How Long For Mini Delivery?!?

[ricport]

I bought a Mac Mini w/ a Superdrive on 1/25. In my confirmation e-mail from Apple, it states that it will be shipped on or before 2/24. I'd just like to know from any of you out there that have bought a Mini if it'll indeed take that long to ship, or are they sending them out sooner?

Thanks!

i think if it say's that then you should call apple , but delivery is very poor at the moment i orderd a iPhoto book at then end of jan and i'm still waiting ! was hoping it would be here by the 14th for my mrs

Apparently apple underestimated the success of the mini and didn't make nearly enough for the sudden craze of buyers. So I wouldn't be overly surprised if it takes as long as they're saying. You could always get lucky though.

I ordered my mac mini from macmall on Jan 15th.

1.42 ghz with superdrive.

Last I called, shipping date was Feb 18th.

Get in line :(

I know UK shipping times aren't necessarily relevant to you guys in the US, but I ordered a Mac mini for my neighbour on February 2nd, and it arrived with her on February 4th! We were quoted the standard 3-4 weeks delivery.

Needless to say, I was stunned, especially given that Apple UK are usually very slow in shipping new products.

Apple always "underestimates" the demand. :rolleyes:

I, too, have ordered a Mac mini, a 1.42 w/Superdrive. I just got an email from Apple saying that shipping has been delayed to March 9. :mad:

[N10248]

mine has been "on or before 1/3/05" since i ordered it over aweek ago

ive ordered a 1.42/80gb/512/airport/bluetooth/superdrive with wireless keyboard/mouse, some soundsticks and a 1gb shuffle, and i expect it will take as long as it says.

dont mind though as i expected a long wait all along.

bye

March 9. :mad:

Ouch...

[Dont Hurt Me]

Mine is on the way :D FedX has it at their Shenzhen location. Maybe ill have it by Friday. Those pilots need to use them afterburners.

[Calvinatir]

I ordered my mini on Jan 25th as well. 1.42 with BT and AE. It was originally estimated at Feb 24th, and I got an email last night saying it will now be March 9th. GGRRRR

[macdaddy121]

I ordered mine on 1/24 and I recieved the email saying it would be March 8th about thursday of last week and then yesturday I checked my order status and it just left the fedex in sacramento, ca. On its way to my home. So I would try to be patient.

[redeye be]

I ordered my mini 1.42 on the last day of januari. :)
airport + bleutooth - as opposed to what i concluded in a 'what-to-buy' thread :rolleyes:

estimated shipping is on or before march 7th.
I hope it won't take them longer :(

a mini :D

Cheers

I'd like to be the FedEx rep for Apple. That dude has gotta be loaded. :p

[Dont Hurt Me]

""update" just checked and the 1.42 is suppose to be in Yahooville S.Carolina by noon on the 11th of this month. 2 more days. Fri - afternoon. that will be 10 days ahead of their original estimate for me getting it.

[Lancetx]

Looks like things are at least headed in the right direction. I see that the wait times have dropped from 3-4 weeks down to 2-3 weeks for new orders on the Apple Store this morning.

[willyhunt]

I ordered mine on the 5th February and its showing on or before March 7th. I really do hope though that Apple get it out before then, its not much fun using an old smashed up PC. :(

[Dont Hurt Me]

For me its a new OS since iam on XP & Jag, new ilife05 since i dont have gargeband or the newer updates, 2 Free games. The way i see it iam paying about $250 for a new machine that comes with a warranty,proven over and over top end G4 design :rolleyes: in a package smaller then anything out in the PC world without the constant viruses,updates and quircks. Plus look at how green it is. Max power usage is 85 watts that means ill be averaging about 40 watts. It would be easy for Apple to throw in a 64 bit video and then this is a world beater Bar none. Anyone tell im just a little excited. :)

[macrlz9]

sorry to tell ya guys but i got my mini on the 25th i believe and i've upgraded the memory to 512 i love it!

[Dont Hurt Me]

sorry to tell ya guys but i got my mini on the 25th i believe and i've upgraded the memory to 512 i love it!
But have you upgraded the cpu? ;) 1.5, 1.6 ;)

[macrlz9]

But have you upgraded the cpu? ;) 1.5, 1.6 ;)

no i wish, but i would never dare take a soldering iron to my mini! maybe if it was possible thru the software or something... but before this i had a 700mhz G3 iBook as my main computer. so the jump is quite nice, but with 256mb memory i didn't realize how you can barely use the computer with 256 i mean it should be against the law to come with 256mb for a mac..

[Influx]

I am in Canada;

Ordered on 01/23/2005, to arrive on or before 02/22/2005.

1.25Ghz
Extras were Airport and boosted RAM to 512MB

*waiting* :(

[gekko513]

Mac mini 1.42GHz with all the upgrades, ordered on Jan 13th, shipping on or before Feb 17th.

[chan0429]

Anyone else got a 1 month lead time?

Also how much of a difference do you think will I notice between the 1.25 and the 1.42 Ghz models?

I ordered with 512MB, SuperDrive and AirPort Extreme. I plan on using an External USB 2.0 HD w/ this as well.

[Nomad]

I ordered my mini, 1.25/512/combo. and originally the guy at apple said it would ship on 2-15, i ordered on 2-4. then i get the email saying march 9.

so i called them, only slightly angry :mad: , i asked when my new ship date was, and the guy told me 3-3-05.

EDIT: cancelled with apple, and then ordered from microcenter. they have them instock as you read this. sure it costs a bit more, but im getting mine on tuesday. its a base model, but the ram is on its way too, and im headed to lowes hardware tomorrow to get sandpaper, and a putty knife.



:( :(

[cubixcrayfish]

MY MAC MINI IS SITTING IN ANCHORAGE, I ordered mine that saturday after the announcment, 512 MB RAM superdrive, Ship date of Feb 22nd

[tweakers_suck]

mouse on Jan 23. The original ship date was Feb 22, however, the actual ship date was Feb 7 and is now expected via FedEx by 1030 on Feb 11. Happy days!

[numediaman]

I know that quite a few people have received e-mails from Apple pushing back their delivery date. I've been waiting for my e-mail and it came this morning. But, surprise, it was the shipping notification! Unfortunately, the mini is still not stateside, so I will probably not get it until the 21st -- but at least its in transit.

[tweakers_suck]

than I expected afterall. One of my pc coworkeres remarked that opening all of the packaging was kind of like a Russian Faberge egg- it just keeps getting smaller and smaller until you finally get to the mini itself!

[dkeninitz]

I ordered a Mac Mini from Apple on 1/17; 1.42ghz, 512MB, AirPort and SuperDrive and it arrived 2/2.

[billystlyes]

[Dont Hurt Me]

Whats wrong with this thread? Update MacMini arrived in Savannah Ga 6am. should have it this afternoon. Case anyone is interested mymini flew from China to Alaska to Indianapolis to Savannah to Yahooville S.C. This took about 5 days to go around the planet case anyone is just curious and this was FedX Ground. :) not bad eh? good job to FedX .

[willyhunt]

I ordered a 1.25 with 80gb HD and Superdrive upgrades. Going to do the memory myself. And its showing 7/3.

[Daedalus]

Ok, so I'm waiting very impatiently for my Mini, a 1.42 with the Superdrive. Ordered 2/6, estimated ship date 3/8. Already got a gig stick of ram at home waiting to pop in.

Apologies to Dire Straits in advance...

I want my, I want my Mac Mini
I want my, I want my Mac Mini

Now look at them Mac boys, that's the way you do it
You spend your precious dollars on a Mac Mini
That ain't workin', that's the way you do it
You get your iLife for nothin' and you're virus-free
Now that ain't workin, that's the way you do it
Let me tell ya, them guys ain't dumb
Never stuck with spyware on your favorite browser
Never have a pop-up spoil your fun

We got to install Microsoft Windows
Custom pc security
We got to use these virus scanners
We got to keep our Windows clean

I shoulda learned to play the guitar
I shoulda learned to play them drums
Look at that Mac boy, he's doing it all on his lonesome
Man, I want Garageband
I'm stuck here, pissed off, with my blue screens
Banging on this Dell box like a chimpanzee
Oh, this ain't workin', the Mac's the way you do it
You get your iLife for nothin', and you're virus-free

I want my, I want my Mac Mini
I want my, I want my Mac Min
