    How long does it take for Lenovo laptops to arrive once they have been shipped? Do they come with some kind of expedited shipping? My laptop says it was shipped yesterday and I would be really happy if it arrived tomorrow. :p

    To clarify, I am in Pennsylvania, USA, so there should be no customs or international shipping to lengthen the shipping time.

    Thanks!

    Waiting for weeks for a Thinkpad to be shipped from China is part of the "Lenovo Direct" experience

    LOL. Snarky, but funny. :D

    As for the original question, the answer depends. What did you select for shipping? Your expectations sound like you want overnight shipping. Did to pay for overnight shipping?

    CTO models all come from China, usually 1-2 weeks, depends if Customs is in a trollish mood or not.

    I have never had any ThinkPad take 2 weeks from the ship date. It's usually 1 week. I did have one show up in two days. That was shocking.

    Both my Thinkpads took 1 week to build, and exactly 1 week to ship to my door. I'd say that's about the norm. Shipping should not take 2 weeks to North America.

    My T430 took was ordered on the 3rd and shipped this morning on the 5th. Estimated delivery date of 7/11. If this actually shows up on or before the 11th, I will be very impressed. Especially considering the 4th was one of the days it took to build.
