    How do you find this out? I just ordered one from the Canadian site, and i think i found the link on the IBM site to see the order status, but it asks me for..
    Enterprise, customer, INAC or company number.
    in addition to the tracking number. I have the latter, but not the first one.

    Try here for order status:

    BTW, my new ESD is now 9/4/07. I pulled the trigger on the 160G HD after the recent price drop, and got an Ultrabay battery too! :D Hopefully I'll have no trouble cancelling my existing order, the reps were very pessimistic it would ship anytime soon.

    doesnt lenovo give the consumer a "2 business days" shipping option? Sure its gonna cost ya, but its worth it for some people whose computer doesnt come until late august

    What's the point of 2 day shipping when your laptop doesn't get built 2 months later? :confused:

    ooo hostility... i like that. well sp00n it must be there for a reason... unless lenovo intentionally put that there to trick you. if it doesnt come within 2 days, it can definitely cut time on the shipping, although not on the build time. im thinking it can cut the time to about 7 days

    Ordered 5/22, ship date was 8/3 (thanks hard drive)

    A lenovo rep reordered for me on 7/12, new ship date is 8/01, but it's on critical status so I hope it comes out sooner.

    Why does asking a question = hostility?

    I think spoon's point is, what does 2-day really save considering a) the bulk of the total wait time is build time, and b) free shipping take less than a week.

    In fact, both my orders were delivered in FIVE days- so it would have saved me only 3 days in each case. Whether that's worth more money is up to the individual, but it amounts to a small fraction of the total build time.

    You pretty much just said what i did...

    so are you saying that your t61p was delivered in 5 days? I have to say you are one of the very few. pretty much everyone here wont get theirs at least until late july. Some wont until mid-late August.

    And seeing some of whines and groans i suggested a 2 day business shipping so it can at least ease some of the pain. I dont know how much xtra the 2 day shipping is but i can say its at least 40 bucks

    I think I win - I ordered 5/17 and the current date (since its moved so often) is 9/4. Why you ask - because I am part of the lucky few from the first sale that have yet to deliver.

    I had a ship date of 9/11/2007 (ordered 7/27). However, it shipped 7/30/2007. pretty surprised about that.
