    Wondering if anyone has received their DV1000t from Costco?

    I ordered mine from Costco (saved over $260 from HP's price!). Costco, prior to purchase, had a message which said "Allow 15-20 business days for delivery", then said something like "estilmate does not reflect actual delivery time"... huh???

    Bottom line, unlike HP's website, which apparently gives you an estimated delivery date, Costco.com doesn't. Has anyone received their DV1000t which they ordered from www.costco.com, and if so, how long did it take?

    (Love Costco's six month return policy!)

    Thanks

    (I am very patient, as long as I don't have to wait..... ) :eek:

    I received the 5000t and it took an extra week and did not get a tracking number. Got an email that it was shipped and received it the next day. It comes from China So when they email you, it has be sent out a couple of days already. Keep a low profile on the 6 month policy or they will change it.

    Wanna know what Costco's return policy on large ticket items (furniture, etc) is, according the the woman I spoke with at www.costco.com?

    LIFETIME! They'll even pick it up from your house, NO CHARGE. You can change your mind at any time, for the life of the product, and they'll accept it as a return, and refund all of your money.

    Amazing...

    I ordered mine the evening of the 13th and received it yesterday. The estimated ship date was 3/21, I got notice that it shipped the morning of the 22nd, it arrived yesterday.

    The downside is that Costco does not give you tracking, so I did not know exactly when to expect it. FedEx showed up yesterday AM, and I was not here. I had to go to their facility to pick it up after 5PM.

    Thanks Jonezart
    I ordered mine on Friday, March 17, so if HP's schedule hasn't changed, that means I might get mine on the 28th, or thereabouts.

    I called HP today, and the guy told me to expect it to ship on April 10th! I leave town for a week on April 10th, so I sure hope it gets here before then!

    Thanks for the info. I think I trust your estimate more then the guy from HP!

    (I didn't get ANY estimated ship date from Costco. I saw a post when I ordered, which said allow 15 -20 business days for delivery!)

    Current status on Costco's site only says "In Process".

    Hey I'm patient, as long as I don't have to wait! :)

    The website doesn't say, so I'd guess it's the 533Mhz, but I don't really know for sure.

    I've called them in the past, and they always answer pretty quickly and are very helpful. You might want to give 'em a call.
