    at that point your notebook is ready to be put on a plane to ship from Taiwan. 6-days a week Dell charters a Boeing 747 from China Airlines and fills it with 25,000 or so notebook. This 747 then flies into Nashville Tennessee. From there it is shipped to you. This process takes 3-4 days depending on your selected shipping method.

    Abaxter is right. It takes around 3 business days for boxing. Once it gets to nashville, your status will change to shipped. Dell uses an independent contractor to take the notebooks from Nashville to the regional UPS/FedEx/DHL center, so you won't be able to track your laptop until it is physcial received at your regional center (usually 1-2days after it says shipped).
