I ordered my stock 17" last night, and it's scheduled to ship on 2/17.

I'm hoping that they're just waiting for more stock, and that it'll ship before then. Given that several people have had their ship date pushed back to the same date, this will probably be the case.

My wife just got her 15" BTO this morning. She's replacing an old 15" titanium, while I'm changing my 1GHz 12" to a secondary machine.

My 17" BTO HAS BEEN DELAYED!!!! NOOOOOOOOO!

Orinigally it was supposed to ship on or before 2/7/05

IT WAS CANCELLED YESTERDAY!

And then shipping was updated to on or before 2/17/05.

This is seriously annoying.

Send me my G0Sh darn p0werb00k Steve, or I'll drive by Infinite Loop and throw poo at your employees.

Seriously, I'm 10 minutes away. And I can find fecal matter.

I can understand your pain. Mine was on or before today and it hasn't changed on the status page yet. I have no news about the new shipping date but I guess it's going to be delayed like yours. Maybe Apple didn't tought they would sell as much PB and they ran out of stock...

I ordered my stock 17" last night.

Estimated ship date: 2/17.

Except for one thing...I just checked the status, and as of 5:17PST, IT SHIPPED!

WOOT! *happydance!*

Ok, apparently I'm going to be saying "holy crap!" quite a bit tonight.

I just got the confirmation of shipping from Apple, with a tracking number.

It's not being shipped from China, but from Sacramento, CA! And it's scheduled to be delivered TOMORROW!!!


*sound of jaw hitting floor*


I smell a sick day at work tomorrow...

Looks like the online store availabilities have shiften a bit.

Both 12" models are down to 1-3 days.
15" Combo is amazingly shipping same day now.
My 15" Superdrive is still 7-10. Ouch. :rolleyes:
17" has been bumped up to 4-6 days.

The must have really caught up on the 15 combo.
Its great to hear of the quick 17 shipments for you guys. Makes me more anxious. Trying not to get religiously angry though. Just wanna play.

Just hope I have the same luck. I like that idea. Brace yourself for a 2/17 ship... only to find its on its way, and you get to play tomorrow.

sweet.

Got it!

Well here I am, typing this message on my brand new 15" powerbook. Guess what that means?? Yup! They delivered a day early!

FedEx came through for me, despite worries about it being stuck in the Phillipines ;) [BTW, FedEx's superbowl commercial rocked]

I hope you other guys who are still waiting get yours soon! You'll be so very happy when you do... :D

UPS online tracking said that delivery was rescheduled for today however nothing ever came :(

I am really hoping that they do it for tomorrow instead of the original date of Thursday. My Booq PowerSleeve just showed up, my ScreenProtector is due tomorrow before noon (weird that they gave me a time) and all I now need is the actual PB!

Hurry UPS, hurry! Please make my day tomorrow, at this rate it will make my whole year to date!

Read my post on page 5...my delivery said it was going to be on 2/7...they took that off, and told me now 2/10...it is still in Alaska, and I still can't figure out why ours came UPS and the rest came fedex

"Going Parcel"

I (Jeremy Karney) would like to be the first to coin the phrase "Going Parcel" instead of going postal.

Going Parcel (go-ing par-cell)
adj.
a. The insanity that comes from constant refreshing of a package tracking site such as http://www.ups.com, or http://www.fedex.com.
b. The acting out of the previous insanity by knocking off any UPS of Fedex truck in site, drastically searching for the above mentioned package.

Looks like I'm a little late to the party - I gave myself a little time to think it over before I hit "submit" - but here's my shipping info:

15" PB 1.67GHz (CTO with 128 VRAM)
Order placed 2/7
Estimated ship: on or before 2/22

I've waited 3 years to get a 15" PowerBook, and it's finally my time. Sorry, but I gotta do it: w00t. :D

It's on its way...

TNT Says:
Out For Delivery STANSTED, GB 09 Feb 2005 07:06

How long does it take to drive from Stanstead to Ipswich ?

Now I am getting excited!

Have fun with your new PBs everyone - sounds like it takes the same time to deliver a new PB to most places in the western world!

I hate Apple.
My 17 powerbook has been delayed to "On or before
03/03/2005".
I can't believe this, I ordered the same day they were annouced. I'm not gonna wait and check this order page for another month.
This is the second time i'm buying from the Apple Store, i paid the fast shipping everytime and i've had a delay the first time too. I hate false advertising. Apple was saying 3-5 days when i ordered and now they are telling i will get my 4000 dollars in march. Maybe i should cancel. I'm pissed with this company.

You are entirely correct. I called this morning because they had bumped the delivery to the 8th, then all of the sudden this morning the site does not even post a delivery date at all! :eek:

I called the UPS man and he said that it is "In Transit" to Louisville Kentucky!....why!? I live in Michigan, that doesn't seem to make sense. I mean, who cares what else they have going to Louisville, it should hub through Chicago or something.

He said the estimated delivery was still on the 10th, "guarenteed" :p

Now I'm sad. I was all worked up yesterday looking out the window all afternoon, even cut out on class to get to the offices before they closed....nothing. It will take me until the 10th just to mop up all the tears.

They have said the 10th on mine as well...but the tracking still shows mine leaving Alaska last Sunday but not arriving anywhere. Let's hope it's wrong.
