 08/30.
    I'm hoping that they are planning to get out a ton of these before the holiday weekend!
