order date? 1.83/2.0?
 
Shipping SOON!!!

My 2.0 Macbook ordered on Mar 7th is finally in the shipping soon phase:D
It's about time!! Gotta go order my RAM! Yippie!!
 
The 2.0 is no longer a "pre-order" item on amazon.com.
 
I ordered a 2.0 Ghz from Amazon on the 7th of Feb. I am emailed them two days ago asking when they plan to ship it as the order said the 12th of April. They replied back saying that was still the date.

Can anyone provide an order number or screenshot please so I am go back to Amazon and see what they are playing at?

Thanks,

Buzzing
 
Pre Ordering seems worthless

Well, my order from Jan. 29th still show no update to the March 31st ship date (and no credit card activity) so I bit the bullet this morning and placed a second order for the same model (2.0) with a ship date of tomorrow (Mar. 10th).

I will probably try to call Amazon today before I cancel the original order just to make sure there is no new information that hasn't been updated online but I doubt this is the case since the CSR's seem to know less than what the website even shows.

This whole pre-ordering process has been extremely dissapointing.

I just upgraded from the 1.83 to the 2.0. I have a March 10 ship date!
 
Just got this reply from Amazon.

I cancelled my MBP 1.83 with Amazon and ordered a 2.0 from MacConnection on Tuesday night. It's on its way and should be here by tomorrow (Friday). I am so excited.

Screw Amazon.com!
 
How long does it take to process shipping?

My order has been stuck on "Shipping Soon" stage since yesterday. Does anyone know how long it typically takes to get it to the "shipped" stage?
Thanks
 
just checked on the status..

My account status has been in the "shipping soon" status for two days now. I'll believe that it's shipping when it says so... :( Now I can't even cancel it and order from a vendor who actually has it in stock and ready to sell!
Something is definitely off at Amazon.com:mad:
 
Amazon shows the 2.0's in stock at this very moment (ships in 24 hours). I cancelled my 1.83 with MacConnection, and ordered through Amazon.

Shipping estimate: March 10, 2006
Delivery estimate: March 14, 2006 - March 15, 2006
 
Cool!

You went from March 14-15 to today? Congrats man! Did you choose 1-day shipping? Curious, cause mine says March 13th and I ordered overnight so maybe there's some chance they'll surprise me today too!

I am in the Shipping SOon stage (cannot cancel), and my delivery estimate is March 14, with Two Day Shipping. So it should leave the Amazon warehouse today.
MB 1.83, ordered Jan.19...
 
Ok, this is weird or rather irritating.
How come my 1.83 that was ordered on January 18 has an estimated shipping date of March 20 and has not changed while yours that was ordered a day after mine has not only a better shipping date but has also been expedited.

Is yours really the 1.83 (previously 1.67) or is it the 2.0 (ordered as 1.83)?

Update!

When I checked Amazon today it turns out my order now says "being processed" and my dshipping date has changed to today with estimaed delivery for the 14!

Ok, how about a recommendation to add 0.5 or 1 gig memory for this little puppy. Maximize performance and bettery life.

are you in shipping soon stage too? Let me know if it has shipped.
Mine was 1.67, recieved the email from amazon on Feb.14 about the CPU change, and it went into Shipping Soon yesterday, with delivery estimate March 14. Given that I have chosen Two Day shipping, the math tells me that it should indeed ship today....
