Now being quoted June 16th for dispatch. Ordered May 5th with and original estimated ship date of May 24th!
Then pushed back to June 2nd, June 9, and now June 16
We'll see. Ended up being the full 6 weeks wait anyway.
After a busy day yesterday (flying from Shanghai to Cologne via Korea and Kazakhstan), things have been quiet today:Looks like it's now left Koeln on my screen. I'm in London so suspect they will now depart ways, fingers crossed we get them today but i'm not holding out too much hope!
Ordered my 1.3 SB 512 + AV adapter on May 29th
Payment via BT cleared today

this is not apple's fault. dustiin is the problem here!Very bad news. I was forced to cancel my order with Dustin (3rd party distributor in Sweden) today as the order was pushed back yet again until the 26th of June, and I leave for San Diego for the Summer on the 24th.
I placed an order for the same SG 1.3/512 model with a Swedish keyboard this morning in the U.S. Apple Store with an estimated delivery date of July 10-17.
My original order with Dustin wold have been a total wait of 52 days having ordered on the 5th of May, that is more than 7 weeks.
Now I will have been waiting 66-73 days, or 9-10 weeks to get my hands on the SG CTO model.
That is the worst I have ever had it with a new Apple product, and I have had most of them since 2011(except Apple Watch)
Yeah, I know! My bad, like I said, original estimate was 2 weeks for delivery, so I made the assumption that they actually did have those coming in within that timeframe, ie already ordered from Apple.this is not apple's fault. dustiin is the problem here!
you should have ordered directly at apple....
But Dustin told you the truth.original estimate was 2 weeks for delivery, so I made the assumption that they actually did have those coming in within that timeframe, ie already ordered from Apple.
I actually laughed a little bit when the guy on the phone with me from Dustin laid it solely on Apple, saying that they have been hard done by them because they are prioritising direct consumer orders before them, so they never actually knew when they would be getting new inventory.
Today it changed to "Preparing for Shipment" after just 5 days from order confirmation.... Do you guys think it's normal? Should it shipped within the next 24 hours now?
Well it is on its way! Very nice if you get it early next week. Would have to be one the fastest deliveries yet for the 1.3 model!I received the shipment emails within the next 24 hours, on Saturday morning. Now I have a tracking number but I don't know how to track it since I think it's an internal tracking number because it is said that the 2 products will be merged into one single shipment.
Yes I realized that! However I have a combined shipment and I don't know how to track since the tracking reference given is an Internal number. Shipment is schedule to be delivered on the 24th...Well it is on its way! Veey nice if you get it early next week. Would have to be one the fastest deliveries yet for the 1.3 model!
I used to get sick reading in a car (until I stopped doing it!) so I know what you mean there (only some people get sick).Received mine too and typing this on it. I'm surprised at how much better the keyboard feels compared to in the store.
Very impressed however, I am having one small - that may end up being huge - issue. After a short period of time using this I am feeling very sick. I would describe it in the same way as if i were to read in the car. Does anybody else have this?!
Never had this feeling from a laptop before and i've had many!
I used to get sick reading in a car (until I stopped doing it!) so I know what you mean there (only some people get sick).
I have the new rMB and have had no problems. My first suspicion is it's something to do with the light, or the lack of surrounds around the screen (so you can see the stuff around it more, as well as the screen, similar to some of the in-car stuff). Maybe try it against or neutral background for a while.
Or possibly the different sensation coming through your fingers? The keyboard does feel different.
I'd also try playing with the resolution a bit... and the screen brightness. Sorry I can only give vague guesses... it sounds like something you'll be able to track down though.
And speaking of car sickness, did you also find that the home screen animations in iOS (the zooming in of the home screen etc) also made you feel sick? Made me feel sick (similar to car-sick) until they gave the option to switch it off.
Yes I realized that! However I have a combined shipment and I don't know how to track since the tracking reference given is an Internal number. Shipment is schedule to be delivered on the 24th...
The status now is:
Status In Transit to Customer- Shipment on Schedule 15 Jun
Est. Delivery June 24, 2015
Hopefully I will know when they merge the 2 products and receive the tracking number for the final shipment. However if I do get it by the 24th it would be over 2 weeks ahead of schedule. Shipping was meant to be 8-21 July!
