The reason they give you your GST back is because they rather you spend your money in Australia than overseas. They are not about to discourage you from that by taxing you when you get back.
Some advice: leave manuals, boxes, etc. at home. Do not bring your receipt on the way back if you can avoid it.

Make it so on 27/11/2011 - 15:57 ¶uhm…. your laptop will depreciate by a fair amount by then. Can't you cancel? It's not really an acceptable timeframe.

Below is the email and status report received from Lenovo after bought it last Sunday.
Dear Customer,
Thanks for choosing Lenovo.
We regret to inform you that due to the supply issue for the Hard Drive that affected by the thailand flood, your order was delayed. This is a serious worldword supply shortage, and we have no forecast or schedule for it yet, which means your order is still pending in our system and we do not have an estimated ship date.
As far as we can see, the supply may start to recover by the end of December, but we are not sure at the moment.
We'll keep close look at the supply status and once there is any update from the plant, we'll keep you informed.
We apologize for the delay and inconvenience.Thanks.

edw0000000 on 27/11/2011 - 17:32 ¶maybe its because of the different model?this one 10247UM your one 10248ym
Freeslave_44 on 27/11/2011 - 21:20 ¶it seems that there is free express shipping as well but only if you buy the stock version, you have to go to the correct page though and skip the $1 accesories (for some reason they render the order as a customized one).. Mine will ship overnight + ~5 business days according to the order confirmation…just in time for my trip overseas. Voila, $371 i3 laptop with dedicated graphics, can't go wrong with that.

So this laptop will actually run Battlefield 3 in low res?

Freeslave_44 on 28/11/2011 - 07:24 ¶I only got the standard one. No customisation as any change seem to mess up the delivery time by a week.
Bargaphile on 28/11/2011 - 11:50 ¶How did you go about getting that price? I could only get $411.75
ReSublimity on 28/11/2011 - 12:53 ¶He's going overseas = claim back on tax when he's going through international terminal.
He will pay $411, but claim back 10%.
some_one_some_where on 28/11/2011 - 14:45 ¶You mean 10/100/1000 port? They all have ethernet ports, they may not have WLAN but surely thay will have LAN port.
CarbonTwelve on 29/11/2011 - 10:23 ¶I received a shipping notification yesterday too, however looking at the details of the email it only has the 'Standard Shipping' with a status of 'Shipped'. Everything else is either 'Processing' (the laptop) or 'Released to Manufacturing' (the accessories).

Ordered too on Sunday. When I called them up, Wendy said that it's all sold out in 'local Australia' (she's in China). Earliest delivery date would be 26 December.
@Glyde62 - you're lucky you got yours already.
@CL7583 - Good thing you called them up early, when did you order yours?I asked her why I wasn't informed earlier and she gave me a cock and bull story that they were in the process of informing their customers now and I just beat them to it. She offered to cancel the order …. but I didn't unless someone else posts a better bargain in OzB :-)
Gee, great deal but lousy delivery times. To what gov't agency to I complain to?
babybasher on 01/12/2011 - 15:23 ¶Same boat as you, except i cancelled my order. Remember its EARLIEST date is 26th dec. Who knows what other deals will be coming around the next month or 2. Complain about what? They have done nothing wrong, you can cancel and get your money back if you want.. If you want to punish them, cancel your order! You get those 3 items for $3 since they've already been posted hehe.
It does suck, because it was a fantastic deal. Pitty their customer service has put me off Lenovo for a long time (hire someone to edit your emails so you don't look like some cheap ebay shop lenovo!).
I think of it like this. Prices can only go down with technology, just wait it out for another 'bargain'

Called Lenovo today demanding an answer as to why my estimated shipping date was march next year, later today i got this email:
Dear Customer,
Thanks for choosing Lenovo.
Due to overwhelming demand, we regret to inform you that your order for Lenovo Z570 laptop (10247UM) has been delayed.
Please note that there has also been an error with our order status system where some customers have been receiving expected delivery date as March 2012, which is incorrect. Your order has now been prioritised and re-scheduled to ship by 26th December 2011 from China. You should normally expect the delivery of your order approximately within 5 to 7 working days after shipment.
We apologise for the delay and inconvenience. We are also expecting the estimated ship date to improve in the coming days. Should there be any further change on the schedule, we will advise you again via email. If you have any further concerns regarding the delivery status, please feel free to ring our hotline at 1300 557 073.
Thank you.
This was meant to be a Christmas present, the $1 accessories have already shipped. If a better deal pops up, will be cancelling asap.

Got the same email. I'm annoyed that they've done this. Particularly after they've already charged my credit card and it said it would ship within 24 hours at time of purchase.
Would've been good customer service to check stock levels first if they knew it was going to be popular, then send the email to advise about the delay and give buyers an option to cancel if they didn't want to proceed.
My last 3 computing purchases that I've made online (includes this one) have all been delayed. All were in stock and ready to ship at the time I bought them but were suddenly out of stock a day or two later.

I got the same delayed until Dec 26 email, however today just received email to say laptop status has changed to SHIPPED 3/12/2011
I logged onto the site to double check my order status and it says
Shipped on
03/12/2011
DHL GLOBAL FORWARDING HONG for the laptopAlso it has a clickable tracking link. Upon clicking tracking link info provided includes: Your order will take approximately 5-7 business days to deliver after your order has shipped.
sideshow1973 on 08/12/2011 - 20:42 ¶firstly - i ordered one last week of november and it arrived 1 day after shipping… i was one of the lucky ones it seems.
secondly - the IDEA25OFF deal works on the Y570 bring the top spec machine under 1000 - pretty good value..
My order finally arrived on 12/12/2011, Monday. Order date was 27/11/2011.
Advice then was 5 business days shipping. Was informed 5 business days after (when it should have arrived)that delivery would be last week of December. 3 days after, got an email advising me that item was shipped. So, it arrived 6 business days after the last advice.
I'm happy with the product but not happy with the delivery. Still a bargain in my eyes though I will be harsh in grading the customer feedback.

yeah.. just discovered that there were both cards!! Never come across that before. dont see the 'switchable graphics settings' you refer too but I assume that it switches over when it needs the extra graphics power (although reading online, this system doesnt seem to work very well)
Thanks :)
