Hi guys, first post here.

Just put an order in for a base spec MBP with upgraded hdd to 250gb (5400rpm) and the glossy screen. All is good, until I seen the shipping time which is estimated at 15-16 April, is this just a lead time to keep their backsides cover or can I expect it to arrive any sooner.

Reason I ask is because even though it said 2-3 days to build my machine it said it would ship with in the next 3-5 days after, but as you can tell the delivery time is much longer. (Order was placed today.)

Any help would be appreciated can't wait for it to turn up.

Cheers,

Johnz0r
 
I don't know if this will apply to the MBPs, but here's my MBA shipping time story.

Thursday afternoon, the the Apple online store said "usually ships in 24 hours" for 1.6/80 MBAs, so I placed an order. I also ordered the Apple Remote, the USB ethernet adapter, and AppleCare.

Got the confirmation email a few minutes later saying to expect delivery in TWO WEEKS. So much for shipping in 24 hours. Apparently adding a remote to a MBA changes the order to "CTO"

The next morning (Friday), I got a shipping notification for the USB ethernet and the AppleCare.

The next morning (Saturday), I got a shipping notification for the MBA.

The both arrived yesterday, after having only placed the order Thursday evening (and choosing free shipping). The MBA at 8:30AM and the rest around noon.

I'm not sure why the delivery email gave a delivery date so far in advance. :confused:
