Ah ok. I don't know what IDEAL is but my understanding with Apple is that payment is normally taken very shortly before the goods are shipped, yet your estimated delivery dates are a long way off. Perhaps you'll be lucky. :)

Paying with IDEAL is direct online banking with one of the participating banks (for example we have over here Rabobank and ABN Amro). Mostly paying with IDEAL is only available in The Netherlands.

Hahaha hopefully I'll be that lucky person who get's it before the expected dates :rolleyes:
 
any European members with status ''shipped''?

I don't have too much hope it will be here this coming week. Maybe the one after that.
 
I'm just hoping it'll move from "Processing" to "Preparing for Dispatch" this week
 
I did start another thread to attempt to gather some useful data on payment/delivery dates etc. everything was going well for a good two replies before it got derailed by the typical, unavoidable keyboard warriors. So I'll just leave this here instead...

Anyone else?

This thread has been pretty much on topic so far. So far no one has gotten anything past credit card charged (i.e. nothing past "processing" on the Apple website in the past 16 days), including for people like myself who bought base models in the first minutes they were on sale. I'm guessing that when the first person does get a shipment date, s/he'll be posting here in all capital letters with exclamation marks right after they find out.

oh there will definitely be caps :D

edit: damn, MR won't let me type in caps.
 
Hi sorry thought I would wade in on this....I have a May - June delivery date for this, I spoke to Apple and they say that this is the norm and that as they are only available for online orders, all pre orders will be shipped before stores get stock :D

Struggling bad with the waiting....

There are two problems about that:

1. It doesn't actually tell us when we will have delivery, only that we will have them before they are available to buy in store; and

2. In my experience talking to Customer Services tends to produce a different answer each time you call. Apple are not alone in this unfortunate trait. The bottom line is that, in reality, they don't actually know very much at all. Just like the poor guys working in Apple Stores. They are kept in the dark.
 
I'm in the UK, ordered gold base model about an hour after pre-orders went up.

Strange how everyone seems to have a week delivery slot (between dates I mean) whereas I have a 2 week one with 'between 15th-29th May' which is a bit annoying.

Do people actually think they will be getting confirmations of dispatch this week? I ask genuinely, as I doubt mine will but have never been in this situation with ordering before.

Normally it's a pre-order and it arrives the following week. :rolleyes: If only, eh!

Having spent time with the rMB in Trafford Centre on Saturday, I literally am running out of patience waiting! Ha.
 
On holiday in Dubai so popped into the Apple Shop, two weeks before they get a demo one in.

It's iStyle isn't? did they confirm they will get stock in two weeks or just demos?

Well i'm on the same boat love, and my card is still not charged...

Is it just me or there are so many europeans in this thread? ;)
 
Ordered 22 minutes after launch. 1.1ghz/Space Grey/256GB/Processing/Not Charged

Delivery: 11th-19th of May to Norway.


Dah...!! Give me this MacBook now!

Yes, not called Apple Store here. I was in the Dubai Burj K Mall, so bloody big that even with the electronic maps it took me 30 mins to find. Everyone else is in the Electronics Section, but not Apple, they are in one of the dozens of Fashion sections.

I did not actually ask him about sales as I will be back in Scotland, but think that it will be just a demo model.

Has anyone had any accessories shipped or change status? I find it weird that these haven't either. It's like they have a date in mind before they actually want to start shipping anything to us lowly Europeans. Ordered these right after ordering my rMB yet they have an earlier date by 3 days on each end.

I think only the BTO are charged so far, as they are probably manufactured as we speak.

For me:

Ordered 1 min after launch
1.1ghz/Space Grey/256GB/Processing/Not Charged

Delivery estimate May 7-15
