Ideapad U & Y Series Shipping Discussion (2011). [ Edited ]

[Fletchman1313]

Order Date:  November 22, 2011

Estimated Ship Date:  December 15, 2011

Actual Ship Date:  November 26, 2011

If all goes well, I should get it by Wednesday.  Can't complain.

This is an Ideapad Y570, one of the WEEKLYY570 specials from the other week. 

Update:  Received unit on November 28th. 

Wow.

I ordered a Z570 on Nov. 22 using a terrific black friday code discount. Estimated shipping date was Nov. 28. Around Nov. 26th the estimated shipping date disappeared. Late in the evening on Nov. 28th the estimated shipping date changed to March 7th, 2012. I'm gonna give them a day or so before I call to cancel my order. Hopefully there's just been a mistake. I will be furious if they confirm this, and now i've missed out on many of the other black friday/cyber monday laptop deals.

I ordered a U400 on Nov 27th, the estimated shipping date is today Dec 2nd, but ... nothing heard from lenovo yet!!

i was quite worried because I won't be at home from Dec 19th... I will call the custom service again today but won't put much hope on it. 

UPDATES" shoot! just saw it that the estimated shipping date changed into Jan 16 2012! NOOOO.... by then I won't even be in U.S!!

Anyone can give me some advise? or any reason it is late as estimated?

same thing happened to me ! did they confirm it ?

I would call.  The system seems to automatically change shipping dates, my U260 was to ship on the 28th of Nov, the date got switched to the middle of December, my computer arrived on the 29th of Nov while the site still showed a middle of Dec shipping date.

thx for your info, that really helps. i will just call them everyday from tomorrow on!

and  because of this, it makes me want my U400 even more!

Also, I would do live chat, they keep you on hold forever while live chat is instant and they will have the info.

I had a rough experience with Lenovo...

Ordered two Y470s on 10/29 with an "estimated" ship date of 11/08.  Put them on my AMEX (standard green card).

On 11/10 I received an e-mail stating my order had been cancelled...after calling in, the only reason I could get was my bank had "not responded".

After unleashing my emotions on a poor saleswoman in North Carolina, my order was reinstated with a estimated ship date of 11/29.  Luckily, they shipped on 11/17.  

Overall, I ended up with the laptops the week after Thanksgiving.
