UK folks - which courier are your orders coming through?

I ordered on the 24th, it got shipped on 28th, Monday but I'm not seeing any tracking info, still just says "In transit to final destination - carrier details to be updated shortly."

This is what I'm seeing:

Estimated Delivery Date (Subject to change) 12 Mar 2011 (Subject to change)
Current Delivery Status In Transit to Customer - Shipment on Schedule 04 Mar 2011

What's with the 4th March teasing?! Does that mean they expect it to be delivered tomorrow?
They are using UPS but it has typically taken 2 days from dispatch to delivery.

Ours' are on the same one. Still not in Finland though and it's been many hours since leaving Langenhagen. Must be a ship/truck since a plane would have arrived already. There goes the hopes of getting the MBP on friday... :(

Well, mine still shows 9.3. by the end of the day, so should be happy with Monday I suppose.
 
Looks like I got lucky then. I'm in Missouri, so Memphis is only 4 hours away. Maybe I'll get mine tomorrow too.

On your Fedex status page, what kind of shipping does it show? Mine is "International Economy Distribution." I'm just wondering if the expedited shipping has a different kind of distribution.



Fedex international economy is the standard free shipping, IP is international priority which is the 2-3 day priority shipping.
 
There is no icon for *doing a little dance* but that is what I am doing at my desk right now. MBP base 15" just delivered!

Same for me buddy. If his has gone to Bristol I would have thought mine would of too as I'm an hour away from Bristol. It makes no sense.

Possibly he has paid for faster shipping, other people have said they sit in Germany for a day, it is only an hour or 2 on a plane to the UK so as long as it arrives tomorrow i will be over the moon!
 
I presume my local times are messed up here? :D
I guess from this that it's still in Germany? Even though it seemed to go to Germany, then Poland and back?

It's saying tomorrow, but would guess it really has to leave Germany at some point today to get to Edinburgh in time for delivery tomorrow...

No, picked standard shipping and didn't pay anything extra. On the UPS site it's listed as "UPS Worldwide Expedited".

It's still 'out for delivery' though.

Mine is coming to Glasgow same shipment info as you there.

The ones that got delivered today from what people posted left germany last night about 1am then made there way through the UK during the night in time for delivery this morning, so i hope we both have new macbooks tomorrow!

me too!

that's interesting, I assumed that they would arrive to a central hub, and would then have to be at a local hub before they loaded the vans in the morning. Maybe they do, and they're just really quick at it.

fingers crossed for both of us anyway!
 
I got fed up with checking the UPS site every 15 minutes to finally called them to see when my delivery date will be... Monday! So frustrating as I ordered 2hrs after they were released, and it's taking 11 days. I guess I'm being punished for not paying for the faster shipping. ARGH.

Fingers crossed for us 3!
 
They are using UPS but it has typically taken 2 days from dispatch to delivery.

When you say dispatch you mean the "shipped" notice? That was 3 days ago... :(

So does the fact that I don't see a carrier tracking link mean there's no chance of it arriving tomorow, like the "current delivery status" implies?
 
I eventually got my order received today by Apple, the estimates they give are a bit random. I'll have to wait 2 weeks to get mine :confused:

Ships: 1 - 3 business days
Delivers: 16 Mar, 2011 - 21 Mar, 2011

N.B. I've made no modifications to the base 15" high end model.
 
It's arrived! :D Unfortunatly, I'm still at work so will have to wait a bit to have a proper play with it. Good look everyone; hopefully yours will arrive soon.
 
Ours' are on the same one. Still not in Finland though and it's been many hours since leaving Langenhagen. Must be a ship/truck since a plane would have arrived already. There goes the hopes of getting the MBP on friday... :(

Well, mine still shows 9.3. by the end of the day, so should be happy with Monday I suppose.
Mine shows 7.3. end of the day

I just hope next stop isn't Glostrup, Denmark like this one

Mine is close but it says in UPS tracking: Destination Scan for like 4 hours now anyone know why?
 
I'm very happy to announce that a FedEx flight was scheduled within the hour for a plane from Shanghai to Memphis. I have two sources both of which confirm the flight (although the times vary). Regardless, this is a relief for those like me on the east coast whom thought the only way to the states was through Anchorage (which was very likely to delay delivery if standard shipping was selected). This just goes to show how last minute these kind of flights can be made or at least reported. One of my sources says that the plane should leave in an hour. For more information, or to report your packages' status (which has very likely been updated since yesterday if you ordered during the weekend) go to the spreadsheet:

What's with the 4th March teasing?! Does that mean they expect it to be delivered tomorrow?

Mine says the same (ordered on 25th) and I'm hoping it means it'll arrive tomorrow. Said it was shipped to Southampton on 28th Feb, if it goes to plan I could be holding my first Mac (and a massive step up in everything tech-wise) this weekend!

Uh... where do you see Southampton? You have a UPS link on your shipment status page? I don't!

I'm sure you'll love your new kit - I'm upgrading from my early '08 model - hardly a problem in 3 years!
 
I guess mine is now on board, heading the US. Is there any flight-mate here ???

What is the next destination : Anchorage or Memphis ? I dont know why but I think Memphis will be the next stop. Congrats for those having already their Mbp!
