    I'm not trying to be a wise guy but you should call Dell tomorrow. They can give you a better idea of when it will be ready for shipping.

    my boxing took 2 days :) and then it went to shipping stage. (btw shipping takes 1 day and then it really ships out) Same here if dell told you that your order is next day ... don't expect that because I was told the same and its still 3-5 business days. O well, I'll get mine in 1-2 days because I live 1 state above texas (one of there hub, Waco Regional Hub)
    GOod luck and have fun when it arrives!

    how do you know which hub it is at? does it just matter where you live?

    i live close to TN so does that mean it will ship from there?

    No, the status thing is updated instantly when there is a change. They don't work on Sundays to my knowledge so there can be no updates.

    I've been in Boxing since last Friday morning(my 4th day now).

    I've seen people report that their laptops have shipped or have been sent to the couier(DHL, UPS, FEDEX) on Saturdays and Sundays.

    Dell's chartered 747 flies out from Dell's Penang factory 6 days a week via Taipei to Nashville. Notebooks get flown in everyday except Tuesday based on Air China's flight time table:
    http://calec.china-airlines.com/ecgo/en/time.asp

    This is also a good description of a time line of the process your laptop goes through after an order.
