I know I am not the only person who worries about whether something they have ordered will ever arrive. I am no exception.
In my last post I said the guy had stated he had mailed the RAM the week before. Not true. He had mailed the RAM on April 6. Apparently he waits a week and mails out all the RMA replacements on the Friday a week after he receives the returned merchandise. It also takes 7 whole days to get a first class mailing from Georgia, which is weird because I can get a first class mailing from Texas in 3 days.
The RAM arrived on April 14. I opened the package and found 2 new RAM chips in actual RAM chip plastic containers (something I had not gotten in the last 2 shipments and the RAM was name brand. The RAM was also the type that I knew would work in my machine. I shut down my machine, unplugged it, removed the battery and replaced my old RAM with the new RAM. The machine fired up like a champ and has been working flawlessly since.
March 1 – April 14 to get the RAM. I felt I was back in the ’80’s before FedEx changed the way we expect to receive mail and packages, but I am finally a satisfied customer with 2 gigs of RAM in my laptop!
