FDA Hold

#1 Post by jimg72 » Mon Oct 11, 2004 1:00 pm

Was expecting laptop today but my shipment status is Exception and the current activity is 'PACKAGE WAS DELAYED BY A FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION HOLD.' Any clue how long these holds last? Is there a standard wait or is it ever how long they want to hold it? My docking station got here today, I'm just getting teased...

Food and Drug? That's strange... For a computer?

FDA Hold?

Sounds like someone tried to import more than a notebook with your computer.

And I thought that powder on my new T42 was just dust.........

Seriously, I suspect it's just going through customs. I'd be surprised if it is any big deal. You'll have your ThinkPad soon.

Something else I didn't think about when I posted that... I bet the FDA is off today like the rest of government so that's +1 day.

Same thing with mine.

I assume that "import scan" means that the FDA hold is released?
