    Anyone know how much fedex charges for customs? The ebay lady said she will set the value to 500$. So how much would i have to pay?

    Can anyone enlighten me, my Envy has an estimated delivery date of the 29th, but it is still in Shanghai with a shipment exception. Anyone have any ideas?

    Looks like some flights will be departing soon. There's one to Oakland in about an hour and one to LA in 2 hours.

    Who knows if we'll be put on those flights...

    edit: Now I see flights to Ontario and San Diego too.

    I don't know man...when I called the cust resol line, she originally offered me $50. I asked if she could do more and she said she was authorized to offer me up to 10%, which is the $113 credit that I got. Maybe they changed their policy...dunno

    those aren't deliveries. Almost every Fedex hub works 24-7 except for customer deliveries.

    Correct. Also, 2-day shipping with HP doesn't include Saturday delivery either as someone claimed earlier.

    Woot, mine departed from Memphis and is on the way to Nashville (hopefully). May get it tomorrow if they will deliver it ahead of schedule instead of waiting for the delivery date.

    Since I'm only a couple states above Tennessee (from Chicago, IL), I might be getting it before the estimated delivery date. I am not sure if there are any flights between the 2 places so Fedex may opt to just driving my package to Chicago instead.

    Arrived at FedEx location in Memphis, Jul 25, 2010 5:44 AM utc-6

    Mine shiped on friday and it says estimated delivery on the 28th. It is NJ, and I live in Philly. It is so close, is there any chance that it will be delivered early? Seems sill it is so close all the way from shanghai and it will take another 3 days to go like 60 miles.

    you're from the UK right? VAT is 17.5%, I believe. so it would be around $87.5 US

    Mines just changed to "in transit" from "departed Fedex location, Mephis". I assme it is going to hit the highway (which makes sense since there are no flights going from Memphis to Chicago today)

    They were going to offer me more, but any discounts they would have given me would conflict with my 30% Bing Cash Back (or as so they say).

    I'm waiting for my email back within 24 hours. It should arrive soon, but knowing HP, their meaning of time is a little skewed.
