YES!  you're not alone.  I called yesterday (olpc) and they said they would send it to my PO Box!  Who knows?  I'd cancel but I REALLY want one of these computers.

Yes, still waiting.  Called them last week and they said it would go out by the 15th.  I am still skeptical that it will as lots of other peoples have shipped and mine hasn't.  My number is 7000007xxx, so you can tell I ordered early!

Mine is 70000064xx (yes, in the first six thousand orders...G1G1D1H1)...and I've been on the phone with Greenwood Hall (customer service) 5-6 times. Still no XO and still no tracking#. Planning chargeback on 1/16.

Full saga from other threads if you click my user id.

G1G1D1 donor and a volunteer at OLPC.. and no XO

7000008XXX

I read somewhere that the OLPC CEO doesn't have his yet, and he was the 1st to order! So its not like Brightstar is playing favorites.  Undecided

Day 1 / Hour 2.5 - 7000014xxx ....(plus another order at 700006xxxx). I've confirmed the address (and do not have the standard problems such as PO box or Business name). Nothing in process as far as I can tell.

Day 1 Donor 700001XXXX. I have had similar experiences to those reported by others. I have sent multiple e-mails to OLPC Donor Services, resulting in nothing more than automated responses. I have called OLPC Donor Services multiple times, and I have had multiple conversations with phone reps who seem genuinely caring but lack the authority to solve problems. As of this writing, two months after donating and one month after laptops began shipping, I have no laptop, no shipping date, and no reason to believe that OLPC Donor Services will follow through on anything.

Same here... I'm taking it up with my credit company on the morning of the 16th. Angry

Day 1 Hour 2 via PayPal on the website 7000013XXX (and yes, I was actually charged)

So, to quote from above: "As of this writing, two months after donating and one month after laptops began shipping, I have no laptop, no shipping date, and no reason to believe that OLPC Donor Services will follow through on anything."

Same here. Paypal was charged on the first day and I'm still waiting. I'm getting a bit fed up with it all to be honest - charity or no charity.
