That's a real shame because I ordered mine from Best Buy and got it 2 days later, even though I picked the free shipping which was supposed to be 5-7 days.

I want my new laptop to look brand new especially at a thousand bucks. Chipped parts, funky bezels and scratched plastic are not acceptable. :mad::shake:

Wow that sucks! Must be cheaper for them to exchange a few damaged in transit then to pack them all in a second box.
