U.K. - MBP 15" i7, HR AG LCD, HD 7200, & neoprene sleeve
Order Placed: 19th April
Shipped: 26th April
Est. Del: 11th May
I've just received the shipping confirmation
Does the 11th May estimated look like an average timescale for a U.K. delivery?
Seeing a few of the "problem" topics here I was wondering what is the deal with returning if I find faults?, (I'm crossing my fingers until it arrives ). I'm a little worried as I'm U.K. based and don't have an Apple Store anywhere near me....Do you have to send the notebook back first or is a replacement sent to be swapped? I would be beyond annoyed if I had to enter into a cycle of waiting for weeks for the next replacement.
I'm guessing any problems are magnified here, so its only a very small percentage of machines that have quality issues?
See whats happened? now that I know its on its way, I'm actually starting to panic about getting a lemon. Lets see what I'm like opening the box!

A friend got a mbp 10' with a serious ding on the laptop. They email you something you can glue to the box to send it back. When it gets scanned, they send your replacement. Yours doesn't need to arrive to apple before they send out the replacement.
Destination: Sydney AUS
I hope this is a gross overestimation. The destination is listed as my own suburb, so I assume they are shipping it directly to my house, but why is it going to take so long? Packages from Asia delivered express take four business days (max).
Thanks bafonso.
But that would still mean another few weeks of waiting for the replacement to arrive......still better than I was dreading.
Now I've finished typing this, I'll go back to crossing my fingers.

Ha you all think it's been a long wait for your mbp? I ordered mine on the 16th and it still hasn't prepared to ship.
Where's it shipping to? what was your order?
I ordered on the 16 and it shipped this morning. CTO 15" i7 with AG display.
same here.
tomorrow is day 7 of the "ships in 5-7 days"
if i hear nothing - i'm calling...
From FedEx:
Ship date Apr 26, 2010
Estimated delivery Apr 28, 2010 by 10:30 AM
I'm really surprised they say it will be here just the day after tomorrow, in fact... I'm unprepared and need to figure out how to handle delivery since that's a busy day for me.

Wow our orders are very EHarmony compatible. I live in NY and have the same specs (with the addition of the 7200rpm).
I ordered the 15 i7 high res glossy on the 22nd at 10 am Apple time. Also paid for expedited delivery. Says it could arrive as soon as the 30. We will see... Fingers crossed since I have the weekend off.
Also, something I never really thought about until now. Since it is being shipped directly to my address. For the Australians who have ordered MBPs from overseas via Apple Online (Australian) store, did you have to pay any tax?
I assumed that the MBP would be shipped to an Apple store in Sydney or Chatswood, and then to me. Since it's well over 1000AUD, will I be taxed by this as per usual?
One last check before bed (2a CST) and mine is .finally. prepared for shipment. day 7. woohoo.
when did you get your tracking number? Mine has been shipped on Saturday but I don't have a tracking number just yet? I have one additional itemif it makes a diff? Based in uk too it was a CTO
I ordered on the 14th, with en ETA 28th/29th and status "Merge in Tnst NL Til", got the shipping confirmation on the 24th with an ETA of May 11th. Today, I called Apple Store Support, and was told that, as far as she knew, it and many similar CTO orders actually haven't been shipped out of China, since they are having many delays with flights to Europe. FML
You know what I kind of thought they weren't shipped for some reason why else would we not get a tracking number. It so better arrive on the 11th may cause if not I will be fuming with someone over the freaking phone.
Yep, you do pay tax. For example, if you were to order a stock model and it were to hypothetically ship from Shanghai you'd pay the same price (+tax) as if you bought it at a retail store.
And as far as I know, it comes straight to you via your local TNT depot.. (instead of going to a store first)
