Optimus VII Production Time

[saf94]

I just ordered the Optimus VII custom build laptop a couple of days ago. I've been reading on these forums that there has been a big backlog with the new chassis stock not meeting demand. All these posts were from a few weeks ago so I'm wondering if this issue has cleared up now, has anyone got any recent experience of ordering the laptop, i.e. from this week, is it still taking a long time or is it quicker now?

Edit: Good point made by the poster below about having ordered this week then laptop won't have been delivered. In that case what about people who ordered last week and even if it hasnt delivered what is the current status? Has it been stuck in processing or pre-production or is it moving fairly quickly through the stages?

If someone ordered this week they are unlikely to have received their order since it would usually take more than 5 working days. For an official response you may want to contact PCS directly.

There is a status of lead times thread here: https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?44744-PC-Specialist-Status-Updates, and it was last updated yesterday.

I ordered an Optimus VII on the 15 of this month and it has been dispatched today i think it was a total of 12 working days will get it on Monday. Once it went into build yesterday morning it was quick suggest you are looking at approx 10 working days plus before reaching build. They are busy with back orders because of stock delays and also early Xmas shopping.
