    Just wondering if anyone has recently gotten their HP from Costco, and if so, how long did it take from the date you ordered?

    Also (not sure if it has an effect or not) which laptop did you get?

    Thanks!

    I ordered my HP dv5000t on March 28 and it hasn't shipped yet. I check the tracking everyday and it's still "in process". They estimated the shipping date as April 7.

    Hey Iamapato
    How's the new 'puter?

    Glad to hear yours arrived quickly! Unfortunatly for me, I leave town this Monday for a week, so I guess I won't see mine until I return home.

    Enjoy your new laptop! I was at CompUSA yesterday, and checked out the dv5000t (and the dv1000t) and it looks sweeeeet!

    I got the dv8000t from Costco (via FedEx) yesterday. I love it so far. Early review of battery life is excellent from surfing wirelessly.

    It was ordered on 3/26 and actually shipped on 4/3. I got the "Shipped" email from them but there was no tracking data. Although coming from China, shipping is lightning fast after it leaves the factory (under 2 days).

    However, go to Costco's website and get the customer service number. You can call the automated system and it will give you the tracking number, instead of waiting for them to update their website. I picked it up yesterday and the tracking info is still not updated on their website.
