Others whose deliveries were scheduled by FedEx for Monday have sometimes had them Deliver on Friday. Personally, I'll hope for it tomorrow, but won't be too disappointed if I have to wait until Monday. That will free up more time to work on my corporate taxes this weekend.😀
 
FedEx tracking has mine in Anchorage still, but I'm not sure the "real-time" tracking is always real-time. FX90, the Fedex Flight from Shanghai to Memphis with a layover in Anchorage, has taken off again and is en route to Memphis. Will be interesting to see what tracking says later this evening.

Update: Mine has package left departed Anchorage as of 5:12pm. As the flight to Memphis (most of them stay on same plane in Anchorage and continue on to Memphis) left on time at around 3pm, and is halfway to Memphis now, I assume it is about 2.5 hours away from Memphis.

😱 I should have finished reading all the posts before I posted. Mine left Anchorage with yours 🙂
 
The flight I believe our MBP's are on landed in Memphis about 20 minutes ago (11:30 Central Time). I suspect it might take awhile to unload before FedEx put some scanners on the packages and sends them off to regional hubs. I expect tracking will update sometime overnight, while I'm snug in my bed.
 
I woke up to this:

Mar 13, 2009 5:39 AM At dest sort facility CLEVELAND, OH 🙂

I wish it would come today! It still says

Estimated delivery Mar 16, 2009 by 10:30 AM 🙁

Why did I pay the extra 18.00??????😕
 
Ordered on Jan 11th (61 days ago!!!) through reseller and still not sure when I am going to receive my new MBP. Waiting that long is almost unbearable.
 
delayed!

OK here we go, just got an e-mail from Apple:

Due to an unexpected delay, we now anticipate shipping the following
item(s) as follows:


Z0G5, MBP 17/CTO
Ships by 4 business days
Delivers by Mar 20 - Mar 24

So that's pushing it back by one week if not more, and that's only if it does actually ship then and I don't get a similar e-mail again.
 
My order has said shipped for the past 3 days, on the American site it says shipped via: Kuhne & Nagel Spedition s.a r - but on the European it says nothing just 'Shipped'. Also there is no tracking data at all, is this normal?
 
Just a quick note for those who ordered from a reseller (CA):

4gb stock Glossy w/ 7200rpm Ordered from my local reseller (I’m 6hrs away from the closest Apple store) on 23/01/09.

Finally got an update this morning: Left Shanghai on the 6/03/09 and arrived in Montreal this morning and it's on a UPS Truck for delivery Monday the 16th. Arg it's going to be a long weekend. 😛

So Apple has fit some reseller orders in its delivery queue.
 
Mine was delivered at 10:15 this morning, the bad thing is today is so busy I won't be able to open it until this evening.

I have waited 2 years for my first mac, hope I can last another 9 hours! 😉

It's 9:52 where I live, and FedEx Tracking has mine on the truck for delivery. I expect it will arrive pretty soon.
 
Delivered at about 10:10, and after a warmup period (it arrived pretty cold), I have gone through setup and am now installing software updates.
 
Just a question - why bother ordering through a reseller in the first place? 🙄

I'm sure there must be a valid reason, I just can't think of one lol
