Expedited shipping brings the price up to $44 - around the same as Viviscal -- any comment?

Non-expedited will take about 1-2 weeks and obviously expedited is faster. If you buy from off the company page then they may give you free shipping if you free expedited shipping if you order several. Contact them about that.

yup, i guess they increased the price since its only newegg and amazon that has this laptop, plus amazon takes "2 to 4 weeks" to ship, so newegg took that as an opportunity to make some extra profit ( bastards)i cant afford to wait that long tho :(amazon might end up getting my extra $50... sigh...although... a friend of mine placed an order for this laptop from amazon... two weeks ago.. and he got it last week friday...so i guess it could take a lesser time than amazon claims it would.

Thanks Bobster- I was also wondering where the link to the rebate had disappeared to. Why is the price of this item so labile? Yesterday, when I ordered it, it was $299 and today it's $364!

Thank you for noticing! I thought I was the only one who questioned this. I would never have known if I hadn't tried to order one for my mom's birthday because she liked mine so much. I nearly dropped my teeth when it was listed at $119.00. I checked the next day and it was $249.00! In addition, there was a new seller. It appears as if the second seller bought out the first one. Other sites seemed to have their stock dried up as well. When I bought mine Amazon sold it and I used my prime membership to save on shipping. Seems like someone figured out a dirty little way to scam us. I wonder how many other low profile products are going the same way. I called customer service. I did not get a satisfactory response, so I e-mailed them just now. I hope they take notice.

I missed out on it on Woot, which killed me! It's funny how this seller (Shoptronics) is currently selling it so cheap ($23.97), but charging $24.97 to ship it. Granted, it's still cheaper than it is in most places, but it's hard to accept a shipping charge so high, LOL, regardless of how cheap the item really is. If they sold it for $49 with free shipping it would appear to be a great deal. Shot logic, I know, but alot of people get miffed at a ridiculous shipping charge, regardless of how it still ends up being cheaper than everywhere else.Amazon.com is selling it for $52.97 w/free shipping, so Shoptronics is still cheaper.November 2008.

Thank you so much! I'll place the order today. Also, is there any way I can pay extra to get it sooner?

Go to who-ever is advertising it at that price and ask them for one at that price. Of course beware of "hidden charges" like "shipping 19.95" added on top of some prices.

I ordered it from Amazon on 4 Dec 10 (three weeks ago) for $260. I see it has been available for first $400 and now $290. I guess they won't ship it to me as long as they are getting orders at a higher price. Shame on Amazon - why did they advertise and take orders if their plan was to delay shipment in favor of newer orders? UPDATE (6 Jan 11): I actually ordered it for $235 (the balance was for the mount), and Amazon has just given me a delivery date. All is well with the world.

It's weird. I didn't even know there was a shipping fee until I saw (in tiny little letters of course) on the upgrade sheet that arrived with my computer. I was curious because, when I processed the 'free' upgrade offer it said It would cost me $11+ for 'shipping and handling'. So I checked the sheet & saw that there is a charge to some locations (?)...I'm not on a different planet or anything, but whatever. It's still a deal. :)

It appears to be the same. This isn't shipped directly from Amazon, though, so it's up to the third party seller to decide on their shipping costs. Don't forget to add sales tax. Apple seems to be the better deal right now.

Bought it with prime yesterday and on the road today already, arriving tomorrow. I guess the shipping period depends on the stock availability, so I guess I am a luck one! :)

Good evening! My name is Emily Rogers, I am an employee at Rogers Family Company, the manufacturer of this and all San Francisco Bay products. Please note we advise to check that the item you are buying says "shipped" and "sold" by Amazon to ensure you are getting the best price. We have not raised our prices, so I have the suspicion a "third party" seller may make those higher prices appear. Sometimes, if Amazon is out of stock of our products, "third party" sellers will appear to meet demand, but usually have higher prices. If you have any further questions about our products please feel free to email me directly at, erogers@rogersfamilyco.com. Thank you, have a nice night!

Purchased mine on January 25th and I'm still waiting in the backorder queue, if that gives you any indication. I'll let you know when mine shows up, as it might give you an idea about yours. Regardless, I think waiting 4 weeks or so for Amazon to restock is well worth paying the MSRP instead of the 20% to 40% markup other online retailers are charging, including some of Amazon's own 3rd party sellers. I don't fault them for charging it though. If consumers are willing to pay the inflated prices then there's no reason a business shouldn't capitalize on it. I'm just saying I won't. waiting 30 days or so for delivery is worth $200 or more in my pocket. End of rant. ;o)

It was probably offered for $9.71 by a 3rd party seller who did not include the shipping costs into their list price. This annoys me when it happens too.

I've been noticing amazon is just slow shipping in general. a couple times i've bought stuff and canceled the unshipped item 3 days later and bought it in a store. buy.com has slightly higher prices but they usually ship within a day. might have to switch
