    Any Aussies order the new Razer Blade 14" and have received it yet?

    I ordered a 128gb model on the 14th of April and the release date was supposed to be yesterday, but I have received no email confirmation or anything else yet. I was hoping to have it for work next Tuesday but I highly doubt that will be happening...

    So ajy ither Aussies here put their money down yet?

    I ordered mine on 7/04, 256GB. It originally stated shipping for 29/04 too, I just checked this morning (on the razerstore site) and it has stated it will be shipped after release of 8/05.

    EDIT: Note to those who may be browsing, to see the note on the estimated shipping date in my order I had to login to my account via the razersupport site (it will then appear in red underneath your order). Just putting in my order number/credit card details didn't display this note.

    Strange... if I go to the razer support page and log in, it says I have no order history. Furthermore I cant log in with my order number from my confirmation email, I can only log in via email + password.

    Maybe I should send them an email.

    If I log in to my order via the confirmation email, it says Order Submitted on 14/4/2014 but no estimated postal info...

    So I contacted them and they replied saying the shipping date is pushed back to 14th of this month. Then I'll still have to wait for it to post here assuming this shipping date is accurate. I'm considering cancelling. Im away at work until the 1st of next month and I absolutely need a new laptop when I return to work on the 10th of next month, and if they are gonna mess about with postage etc...

    Just when I wrote that previous post. Im thinking on canceling and getting a custom Origin 15.6" or the MSI GS60 Pro.

    I really wanted the Razer but their shipping dates are too unreliable for me.

    The MSI shipping date also isn't too solid either so I'm thinking the Origin might be my best bet, but I'm just not sure what components to choose...
