    went to the site and checked my order status and here is what i got

    Ground Mail Package
    Your package was sent out on 2011-03-29. Please allow 5-7 business days for delivery, unless it is a Special Weekly Deal Item. All Weekly Deal Items are sent from our overseas warehouse and take approximately 20 business days. If it has not arrived after that time, please open a support ticket here CellularFactory Ticket System and we will assist you immediately.

    Yeah hoping they aren't from the "overseas" warehouse (AKA China) that would sucks..

    My order shipped 3-28-10 and I still haven't gotten mine either.

    I think your guys accounts are working cause you don't have to create an account if you use paypal to order. So there's nothing to log into..

    I ordered my cool balls on 3/24/11 and I just got them in the mail today (4/4/11). I have not tried them yet, but I will eventually. My laptop overheats alot and shuts down, so it should benefit from these greatly.

    My balls arrived today.
    Already installed and using them. Was alittle tricky finding spots for them on my P-7805u but I got them even and no wobbles. They even help me hide the mouse coord.

    K it was my fault pretty much about the account issues, I forgot that i used Google checkout so the account was tied too my gmail account.. lol The ticket support team was helpful and found the order for me and told me what email was tied too it.

    Says its been shipped 28th so i should be getting mine very soon.

    These things are coming from china it can take a while to get them. You should know for $0.99 that is where they had to come from :D

    Atleast now there is no fear of a scam or false dealer, others have got them so just be patient now.

    I'm still waiting too. I ordered four sets first, then another four sets (maybe three I don't remember) so I can give my friends some of my balls.

    LOL I'm serious though, the fan for the processor is too close to the edges so I'm going to assume no. Still looks like a great product. I just find the velcro that you stick onto your laptop is a bit tacky

    I just got my other set of 4 today, looks like they refunded me and still sent them for some reason. ::shrugs::

    I think it had something to do with my paypal account being under restricted use and all transactions were put on hold. I was selected for a random verification of account and it takes a while for them to open the account back up.
