The EU warehouse is in Germany.
I also take into account that from October 1st to 8th, there was a Guóqìngjié – so if someone took extra days, they were off by two weeks.
It was similar for me (GTi15): purchase, payment, confirmation email, silence; then an email with an inquiry, and I received more information quite quickly (but I still managed to get it – before the holidays). Overall, I ordered two computers from them this year – both arrived fine.
As for the timing – there was and probably still is a lot of demand for the GTR9. It’s unlikely anything will be available “on-site”; you’ll probably have to wait. Maybe not 35 days, but I suspect 20 is standard.
