Hi - has anyone received ANY MBP shipments from MacMall yet, especially if they had RAM installed?? My acct exec says it will take a bit of time since they have to get the RAM. I was supposed to be in the first group for delivery. No estimate, and my order still shows "backordered". I wonder if I'm being lied to, or what...

The available credit on my credit card has not been reduced, so I really can't complain too much. I placed my order on 2/3; I don't know if the info relayed here about 10K units arriving at MacMall earlier this week would have included my machine or not, or if that info was accurate.

Most of their MBP RAM "ships same day," but I cannot figure out which stick they are supposed to install. All of them are less than the $229 they are charging me for it.

I also ordered a new iPod at the same time. That shipped 2/3, and MacMall included the "free" Wacom tablet with that order. I guess I'll need to return that item since I don't want to pay for it, and I don't have the Apple serial # info required to fulfill the rebate. I'm supposed to have that rebate postmarked by today!

Last week at this time, I expected the computer to arrive in the middle of next month at the earliest. So I guess i should be patient.

EDIT: FWIW, I phoned MacMall about the Wacom tablet, and they said that my machine should ship on 3/3. I think.

Yeah, mine has been in China since feb 22 9:30 Pm their time. Picked up after fed ex cut off. I do remember reading in another post that people had tracking problems, and then it just arrived at their door 2-3 days after. I am still holding out some hope for a Friday delivery. I also read that Apple will not let these be picked up at fed ex- so that looks like it rules out Sat. Just another Manic Monday to quote Prince....

Still waiting for that thing to arrive in Anchorage? Since mine left Shanghai 40 hours ago, I'm beginning to picture a plane crash myself...islands that far north must be chilly compared to the castaway setting...

Some times when packages go through the sort facilities they fail to get scanned until the next facility it happens to approx every 1 of 500 boxes.
so i am Told!
 
It's here!

Or rather, it's there. I just checked my Fed-Ex shipping and my computer has been delivered to my house a full day ahead of schedule. (Or weeks ahead, or a week late, depending on how you look at it. I first had a 15th ship-date, then a 28th with 7th of March delivery, then it shipped and said it would be delivered tomorrow.)

The only bad part is that I am in Ann Arbor, Michigan at school and I won't get my computer until I go home for Spring Break on Saturday! I can't wait!


I ordered a BTO 1.83 (now 2.0) on the 17th. Any people who ordered on the 10th (not the 1.63s which I know are delayed) not get theirs or not have theirs shipped yet? Just wondering how out-of-order the shipping is.
 
Mine is shipping

Finally got my Tracking numbers. I ordered on Jan 19th and upped the ram to 1GB (ordered 1.67 got 1.83) So the 1.67's are DEFINATELY shipping so I don't know what to say about your CTO 1.83 now 2.0...

I know I won't, but I live up in Canada so it has to go to Anchorage, down to the main FedEx facility, back through customs into Canada, and all the way out to Newfoundland. I don't expect it until probably mid next week.

I won't, because there are other people reporting theirs ship on this forum now, as well as the main apple forums. We can't all be lying, right? :D

Since our macbooks seem to have left China on the same plane, I was wondering whether you got any tracking updates? I'm

I ordered the 19th as well. Mine still hasn't shipped. I just ordered a stock mbp with regular free shipping.
 
Help...

This is the excerpt from the Apple tracking page:

Activity Location Date / Time (GMT)

Shipment Picked Up SHANGHAI, SH, CN 21 Feb 2006 13:15
Depart Terminal SHANGHAI, SH, CN 22 Feb 2006 11:35

and this is from the Kuehne & Nagel Website:

Date Code Status Description

22 feb 06 32 05 Flight Booked
21 feb 06 00 04 Picking confirmed, EDI received
21 feb 06 30 63 handover at supplier
21 feb 06 30 61 Consignment Booking received from supplier

Can somebody tell me when I can expect my MBP? Has it left China yet? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Forgot to mention that I opted for standard shipping (Told by an apple rep years ago that when the items are coming from over seas it all ships the same way) I think it still holds true from what I have been hearing on the boards here

No idea whether it has shipped. But it looks from your posted times like we're all in the same boat/plane. See the postings by "ncoffey" and myself above. I'm counting hours. Now 37. Normally our packages would have gone through Anchorage and arrived in the lower states long time ago.

Thats my delivery date as well, hopefully they just missed a scan or something.

Is yours a 1.83 GHz as well? I wonder whether they're actually SHIPping those because they need the airplanes for 2.0 and 2.16 GHz Macbooks...;-)
 
Mine is also:

Still no word on the status, but expected delivery date is Feb 27, 2006 10:30 AM
 
Yeah, mine is a 1.83...things just can't get easier for us folk, eh? Just an update, mine still shows only the scan in China. I think that I remember (it is beginning to blur) another thread saying that they had no updates till it was at his door- maybe this is the case. If so, what is the point of a tracking #?
 
My 1.83 mbp has not even shipped yet :(. Ordered mine the morning of Jan 19th, just like iamasoundguy( whos is shipping).
