It shipped the evening of the 22nd. The only data have for it from Fedex is through Wednesday when it departed the Orlando facility..... Supposed to arrive on the 26th which is a Saturday so I guess that means Monday, as Fedex doesn't deliver on Saturday unless it is next day or two day air. Seeing as how I am having it delivered to my offfice, that is ok, though I would love for it to show up today

It was agonizing waiting for that FedEx truck to arrive with my m5500.

Actually, fed-ex standard shipping varies. I've had packages shipped from AW on Saturday. if your tracking says est. Ship date is tomowow, you may be going to work
I'd check the status Early tomorrow. might say
"on truck for delivery"

They said it is scheduled for delivery on...TUESDAY!!
The packages left this past Tuesday. It is 3-5 days delivery. So do I get my money refunded for it taking 7 days? Actually I am not that mad, just anxious to get it .

I should have opted for the express delivery, but honestly my funds were stretched to that point where I couldn't go another dime .

Now I have to wait for another 4 days!! This week has seemd like 8 days long already, haha!

Oh well at least I have the weekend to look forward to and seeing the X-Files new movie tonight with my kids and wife and then tomorrow I am golfing for the first time in over 14 months, so the weekend will be full and fast as they always are. Then comes Monday which will probably seem a week long by itself .

WoW I am getting too whiney and spoiled! It's not as if I don't have a decent computer to play WoW on in my mALX. I am just soo excited to get the m15x for so many reasons and one being how much easier it will be to haul around.

I guess I will just have to be content with reading the reviews and looking at the photos of the m15x until Tuesday. Hey they say half the fun is the anticipation...though that wasn't really true with my mALX, lol.

Hang in there. By keeping yourself busy the time will seem to go a little faster-Yeah, right.

Well wait, I've been there many times. your FedEx Schedule is the same as mine, deliveries Tue-Sat. so it gets there sat, but not delivered until tue...

1. if it gets to the local sort facility today, it might make shippment tomorow.

2. while they don't ship monday, the local fed ex station typically offers CS mon - fri.
on my last shippment it hit the local fedex friday and was going to Ship tuesday. i called them Early Monday, they put a hold on delivery and i was able to pick it up on my lunch break Monday

i know how it is waiting for a AW shippment, anything to speed it up, even just an hour, is worth it

How do you get the local phone number? All I can get is the 800 number for national FedEx.

Do you have a local phone book? If not go to your town's yellow pages online and search for the local FedEx
