Military Discount & APO Shipment

[jazznutuva]

I recently pre-ordered the NP8660 on Aug 11 (Order# 7052). I have two questions:

1. I requested military discount, but have not been asked for any type of verification...

2. I have also ordered using USPS Priority Mail (APO / FPO / Puerto Rico / Guam / U.S.)...

...will either of these things delay production?

Thanks,

Just to let you know, I ordered and had it shipped to APO. the production and first 2 phases were just as normal as a regular order. The shipping time and time from military post office to my place in Iraq took the time. 40 days total but well worth the wait.

Thanks wildman... when I was deployed to Iraq in 2006... I had a Dell Inspiron shipped to me there. It was an absolute nightmare. I just hope this doesn't turn out to be the same way. Glad to hear the processing took the same amount of time.

40 Days???
When I orderd my first Sager I got it in 11 days and that was during the Xmas rush.

Depending where your APO is may take longer. Im in Afghaistan it takes USPS Priority Mail approx. 5-10 days (not business days). The mail comes into the larger bases then is dispersed to the smaller bases which takes a while. Luckily Im stationed at the first stop of the mail flight for this country.

Also remember... when I ordered from Dell... they shipped it Parcel Post. This is death knell to APO... can easily take 45 - 60 days to arrive due to the package no becoming a "space available" package. I always check if a company ships Priority Mail (for normally a nominal cost difference from parcel post) which usually only takes 7 - 10 days... sometime quicker.

I just received my laptop this afternoon. So the answer on delivery time came to 15 days. I suspect it took a little longer due to it being mailed "registered mail" which is a nice bonus. Thanks for the great service Xotic!
