Is Apple usually quick with the turnaround time? I mean, I've got two different windows, 1-3 days to ship, then the potential 5 day shipping time, but is Apple usually on the high end of low end of that?

If my delivery window is March 3 - 9, should I expect it closer to the 3rd or the 9th? I'd assume with the new release, they're a little backlogged on orders, but I've never ordered anything from Apple before, so I don't know their reputation with shipping (and I may be getting a bit impatient :eek:)

Hi All im a new mac buyer! Ive been lurking here for a while and this update of the macbook pro made me finally make the jump.

My delivery date is set for this thursday of a BTO. It would have been great if they offer the options in store but the guys over on the 5th avenue store here in NYC told me they dont. So online it was which actually helped because i got a company discount on it :)
 
My Macbook has just departed from Shanghai :)

My current progress reads:
Shanghai, China 01/03/2011 3:14 Departure Scan
Shanghai, China 28/02/2011 22:48 Export Scan
Koeln, Germany 28/02/2011 15:27 Package data processed by brokerage Waiting for clearance
Shanghai, China 28/02/2011 20:00 Arrival Scan
28/02/2011 16:55 Departure Scan
28/02/2011 14:08 Origin Scan
China 28/02/2011 0:38 Order Processed: Ready for UPS

The bit about Germany - Does this mean it will stop off at Germany before reaching the UK?

^^^

Anyone know about this?
 
Mine has now left Shanghai on its way to Glasgow UK now, estimated delivery is Friday, by the end of the day. Hopefully it goes faster than that otherwise it could be stuck at my work all weekend as the mail room guys go home at 4 on a friday! That would be torture!
 
Mine departed Shanghai at 3:14 (March 1) via UPS. Anybody else in that shipment?

Strangely, it was showing a March 4th delivery date, but now it doesn't give an estimated delivery date.

Yep my Macbook is with yours :D
 
in the same shipment as y'all. BTO Antiglare base 15 2.0, can't wait.
coming to the US, should be here wednesday.

The machine's a replacement for a 2.4ghz 2009 C2D unibody that's had some serious problems, excited for a new machine. Pretty amazing that Apple is giving me a brand new computer, this is why Applecare rules.
 
Mine now says:
Feb 28, 2011 12:18 PM Int'l shipment release ANCHORAGE, AK
Feb 28, 2011 11:04 AM Arrived at FedEx location ANCHORAGE, AK
Feb 28, 2011 4:51 AM In transit SHANGHAI CN

Unfortunately it still says delivery is 3 March... too bad Virginia isn't closer to Alaska.. oh well. My SSD will be here the day before, so I'll have time to clone the HDD of my blackbook and prepare for the transplant.

I strongly believe you will get yours on March 2nd. I live in Florida and have a March 2nd delivery. Our FedEx shipment info looks very similar.

The Apple site lists 4 March, but FedEx lists 3 March... I'm sorely tempted to tape the release slip on the door starting tomorrow, just to be safe. After all, my Speck case was listed to be delivered 5 March and showed up today....

Don't clone. The new MBPs use a new build of 10.6.6 so it won't work when you put it in. You're going to have to use migration assistant.
