    It's passing through customs. Though it's odd that customs check is in Kentucky.

    And you're not the receiver. The warehouse/shipping company is.

    Thanks buddy.
    could anyone explain what those lines mean?
    does it say it is released from customs?
    how much does it take to be released from there if not yet?

    I don't completely know what that means, but Exception is UPS terminology for something other than normal transit of the package. Don't worry, I had the same weird message with my machine. The machine was built and in my hands in 7 days. This is normal ! You will then see that your machine is in Alaska, also normal :D

    If you google it you'll get an explanation. I've seen it a couple of times online. It should be fine and released same day. Mine still arrived a day earlier:

    Ordered CTO: 2/20/2008 at 11PM
    Lenovo estimated ship date: End of March
    Shipped: 2/23/2008
    UPS estimated delivery date: 2/29/2008
    Received: 2/28/2008 at 2PM

    T61p 14.1"
    2.4 GHz 3MB L2
    1x1GB RAM
    UltraNav (TrackPoint and TouchPad) with Fingerprint Reader
    80GB HDD
    8X DVD Burner
    PC Card Slot & Express Card Slot
    Intel AGN
    9 Cell Li-Ion Battery
    Vista Basic

    It was held by Brokerage beyond UPS' control on the 2/27/2008 and was released either the same day and it was on its way. I chose the free shipping (5-7 days).

    I believe it goes through Kentucky because that is the main UPS hub for the USA. It's something like that anyway. :)

    UPS has a major distribution facility in Kentucky. Although their planes often stop in Anchorage (prob'ly to refuel), they don't seem to do the customs checks until the Kentucky facility.

    Maybe the Customs Service finds it easier to staff a facility in Kentucky than Anchorage... or maybe Kentucky's congressional caucus has more pull than Alaskas. ;)
