    Not anymore. It's now 15% I had considered getting it, but since I'm expecting a $50 BB GC, I'll just buy it there for about $15.25

    Mine should be in Memphis, TN in about four hours. I'll wait till I know what local FedEx it ends up at, before trying and picking it up tomorrow.

    Ahh.. Thanks. I can take a guess at Newark from previous discussions and the departure time fits. So it's landing around 2 am.. Guess I'll see it Monday. Good Luck to everyone else. Stay strong.

    No... but I used FlightAware.com and there are no direct Fedex Flights from Anchorage to KLAX or anywhere near CA. The time when my Envy14 departed (from Fedex.com) is the same as the departure time of a particular Fedex flight from Anchorage to Memphis. It's only my speculation, considering that Memphis is the central hub and the fact that others' Envy14s also went to Memphis.

    Got the facility that my package will most likely be at tomorrow from the international customer service representative.

    The standard customer service person kept saying my package was currently in Kansas, as he didn't know where Anchorage was actually located. Ignoring the fact my Envy is on a flight headed for Memphis, TN. :eek:

    Alright. Quick question. I ordered on the 12th and was given an estimated ship date of the 22nd, which gives HP 10 days to build it. The order was dropped on the 13th and went into production on the 14th.


    Is there a good chance HP could end up shipping it earlier than the 22nd, or should I be prepared for a delay??

    Just wanted to give you guys an update: 5 emails, and 6 bing forum posts later, 5% was changed to 30%, $622.49 on its way! Good luck to the rest of you guys, don't give up and stay on them and you will get it.

    I think you guys have me on the pm list for 30%, you can take me off now :)

    I'm in a similar position. As of this post (10:15PM EST, July 16th) the order is still in production. Hopefully, it will ship either tomorrow on the beginning of next week, meaning the 19th. I'd really like to have it ship before the 22nd, because that is a Thursday and 2 Day shipping will mean monday of next week, not Saturday.

    After hearing the reviews about excessive keyboard flex, I'm definitely getting an extra $100 off. No way on Earth I'm paying $1,000+ for this machine. Luxury notebooks don't have keyboard flex. Shame on HP for cheaping out. They should've stuck with the Envy 15's keyboard layout/design/schematics!

    I haven't heard of any "excessive" flex...

    Anyways, departed at 5:03 today, no ETA...
    sigh, lets see how this works

    On an off-topic note, inception was ridiculously good

    I havent heard of excessive flex either....just a little that people say isnt noticeable without trying to flex it.

    In response to the 22nd ship date, mine shipped 1 day prior to ETD.


    to go off of your off topic note, inception is the first movie ive wanted to see in theatres in about 5 years. It will be the second if gone to in 5 years though, because i had to be dragged to the hideousness of Avatar.

    I am trying to get my BCB honored as well. I purchased while it was 30%, but I received nothing in my BCB account and no email from them.

    I have a case open, but they are extremely non-responsive, taking about 36 hours to respond to my initial request. After that they changed CSR's on me and asked me for the same info I had already posted. I re-submitted my PDF receipt, and now it's been another 36 hours and I have heard nothing.

    You said you sent 5 emails already? That makes me think you are getting a much quicker response time than me...Is that due to you posting on the forum? Does that hurry them up? I'm getting very frustrated just waiting for them...

    My response time by email was about one every 24 hours. I think that posting on the forum definately helped move things along a bit. I'm not sure if the forum actually did anything but it definately felt better to me than just sitting and waiting.

    Damn. That's over two weeks. I better cross my fingers! If it doesn't ship by next Thursday, I'm going to have to draw up contingency plans.


    How long does it take from shipping day to reach their destinations, particularly those in California?

    Quick question about the PM system, do I need a certain amount of posts before I have access? Or am I just doing wrong. And then is it possible to forward your pms to email? Sorry, I'm just being a real "noob" at pms on this forum.

    Edit: Found the problem need another post before it unlocks. Stupid me.

    On another subject which where the other discounts stackable with the hp student discount? With my luck I might have to use those.

    If customs are normal (meaning you get a shipment exception for customs in shanghai and a regular clearance delay in Alaska like I did because HP is terrible with paperwork) well. You get it in 5 days (monday to friday)

    Once it ships out from alaska there's a few flights. one to oakland, one to memphis. one to...wherever the third one went.


    If you're unlucky you'll get trapped in alaska over the weekend like the poor souls who aren't getting theirs til the 20th

    i believe 2.0 said you need a number of posts before you can personally PM people...it's to stop spammers i think. go get like 10 posts and i think you should be fine..it might even be 5, i'm not sure. yes you can forward pm's to your email. at User CP, go to the settings and options column and click edit options. then, check the options you want under "private messages"

    i think all discounts besides BCB are stackable....here's the official owners lounge for the envy 14 for reference:

    You can try "multidipping" alongside fatwallet, Mr. Rebates, Big Crumbs, and E-Bates. I tried triple-dipping, with the first 3, but Big Crumbs didn't go through for one reason or another. I'm hoping BCB doesn't get canceled. If you're using student discount, my advice is stack all 4 cashbacks with it and try to get up to $200 back from HP. I've heard of people getting more.

    I'm just afraid that they might cancel some of the cashbacks on me. And frankly I didn't know you could stack all of them like that. I assumed since you were required to go through their webpages that wasn't possible. Could you explain how you went about "multidipping". Thanks. :confused:
