    Ordered a 25285FU and have heard lots of horror stories since about delivery times - problems with Hitachi hard drives, new (untrained) employees etc., etc....

    well heres my "experience"

    i placed my order on the 7th of july 2005 (thursday)

    i immediately got an email with all the lil details : order, customer #s, and the estimated shipping date.

    my estimated shipping date was 07/21/05.... they say that yll get the notebook 3 biz days after it has been shipped.


    ** i recived my order on the 12th of july '05.........i called them to make sure there was no mix up and that this was my laptop.

    what they told me was that there is no accurate way of telling when a customer wil recieve their order......just that some times theyll get early and in other cases later than the other...

    what she did say was no matter waht they will always ship on or before the estimated ship date.

    hope this helps :D

    Thanks for the reply. I placed my order on 7/14 and its been on "packing" since 7/15. Sounds like it could show up at any time - this would be great since its 100 degrees in my office and I can take the TP in to our bedroom which has a/c.

    edseas2, can you post which model you ordered? I am about to order T43, but it seems that most of them are backordered and take forever to ship.

    It now says "exception" on the UPS website and they posted the following info:

    FORMAL EXPORT ENTRY REQUIRES ADDITIONAL CUSTOMS CLEARANCE PROCESSING TIME AT EXPORT LOCATION

    :(

    I wonder if I'll have it by Saturday.....
