Though i love my apples I must say there online store is really lacking in the shipping department. This always happens to me Oh well as is life

What really breaks my heart is that I drive by the fedex building everyday knowing that it is in there all weekend.

oh god... if yours shipped yesterday and you don't have it, there is no chance for mine which is still sitting in apple's shipping department somewhere (I imagine).

I just got an e-mail from Apple inviting me to the online seminar. Nice... If I actually had any hope of receiving my copy today. Still "preparing shipment" as of 12:15 AM EDT on 4/29.

I haven't gotten Email from Apple since I first got my order confirmation back on the 12th. Not even the return shipment forms I requested this afternoon that they said I would have within an hour...

I'm thinking if I've got nothing to do I might head over to the Apple Store tomorrow to get some sweet door prizes. What time do you suggest I show up?

Me 2

Yeah - I am getting the same thing too. Are you in Canada? Apparently Apple just sent out a whole wack of the Canadian packages today -- Fedex International Economy -- meaning that we won't get them until the 2nd... Grrrr.... I called Fedex and they said this was correct. I called Apple and the monkeys can only take orders after a certain time and not do anything else. Grrrrr...

I think what I will end up doing is just buying it at a store and then when the package comes in not accepting delivery. Apple can figure it out... If they try to charge my credit card I will just file a chargeback request with the credit card company.

The person who handles logistics for that company needs to be replaced!!

Kinda funny to see Apple maintain that my copy of Tiger will ship "on or before 4/28" when it is past midnight in my time zone, as well as much of the world.

If by morning it hasn't changed to something, Apple is getting a call. Even if it finally stops lying and tells me it will ship next week, fine, just tell me already. Don't keep me in limbo.

I'm not even complaining about the fact that it probably won't arrive tomorrow, like it was said to do so. Now I am frustrated that I can't even me fed correct information.

I hear that! By the way it is only 9:28 pm their time...

Major .Mac changes

Has anyone checked out .mac lately? Huge changes to the interface. I don't know if it's beenl ike that for a while, but I haven't seen anything on macrumors about it....so I thought I'd say something

So is anybody in line yet?

I'm waiting outside the Apple stire in Tokyo (Ginza) right now. I showed up around 10am today, but there were only 3 people there. Assured of a good spot in line, I went for a walk and did a little bit of shopping. I came back to the store at noon and only one other person had joined. I had my lunch handy (along with a folding chair), so I staked out spot #5.

It seems everybody is very civil about lining up for stuff here. There's no "you move, you lose" mentality. Everybody gets that you may need to go find some food, a drink - or a bathroom - and it's understood that if you can get your spot back, they can as well.

Before I got in line I went inside the store and played with a couple demo PowerBooks and they all had Tiger loaded and running. Nice!

I also asked if they had combo drive 15" PowerBooks in stock, along with English keyboards - and was told they do. Only 4:20 more until it's mine!

I'm in the same boat your in Dm84,
I was pretty excited to at least see that e-mail, too bad my order is still processing

Oh yes, Cupertino time. I feel like staying up 3 am EST just to spite them. Only in my Tiger-deprived mind could I think staying up until 3 am would be somehow spiting Apple.

Wow, that is a big change. 3.0 as per AppleInsider I suppose.

Here is confirmation of the.Mac Widgets for Dashboard:

I'm in the same boat as you guys, (along with a few of my friends as well). I ordered from the education store on the 21st, and was told I would have it by tomorrow. I called two days ago to make sure that they would deliver on time, they said they would. I called this afternoon, they confirmed the same thing. Its 10PM est and my order is still "preparing to ship". This is very angering since the main reason I ordered online was so I could be sure to have it tomorrow! gah!!

DDoS attack to tnt.com

Hi,

my copy of Tiger will probably arrive today. It's 7 AM and according to the tracking it is already in town. But the tnt.com online tracker crawls like hell. Seems like all the Tiger buyers are DDoS-ing tnt.com-s servers

Same here. Only 2 more hours to go until 3 am. I think I can make it. They don't realize how big an inconvenience it would be if I don't receive my copy today. I had my whole day planned out for this.

bit off topic, but I go to general admission concerts all the time and thats how it works here (SC).

Oh yeah, and I hope I get Tiger tomorrow too!

1.5 more hours...I can't see much in doing this though. The way this day has been going, the clock will strike 3 AM, the order page will not change, I will be extremely tired, and my Tiger-less day tomorrow will be even more screwed up due to my disturbed sleep pattern.

With that said, I go to bed hoping all of us souls, to whom Apple is "preparing shipment" of Mac OS X 10.4 "Tiger" to us "on or before 4/28."

HA HA HA. Pathetic.

EDIT: Hey guys.....DON'T LOSE FAITH YET

I think I got angry enough that Steve decided to ship my Tiger!

amen to that. I'm also heading to bed. I'll be dreaming of ways to torture whoever is in charge of shipping at apple.

My status just changed as well. Now I have to find the tracking number somehow.

you guys are giving me hope, my status still hasnt changed though... holding out hope

Mine too. I just wonder if the lack of a tracking number means that it won't be on a fedex truck until Friday night with a monday or tuesday delivery.

I thought I was going to have to wait for an email from Apple, but I got the FedEx tracking number posted online, on the Order History page.

I just crashed: Estimated delivery date: May 2, 2005 by 4:30 pm.

It did say it was picked up at 8:04 pm, left "origin location" at 10:32, arrived at the FedEx ramp at 11;37 in Middletown, PA, and left two minutes later...so maybe it is moving fast!

Grrrr...getting my hopes up for 20 minutes.

Still no link for a tracking number yet. If I find the status of the package to be at my local FedEx facility by tomorrow night I'll drive over there and pick it up.

I might have to do the same. I am so ready for it to come already.

Look, I almost made it to 3 AM. Time for bed.

Good luck to you all!

Same here. Left the middletown ramp at 11:36pm, hopefully that means it will get on a truck for delivery in the morning. Our one hope is that Fedex likes to under promise and over deliver. I've had this happen many times with them, esp. on Apple shipments.
