    I haven't purchased a T400 yet, but I would like to know what others have paid for shipping cost?

    I know they offer standard shipping which some users can get for free, but I heard that people have been having issues such as Shipping delays with standard shipping. Has anyone ordered using 2Day Business shipping?

    I also know it depends on which state you order from, but including your tax and such~ how much was your shipping cost.

    Thank-you.

    I paid nothing for two day shipping—that only took two days.

    Free standard shipping here. I didn't have the option for 2 day shipping like other members did. =(

    Jeeze, according to the posts above my shipping was expensive. I don't know if it was related to the EPP deal they had two weeks ago, but the basic shipping (one I went with...still waiting for delievery (which is scheduled for this wednesday)) was $9.99 USD and 2day shipping was $70.00. I thought that was too much of a price increase so I didn't bother, although it is killing me that my laptop was shipped last wednesday and it seems to be taking forever!

    Weird, my 2day shipping was only $21 (which is why i went with it.) Maybe they were having a sale at the time. Sales tax was $105. I live in new york, if that makes any difference.

    Yeah, sales tax for me too, $80. Shipping and tax costs alone would have been 20% of the cost of the whole unit!

    To correct myself, the shipping cost is accurate, but i just double checked and the shipping date is actually set for October 7, 2008. This is reasonable as I did customize my configuration.
    In the Case of thumper88, I believe he took advantage of the order by 3pm and ship the same day deal~ but that only happens when you don't customize the T400 options. (please correct me if i'm wrong though.)
