    Is it just the weather? or is it just a high volume of sales on there part?, should call i Fedex/HP for some compensation o.o, but probably it was 5-7 days from Dec 8. so i get nada.

    Edit:^ yeah same quest as ccol

    sweet you know anything about Indiana? I ordered two laptops seperately and i got my first one yesterday.. they were BOTH suppose to arrive on the same day. Both Hps, same specs,... one got here faster then the other -.-

    Edit: also my Fedex tracker stopped showing the estimated shipping date, is that bad?

    what does your tracking info look like now.. mine says in transit.. (see above) I'm just looking to see what step is next. Has mine been released from customs or does it still have that step? I'm so upset.. delivery estimate said Dec 12 by 10:30am :mad: :(

    Apparently, FedEx drivers are illiterate.

    I saw the truck drive right past my house.
    Two minutes later "Delivery exception."

    I called, they said the driver said my address did not exist.

    They said thy're going to call him to send him back, but I'mma give it another 10 minutes before I call in angry again.

    This has been such a stupid experience.

    I contacted fed ex and they said my shipment is stuck here because of insufficient paperwork from Shanghai. I then called HP and the guy that answered immediately connected me with a supervisor who said they are aware of the situation and are working with fed ex to get the paperwork to them. She said once it leaves customs it will be at my door within 24 hours.

    When will it leave customs.. who knows. I'm over being upset.. at this point I just hope it gets here at all. :confused:

    How long do the bulk of HP orders take? I ordered mine the 11th and am hoping to get it before Christmas. How long ago did you guys order yours, and were they customized models or prefab. Mine is a customized model from HP online.

    called fedex and hp to find out what is going on... still not entirely sure when it will be resolved... the same missing paperwork issue that was stated in previous posts. hp said that they are giving a 10% discount (order subtotal) for orders stuck in customs due to this problem... just call them once you receive your laptop... we shall see what happens. he guaranteed it would be here by xmas eve.

    Wow, sorry to hear it came with the wrong CPU, make sure you get some kind of upgrade for free if you have to send it back again. You deserve it, haha.

    Ill be sure to post how long it takes to get mine and if all the parts are right. I keep checking the configuration status and it has been stuck on the wave (picking process) stage since I ordered it the 10th. Im hoping they just dont update that page and that my laptop is getting ready to ship tommorow like its supposed to...We will see.

    the people at hp seem to have no recollection of any "credit" that the guy told me about over the phone the other day... make sure if anyone tells you that they are giving you a credit you get their name and "make sure they document it in your file" as the guy just told me today... wow hp... didn't expect that from them.

    This is an old thread but as all of the threads I found on this were old, I will still post this for the benefit of people like me searching for info on the infamous clearance delay problem. This is still happening. I ordered a laptop and it made it from China to Alaska in one day. Then it went into clearance delay where it has set unmoved for a couple of days. According to Fed Ex my laptop is part of a shipment of 744 that were lacking the necessary paperwork from HP to clear customs. "As soon as the paperwork arrives from HP to Fed Ex, it will be presented to customs and hopefully be on its way. Amazing that with all the computers HP brings in from China every week, that they can't get the paperwork right the first time.

    Apparrently, mine is stuck (clearance delay) at Anchorage, AK since 8PM last night as well...

    I called HP concern that they should do something with the paperwork to speed up the release... the dude name Chuck (refuse to give me his last name) told me their shipping policy is 5-7 "business day" so.. pretty much something like "holdon to your horses... and don't bug us until the 7th "business day" is up. That would be Nov 1st by the way, it is shipped on the 23rd.

    I'm working against a schedule and I need to have it ASAP, didn't really expect this delay; otherwise, I would pay to get it ship sooner... but I doubt if that helps since I have the feeling that there's a good number of PCs being hold if ship with in the last 7 days.

    There're more ppl like us here:

    To those exeriencing a Fedex clearence Customs delay due to HPs failure to send in the proper paperwork.

    I talked and they said the paperwork is done and is in the process of being..processed (possibly by customs).

    I called HP and complained and they transfered me 2 times, and told them the date i was expecting it and that it is hps fault for not sending in proper paperwork, and on top of that i had to wait 15 days for it to get made.

    They kind lady on the telephone gave me 80 dollars off my computer

    so call, and complain!
