HP Mini-Note 2133 experiencing shipping delays
While there has been some reports of the HP Mini-Note 2133 shipping out and landing in users hands, we have seen reviews as well as unboxings begin to appear online, but it turns out that not all of the Mini-Note’s are shipping as expected.
I placed an order for the 1.6GHz Windows Vista Business model on April 12 and was initially given an ‘estimated’ shipping date of April 18. Without any notification from HP and no sign of HP charging the card, a quick check of the status online revealed very little information, it actually told me that the order number was “not found in the Vista.” With a little bit of worry beginning to set in a quick call to HP resulted in yet worse news.
An agent was kind enough to take the order number and place me on hold, only to come back and let me know that she would have to get back to me in a few hours. I simply cannot imagine it taking several hours to check on whether an item is going to ship, but I guess that is how they do things. After a few hours, well actually about 6 hours later I received the dreaded email stating the Mini-Note 2133 was indeed delayed, until mid-May.
“The supplier is reporting a 5/16 ship date but we are working on bringing this date in.
Please check back on Monday for an update.”
Of course we are still unsure if this delay is affecting all models, or just some. Has anyone else been experiencing Mini-Note shipping delays? I would hate to think I are the only one, of course there is still hope, albeit little that the Mini-Note will ship before May 16.

Its really unfortunate, hopefully they will ship a little quicker!
on April 21, 2008 at 11:03 AM - LINKI placed my order 4/14 with ship date of 4/21. I called HP today and they said ship date is now middle of May. I asked if they have any other hp2133 version available but said nothing is in stock right now. hmmmm…
on April 22, 2008 at 05:15 PM - LINKSame here, They are suppose to ship it on May 7th, I hope they don’t take longer than that, cause if not I might have to cancel it, we should everybody complain so they might take it more serious..
on April 23, 2008 at 12:17 PM - LINKHP 2133 Mini-note, I order my unit 4/11, they took until 4/15 to clear the credit card; gave me a 4/18, then 4/21 ship date. I called and could not get confirmation. Now they claim mid-May. Funny the web site doesn’t mention anything about 2-3 month backorders. I made it a point to call before ordering to findout if the product was instock and shipping when I placed an order. I guess I’ll stick with my 7” Vye S37 for now!
