    Is it unusual for the system to be in boxing for 2 days.. especially since it took only 1 to build?

    I was expecting it to ship today, but I'm guessing that it wont at this time

    edit: searched... nevermind

    With a company like Dell, you never know.

    No. My personal experience was boxing for several days before it shipped. I think that with the recent, well documented troubles, there is no longer a reliable timeline for production stages.

    you should be happy with the fact that your machine is in boxing to begin with.

    Mine is currently in boxing and has been for 2 weeks.

    Sad Story: Saturday, a rep informed me that my screen was on backorder. Doesn't really seem like its being boxed, more so built or not even.
