Call me a lucky guy, but I just had them stick my name on a 2.5 box at an Apple store 20 minutes from here. I'm done waiting & my story is over (crossing fingers & driving to apple store).

Wow...solo, you have been our inspiration. We really appreciate all your support. So sorry to hear that they did it AGAIN!

Well, I know you will be happy with your decision. A bird in the hand, eh?

Mine has shipped out of Anaheim and is scheduled for delivery on Monday.

But I am still checking this thread in support of all you others who have not heard anything. Good luck all!
 
AAAARRRGGGHHH!!!!

I just got the dreaded email telling me my G5 is now supposed to ship by 8/30!!

If it doesn't ship before then, I'm really gonna be ticked -- as I will be out of town Sept 2-6.

I'm not going to cancel my order, but I'm definitely giving the Houston Apple store a call every day until then and see if they get any in stock!
 
Of all things

My G5 shipped from Fullerton Ca. Via FedEx yesterday. This morning when I turned on CNN Headline news, the story and film was of a huge Interstate highway accident somewhere out West. Sitting in the middle of all the carnage, still smoking from the fires that consumed most of it and it’s cargo was ………… A FedEx tractor trailer. Needless to say I am relieved to find my Mac is now in Memphis TN. -- Jebus am I a nervous wreck

Come on guys... all I need is an order number. I really want to prove her wrong! I only need the order number of someone who has ALREADY RECEIVED their 2.5 and that ordered after June 9!

brykken, dude I emailed you my web order and sales order number. Ordered June 14. Any more info on the machine you can check out the stats we have all been filling out.

Good luck.
 
Oh my Gawd this feels so good to type...

kgforce, I feel your pain, and that e-mail you got confirms how I just "squirreled" out here in my "fly over country" state.

On a whim I called a small reseller store, an hour away. The gal said yes, we have the 2.5. I made her go and get someone else, "Yep, we have it. Got two."

The nice sales gal proceeded to negotiate w/ me to compete w/ and so I could cancel my MacMall order (Gawd, those bastards p*ssed me off in the last couple of days, not to mention a different story every time you call. They will NOT tell you where you are in the Que., or even give you a ballpark. The sales manager gotta pretty smart *ssie w/ me, after I really questioned whether it's good business to be able to tell your customers your 208th on the list or 25th? So this feels extra good).

I had to laugh as she said, "Why am I negotiating w/ you on a computer than everybody is trying to get a hold of? Pretty funny, but i didn't want to agree too hard on that.;)

Anyway, headed out the door to go pick it up. When in hand the cell phone will be dialing MacMall w/ glee, telling them not to bother, after all.

"Studio Dweller" I strike a blow for us. I wish I wish I could take you w/ me. We've been comparing MacMall notes all along, BTW.

Hang in kforce,

Just be sure to leave your name at any Apple Store within driving range.

Worked for me and a bunch of other folks.

This is really awful, I can't believe you guys who ordered in June have now been bumped again.

I hope this works itself out soon for everyone!

Thank you so much! I'm calling now...
 
I got the dreaded the 8/30 email too. I am disappointed, but not angry. One more slip, and then I will be pissed. But for me, this was a nice-to-have purchase, so I am a little patient. (Although the 23" display sitting idle is annoying.)

My Order:

D2.5--250G HD-1G Memory--BT--AE
 
I got the 8/30 email just a few minutes ago, and sent back my confirm to accept the new date... however, I've been in touch with an Apple corp. person who says (I called them as soon as I saw the email) my machine is building and it will ship soon, very soon. The person actually sounded happy so...

...so :rolleyes: to the new delay, but :D for when it finally ships.

I got upgraded to priority shipping as compensation.
 
You guys are going to crap bricks! Just called a 'mom and pop' Apple authorized sales and service place 20 minutes from my house and they have 1 in stock! The sales guy was shocked as well! Connecting Point Computer Center is my tonic! Typing to you later on it! Yeeehaaaaaw! Screeeeeech! :) To quote Duff-Man: OH YEAH!
 
Houston Store

I just called the Houston Apple Store and put my name on their waiting list for a 2.5.

I'm number five (5) on the list! I'm hoping they get at least that many in next week!
 
August 30!!

I ordered stock except for BT and AE on June 9 at 6:27 AM PST. After this long a wait I accepted the August 30 ship date. I did ask for a clarification of the statement: Please rest assured that we fulfill all orders in the order they are received.

Apple has an excellent product and repair/support people have always been good the few times I needed them - but their customer service - GRRRRR.

HERE'S your freekin' FED TRUCK BABY !!

Thank you Tamara in the Cherry Creek Apple store -- who received their second wave of G5's while we were shoved aside once again.

GOtta get to my performance, but as promised one final update to the spreadsheet tonight and then I pass the torch.

Got the dreaded email that everyone else did to accept the "on or before Aug. 30" date or cancel the order. I of course phoned Apple immediately to accept the Aug. 30 date - heck for all I know it could ship next Monday.

Man, I was so optimistic that I'd get a shipping notice today I went out to Compusmart and bought Unreal Tournament 2004, 007 Nightfire, and 2 - 512MB RAM sticks for the G5 I'd have next week. Lucky I didn't purchase the extra SATA drive I was thinking of.

Congrats Solo on your G5 purchase.
 
More G5s at apple retail stores...

The Apple Palisades store in NY had 4 G5's thismorning, and will be getting another 10 by the end of the day.

I tried to get Apple to let me do the free Radeon 9600XT deal by getting the G5 at the apple store, and having them ship me the GeForce 6800DDL discounted, like they offered. But that is apparently impossible.

We established this by talking to a rep, the supervisor of the rep, and the supervisor of the supervisor of the rep.

Eventually I settled on the normal free Radeon 9600XT + free priority overnight shipping + discount on the GeForce 6800DDL.
 
8/30!!!!!

It's true. They failed to meet the deadline again & I am trully disappointed. H*ll, I'm pissed, but life goes on. I've got my own deadlines to meet.

I'm glad for all those who received their 2.5's & hope Apple can get this right, for the sake of all their "Valued Apple Customer(s)" :mad:
 
Waiting list worked for me

If you have an Apple store near you, get on the list ASAP. I think I was the one that started the list at my local store. I did it a few weeks ago and didn't really expect them to call me. I gave them my name and home number and a few days later gave them my cell phone number and the name of a friend. I thought this would increase my chances of getting a call. They called me at home around lunch Wednesday 8-18 and a few minutes later they called my cell phone to tell me the G5 was in. My box is marked to be delivered by 8-18-04 and is box #2 of the 3 that were received.

Yo CHECK THIS OUT! THERE IS STILL HOPE OUT THERE FOR THOSE THAT DID NOT RECEIVE AN EMAIL OR A STATUS CHANGE!!!!

I got a verbal confirmation last night that the machine was going to be shipped within 12-24 hrs. I never got a confirmation email nor did my Status change.

5 minutes ago, my friend calls me and tells me that he got a notice from FEDEX that they tried to ship today but he wasnt home (I shipped to my buddy in delaware to save $400 in tax).

So It shipped, they never notified me, and now the delivery is missed. They are going to deliver it tomorrow morning. So I'll be driving down to DE tomorrow to get THE PRECIOUS

SWEET!!!!!!!

Uuugghhh..I just had a horrible feeling in the pit of my stomach...Is it possible that the packing thats waiting at my buddy's place in Delaware is just the BlueTooth Keyboard & Mouse? I got the Bluetooth module package with the keyboard & mouse...Do they ship that seperate or do they send it out with the computer in the same box. Do I get the wired keyboard & mouse as well? or do they take that out and put in the BT versions.

I think I'm going to be sick....

I also received that stinkin' "August 30" e-mail....aaarrrggghh!!!

I can't cancel, I've waited this long. It sucks double because there is a grand total of ZERO Apple Stores in Canada that I can just drop in to, nor are there any resellers here that have even one 2.5G5. What the hell else am I gonna do....except wait some more!!

This is getting too surreal for me, to the point where I'm wondering whether this G5 even exists.
 
Arrived

Ordered the 2.5 G5 the day it was released with Bluetooth and the top end ATI Card added. Was told it was shipped yesterday evening fed ex ground, and recieved it this morning 8/20/04, I live in los angeles. :D :D :D

Too bad there isn't an Apple store around every corner like Starbucks. I feel very fortunate to have been able to get mine at an Apple store. I hope everyone waiting gets theirs soon.

Hey man. Did you get the BT Keyboard & Mouse? Or just the BT Module.
Does it come with the wired KB & Mouse or just the BT versions?
Did it come in the box with the computer or was it a separate delivery?

Thanks
