Is anyone elses MBP shipping from Shanghai China? Just saw my tracking and its listed as leaving Chinagoing to be a long flight!
It won't take as long as you'd think. They do it all the time. It's say by friday, you'll be using your new MacBook Pro.
Enjoy!
Here's just a guess.
Apple has a deal goign with FedEx to store a boat load in their California locations (a few members have said they had it shipped from there)
Once they were out of stock (or if you order a BTO) they are shipped straight from China

man mine hasn't even shipped yet. Mind you I'm in Vancouver and I BTO'ed the 7200rpm 320gig drive. Man I can't wait but it says probbably wont be delivered till next tuesday.
would I have been able to get that drive if I got it in the store? or do they not have any BTO options in the store?

How come yours has already shipped? I ordered mine:
Order Date: Oct 14, 2008 at 02:54 PM PDT
MBP 15.4/2.53/4GB/320@7200/with mini display port - DVI adapter
Only today has it gone to "prepared to ship"
which BTO options did you get? also did you get any of the mini display port adapters?
I don't think the display adapters have any effect on your shipping time if the MBP is already BTO. I know my display adapter has already shipped and my MBP is still "not shipped"
Mine has said this since last night:
"Oct 16, 2008 1:00 PM
Left FedEx origin facility
SHANGHAI CN"
Was hoping to get it on Friday but that's looking doubtful now. I'm going to be out of town Monday too, dang.

As of right now my computer is in the air From Anchorage, AK en route to Spokane, WA where I live....so Im just hoping that tomorrow is the magic day...if it doesnt get on a delivery truck, I will see if Its at least at the facility so I can go pick it up
Thanks a lot! I just hope it actually gets to a local facility so its at least an option for me to pick it up, i have a 3 day weekend and would love to play around with my MBP a bit....I'm a new mac user, well, at least since the imac graphite
You guys realise how many cargo flights there are every day, right? China to NY, via AK, in 15 hours. this is happening numerous times a day. The world is not as big as it used to be. In this day and age, shipping from China will make hardly any difference to it shipping from the other side of the US.
Mine just updated. It's still in transit from Shanghai with an estimated delivery of October 21 by 10:30am. I'm gonna call and get a refund on the overnight shipping. Really wanted it for the weekend, I'll be at the Apple Store this weekend and could have just bought one there. Ugh.
To my surprise i checked my status just now and Its delivered!!! Its at the student mail center, so I'll be rollin' to pick it up in an hour after class!! Cant believe it got here so fast, I feel fortunate that I'll be able to tinker with it all weekend!

Wow! When did yours ship?
