a note to ebay sellers
Look, you aren't fooling anyone with that small notice for $55 S/H. I'm not retarded enough to even think that's the real cost of S/H a friggin product. I realize you're just padding your profits a bit more.
But please, if I pay $55 for S/H, don't delay sending out the package. Most of us have expectations that the package should get to our house say ... 3 days after I pay for it. Not unreasonable. In fact, in my other 72 eBay auctions, that was the standard. Even my camera from Hong Kong got to me in three days. And if you're in Texas, you really have no excuse.
You see, I bought something from Dallas Laptops. I paid for it Saturday morning, expecting it to be shipped Monday. I receive notice that they've input the billing Monday night. No problem... I guess the package is going out Monday night.
Wrong. It turns out they just got the billing in on Monday night, and on Tueday night, they decided to actually ship the package. And of course, given the $55 S/H cost, do they ship it air? Nahhhh. They ship it standard mail (which I calculated on UPS's site as costing a whopping $24.50). 3 day ground. Of course, that means the package should be in my hands right now. But UPS has decided my package should go sight-seeing to as many possible locations as possible!!! Given the fact that it "departed Atlanta at 10:51am" and still hasn't gotten to Greensboro (which I believe is the local sorting center), I'm not too optimistic I'm going to get the package today.
So please eBay sellers, if you're going to overcharge for S/H, please at least ship the package out on the same day. If I want to pay an extra $25 for people to dillydally for two days, I can pay myself to do that.

I guess it's obvious but I hope you've gotten a new laptop, because that other one looks like you got it out of the trash.

Glad to see you actually registered. :P

I guess you must have made some pretty decent money in Asia and from LB7 to be buying a 2400.00 laptop...
I've been registered for quite some time but I can no longer post anon so I have to login.
I liked it better the other way...
Also you can leave negative or netural feedback if you feel you got ripped off on the shipping and if your order took to long to ship, I don't know what their eBay policy is but on their site they say they ship within twenty-four hours....

Given that tablet pcs are pretty on-par with most craptops nowadays in terms of specs, I figured dropping a few more hundred for the tablet PC option wasn't a bad investment for the next 2-3 years.

I see an M1400 for 1800.00 on eBay, about 600.00 less than you paid.
I would have gotten an Inspiron 700M for half the price.

512MB RAM, 40GB hard drive, and "View Anywhere" option cannot be found on eBay for a cheaper price than what I paid. :P

Either way I would have gotten something else tablet boy.....
