"Shipment is being held by brokerage for reasons beyond UPS’ control"
Recently my company bought me a Thinkpad for work use to replace my current laptop. Those of you who know me know that I haven’t been to thrilled with my current laptop, so I’m just not going to talk about it anymore.
The wait for the Thinkpad to arrive has been painful! The ship date on Lenovo’s site changed on a daily basis - and then today it magically said “shipped”. Awesome!
Until I saw this:
So close! Yet so far! This machine has managed to travel from Hong Kong to California - but now is mysteriously being held. Fortunately, I’ve seen this happen before - and I seem to recall it being released the next day. So with any luck, I should have a new Thinkpad by Friday.
I can’t wait!

This might have something to do with customs laws about radio-emitting devices, such as the laptop’s wifi card. I had a laptop shipped into the US once, and I got a call from a Fedex customs clearing person asking where the laptop was bought and what make it was; they were happy to find out it was bought in the US and had the blessing of the FCC.
Enjoy the new Thinkpad!
