    Mine went into boxing today also, but on the automated line it never went through kitting, or testing. Just build to boxing or at least when I checked it never was which is crazy cause I've been checking 2 or 3 times a day.

    I am in boxing also since yesterday. I'm hoping that my next day shipping means that I have it for the weekend.

    Mine shipped today. No tracking number yet, but I just chatted with dell and got the tracking number. That was the best and easiest dell chat I've had!! Course, tracking number isn't in DHL's system yet.

    It seems that people for the most part are getting their computers shipped 2-3 days after it goes into boxing. That's not too bad.

    My ESD is Tuesday and I went into boxing today, so that's 5 days. I'm feeling pretty good. No delays thus far!

    I also have a midnight blue laptop that went into boxing sometime yesterday morning. Maybe they're waiting to ship yours so that all the notebooks finished within the week will go out on the same flight. I've also heard that the boxing stage includes the flight from their plant to the distribution center in TN. So 2-3 days after it goes into boxing is pretty good!

    But yeah, boxing is the worst lol. Mine skipped testing too, or at least it was a short test session. I'm not sure if they work 24 hour days or not!
