WTF

I go to check my shipment status for my Lenovo T61 (specs in sig) when I notice this:


Location Date Local Time Description
LOUISVILLE,
KY, US 08/07/2007 12:36 P.M. THE SHIPMENT IS BEING HELD BY BROKERAGE FOR REASONS BEYOND UPS' CONTROL


....wtf? I'm ****ed, I'm supposed to get it by Thursday but I'm sure that this will delay it. Any idea of why it's being held?

OK a quick google search made me feel a little better, I guess that the whole 'being held by brokerage' thing is normal

Thats sort of crazy. Never heard of a company shipping out expensive items without an invoice lol.

Ok, everything seems to be back on route again, I should have the laptop tomorrow. I'm gonna start a new thread with pics and a review when I get it :)

Strange. I ordered a spare battery from them over the weekend and when I checked I saw the same message,
