Build times!

[Khal El]

Ahh looks like from this thread, the average total arrival time from Xoticpc will be 20-24 days from purchasing to receiving package.

But then again, most here did order before the 3rd gen IB came out so maybe Sager held it back so it can be added.

I ordered mines on May 1 and it got processed on May 2nd and sent to Phase 2 same day. But I assume production started May 3rd.

Hopefully mines will be ready some time next week since they have the IB's in stock. If it ends up the same route as you guys, guess I should of rushed, leaving abroad near end of May :/

Does anyone know if build times progress on weekends? I imagine it could be different depending on the seller too.

My first laptop (np8170) was pretty fast through xoticpc. I want to say it was like 10 days until it was in the mail from ordering, maybe a day or two less than that. The IVB delay is making every sager reseller look slow right now.

Yes, its going to be different depending on each. I know Mythlogic works half days on weekends and stages do progress.

I'm pretty sure all resellers process the orders and maintain the accounts but the actual laptops are built by Sager at Sager and then shipped direct to the customers, unless, there's a specific need for the reseller to have the laptop shipped to them first prior to going out to the customer.

As far as MSI, Asus, and other major brands, It would seem reasonable that they do those customizations in-house.

No, from what I've heard is that the resellers order the parts from Sager and then build it themselves, then ship it to the customers.

From what I've seen with the Xoticpc tour of their new facility on their site, it looks like they order the bare bones from Sager and have their assemble team put it together and then package and ship it themselves. The placed looked very structured.

And I remember reading how Sager only shipped their stuff in a single box while resellers have it double-boxed after burn ins then shipped

The way I said it was a nice way of putting it... Sager does the building.

Here is an email conversation I had within the last week... Names are withheld to protect the innocent.

Me:
I did not know Sager handled the build, burn-in, shipping, etc... I thought it was handled at XOTIC PC... So maybe some of my email before and after the below email was a little on the naive side of things...

I apologize as you have no control over their processes/notifications/etc.


CSR:
Hello Jamie,
Don’t worry about it, a lot of people don’t know exactly how it works. As long as we get it all figured out in the end that’s all that matters. While Sager does the build you still want to contact us for any questions.

There may be some truth to both what I said and what you say...?

Yea we work 7 days a week. I'm working on a fleet of Chaos 1212s (W110ER) right now
