I ordered a T500 February 5th and it just shipped on the 11th of March. So it could have been worse, though now UPS says it has just been released by carrier and customs, whatever that means, it's been there ever since. No update on shipping yet.

Just got the email saying that my computer is shipped!!! That's 2 days ahead of scedule, awesome!! Now let's see how fast 2 day shipping gets to Chicago.

I ordered a T410 w/ discrete graphics on 3/12. Current estimated ship date is 3/25.

I ordered my T410:
3 Gigs RAM
7200 rpm drive
webcam
WGXA+ screen

on the 12th, UPS ground shipping. Their first estimate was shipping 3/25. It arrived Thursday. I'm writing on it now. Great machine, much faster turnaround than they forecast at purchase.

Ordered 3.17.2010 - Told it would Ship by 4/9/2010, and that was after expressing disappointment at the 5.4.2010 estimated ship date. Not sure if they changed anything, I just imagine they have a conservative estimate from the start.

Ok, so, this post really should have been made several days ago...I've been too busy playing with my new computer though!!!

That's right! Not only did my computer come on time but, it came a day SOONER than the gal on the phone told me it was going to ship!! I got my computer on the 17th! That's less than 10 days for them to process the order, build the computer, and 2 day shipping to Chicago!

What was the model? I am on day 8 of waiting for my 410s. Not expecting any miracles, but I have my fingers crossed.

My T410 arrived on 3/24, a day before the original ship date. Nice.

its a T510. The thing is running wonderfully!

Great to hear the T510 is working well for you....I hear almost nothing but good things from people with the 510 and 410.

That being said...you have to get one first...

Posted Ship: 5/9/2010
1st Revised Ship (Phone on 3/24/2010): 4/9/2010
2nd Revised Ship (Phone on 4/8/2010): 4/19/2010

It is a slippery slope....and I am going to get impatient...

Anyone know where you can buy T410s off the shelf or in the store? Is it even possible?

just ordered a T410s 4/19/2010, the confirmation page says estimated shipping out date is 5/19/2010. So I'll get it a few days after 5/19.

Is this considered a long time?

No. That sounds about right. I had an estimated ship date 1.5 months after my order date. It has "shipped" just at 1 month following my order but that is what brings me to my problem and PRIMARY concern....

UPS Shipping Supply Chain Solutions (SCS) is a international shipping department that is set up for special contracts with vendors. I have found that the shipment from China is being handled without any knowledge of the UPS arm which is available to us, the customer.
- I was told on the phone that I can not speak with anyone that works for the SCS division, and that I would only get further information once it comes in through customs.
- I was told that the shipment was coming by BOAT from China...presumably to the west coast....and then by GROUND to TEXAS. Are they f*cking kidding me?

Anyone else know anything about UPS SCS Shipping?
I would have paid $100 to have it overnighted - and handled with care to my doorstep. But that is hindsight.

Told on the phone by whom that it was coming by Boat? Lenovo? I don't think so. By ship, it would take - average - 15 days to reach the US.

My T410 shipped on 4/21 and will be arriving 4/28. Not bad when when you factor in the weekend. I've had packages shipped ground from California take just as long if not longer.

Correction....not by boat...I must have been speaking with the biggest idiot at UPS (which I had assumed from the start). Ultimately, it appears to have flown in from Dallas, customs had it released today and scanned onto the truck today - listed that it should be here tomorrow...

I am excited - you will have to tell me how you like your T410....I got the T410s coming my way - pretty excited.

T410s Arrived....it is AWESOME

Ordered a T410s today. Will update as shipping process progresses. Current estimated ship date is 5/13/2010 for order placed 4/29/2010. I really hope I don't encounter all of the problems others have encountered. This will be my first ThinkPad. System Specs listed below:

Good to hear.

The LCD graininess/pixelation on my t410i screen is next to unbearable. I have the "14.1WXGA TFTW/LEDBACKLIGHT" screen.

Is this normal?

Here's what you can expect from Lenovo/UPS (tracking info below): I ordered my X201 on June 24th. FOUR DAYS LATER it was given to UPS. I don't know why it took 4 days for Lenovo to get it to UPS since I ordered the default configuration. I didn't customize it at all and my credit card was charged instantly.



Since this is the 4th of July weekend and Monday is a holiday, I'm looking at Tuesday the 6th of July at the earliest that I'll have it. UPS is not working today or Monday the 5th. Also, I don't live in California.

Ordered my T510 on 7/7/10; estimated ship date is 7/23

I ordered a lenovo (T410) yesterday and it says estimated ship date is 7/28/10 so that's 20 days. Is there a chance it will ship out earlier? Why does it take 20 days to asemble and package? Thanks

That is impossible to predict. The only way you can gauge that is if someone ordered the exact same machine/configuration within the last week or so. My experience has been that Lenovo generally is fairly decent at hitting the ship date mark. If they run out of needed parts then all bets are off, but I think that is rare.

Edit: Moved to the T400/500 shipping thread.

I placed my T410 order late yesterday afternoon (EDT) 07/09/2010, and right now, the estimated ship date is 07/28/2010.

Final cost with discounts was $1,166.03 + tax.

Wow, it's already shipped this morning which is 7/13/10
I can't wait, anyone know how long it takes with UPS ground? Do they also ship on weekends?

Hmmm... congrats on the early ship.

Now I'm starting to get concerned about my order placed on 7/9. Checking online shows the ship date still as 7/28, but what bothers me more is that my credit card hasn't been charged, yet!?!

From the Lenovo order web page, if I click on the "More Info" link, all I get is a popup that says, "At the moment, we can't get the status of your order. Please try in a few minutes." A few minutes??? - its been saying that since I placed the order.

Don't worry, my debit card isn't charged yet either for some reason. Also I got an email notification so you might get yours tomorrow that it's shipped because they didn't tell me until it's shipped, they never told me it was ready to ship, just when it did.

Thanks for the reassurance about the charge NOT yet appearing on my credit card

No email yet... but I'll be watching.
