    Placed order on 10/8.

    On 10/9 order status: ship date 10/14 - Arrive 10/21. Fine, ok about 2 weeks, no problem.

    On 10/14 order status changed: ship date 10/21 - Arrive 10/28. Dang, another week added, I guess I can deal with that.

    On 10/21 order status changed: ship date 11/17 - Arrive 11/19. Say what? That's six weeks from order date! If I had known it was going to be six weeks, I would not have placed my order. Sucks

    Got my order yesterday. So little over 4 weeks from date of purchase. I also chatted with customer service and got concession. They offered 5% at first but I asked for supervisor and got an external dvd burner worth $80 which is around 10%

    The actual shipping only took 3 days. It was the waiting time in "manufacturing" limbo that took almost 4 weeks.
