Has anyone pre-ordered a MacBook (not Pro) from Amazon.com? Just wondering when Amazon is expected to start shipping them. As of tonight, the listings for all the MacBooks still say "Not yet released."
Little help?

Maxwell Smart said:I ordered mine yesterday with overnight shipping (got it for a deal because of free amazon prime trial) and yet it still says shipping July 28th (HA!). I've heard reports that many people are getting theirs in, and that they tend to get a better chance of getting them with the upgraded (one or 2 day) shipping. I just couldn't pass up the $100 rebate. I hope it comes soon
Anyone else out there with orderes from amazon? post in the thread!

I figured I'd get it in a week or so, maybe longer with Memorial Day coming up, and this was based on what people had said about pre-ordering the MacBook Pro from Amazon.
And guess what? Late last Friday night (technically it was Saturday morning since it was 12:17 am in my time zone), I just happened to bop out and check my order, and sure enough, the estimated delivery date had been changed to June 1. So I guess that meant, allowing for the weekend and the holiday, it was going to ship out the next business day, which was Tuesday, May 30, and it was going to ship two day, so I'd get it on Thursday, June 1. (Amazon gave me free Amazon.com Prime shipping for three months. How sweet! Got to remember to cancel in three months! )

Macmall & MacConnection both offer $100 Rebates... I order mine on MacConnection Friday , will have it thursday.
You need to check if they are in stock, both have 800 so you can call. I will rather buy from a computer website then amazon.
I've read on some bargain-hunting sites that if you give Amazon an inquiring call, you might just see your ship date expedited. Also, if you're a Prime member, you tend to get priority over the general free shipping crowd.Benjamin Black said:Ordered a white 1.83 MacBook from Amazon on May 29 - received estimated delivery date of August 1.
