Yea, boxing took the longest for me too lol. It just shipped yesterday (my xps2). Supposed to come this tuesday. Can't wait. I think what they do is just say they are done the other three steps and put the checkmark so that you think it's closer to being done than it actually is.

LoL, my estimated ship date was Aug 17, but I got it a day earlier. The ship date is usually the worst case scenario.

I basically harrassed the customer service rep for my tracking number because the status was listed as "In Transit" for two days, but I still hadn't received the tracking number. LoL

Boxing time includes the time it takes them to ship it from wherever they're building your laptop (probably Malaysia) to the US. That's why it takes a while.

I read somewhere that it they have to have so many items per shipment also. So they could have yours done and boxed, sitting on a pallette in the middle of the warehouse, waiting on 100 other laptops to be finished, boxed and put on the pallette before yours is "finished" boxing. Would explain why some people take 2 days and some go straight from building and skip boxing, depending on how many items are in front of them.
