    Is there a current delay?

    I ordered my notebook on the evening of July 8th. The thing is still in production, with an estimated ship date of tomorrow. :|

    What're the odds it's going to ship today? I fear the cutoff has already been met overseas.

    I ordered mine around the same time as you. I just got an email stating it has shipped. I think there might be a slight delay in production. Based on some other members, it usually ships a couple of days before scheduled dispatch.

    When you say "just got an email", do you mean today? :D

    Ah, thanks for letting me know. At least I can delay suicide for another few hours. =D

    It will probably miss the daily Fedex cutoff, as it has conveniently done so on every HP laptop I've ordered.

    No big deal. The shipping is really fast, and has never taken the 5-7 days that HP estimates it at. In fact, my last laptop showed up in 2 days.

    But once it gets to FedEx shipping it will get to you in just a couple of days.

    Nope, not everyone's order gets shipped early, at least not mine. I was promised it would be shipped today and guess what, it is :D I just got the tracking number today and yes, it missed the cut-off just like someone mentioned before. LOL.

    I hope mine makes the cutoff tomorrow. I leave Thursday night. x_X

    Annnyways, the things I'd do to get it shipped tomorrow and here in two days. Knowing my luck, it'll probably miss and be 4-5 days. QQ
