How long did you wait for your PC?

[MrRaich]

I'm itching with excitement for my new PC, and it's only just got onto the Pre-Production stage! I know, sad times indeed. But I've seen many a story of delivery times of up to a month! Seeing as I haven't even ordered a graphics card with my rig (buy separately) I'm hoping it'l only be in Pre-Production for 3-4 days.

So, how long did it take for your PC to arrive?

(excluding you '3-5 day fast build' annoying people!)

mine took just over 3 weeks if memory serves me correctly, but a portion of that was waiting for an out of stock item. as soon as I was made aware of it, I changed my order and it went through the following stages pretty fast

 

[DeadEyeDuk]

From pre-production to sitting in my hall, 16 days. Take out 4 weekend days and you're bang on the 12 day estimate

Like in so many threads Raich, you have to remember that a high % of people that have a hold up/like to moan will do so on the forums. a VERY low % of people that have no hold ups/all on time/arent too bothered about a few more days never even register, let alone post

The wait will become unbearable at times, but just think of the many days after this short period!

ordered on the 22-12-2010 and had to wait till next year to get it

or more precisely 21-01-2011

BUT IT WAS WORTH IT and that's actually not bad considering it was the busiest time of the year, christmas break for the staff (lazys ) and there were no 580s in the country or something , plus they had to deal with me

20 working days for both, wasn't a parts shortage that i was made aware of, so just unlucky I guess

Don't forget, if loads of fast tracks get ordered then yours will get pushed back accordingly. I personally don't like fast track, as for a custom built bit of kit, the thought of it getting processed, built, tested and dispatched all in 5 days would suggest a bit of a rush job to me.

Apart from that, the wait will be worth it

I'm on 11 working days, but the last 2 days have been in quality control. It failed on something, dunno what but glad it was spotted.

 

[DeadEyeDuk]

@Rich. I make that 13 or 14 working days for both

Don't forget, it only really starts once in Pre-production, because the processing part is often out of their hands (finance/card auth etc). So from 3rd of May to 20th of May, you were pretty much bang on the money

 

[Devize]

From a laptop perspective, ordered 20th June and recieved 27th June and didnt pay for any fast track services so was understandably delighted with the turnaround.

16 days for my first one, 3 for my second (fast track)
