Lol ๐Ÿ˜‚ sound like cannot wait.. good luck bro.
Anyway Lenovo so far is the best part , they had better QC to check on display, I knows some Brandโ€™s has dead pixels for any display.
I had my previous dell XPS M1530 comes with dead pixels

Yaaa, is in a very rushing situation. Once they cannot deliver on time then I have to cancel the order and get a ready stock unit from shop ๐Ÿ˜”

Ordered a X390 last night. Hopefully they're honest with their estimate. It seems the backpack (I cropped that part out) will be shipped on a later date. I guess everybody wants a $1 backpack  laugh.gif

My order;

Total around RM4,250. Maybe could get cheaper if I was patient, but the 3yr battery coverage was too good to pass up. Called the hotline just now and they transferred me to a technical guy who claimed that if the battery went below a certain threshold in that time, I'd qualify to change it for free and only have to pay for labor. Means I can hammer the machine without worry.  icon_rolleyes.gif

Battery coverage was +$1. Accidental damage protection was free.  :thumbsup:

Good luck bro and welcome to join the awaiting list๐Ÿ˜…

Mine just got updated again, which it backs to 31st Aug ship date (1day later than initially mentioned date but way faster than previous update).
But it put me in a difficult situation again...

Received my backpack and wireless mouse earlier today. Exactly one week from my order date.

Actually still can. Just tell them you don't need the laptop anymore and you already bought from somewhere else. I managed to cancel twice and both times I received the backpack and mouse

I see.. So they charged you for the backpack and mouse?

I don't really think it's the import license. To my knowledge, import related documentation and duties payment can be handled by the company or contracted agency prior to the goods even reaching customs, with only the inspection (usually just checking labels and invoices) to be carried out upon arrival.

It's most likely the SIRIM related nonsense. That department in particular is super inefficient. That's the reason why I HATE importing computer related stuff myself into the country. Had a lot of trouble with some OpenWRT routers in the past. The bastards held my goods for 3 weeks while I had to go back and forth with paperwork and whatnot. There are usually agencies (like this one) that handle the matter and speed up the process for individual buyers or small businesses (for a fee of course, usually 3-4 working days), but big companies like Lenovo probably have their own people or full-time subcontracted agency on the ground. All depends on how fast these people are willing to work.

So the actual issue might be related to "regulatory approval". I think UPS simply groups everything together under "import license" category in the tracking info slip/screen, but probably not the imports people delaying things. At least that's my experience.

I see I see. So it's actually not really the permit but the SIRIM things? Actually when I called them earlier around 9 something, they told me it's the documents that have arrived for inspection but not the physical item itself. The physical item arrives a bit later.

SIRIM thing is just my guess, based on past experience importing from overseas. Sometimes with these big multinational companies (Lenovo, Dell, Apple, etc) the order won't even physically go through the customs office at the airport/port. It's all handled by agencies with people on the ground. Likely your laptop will receive approval permit without even setting foot inside any customs office. It now all depends on how fast the involved staff work. Typically, in other advanced countries, having various staff from both parties on-location saves time and makes things more efficient. In Malaysia, the two parties will make a detour for goreng pisang first. Sorry for you my friend, but that's typical bolehland. Hope you get it in time.

I see. Thanks so much for the information!
Hmm, as it usually get done within 1-3 days, hopefully it won't go wrong this time so that I can receive it on time!

What number did you call? The 1800 one from the website is it? I also need to call them to check order status (my order page says order on hold due to credit block, but my bank says nothing was blocked) but their hotline number says open from 9AM to 6PM only  bangwall.gif
*
For this I actually meant UPS haha.
However, regarding the order status you may just call the hotline provided in the website and press 1 for after sales service. Yes, they only operate from 9am to 6pm sweat.gif sweat.gif However, when I attempted to call them today (3rd Sept) for around 10 times, no call was answered for even once LOL. Today just merely through email (quite slow in replying) and live chat with my sales rep.

Does anyone know what would be the problem that causes my battery charge so slow? Started charging (when laptop is switched off) since 10am but until 1145am it's just 65% and after unplugged, restart and continue charging but just became 74% after around 30mins.
