Are there any European membes here with a ''shipped'' status? And what was your original delivery estimation in first place?


thanks

Nope.

I talked to a rep at the flagship store Amsterdam and I was amazed by the fact they didn't even expect display units in the coming week(s). He seemed pretty convinced that for Europe only online sales are available till last week of may. So I ordered one online. Can always cancel or return it if they do show up in stores.

This is one of the weirdest :apple: launches I remember.

I'm from Germany.
Shipment in 3-4 weeks.

I was yesterday in the Apple Retail store. They also don't have any MacBooks yet.
They said that the MacBook will arrive in 3-4 weeks. Same the Apple Online Store shipment status

I think it's like this :
For base model
  • USA - < 3 weeks
  • EU - 3-4 weeks
Gold model or 1.3GHz
  • USA - 3-4 weeks
  • EU - 4-6 weeks

End of the world confirmed. :) But I'm hoping myself for quicker shipping .. that was a huge let-down, having ordered 10 minutes after the shop was up and seeing a 4wk delivery time.

Are you using your primary Apple ID email address? I didn't and got the same message, change the email address to the primary (which is not the one I use to log in) and than it worked.

My Status for my 1.3Ghz Space Gray (the Netherlands):
Processing Items Available to ship: 3-4 weeks
Delivers: 08 May, 2015 - 15 May, 2015

I also ordered a gold 1.2Ghz for my wife and that shows the exact same delivery dates.

Delivers: 07 May, 2015 - 15 May, 2015 by Standard Shipping

I ordered the 1.3gHz 512gb version in space grey on launch day and I am located in Denmark :cool:

I was kinda hoping at least some of us would have seen a status change by now. Guess it's really going to take about a month. O well.

And i'm afraid Apple is giving priority to US buyers, that make the shipping for Europe even longer. I hope it won't be like that but i bet more for the longest shipping dates if it's not more.

Yeah, first Apple will serve their US customers first and then Europe.

My guess we have to wait up to 4 weeks from now. Time will tell! :rolleyes:

You never know. 50,000 ordered is not a lot at all. Apple is going to ramp up production I'm sure and they will probably get caught up sooner than later. I doubt you guys will be waiting that long.

Since 50k isn't a lot at all I would image them not ramping up that much, release weekend in probably the biggest spike in sales and that would mean that a ramped up production would just over-produce in the longer run? I'm guessing it's the better business decision to have us wait longer.

Ramping up watch stuff and obviously iPhone lines (after releases) I can see and would agree with
