    Couple questions on my Malibal

    Hey there,
    I'm new to NBR and just bought a Malibal Lotus (wan't able to get the NBR discount unfortunately i guess), looking forward to getting it soon!

    I had a couple quick questions though for just about anyone if they know.

    I'm a tracking junkie, if there is such a thing, and I really like to track packages and stuff. I was wondering if there was any way to track the build of the computer at all or if its a ordered to shipped indicator that shows up on the order history.

    Also, one thing I'm a little weary of is the whole warranty. I work for Best Buy (yeah I'll put it out there I guess) and I loved having their Geek Squad protection on my old laptop. I'm wondering what happens if my laptop break and if there's any way to maybe extend that warranty before it's too late (i have a little buyers remorse on that subject).

    Any help is appreciated, thanks!

    Hi, most orders ship out within 5-7 business days - if there are any delays - we send out email notifications with details on what is causing the delay. Also, you can contact us anytime through our site for a status update and we'll give you a more precise idea of what's going on with your order and when your laptop will ship.

    In addition, if you haven't received the NBR discount, please open a ticket on our site and include your NBR username and we'll add it to your order. :)

    For Malibal:
    Is the free upgrade to 120hz 3d (USD 135)still available if I ordered GTX 580M and discount USD 125 for over USD 1500?

    I saw it 2 weeks ago, I think. Is it possible that you can bring it back as an option too?

    Thanks

    Best to PM them asking for a quote, and they'll give you the best they can manage, including whatever promotions or discounts are available for NBR users.

    Hey, wanted to say thank you for the information! The ticket didn't go through because of some site error, but I was able to get it resolved over the phone.

    Honestly your customer service is fantastic and I await my new laptop's arrival XD

    The NBR discount is for discounted shipping, the $125 off is if you buy over $1500.

    Edit: It seems like the discount is only $100 now.

    Considering the normal Christmas rush, it applies to just about anything ^)^

    Order sooner than later to have it by the 24th.

    This is my "7th business day" as well. I'm am eagerly awaiting the shipping notification. All the other chips haven fallen into place already. My assorted accessories and upgrades have already arrived as of yesterday, so only the central piece of the puzzle remains. :D
