Anybody who ordered a CTO around April 16th and haven't got theirs shipped yet ? :(

I ordered a CTO on the 19th.

15.4" / i7 / 7200RPM / 8GB Ram / Apple Care

It was supposed to ship in 5-7 days, after 7 business days I got another delay for 4 business days. That deadline ended today without it shipping and no email if it was delayed again or not. I don't want to keep getting delayed so I just cancelled. Apple will have to do without my money for now.

Sounds very frustrating :eek: I think i'm in the same situation as you. I'll keep waiting until wednesday next week. If there isn't any updates or explanation, i will cancel my order too.
 
Received!

WOW. FedEx is true to their word (at least in my case) Expected delivery by 10:30am. But i went down stairs moments ago and i saw a fedex truck roll down my hill and stop directly in front of my house (9:54am) and i went to the door, signed, and now i'm here to say that im now a 1st time NEW owner of a MAC!!!!!!

The cardboard box my mbp came in is nice and clean, no dinks or holes. looks great!! Haven't opened it yet ^^ gunna wait till i get what i need to get done for the day out of the way 1st, because i know if i unbox it now i won't be doing anything at all today but playing with my new toy!!!!! :D

Thanks to all who have helped out with the transitioning info for my mbp and i hope everyone else gets their mbp soon safe and sound!

:apple:4lyfe!!!!
 
Ugh

The package reached my local FedEx location but isn't "Out for delivery", so I called to ask if I could pick it up since it still shows the delivery date as tomorrow and I will be going out of town tomorrow after I finish my finals and would rather not wait around all day.

I was told they weren't going to attempt to deliver it today because it's not scheduled until tomorrow, and they won't let me pick it up because it is sitting in a crate with other packages.

What makes it even better is that I live two blocks away from the FedEx location, so my MBP is THAT close

Gotta love FedEx

Just so you know. I went through the same thing in Anc on the 21st. Some facilities don't work their bins till delivery date. It would be nice for FedEx to admit that in some areas they only provide 3 day not 2-3 day. If you won't make an attempt at two days it's false advertising to give people the idea that it could be two days when you know in advance it's a 3 day service.
 
still in CN

Ordered 15' i7 antiglare on the 14th. Only "shipped" yesterday, but it's still sitting in China 24hrs later.

Mine's traveling by UPS, but most of what I read here is FedEx. Why the difference? Institutional vs personal order?
 
I'm definitely in the same boat as you Balaamsdonkey, only my MBP is supposed to be delivered to the east coast (NYC).

I hope they haven't scanned my package. IT is still in Memphis.[/QUOTE]

No way! Call now and see what the rep says. It should get a scan if in Sea within an hour.

Where do you live?

Well, good news after all: I checked my status and it is out for delivery despite what the person I spoke to said. Apparently one hand of Fed Ex doesn't know what the other is doing :confused:
 
I have a replacement coming from a 4/09 MBP.

spoke to a representative 4/23. New MBP is going to be here today.
 
I ordered a MBP 15.4/2.66/CTO on May 3 and paid for 2-3 day shipping. My order confirmation says it should deliver May 11-17.

I really need it to arrive by May 21 so that I can use it to work while travelling. What are my chances of getting it in time?

Unless there is a natural disaster, you'll have it by the 17th. Just be watching this thread and see how things are moving.

So I posted that it was still n Memphis, called and asked if it was correct. I was told that it was in Seattle. I checked again and it showed as in Seattle sort facility. The fedex rep said I should have it before noon. We'll see.

Doh, I didn't realise that you could pay for faster shipping. Mine's not expected till the 21st of May at the earliest. Although I've heard that it does arrive earlier than stated occasionally.

Mine was on a truck by 0745 local last time around for my morning delivery. I'd keep watching.... But I'm confident that it will be delivered very soon.
 
WTF?? Yours is flying in circles, it's back in Alaska again then back to Kentucky again. It must be lodged somehere or someone on board is enjoying your MacBook. I'll be pissed if that was my package bumped around constantly... better inspect it upon your receipt. Mine is now sitting in Kentucky, next stop is final destination Toronto Pearson Airport.

Oh I don't think anything sinister is going on. I'm pretty sure this is the usual confusion ups has when they try to handle shipping. It could be just for me but they typically run in circles when I order things.
 
My i7 MBP was shipped monday. I got a mail from apple that said it would be here on the 14th of may or before.
But when i track my shipment on apples website it says on currently delivery status that it is going to be there on may 7th?
But that all the info there is? nothing else?
I don't quite understand how come there is no other info if it is going to be here in two days?
 
How come the 'ships in' dates from the Apple Store website say 1-3 days (and gets updated frequently) and yet many people (me including) are waiting for 10 business days without the thing being built?

Basically Apple's website is BS - they probably just use a random number generator...

Most likely there are delays on certain parts for custom orders (matte screen, etc). I know Dell is able to note which parts create delays when you are customizing so you know ahead of time, I wonder if Apple's system is not able to do that also.
 
mine is in fullerton now...were do you find the number to call fedex? i would want to pick it up!
