    Lead times getting longer every day.

    Hello

    Am on 3rd working day so far on my laptop, but have noticed how much the lead times are slipping.


    It was on 9 days average when i ordered, now its on 12.31.

    Was 87% dispatched in 14 days and now only 72%.

    Was 100% dispatched in 21 days and now down to 97%.


    Don't fancy waiting 3 weeks for it to come.


    Does it normally fluctuate this much and will it likely go down??? or am i in for a long wait.?

    Well there is little chance of you being in the 3 percent. Actually there is a 3 in 100 chance. Pretty good odds.

    Although there is a 28% chance of it taking 20 days so not so good eh.

    Also i asked if its normal for the lead times to fluctuate so much, are they likely to go down??

    Yes, I contacted them via the chat on Friday and they told me that they will build it on Monday ( today) and It will be probably ready on Tuesday. But today is again in pre-production. I hope to get it by the end of the week but its very unlikely to get it build and dispatched so I can get my hands on it Friday =D . I have ordered Optimus II 17.3. And I think the 1TB Scorpio delayed my order. When I ordered the laptop the lead time for it was 8 days I think ;d

    Interesting point...I have gone into the build system and repeated my choices a couple of times while I have been waiting. Having then chosen the rapid build choice it rejects that choice on the grounds that some part or other is out of stock...always a different bit. try it, you may find out what's holding you up.
    If at first you don't succeed...switch off at the wall, count to ten and reboot...
