European members "processing, dispatched, shipped and received!"

My Space Grey 1.1 arrived today. My god it's a gorgeous machine. The Space Grey is unlike that on my iPad air and iPhone. At certain angles it is completely black and at others it is almost silver. Really looks fantastic.

It's had no issues with anything I've thrown at it yet. Generally seems to be on a par with my outgoing 11 incher (which now looks horribly outdated).

Am I the only one with "Exception" in UPS tracking?

Have the same, but this is not a problem.
The package is still on the route. They just wait for the O.K. from the imports customs organisation. Hope you understand what I mean.

My englisch is very bad.

Same for me.
So what do you guys think. Any chance we'll get it tomorrow?

My original scheduled delivery was on the 13/05 so no tomorrow delivery for me

Maybe germans.
It should be in Koeln at about 18 - 19 o'clock

on the left side is the shipment progress from an UK member, on the right side mine..

And our packages was earlier scheduled for delivery tomorrow, so I think we have good chances.

They are just awaiting the customs clearance paperwork, nothing to worry about.

Respect, you're really on top of things

I just got a text that my package has cleared customs already.

I'm about 3 hours south of Cologne. Maybe there actually is a chance to have it delivered tomorrow, that would be neat.

So obviously I'm a glutton for punishment. Having put myself through this once with the Watch, I've now gone and ordered a Macbook. Apparently I just love sitting here, waiting for the door bell to ring!

I've ordered the top spec Space Grey. I've been given 4th June - 17th June as a delivery estimate. I'm just wondering how people have been getting on with their deliveries? Have many shipped earlier than first estimated? 3-5 weeks seems like 3-5 years right now, ha ha!

Thanks!

New Zealand isn't in Europe, but this looks like the thread to post in.
I just got mine today (I was in the 3-4 weeks shipping), gold 1.2ghz.

It's awesome, and everything Apple claims. I'm not a touch typist, so I was expecting to quickly love the new keyboard, and I do.

My only big panic was when I thought they'd removed three-finger-drag (I'd have to return it if that happened!), but no it's been moved to Accessibility.

So yes, it's worth the wait!

Mine was right in the middle of the week that they said. I'd suggest try and think about something else for 3 weeks

..I'd suggest try and think about something else for 3 weeks

This is the best possible advice for those having to wait.

What makes you think that it is comparable? Do you have the UPS flight schedules? It would be great if you were right, but I doubt it won't fit for Friday. If it is through customs in Köln early this evening there is a big chance for Friday for all Germans.

 

[discostur]

My MacBook (1,2 Spacegray) is also on the same Plane like yours (waiting for clearing agency in Korea) and if i check my delivery status at apple.de it says it will be delivered tomorrow. Living 4,5 hours south of Koeln.

I hope they are right ...

If you check the attached image above you can clearly see they're operating on a schedule.

UPS tracking shows mine is already cleared for customs, and probably currently on the way from South Korea to Cologne. When it arrives there in time this evening before the UPS Ground trucks start moving, there's a good chance it can be delivered anywhere in Germany tomorrow.

I actually have mine delivered to my company, and we have UPS showing up here twice a day - early morning and afternoon.

Thought that might be the case! Oh well, let the waiting commence.....

Actually it looks more like german customs may become the problem... (I know, the 3rd was a sunday. Still a long delay for the import)

See the attached image, mine is already through customs and that probably means the whole batch is through customs, too. Apple is using UPS "World Ease", that means all handling is done for the whole batch and not individually (although you can still track the individual shipments).

 

[pfiffi78]

Model: 256 GB, 1.3 GHz, Space Grey

Mine is on the same plane as yours (same dates/times), but still, form the beginning on "Day of delivering" monday 11th (Duisburg Germany, busines address)

Hey guys,

so sad to see your MacBooks are on the way to Germany because I live near Cologne and it seems my MacBook is not on that UPS aircraft. My tracking looks like this and the delivery is still scheduled for Monday (5/11). Do you think I still have a chance to receive it tomorrow? 1,3GHz SG

Could still be on the same aircraft and on another batch for customs?! No idea why it doesn't show the same information as mine.

yours, cschaetzle, melb00m and mine are on the same track and plane.
But some of us have friday as delivering date, some monday (me).

Actually it should be in, or on the way to, Almaty, in 1-2h we will know more.
Expected arrival time, local time, in Almaty at 14:45, thanks to cschaetzle timetable ;-9

Korea: + 7h
Almaty: + 4h

 

[iscajal]

FWIW, I called UPS and they told me it's _likely_ that the thing will arrive on Friday, depending on the region it goes to, but there are no promises of course and so on.

 

[cmsj]

If anyone is interested, I added some photos to the iCloud photostream album I posted yesterday, of the space grey macbook compared to a 15" rMBP.

What I'd like to ask in return is that someone post some comparison shots of the 12" rMB against an 11" Air please

 

[inspiron]

thanks to flightradar, the UPS flight 5X9 from Seoul to Almaty will land in 3 Min. (Status 10:48 german time). Transit to Cologne will be on the same flight number. In general flight 5X9 will have a stop over in Warsaw (WAW).
