Ok, I ordered friday night (3:30 am on 5th in Los Angeles). It has just changed to "prepared for shipment." How long is it normally at this status before it leaves and I get some tracking info? This is the first time I've ordered from Apple and I'm very excited. Really, I just want to get it by Friday so I don't have to go another weekend!
 
Yeah im the same buddy, mines been sat at Castle Donnington(and expected del is 9th too) since Saturday. Waiting for it to come to Hull. Hoping it comes today like, but its still in Castle donnington as of 8:33 this morning

Mine too, expected Wed. At this rate it'll have taken longer to travel the length of the UK (I'm in Lancaster) than it took to get here from China!
 
it could sit in Germany for about 24 hours........:( but once it moves to Blighty it is quick, usually the same day delivery........:D

I'm currently going through the 'Germany' phase right now. Been there since 5pm Yesterday. Hope it hits the UK today

Same here. Since 5pm yesterday German time. Mine will be heading to Portugal.
24 hours is crazy, specially if all the papers were previously taken care of.

My thoughts exactly. It's amazing how yesterday mine went from China, to Korea, Kazakhstan and then Germany in one day.

Would love to know what the delay is.

Also waiting for the delivery of mine (to Portugal), since I ordered my 15'' 2.2Ghz with portuguese keyboard + Hi-Res Glossy + 500GB 7200RPM.

When did you place your order? Mine was placed last Tuesday the 1st of March.
 
Ordered my MBP 15" on 3/3/2011 and now apple estiamted delivery isn't until the 16th :mad: Not very happy as I would have thought it could have got here a little quicker...

Im in Adelaide, Australia btw. Anyone else taking this long???
 
The Eagle (17" Pro) has landed!! :D

5 days, 1 hour and 40 minutes after ordering my first Mac is here, now all i have to do is work out how to turn the Windows partition of my brain off and suss out how to use it!! :rolleyes:

Congrats and thanks for all the updates. Hoping mine will come tomorrow!

Shutting off the Windows in your brain will be easy - working out how you ever worked with it in the past will be the hard part!
 
have to say i'm gobsmacked at how quick it's got here tbh, it's made my Monday just a tad better! Just need to go and collect it now from the missus at work.

Fingers crossed for the rest of you other Uk lot waiting!! :)

I ordered a 17" also - 11 days ago now... wonder how come yours came so quick?!

Any of you UKers expecting your delivery soon (tomorrow) seeing any info on the UPS site? I'm still getting "UPS does not yet have possession of this shipment" on the tracking page...

Just ordered mine on the 6th of March, delivery is not until sometime between 15/03/2011 - 17/03/2011

I'm guessing that's when the new shipment of MBPs arrive in Australia...

Mines the high-end MBP:
2.2GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7
4GB 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2x2GB
128GB Solid State Drive
8x Double-Layer SuperDrive
MBP 15"HR Antiglare WS Display

ARGH... this waiting is killing me.... my 12" powerbook is failing me... need a new computer soooon... :(:(

My delivery date is expected as Wednesday (according to UPS site) but has been at Castle Donington (East Midlands Airport) since Friday night.

Spoke to a guy at UPS today, I thought there was a problem with the tracking and he said there was a problem with some shipments' tracking and that most of the stock which the site is saying is stuck at Donington, including mine, will be out for delivery tomorrow. :)

I guess I thought that 'We' Aussies could expect the same rough delivery times as Europe and America. As its not about one shipment of MBP but a mix of packages moving from hub to hub. But considering how it's working out I guess I must have been wrong.


Also commiserations on the powerbook. How long did you get out of it??
 
Is anybody from the UK experiencing issues with the UPS tracking site?

My expected delivery date has vanished...Still in Koeln, Germany at the moment
 
Ok I am a little relieved cause my and my friend's delivery date changed from 18/3 to 11/3 and status changed to "In Transit to Customer - Shipment on Schedule". But still no UPS nor TNT tracking. UK
