Where is it shipping from? It seems they take some of the machines and work on them in the california plant. I have recieved a macbook during the whole random shutdown thing that had 3 sets of cut seals on it that shipped from california instead of china(I made them send me a new one straight from china). I have also read of it on here a recent post was of a new 24" imac that had the original seal cut and a piece of packing tape over the original seal and the computer wasn't packed very well inside.
I will not accept a computer that has the original seal cut and/or that ships from california instead of china(for a computer that is not keeping up with demand anyway a model that says ships 24 hours then I can understand it shipping from california or somewhere else in the USA as ship over as many of them as possible I imagine and put them in there warehouses.)
