If it's Thursday evening and it's ready to be dispatched, then pay for Saturday delivery if you want it sooner
That's what I did with my PC.
Anyone placed an order lately?

This is going to make you young 'uns chuckle, but when I was a lad (and that's a long time ago) I was well into home electronics (transistors were only just becoming commercially available back then). I decided to build my own stereo amp (stereo was a big deal back then too). Here's how it went....
1. Buy a home electronics magazine. Find an advert for a company that sold all the components you wanted.
2. Write off (we didn't have a telephone then) for their catalogue. Wait two weeks.
3. Browse the catalogue making a list of all the components you needed. Add up the total and add the shipping cost.
4. Go to the Post Office and buy a postal order for the amount you had to pay.
5. Write a letter containing your order (or use the form in the catalogue if it had one), enclose the postal order, and post it. Wait three weeks to a month.
6. Receive box of parts. Unpack excitedly.
7. Realise you forgot to order some parts. Go back to item 1 again.
Now you can order a PC online and get it delivered and working in a couple of weeks! Next thing you know they'll be sending men into space....! 🧐

I think the time scale on the website is misleading. I ordered 16 May and went pre-production 22 May.
On Monday, I saw "order 1 June, get 17 June", and yesterday "order 2 June, get 18 June". Well, 16 May to 2 June is the same 17 days and my machine hasn't started build.
So, the 12-14 days might be the time for getting the parts on the bench. But doesn't include build, soak testing, despatch and delivery. Add another 7 days for that. Customer service said build late this week.
The website shouldn't be so optimistic. Order 3 June, get 25 June would be a more accurate banner.

I think all the people waiting on the laptop frame that people have been going onabout that have finally come in have taken priority. my mate ordered the same pc as me a week earlier and on the 12th day went to in building and he had it 2 days later. I ordered mine 17th May now on working day 13 and still in pre production. I see a lot of people on here saying their laptop orders have gone into building over the last couple of days. It is frustrating but what can you do just got to wait it out. Every day I look the average delivery days keeps going up now on 17.13 days. I don't think we will get ours until mid next week unfortunately

Please bear in mind that 2 different systems order
The time scale isn't really misleading, just most people will think ti means time to order to time of receipt....the time scale is the current "lead time" which usually refers to the time prior to something taking place, in this case being a system being built. So, while I believe it's still accurate, most people won't understand what lead time actually means

You won't get that time scale...even with an expedited 5 day build before all this happened, a build started on Monday got delivered Thursday
Including the recent Bank Holiday, so 13 days.
No, nothing special except for a couple of emails asking on the progress (told yesterday it would be next week) Hopefully yours will go into building tomorrow also.
did it go to in-building mid day or early morning? im 14 days tomorrow and praying mine goes to in-buildingMy PC has finally been built on the 14th working day. Excited

This whole thread is all about giving false hope, seriously not good for anyone.
As the Shawshank Redemption tagline said -
"Fear can hold you prisoner. Hope can set you free (from the refresh button)."
did you order on the 17th? and has yours gone into build today mines the 14th day and still pre production I will wait around dinner time and if not will contact them to see if there is any issues contemplating cancelling and just getting a next day one

I read a post somewhere on the site that said some components (especially PSUs) are becoming harder to source so that would likely explain the increase in lead time....not sure why you seem happy about the 1 day slower lead time though At least, that's how your post comes across to me (I am probably just reading it wrong...wouldn't be the first time I've misunderstood the tone of a post )
