How backed up are np8660 orders?

People have waited months to get their np8660s, because they just came out, but I don't know how the situation is now that they're out, and I'm not sure if there's a long line of people expecting theirs still. If I ordered mine today, through powernotebooks or xotic or sager, when could I expect it by? Do any of you forumers have outstanding orders placed recently that could give me an estimate?

 

Hey there,
Yes rolled64, I also was wondering the same thing. I ordered my 8660 a while back though. I'll give you the dates:
Date Ordered: Thursday 31 July, 2008
Date of payment received: Aug 25 (I lost the cheque in the mail and had to do a wire transfer; that is why there is a months gap there )
So Phase 2 started on the 25th.

It is now the 31st. For me, I find it disheartening. I return to university in the next few days and was sure that I would be able to take it with me when I went. The bottom line is that I suppose that XoticPC might be backed up a little bit. It says the minimum time would be 3 days for building; the max being 7. So I guess that the first would be my magic day where I should start to worry.

To actually answer your question is rather difficult, not being of a reseller myself, but I can tell you that they are certainly not AHEAD of schedule per se or I would most likely be typing on the new machine presently...

 

I pre-ordered from Eurocom Aug 7. Mine was shipped Aug 26, will be here on tuesday September 2nd. Unfortunately 3 days of ground shipping was not fast enough to make it here on friday, so tuesday it should be here.

Hope this helps.

 

I wonder if some representative from the resellers has any input....?

 

Ordered August 21 w/ secured payment. Payment pending + phase 2 August 22... Tuesday will be the 7th business day.

 

As far as I know Sager doesn't have a backlog of NP8660 orders, but then again I don't have any NP8660 orders pending so I haven't been in direct contact regarding them. Their sales department opens at 7:30am PST tomorrow, so I'd say just call Sager and ask if the orders are backed up. That'll tell you if that's the company or the reseller right there.

 

I thought tomorrow was Labor day...so they keep building computers anyway?

 

Indeed livesoft, I wonder the same thing. I don't have to work on labor Day, but I certainly wouldn't mind if they did. If they were to do so I might receive mine on time for school.

 

Im sure they are off, everyone needs a break

I'm sure DarkSmiley have a VIP Sager Hotline

 

Sorry, I forgot tomorrow was labor day :O I'll be working, at least

I'll call and see if they're there anyway. If not, then I'll try on Tuesday!

...I wish I had a VIP Sager hotline...

 

Turn around time on the 8660 is right around 3-7 business days from when payment is received presently for those who wanted to know.

Sager is closed Labor Day.

 

Thank you Justin. Good to hear that the 3-7 production time is still holding up. Good work.

 

is the 3-7 day production time also for international orders?

 

The 3-7 business day is from when payment is received. Regardless if International or not.
