    As the thread title says, I recently bought a lotus p150hm from Malibal (7/16/11) and went with the nvidia gtx 485m with windows 7 premium installed, with most of the other stuff left at their base levels, and I would like to know if it would arrive before Wednesday next week, as that is when I'm leaving the house for a few days for a trip. Preferably I'd be more convenient if it were to arrive before then, as that would put my parents at ease about the situation.

    Edit: It probably would be important to mention that I went with the UPS ground 3 day shipping as well with the order.

    You could have went to the online chat and asked them :) or called, but I am sure he will come let you know. It may be cutting it a little close to make it by next wed though.

    Perhaps that would've been faster, but being the anti-social guy I am I felt more comfortable with a form post as it seems like they're pretty good with responding to peoples' questions here.

    So why didn't you use live chat or e-mail?

    By any chance do you live in California? Because you may have a chance at that if you do. They tend to ship to Ca in 1 day.

    Ok. What is the status of your laptop? Did you get the original confirmation e-mail and respond to the verification with the phone call?

    And if so, did you get the shipment confirmation e-mail?

    the status of the laptop is paid, the confirmation e-mail and the phone call have been taken care of, but I haven't gotten any word on them shipping it out yet. they said it would take 5-7 buisness days for them to finish building it.

    Ok. Well I checked and nothing says it is back-ordered so I'm sure it will ship today or tomorrow. So the chances are pretty good that you will get it by Wednesday. (And a heads up UPS ground doesn't do Saturday or Sunday delivery).

    sweet, thanks for your help. And yeah, I figured that UPS didn't deliver on weekends (not that I'll be home then anyways).

    Hi, if you ordered on the 16th - and you are in California - then it should definitely arrive before next Wednesday. If it didn't ship today, it will probably ship tomorrow. :)

    If you've got the email, take the tracking number and go to ups.com with it, their estimated arrival times are almost always spot on.
