HP dv6t, dv7t Select Edition / Quad Edition (6XXX series) order status discussion

If all goes according to schedule, I could get mine a day early.

 

Hello everyone! First off I like to thank all of the members for their help and input regarding these computers. Everyones comments have been helpful to me. This is the first time that I'm posting anything here. I just received my shipping notification this morning and thought I would share this information. My order has shipped EARLY, 6 days before the est. ship and built date of May 2nd. I have not called them to complain to get my laptop shipped faster, it just happened. I order the laptop on April 9th.

Apr 09, 2011 $1,134.73 HP Pavilion dv7t Quad Edition customizable Notebook PC Item shipped

 

It actually shippid this morning for me, what do you know. 3/21 order.

 

Congrats man, its about time for you. Hope you like it and all is well.

 

FedEx currently has 4 planes on their way to Anchorage from the US. Perhaps one of those will pick up our little babies and bring them closer to home!

 

Glad to hear it - its about time.

 

same here, 26 mar order. wahoo!

 

Does anyone have the link that shows the location of your fedex package? I can't search the thread, it returns no results for any query I do.

 

FlightAware > Live Federal Express Corporation Flight Status

That doesn't show your actual package, but the FedEx planes in flight. Once it leaves Anchorage, you should be able to figure out which plane it is and follow it.

BTW, I have NEVER been able to get the search option to work on this site.

 

After almost four days in a clearance delay in Alaska, its been finally released.



IF it arrives tomorrow as stated, I will have received my notebook only 1 MONTH AND ELEVEN DAYS after placing my order.

Not too bad eh ?

 

Tx for the link. Very cool! At least I'm not alone in the lack of search. Frustrating though!

 

Still in clearance delay at Memphis....

At least HP went so far as to actually build the darn thing. It would've been nice if they provided the proper documentation to clear customs in a timely manner though.

 

I had this same problem about 8 years ago with a compaq I ordered. sat 2 days in customs. I was hoping they had fixed that particular process problem by now.

 

dv6 with the 2630qm, 6770m, the 9 cell, and no Bluetooth

 

I got an email this morning from HP saying my dv7t Quad has Shipped - EARLY!
Ordered 4/10, est build date = 5/2, shipped 4/27. No FedEx status yet just that shipping info received. It also says est delivery = 4/29. I did not pay extra for 2 day shipping. We'll see...

 

Geez - happy for you but makes no sense that yours ships early and still no word on mine.

 

Specs? I ordered a dv6t on the same day and I also have 5/2 as est. build date.

My Specs are:

i7-2630QM, Radeon HD 6770M, 8GB DDR3, 640GB 7200RPM HDD, 6 cell, NO Bluetooth, NO Blu-ray.

 

Now it shows shipping from Shanghai and "Package received after FedEx cutoff" Est Delivery updated to 5/2.

ha.. lucky you.. I dont have Blu-ray nor Bluetooth and still no update.. I hope there are no delays atleast if not shipping early.. fingers crossed..

 

Sucks to be us Homer, got a delay notice last night with revised date of 04/29, and I ordered mine on 04/04. And yet orders after the 4th have shipped.

I'm aware at this point I shouldn't be surprised this is how HP operates, as we've heard these stories for the past month and a half, but it's sill annoying. >.<

 

I ordered 3 weeks before you and still no update. This is getting ridiculous. I am calling resolutions for the 10th time in 2 days right now. They are such fail .

 

Let us know how it goes. I contacted CS this morning telling them that orders placed after mine were shipping. They best they could come up with was "I don't think HP would do that" - what a waste of time it is talking to them.

 

Just spent the last hour on the phone with FedEx and HP. As of about 45 minutes ago, FedEx still hadn't received paperwork from HP for the 529 units still on "Clearance Delay" in Memphis. Calling HP, I ended up back with the Resolutions dept. Initially, according to rep HP had already sent the necessary paperwork. Explaining to her that I had, just 15 minutes before, spoken to FedEx, she put me on hold, then came back to tell me that the "latest" info she had was from yesterday morning ... that I could track my status on the FedEx site.

I requested and got the California HQ phone. Speaking to a rep there and asking what could be done to build a fire under someone, all she could tell me was that she was "escalating" the issue to her manager and that that manager would update me later today by email. Yada! Yada!

 

can anyone provide me with a model number of a dv7 that was ordered after march 24th so that I can give it to HP. Just the model number not the order number.
THey said there are no models ordered after mine that have shipped. Which I know from this forum is a lie.

 

I don't see a model # on my order. I am wondering if my order was somehow expedited? I originally ordered a quick ship dv7-4295 then later found this forum and all the coupon codes. I returned the dv7-4295 to get a new, better model for less $$. In my email to HP about why I was returning the 4295, I sent them screen shots showing the 4295 but the "Demo" video was for a dv7t Quad, umber color, USB 3.0 (4295 did not have USB 3), extra speakers, etc. Maybe calling them out on their errors got me bumped up?

 

Where do you get the "model number" from? What is yours?

 

Mine is XW899AV

But thats the product number on my order. I do not know where to find.

 

My order has the same product number.

 

Same product # for me too.

 

I think ours are on the same pallet. I just setup email notifications. yay!

 

Who were the miracle workers that got theirs to ship the day after they called? Lol, can you call and work your magic on mine, I had no luck after the call last night.

 

Still no word on my order that was supposed to ship yesterday. The lack of communication is ridiculous.

 

Should be on your order confirmation. Also on the actual product, should be on the bottom or wherever HP put tags for serial number etc.

 

That's great news! My order was placed on 4/10 with an estimated ship date of 5/3. I hope you bring me good karma...though mine is a dv6t qe.

 

I ordered my DV6 on 4/03 with an est ship date of 4/22. They postponed me yesterday to 5/05, but this morning I got a shipping confirmation.

 

Now Im lovin that EARLY!!!!

 

The only differences between yours and mine:
1. I ordered 18 days before you.
2. I ordered both batteries.
3. They shipped yours.

Would you be willing to PM your order number to me?
(not your phone number or other identifying info)
I'd love to give somebody in Resolutions an order number that's shipping that far ahead of mine.

 

That would be an interesting conversation

 

If you do get that order number and call resolutions please post what their statement is. I would love to know.

 

I can tell you what HP will say.... I will sound a lot like DUHHHHHHHH

 

THIS.

They wont have an explanation, but they will have many apologies, unfortunately

 

Many apologies and no solution. You STILL wont get your computer >.< at least that is what I would predict.

 

Anyone still stuck on Int'l Shipment Release?

This is getting really annoying how FedEx is holding it so long.

Edit: Just called FedEx. All laptops in Alaska at the moment will be flown out tomorrow.

 

As I predicted: Not going to make the 28th delivery date. I wonder if they will make the 29th.

Did they happen to comment on the arrival time?

 

I ordered my dv6 on 4/7 with a shipping date of 4/28. That's my original shipping date, not a delayed one.
Is it looking like I'll be getting my first (dreaded) delay notice?

 

Not necessarily. Flying it out tomorrow could mean they fly it out at about 3am Alaska time, which is about 8am here. A 5 hour flight (max) will take it to 1pm. That would leave them a 3 hour window to get it to my house. They said by 4:30 i would get the unit. I think they can do it!

 

Ordered: 3/26
Ship date 1: 4/11
Ship date 2: 4/19
Ship date 3: 5/3

I really don't mind the wait that much. After taxes, the original price was $975. Now it is down to $790 ($743 before taxes) after two 10% discounts for the delays. Heck, maybe I can squeeze another 10% out of them. Just happy that I do have a good computer during the wait.

 

2 10%? We only get the one time 10% delay compensation.

 

Possible, but unlikely. It's in the morning that they load the trucks for the day's delivery. I would love to have it arrive tomorrow, but I can't see it getting to Memphis, being resorted, flown to the Twin Cities, and out on the trucks for delivery in time.
