Mine's supposed to be delivered today, but it's still In Transit from Shanghai. It was last updated on the 17th at 12pm, so I guess it has to be somwhere else by now.

Not counting on today's delivery though.
 
15" i7, 7200rpm HD, High-res glossy screen.
Delivering to Launceston, Tasmania.
Ordered on the Thursday morning after they went up on Wednesday night.
Estimated delivery is the 22nd.

Every other time I've ordered BTO things from Apple (Twice in the last six months) they've gone from Pudong straight to Sydney then to Launceston, 3 days total each time.


Also when I search my tracking number on TNT Australia, it says it was electronically lodged in Sydney last night, so it was probably meant to arrive then.

yeh the sydney thing probably does mean that...mine doesnt say anything like that though.

also, with the hong kong thing, im not sure if the MBPs are different but when the new iMacs came out all BTO orders to australia went through hong kong, at least all of the ones on one of the macrumors threads...maybe it has something to do with a new product launch, although i cant see what difference the new product would make...just an idea

try calling TNT and seeing what the electronic lodge in sydney means..the number is 131 150
 
Mine shows

Estimated Delivery Date (Subject to change) 04 May 2010 (Subject to change) <<< WHAT?!
Current Delivery Status Shipment dispatched 16 Apr 2010

Also there is no tracking number displayed anywhere on the site, and its been like that since Friday morning (UK time)... oh and I am in the UK btw.

Tried online chat but the chick i spoke to was very rude, saying I have to wait... when I asked if my warranty (went for apple care) will be extended since I did not receive my MBP yet and got AppleCare enrolment confirmation as of 16th, she just closed the chat one me!

What the freak?

I've got exactly the same problem... No updates since last Friday. Also a shipment to the Netherlands. Let's just hope that they already left China.
 
ordered April 14th, a 13" Macbook Pro to the UK.

Shipped on the 19th April (today weyyyyy).

Estimated delivery date: 21st :)

Arrival estimation before actual shipping was 25th, 26th of April.
 
Hey guys, I'm in the UK

Ordered an i7 hi res 15" on 14th April, shipped 17th andddd DELIVERED TODAY that's incredibly quick considering all the current courier problems going on

On a side note I know a lot of people have said the glossys are taking a while but mine is a glossy and I've had no hiccup

Good for you. I supposed yours was shipped from UK to UK since you haven't ordered a customize model, have you ? It was then shipped by train/truck. Enjoy it :)

I did customise it. 7200 RPM HD + High Res Glossy display. That's what I find surprising. Maybe they have some of these pre-made as they guessed it would be a popular choice????
 
There's a little bit of hope for everyone in Europe! I just phoned UPS and the woman was really helpful. At the moment I have the: " PACKAGE DATA PROCESSED BY BROKERAGE. WAITING FOR CLEARANCE / RELEASED BY CLEARING AGENCY. NOW IN-TRANSIT FOR DELIVERY" notice, but the woman said it has actually left China some time last night and is headed to Germany. She apologized for the delay in status changes and said it is possibly due to there being a time difference between Europe and China. She said my status should be updated in the next few hours, and to give them a call if I need any further help with the statuses. Hopefully she was right when she said it left China because the time she said it left is not on my tracking notices, so I doubt it would have been logged in their computers if it wasn't true. Fingers crossed!

Thanks for the update, mine is in the same boat (on the same plane, LOL!)

Looking at the flights across Europe it seems there are a few cargo planes (TNT, AirBridge Cargo etc) so hopefully UPS is following suit.

Also, I think if you look at the tracking before the last one it will say DEPARTURE SCAN. I think this is what is expected. The next update to that is the arrival scan in Germany, so I don't expect we are missing an update in any case.

Well I decided to Cancel My Order today, as it had been sitting on Prepared for Shipment since Yesterday morning. I have a very tight deadline for the arrival as I have family travelling through Brisbane. I rang the Apple Store Chermside and Apple Store Robina, and both of them had the i7 17" Antiglare MBPs in stock. But neither store had the 8GB RAM to upgrade.
Going this route also means that I can't upgrade to 7200 RPM hard drive in store.
However in order for my family to bring the MBP back home to me, the MBP would have to ARRIVE in Brisbane at the delivery address by 8:30AM on Wednesday morning, I had no option but to cancel my order.

Looking on the Apple site it said that I could not cancel my order as it had moved to Prepared to Shipment.

So I did the next best thing, and rang my credit card company and they verified that Apple had not charged my credit card, but had only placed a check against the funds on the card. They suggested that I should Cancel my Credit Card, and they would issue me a new credit Card, and Apple would be unable to process my order, as I now have a new Credit Card number.
The fee is only a $50 NZ to get a new Credit Card.

The advantage of me getting my family to bring it home to me is that they will be able to claim the GST back from the Australian Tourist Refund Scheme (instant 10% discount) :D The likelihood of it arriving before they left was looking EXTREMELY low. This would mean no 10% GST refund, as well as an international airfare from Port Moresby to Brisbane, hotel fees and return flight!

SO I got my family to go buy a stock i7 17" AntiGlare MacBook Pro from Apple Store Chermside in Brisbane this afternoon.

I now have my MBP purchased, and am in the market for an 8GB RAM upgrade. I also have the option of upgrading my HD for either a 7200 RPM or SSD if prices decrease in the immediate future.

What do you think Apple Store Online will do? Bar me from future purchases on the online store?
:confused:

No they'll just send some men round in black masks to ruffle you up a bit and break a few things so you don't do it again.
 
Mine is at FedEx's "local facility", but there's no "on truck for delivery" scan.. My scheduled delivery date is tomorrow.. Anyone else seeing an "on truck for delivery" whose delivery date isn't today?
 
What's happening in SHANGHAI ???????

I'm now awake and my MBP is 'STILL' stuck in SHANGHAI. WHAT?! :mad:
(7:19 EST)

What, Why, How does it still in SHANGHAI... So Curious about it.

On a side note I know a lot of people have said the glossys are taking a while but mine is a glossy and I've had no hiccup

That is extremely positive news. Mine has also shipped and is due for delivery today, however UPS continues to state In Transit.

What was your last shipping status?

Orrr, you got one of the ones I ordered that Apple cancelled on the 14th because I had ordered 3 laptops with my student discount. Exact same specs. :)

How are they going to cancel a ~$10k order you ask? I know, I said the same thing.
 
Ok mine is at the FED EX place right down the road from me but it still says it will be delivered on Thursday LMAO.

I could walk to where it is but I guess it will just sit there till Thursday?

They can't be serious.
 
First post!

I have been following the update process for a couple months now and decided on the low-end base 15" after the update. I'm just wondering if anyone else in Canada didn't have their MBP come from china? My tracking information starts in Concord, Ontario. It just seems weird to me.
