    When I put my order in the shopping cart, it showed estimated ship date was 8/8, but when finish checking out, it became 8/12, then when I checked order status from order status site, the est. ship date became 8/15! :mad: How fast/slow is the shipping nowadays? I ordered an x220 and need it now!

    shipping dates are very conservative so it'll probably ship sooner, but there's no way of knowing exactly when

    Mine shipped nearly two weeks before the estimated date. Though shipment from Shanghai to the US does take some time.

    My estimated ship date was 8/12. It shipped 7/25, ordered 7/15. It definitely takes awhile for them to process and build your order, but it will most likely not take as long as their estimated ship date. Also, after you place your order, you can chat online with one of their reps and ask them for a specific ship date and they were happy to assist me when I did so.

    I ordered May 20, and over the following days I received estimated ship dates of June 7, 8, 9, 10, and 14. It shipped on May 30. I won't venture to guess why they felt it so important to edit the estimated date so often, all of which were progressively more incorrect.

    So in all these 3 cases order was shipped 10 days after order placed. Maybe 10 days in most cases.

    Have you tried this? I called Lenovo some days ago and asked them if they could deliver a customized T520 within 2 weeks and they said it was impossible. They told me they needed 3 weeks to deliver to London.

    I ordered on 7/28.. shipped today on 7/30.

    T420S i5 320gbhd 4gb ram, Nvidia4200nvs optimus, 720p webcam, basic intel wifi, fingerprint etc.

    I ordered a similar model a week ago and had a problem with my CC not being able to ship to a different address as my billing so my order was canceled. (huge doonboggle b/c I need it by the 12th. Ideally sooner since I start Law school on the 14th (yay for Sunday start of classes o_O

    Needless to say. Blessing in disguise because of the ultraportable coupon I saved myself 158 over a week (was already using B&N Gold + educational) Now I can get my extra ram and SSD on newegg :)

    I live in Canada. It didn't arrive in Canada until like May 7, which leads me to believe that it didn't actually board the plane to Canada until much later than April 29 as Lenovo/UPS/whoever is responsible does batch shipping.

    Where in Canada are you? I'm in Vancouver. My laptop spent more time in transit within Canada than it did in getting to Canada (the latter includes customs clearance). In my case, it arrived to Lenovo's Concord, Ontario facility, and was dispatched by ground (!) across the country.

    Something along the lines of:

    -May 30 (China time): picked up by UPS
    -June 2: arrives for customs clearance
    -June 3: put on truck destined for Vancouver
    -June 8: arrives in my possession

    The GTA. It took less than 1 business day for my laptop to clear customs, and another for it to be delivered. My laptop went to Mississauga, then to Concord, then to where I live. No clue why it went to Concord, but oh well, guess they got gas to burn.

    I ordered about two weeks ago, on 20 June, Wednesday early morning.
    It shipped from Shangai on Saturday 23 June (!) and arrived in the UK at my place Tuesday 26 June morning(!).
    That's less than a week.

    Did the order status change before the delivery date? Or did anyone receive their computer unexpectedly, without seeing an update of the order status and tracking info? I am concerned because there is no update of order status but I am out of town these days, so don't know if there have been attempted delivery.
