boxing stage does include transit to country.

just thought i'd throw that out there. i was talking to a rep (very nicely) and he said that though it's in boxing, it is in transit to the united states. they simplify the process as "boxing." im presuming shipped is just when it goes from their airplane to carrier (such as fedex, dhl, ups, etc). so for those of you wondering why you've been in boxing for longer than others, your laptop could have been manufactured in a different place, you might live in a different place, or they may only have certain flights that go off at certain times, thus some people might have to wait longer for that twice-a-week flight or whatever the situation is like.

 

There was an article a while back describing the process, and yes it was said that the boxing stage included shipping to the correct country. Then once it got there, and it got on the domestic courier, the status would change to "in transit".
