emorphien,

The UPS times are local to each location of the package. Hong Kong is 13 hours ahead of me and I think 12 hours ahead of you. That's why it can look like a package arrives in the US before it ships from HK!

Mine was picked up in HK at 5:00 PM this afternoon and arrived in Louisville at 3:00 PM this afternoon (2 hours EARLIER).

Amusing, eh?

It's only thing that keeps me going while I torturiously wait for mine.

I was just about to order DDU and the web page says that the wait time is 2-4 weeks and before it was 2 weeks. Secondly, most of 2GHz models are not there (EPP site) and all 1.86GHz models have wait times 2-4 weeks

Hope everyone had a good fourth.. both residents and non-residents alike. Mine would've been better had my laptop been in my possession!

Im supposed to receive it on Friday or early next week.. cuz my rep said 2 weeks from return/RMA date which is this Friday. Im not getting any hopes up cuz like most here Ive dealt with IBM before. But I don't even have a quote, so who knows.. maybe they forgot about me. They'll be getting a call today.

Cheers.

It was a good 4th, but I agree it would be better with my laptop! They should be delivering it today although UPS tracking hasn't updated since saturday.

Just to give ya'll an update on my T43 I got Friday (finally

It's a plot to fry my mind!

First, my EJU shipped last Thursday, so I hoped to get it today. Then the UPS tracking site showed a scheduled delivery date for SATURDAY, July 2. Of course that later changed to today.

Now I'm at work, so I check the tracking again, which says the package is rescheduled for tomorrow because no one was there to accept the package today --- even though my building has a receiving room AND a 24 hour doorman, either of which will sign for packages!

It's a plot! They're out to get me! I'm going home tonight and put on a tin foil hat to shield my mind....

I just ordered a T43 and they got it to my door within 10 days of my order. A week later I ordered the EXACT same model for my girlfriend, and it is saying she will get it in August... wtf... lol.

emorphien · #280 Post by **emorphien** » Tue Jul 05, 2005 4:48 pm

Time to go pick mine up from the rental office.

CaptainMorgan · #281 Post by **CaptainMorgan** » Wed Jul 06, 2005 7:25 am

I liesurely checked the status of mine a few minutes ago and I got good/bad news. The good is it's already shipped! as of today which is a nice surprise, I didn't receive an email or anything -HK has it as packing/billing info received. Bad news is - they shipped it Ground!?

That'll take like 2 weeks just to travel! WTH? What happened to the 3-day select?

felipeudel · #282 Post by **felipeudel** » Wed Jul 06, 2005 7:33 am

JiuJitsu, don't worry about it. There is no such thing as GROUND shipping from HK. Eventhough you order from IBM says GROUND, when UPS takes over, it automatically changes to Global Express. Your order will fly from HK all the way to your house, and if everything goes well with customs it will take two days from the day of shipping for you to receive your machine.

Rock on!

Now Im only hoping everything is pristine and close to perfect this time around... maybe Ill have better luck.

Phil_C · #284 Post by **Phil_C** » Wed Jul 06, 2005 1:05 pm

UPS returned to deliver my EJU later yesterday. I don't know if it was because I complained by phone, but --- it's here! Finally!

All is looking good so far --- perfect screen, correct parts, etc.

This thread has been "fun", but now I'm off to set up the new notebook.

It's not here yet, but as you can see- it's out for delivery. I checked it two hours ago and never in my wildest expected what you said to be true.. Im now a believer it's definately going to be here before 10:30.. My first laptop arrived at that time 3 1/2 weeks ago. and I bet these drivers all have similiar routes for their towns. Wow man, you need to play the lottery today. Seriously - go buy a ticket.

Good call!

I ordered the 266875U on July 5 and it was shipped on July 6. I got all excited and couldn't believe it was processed so fast. Guess what, UPS has kept on delaying my package

I can't believe that the package was delayed twice already.

OK, I'm getting pretty frustrated with Lenovo. I placed my order on 6/26 and my ship date (as shown on the Lenovo site) has already been pushed back 8 times. I e mailed my rep several times Thursday and Friday and he assured me that everything was on schedule for the original 7/11 ship date. So, I check the latest status tonight and it says back ordered! Ahh! It says to call for more information, so I do but can't get a hold of a live person. This reminds me too much of the experience I had with Dell when I ordered my desktop two years ago. Can I expect some sort of compensation for having my order delayed/back ordered or am I just $hit out of luck?

Ive learned to go by what the rep says and to not pay attention to the site because it's still in the transition phase. Ive heard things from my rep that weren't backed up by the site and he always turned out to be correct. Ive had three laptops delivered to me at different times they were all delivered on time as stated by the rep, but the site still has mine on order! I would say wait until the 11th, see what happens.

boilermakerinatl · #296 Post by **boilermakerinatl** » Sun Jul 10, 2005 7:39 am

Thanks Jujitsu...I ordered an open bay R52, 1849-4TU. It doesn't get much easier to build than an open bay machine. I'll call my rep tomorrow since they're not open on Sundays

Don't know what's wrong with UPS. My t43 was shipped on July 8. It didn't move since it arrived LOUISVILLE, KY on July 9.

VMax · #298 Post by **VMax** » Tue Jul 12, 2005 2:23 am

Well... first time I've posted in this thread, so a quick rundown of the story - I've been waiting on T43P availability since around February, and as of 09/06 they were finally listed on the supplier's website (I work for an IT company, so it's significantly cheaper ordering wholesale than ordering through IBM).

The order was placed that day, and I was apparently first in the queue of 9! ETA at the supplier was 12/07, but I got word yesterday (11/07) that it had arrived at their warehouse in Sydney, which is on the other side of Australia to me. Therefore, it was due to arrive today.

No further info was forthcoming, and after extensive investigations, it appears that the supplier had accidentally noted the machine as "Collect from Sydney depot" rather than "Airfreight to <our office in Perth>". Oh well - these things happen, right?

But instead of calling a courier "manually" and getting it out the door, or even calling us and asking how we'd like to proceed... they simply cancelled our order, and bumped everyone else up a place in the queue, delivering "my" machine to #2 in the queue, and re-entering our order, so now I am last in the queue, with delivery not expected for another two weeks at the earliest!!

If I had to wait 7 weeks in total it wouldn't have been so bad, but expecting to get a machine today and then being told it would be another two weeks was not much fun at all

So much for customer service...

I thought you might get a kick out of my UPS log (in reverse order).. this is one world-travelled machine:

LOUISVILLE, KY, US DEPARTURE SCAN

LOUISVILLE, KY, US THE PACKAGE WAS LEFT IN A UPS FACILITY CAUSING THIS DELAY

ANCHORAGE, AK, US

INCHEON, KR THE SCHEDULED FLIGHT WAS CANCELED AND CAUSED THIS DELAY DUE TO CIRCUMSTANCES BEYOND UPS CONTROL

LOUISVILLE, KY, US A SPECIAL CUSTOMS DELAY IS REQUIRED FOR THIS

KOWLOON BAY, HK PICKUP SCAN

HK BILLING INFORMATION RECEIVED

All in all, not too bad. Ordered 6/23, received 7/7. Original estimate was two weeks, so they're right there.

boilermakerinatl · #300 Post by **boilermakerinatl** » Tue Jul 12, 2005 11:13 am

I guess I ordered an unlucky combination. My order has been bumped 9 times, currently showing a ship date of 7/25 (ordered on 6/26). I have e mailed my rep back and forth about 10 times trying to get an explanation (calling the 866 42 THINK number did me no good, absolutely no help). What he said is that all build components have to be in the warehouse before they can build, and there have been some issues with the Intel chipset. Has anyone else heard of these issues with Intel?!

Back ordered?!
