Sorry to post twice, but I ordered mine at the same time as you, same model. Had this 10 mins ago, and apple site is now updated to Walsh Western as the courier(see above post). I can smell my macbook pro lol!
Got a tip for us?

UPDATE
Carrier details updated for my order on apple's site, its coming with a company called Walsh Western but i cant use the tracking on their site :/
Edit: everyone is on the ball, didnt see the posts above, ur too fast
Edit 2: If you go to the walsh western website and hit the tracking link on the right, then dont enter any username and password and hit signin button, it presents you with a tracking page, enter the number in there and it gives you a lurvely message!

Mine is exactly the same. it seems like we are on the same route 🙂
Ooo its been updated:
Hi!
OK, sorry for the REALLY stupid question that I'm abbout to ask, but: how can you get the detailed tracking info. I ordered on October 27th and it still says "Merge in Transit". Also the apple tracker website thing, didn't work. The only number I have is: my order: W80581307 and that didn't work.
So how do you all know that "it's left Shangahi" etc.
I ordered the 17" stock, with Bluetooth MM and iWork and a mouse mat.
I just want to track where it is!!

Mines with TNT, and still says not found when I try to track it 🙁. Its said that all day since 10am. Mind you, its only 3am in Shanghai, so maybe it will start to get moving as it gets to about 6am hopefully.
Ohhh... I only have the 8 digit order number. I'll wait until it says shipping then. Sometimes, i'm too eager.
So what's my order doing now?
If it's not shipping then what?
I'ts been like this for 7 days!!!!!
What configuration did you order? If it is standard configuration, my guess it won't take that long. Ordered mine on the 31st, received shipment acknowledgment yesterday (the number with 80 prefix) and I could track it down where it is now .. Call and chase them and check it is not payment problem or otherwise you'll be waiting forever.
I ordered a standard 17" from the Education for Individuals store. My order is:

I know it's a brand new product, and it takes time, especially for us UK people. 🙄 Payment was taken days ago. So that's not really a problem. As my bank balance now reads: "skint" 😀
The same thing happened with my iPod I order last month. I ordered the 80GB and it took ~20 days in total for the thing to get here. I'm 16 and worked my socks off in the summer for this, just hope it get's here soon!!
+ it's my first Mac!!! - I have a habbit for saving up for the best or not at all!!
Also, how come you guys can choose your delivery speed, i'm only allowed 3-7 days. If I could speed it up I would!!!
Thanks for your help!
Dan 🙂
Ah thats because its a 17". As far as im aware apple havent acually started shipping 17" ones as fast as 15" ones yet. When is your estimated shipping date?
Ahhh... Good good. (but not really, i wan't it now!)
The dates are above. Estimated Ship 10th Nov. Recieve by: 17 Nov!
I have a contdown on my desktop I made to the 17th @ 6:30! (as a Max deadline)
Lol!
If anyone else is waiting, I'll send them the program!! 😀
Mildly amusing
I meant to post this yesterday but forgot. A rather amusing update appeared on my status page yesterday morning. When I say amusing, I mean, I leapt up and called home to see if it had arrived, then spent the rest of the day hoping it would arrive, then found out the truth, that it was still on the way. This is what I saw:
Estimated Delivery Date 01 Nov 2006 (Subject to change)
Current Delivery Status In Transit to Customer - Shipment on Schedule 02 Nov 2006
Clearly not on schedule lol. Jst checked again, its still shows this, and is still with walsh western, needs to get to UPS now, looks like it will be monday before I get my MBP.🙁

Things seem to be moving, albeit slowly...I think mine is roughly where Aly's was yesterday:
02 nov 06 86 14 booking slot obtained Apple Shanghai 03 nov 06
Looks like UPS won't have it by the weekend, I imagine it will arrive from the continent to Flextronics @ Daventry today for sorting & merge, and get sent off to UPS hopefully for Monday, and perhaps I can pick it up Tuesday.
To be fair, the lady at the apple store said I should contact UPS on Monday, so her advice looks to be spot on - but I was hoping 😀

Slowly is indeed the word! I'm not sure wether this delay is due to the free shipping or due to the merge in transit. The free shipping seems to mean they use as many cheap couriers as possible to get everything to UPS or TNT.I'd imagine the number of change overs is slowing stuff down. The merge in transit won't help; it'll take time to get everything together in the one depot and then send off in the right direction. I would have paid for delivery if I thought it would be faster, but we don't even get the option.
nice one guys, congrats. looks like mine is 1 day behind yours, so perhaps monday will indeedy be the day 🙂
and yeah - i'd have paid for shipping (or at least considered it) if they'd told me about such an option. But I'm not sure whether it would get it out from china any quicker, i get the impression that up until it hits EDC, its just part of their standard suplly chain

Isn't 12 Nov is on Sunday? Don't think they'll do delivery on Sunday .. Mine has the same estimated delivery date too but surely not on the same shipment as yours .. the last status on mine is:
MA609B/A 1 03 nov 06 32 05 Flight Booked Apple Shanghai 08 nov 06
Yeah, it's a Sunday. I hope it arrives on Friday the 10th, but it will probably get here on Monday the 13th.
/me pokes K+N/UPS to get it here quicker!
Did you get the Shipping confirmation email from Apple? I think the apecode tracker doesn't work until after its actually shipped, and can sometimes take a day or 2 to update itself.
