    I ordered it from HP.com on July 13 and they give the estimated ship date of July 26 (Monday). I checked the status of it on HP.com and it just gives the estimated ship.

    Has it been where some of you guys have received your notebook and HP.com's site still had the estimated ship date online?

    I'm chomping at the bit.. ;) I received my leather briefcase for it last week.

    it usally comes a lot earlier then it says it will. My first one came and then the website said the next day the shipping info. Mine both came at least 8 days early, hope this helps.

    I would say it depends, but the time generally ranges from 1 to 2 weeks. 07/26 probably is what you are going to expect, since FeDex doesn't do the international shipping over Sunday, so if you can't see the tracking info by Friday night, wait on Monday has to be the only choice. But if you do see a tracking number, say tomorrow morning (say Thursday), then Friday must be the deliver date, ignore the FeDex estimated time since they tend to strecth the timeline although they do it faster than the website says.[8D]

    I ordered a r3000z on July 11. They said it would be shipped on July 20 and it was shipped yesterday (7-20) from China. It then went to Aklaska and left there yesterday at 3:30pm. That is all the information I have recieved.

    Uhh, I hate waiting too :p

    Just ordered mine on 07/16 and I finally received my tracking number today - 07/22. However, it hasn't been scanned, so I don't know where exactly it's at. My estimated ship date was the 27th. Hopefully I get it by tomorrow.
