Sometimes UPS shipping really sucks!! Usually, UPS is pretty good. I live in Kansas and ordered my Mac Pro which had a delivery date, per Apple, of Dec. 26th. So, I have been watching the UPS tracking and sure enough, my Mac Pro made it to Wichita, KS from Austin, TX via Mesquite, TX and Oklahoma City, OK on Tuesday, Dec 24th, which is only 3 hrs. away from where I live. So, I thought there would be no problem getting the Mac Pro today! Everything seemed to be on schedule for a Dec. 26th delivery. I mean it made it from TX to KS in less than 24 hrs! It left Austin, TX at 7:01PM on 12/23 and arrived in Wichita, KS on 12/24 at 3:34PM.
Today, the 26th, I noticed my Mac Pro via UPS had finally left Wichita, KS around 10:50AM, which seemed a little late, but I still thought there was plenty of time for a 3PM to 4PM delivery. So, a little while ago I checked the UPS tracking again and now my Mac Pro is in Kansas City, KS which is 5 hrs. away!!!
I have ordered iPads from Apple and they were delivered in (2) days from CHINA, no less, (This was the FREE shipping from Apple) but it is going to take (5) days, to deliver a Mac Pro to Kansas from Texas which is only (2) states away, since it is obvious that I am now not going to get the Mac Pro until Friday, the 27th, at the earliest??
I realize there are others that have ordered a Mac Pro and have shipping dates in February 2014 and beyond, so sorry for the vent, but I was really looking forward to getting my hands on that Mac Pro today and now it is on a UPS Walkabout.
Oh well, maybe tomorrow.
