Has your MBP shipped yet?

[talented]

Merge Transit

I ordered my CTO MBP with some other products, so it isn't sent to me directly.

Order details say: "Shipped on: Apr 16, 2010 via Merge In Tnst CZ Pra"
But there is no tracking number. So I know nothing

Is there any possibility to check where my MBP is?

 

[Stangs55]

Yup....why the heck did mine leave China only to arrive in China 22 hours later?!!!?

...Volcano affecting US flights? I don't see the words "delayed" anywhere...and my arrival date is unchanged....but this looks worrisome...

 

[dclussier]

Yup....why the heck did mine leave China only to arrive in China?!

My guess would be that they have flights out of Guangzhou to the US sooner than they do out of Shanghai or something like that. If your delivery date didn't change then it's probably nothing to worry about.

Still kind of odd that it would backtrack.

 

[blake.]

has anyone in the UK actually received any tracking information?

my (free with rebate) printer is apparently being sent via Syncreon Technology, who I can't seem to track, but my MBP just says "merge in transit". estimated delivery 5th may - i was the very first to order in the UK according to the apple rep.

it's a CTO, but im pretty angry that it's gonna take almost a month to send. i paid a premium price for this and i expect a premium service.

 

[montycharlie]

Also in the UK and my order is the same. Ordered on the 14th a 15"MBP with HR screen and 7200 HD and also a time capsule.

Tracking info says shipped, with the time capsule having been sent by 'Syncreon Technology' and 'merge in transit' for the MBP. Cant track either of them and my estimated delivery date is now the 5th May.

This will be my first mac and I must admit I am also quite disappointed with Apple shipping times. Even before the volcano problems my date was the 28th April (2 weeks!) from the order date.

Just saw this in my tracking. Maybe it's on a truck to GA?

Mine says the same thing. I live in Atlanta. I'm hoping I get mine sooner than Wednesday, which is what the estimated delivery date is.

 

[JimAtLaw]

Ordered mine at shortly after 6am on the 13th (minutes after the store reopened), CTO 17"/i7/8GB/512GB SSD, and it reached Oakland this morning and already left on its way to South San Fran. The delivery date on the order said 16th-22nd once it was in the shipping stage, FedEx still says the 22nd, guessing it should actually be here tomorrow!

Just saw my 17" CTO sticking out the back of Hamilton's McClaren, very nice of him to bring it back personally.

If you order a Apple Hardware it comes via UPS... if like you have you have got extra items it goes into the EU D.C, at that point you will see your status change to a full TNT or UPS tracking number. Check for updates on apple.com for the usa as theiy get info show up earlier than the uk system.

Even before all the Ash stopping flights Apple always over estimated the delivery times, you will find when it gets to D.C it will change...

 

[bcb23]

Ordered mine on Tuesday around noon PST (17 inch i7 BTO) and it still says "Prepared for Shipment" as it has since Thursday. I paid extra for the 2-3 day shipping, and the Delivery date still says "April 16 to April 22". I hate waiting, but am anxious to get it.

 

[saxey]

UPS finally updated my tracking status, and now my package is leaving Louisville, and should be on its way up north to Toronto.

Im assuming that its probably being driven here, which is about a 9-10 hour drive according to Google Maps. I think it will get here for tomorrow! Woo!

 

[cheezewiz]

What's going on?!

I ordered a MBP 15" i7 High Res w/ 500GB 7200rpm hdd and absolutely cant wait for it to get here. I'm in San Jose California (not too far south of Oakland). Can anyone explain why my package just took a HUGE detour?

How long did it take apple to ship your customized mbp's since you ordered them? I've been saving for this laptop for 8 moths and now that I've finally ordered it I'm eager to have it. I can't wait much longer.

 

[BASTI51]

Yeah I do... low 13" as well... 3:30pm.. everything the same.
Have you ordered it with Apple on Campus?

No I ordered it over the educationstore b/c my school doesn't support apple on campus. What did you pay for?

Cologne is just 30km away from here, so they probably pick them up early tomorrow like DHL always do. This could be the reason or where do u live?

WTF, mine is the same - I'm in the San Mateo area, and mine looks like it was on the same planes. Jesus Christ, why are they shipping Bay Area units from Oakland to Memphis?!

Now I may understand why it says the 22nd instead of the 19th for delivery... apparently they've decided to ship it across the U.S. and back again for no reason, no wonder FedEx is so #@$^ing expensive.

yeah.. ordered it over the education store as well. That's probably the reason then.

I'm in Munich right now.. so i will certainly not see it tomorrow. That's alright though as i wouldn't be able to receive it tomorrow anyways. (At work all day)

Let me know if you get it tomorrow!

 

[nativetexanzach]

As far as I know, mine's been in China for a day and a half and is still there.

Here's my FedEx page from a couple minutes ago:

(The shipment travel history is in Central Daylight Time; the ship date is in China Standard Time--thirteen hours ahead of CDT)

I know I'll get it eventually, but c'mon! I ordered it the Tuesday Apple refreshed. </self-pity>

All we can do is wait.

 

[AppleFusion]

I've got the same times as a few others with UPS. I'm in the UK, ordered less than two hours after launch.

I know this obviously isn't UPS' fault, but they should probably be making some alternative arrangements as this delay may last weeks. They could fly everything to the closest hub they have that isn't locked down in Europe and go by road from there.

Even if it were only MBPs bound for the UK it would probably take a few trucks full so it has too be worthwhile when you consider that's only a tiny amount of the total of things being shipped.

They are no doubt contemplating this and maybe even putting it into action, but the notice on their homepage simply says expect delays; no word of any action other than waiting on their part.

If anyone is interested:

The tracking system is poor compared to DHL. Misleading info on every update (it was never in cologne so why put that info on the report?)

I should probably just resign myself to waiting patiently for the next few days/weeks/months/years.

Good luck to all the MBPs who share a container and possibly a flight with mine

For those of us in Atlanta, this is my latest tracking data (as of 1:42pm today).. My expected delivery date is Tuesday, the 20th. Anyone else with a later delivery date but similar tracking may get it sooner. I'm hoping for a Monday delivery, but guess we won't know anything until it gets to whereever it's "in transit" to.. Could very well mean loaded on the plane and ready to fly to Atlanta on the 4pm flight (FDX921), or that it's now on a truck to Atlanta, or perhaps that the "bundle" of other MBPs it was with has now been split up into individual orders. Any other guesses?

 

[zifty]

Why did I ever choose to order a BTO?! I just went by my local Apple store and they had 15", i7, high-res, anti-glare in stock! The only thing I'd need to do is upgrade the memory to 8GB and install an SSD and I've have the same as what I ordered and would have had it all installed before the end of last week.

Very disappointed I assumed that the higher-end models and anti-glare wouldn't be available in the local store -- but that's totally my fault. If my BTO wasn't already in transit out of Memphis, I would consider cancelling. At least I can exercise my patience a little more this way (already been waiting a year for this model anyways).. Who's up for starting a "Unofficial waiting on Sandy Bridge" thread??

At least yours is actually in the US, mine is still stuck in China, ordered Tuesday as well.

 

[MBPi7]

Although my machine is listed as Shipped I have just noticed that the funds have been returned to my account.

Anybody else experienced this?
