When should I expect my dv6500T?

Hi All, I ordered dv6500T last tue sept 11 and I chose the 2 days shipping. the estimated ship date is Sept 20. Mostly likely when should I expect it to be delivered in front of my door? What were your experiences when it comes to HP shipping schedules?

cheers!

 

Sept. 20 + 2 days = Sept. 22
Sept. 22 = Saturday
Saturday --> nearest weekday = Monday
Monday = Sept. 24

 

Oh... to bad, the person whom I asked to bring it for me here in the Philippines will leave US by the 21st of Sept. grr....

 

vvatclor, the notebook will most likely be shipped BEFORE your est. date, about 2 days most likely, so you should receive your laptop on the 20th or latest 21st.

 

Yeah, HP's estimated shipping date is usually the worst case scenario.

 

Yeah..
Unlike Dell's Inspirons. Who's ship date is BEST CASE Scenario. lol.

 

My dv6500t shipped two days before the ESD also. You will have it in time.

 

I think i got mine a week early

 

Status is now 'Item Shipped' !!!

 

Told ya

Congrats.

 

Lucky.. ordered mine also that day but it was at night dont know if it would make a diff. though. Mine still says in production though i asked for free sipping. Thought to save that extra $80 bucks and put toward blue tooth. what specs did u get these are mine:

Where you able to avail the 30% off too?? Luckily when I placed my order on the 10th of Sept, It was declined, the next day I check the status, I re-order it via phone, I told the HP rep that to put the same specs and I also mentiond to him that I used a coupon but I didn't know then that there was 30% off, so the HP rep entered this 30% coupon for me.

 

A day have passed already since the "Item Shipped" but no inputs still on the fedex tracking site...

 

Wait, you can't track your order status? Neither can I...

 

It takes a day or 2 for the fedex tracking site to update after the item has shipped. Be patient, you should see pretty good real time updates after the shipment enters the US.

 

Nice, yea i got to use the 30% off code also that what made it sweat my laptop was for 1,332 w/out tax and with the coupon code it went down to $933. It was sweat because of the 2.4Ghz and 2gig of ram, u wouldn't be even able to find that anywhere in retail. I also got a 2yr warrenty, thought i might need it since i will be carrying it around alot.

 

Were you able to track your order now??

 

Yeah, but it's "In Transit" from China. I was hoping to get it by today (because the notebook was shipped supposedly on Monday since I received an email stating that it was shipped), but it looks like Friday for me, which sucks because I wanted to have my computer cleaned of bloatware before I moved in to my dorm...

 

Mine to, it scheduled to be delivered on sept 24, w/c by that time the person who'll bring it for me is already here in the philippines. You think can I ask HP for a return of the cost I paid for the 2 days shipping? If they really have delay in their shipping and since I avail their 2 days shipping, can I ask for a return of the cost I've paid with them??

 

Apparently, there was a typhoon in China so all shipments were delayed... Otherwise, my notebook would've been here today...

Edit: Yes, I think they'll refund total amount you paid for and return mailing will be free. They'll send you labels and directions on how to return it.

 

I hoped it get delayed totally so I can refund at least the 2 days shipping I've paid. They said it will be delivered on Monday 10:30am.

If I where to ask someone to ship my laptop from Tennessee to Chicago once I get it on Monday, how safe it is via FedEx ground shipping? I know someone from Chicago that will be going home here in my home country that is willing to bring my laptop.. Do i need to get insurance from FedEx for the shipment of my laptop? Should I get their "Direct Signature Required" service? hope to hear your suggestions.

Thanks
