Ok, so when IBM ships my computer from Hong Kong....what date reference do they use to post this info? Hong Kong time or U.S. time?

For example, I got an email yesterday stating that my laptop had shipped. So, I check on UPS this morning, and it has activity listed for 5:10 PM on 10/28/04...which is 2 hours from now. So, that makes me think it lists the dates/times in Hong Kong time.

Does anyone know for certain? My package is being shipped UPS 2-day so I'm trying to figure out if it is going to get here tomorrow, Saturday, or Monday....

(Can you tell I'm anxious?!)

If it is coming from HK I doubt that it will get there in 2 days. It will be held at custom for at least a day.
Mine was also shipped from HK and took more than 2 days, actually about 4 days including weekend. But after it clears custom it will usually get there in a day.

Yeah, I would estimate a total ship date to your door date of 4 to 5 days.

um...i don't think HK is only 2 hrs ahead of you, im thinking more along the line of 12hrs...but i'm not sure.

as for the notebooking getting to you on saturday...2nd air doens't cover that unless you pay extra for it. i remember ordering ram and i asked the guy how fast i can get it and he said monday, i said no saturday he said hold on....$46 extra for saturday....lol i was like monday is A.O.K.

My T42 got shipped from HK on the 26th, and got here today (28th), so I'm guessing you'll get yours on Monday (since the 2nd day sits on a weekend).
