I just called them....my flight is going from Shanghai to UK directly. It says flight departed as the 9th but so far doesnt show here so she still thinks its in Shanghai but her ETA is now showing as the 16th apecode as the 14th and my order status online as the 19th :p

Think i will trust my instinct after 10+ macs and go with Apecode and i think it is sat in the UK now about to be processed.
 
i'm in exactly the same position as you! let me know what they say when you ring...

not alot lol

woman i spoke to basically read off what is already on the apple order status site.

she said it would be delivered by TNT or UPS.

i asked if she could track it in more detail, because i cant, but she just said the same stuff over again.

i said it was shipped on the 8th, today is the 11th.... i would of hoped something was happenening at least. she then said it would take 3 days to get to the UK, then preceeded to tell me it'll arrive on the 20th.

so yeah, a bit like getting blood from a stone.

hopefully, an update will arrive sometime today with tacking numbers
 
My new mac's travels

ok, so I was glad to read just now that others are having the same experiences as I. I ordered my mbp/ipod nano on 6/5, the ipod is at the fed ex facility waiting for me to pick it up after work today, but the mbp just shipping from China on the 9th. The fed ex site hasn't been updated this morning, but I hope my mbp is at least closer this morning than China. I wish paying for two day shipping meant that it actually shipped and arrived in somewhere near those two days. Five days to process the order seems a bit much.

No idea what is going on anymore....this is the most screwed up apple shipment i have ever seen over the years. Yours shipped the same day as mine and my shipping according to apple has dropped to the 16th!

I wonder if these things come from 2 different factories and go to two different airports

I vaguely remember reading that Apple have at least two laptop ODM (Original Design & Manufacture) sites in Asia; Asus and Quanta. It could be that the US orders are being fulfilled from one site and us Europeans are being fulfilled from the other.

I also recall that most Apple delivery flights from China to Europe go to Arnhem in the Netherlands, but it seems that some are now going direct to the UK.

So you could well have hit the nail on the head there...

my apple order status page got a little update

shipped on 8th

in transit to customer on 10th

estimated arrival is now 21st! 2 days added on!

i know logistics can be a PITA but this is a joke.

I've just noticed that my status has been updated to say the same thing. In Transit to Customer - Shipment on Schedule, June 10th.

My delivery date hasn't changed though - still the 20th. Still no carrier details or tracking either.

Same for me :(
Ordered on the 5th
shipped on 8th (as estimated)
original estimated delivery 19-20th June

estimated delivery was updated today to "21st June"

Can't help matters that I ordered a case, so have a "Merge in Transit GB" to slow things down.

If it were not for the Academic discount, I'd cancel the order and go to an Apple store.

I'm still in the dark also.

Ordered on 5th, shipped on 8th and is now somewhere but no-one knows where...? None of the tracking pages show any info after
08 Jun 2007 22:45 Shanghai Shipped From Originating Depot

Apple web page still shows Estimated Delivery Date as 13th June :confused:
 
It would have made delivery faster.

This is my first post from it. (And my first post from a mac). Amazing how quick these things set up. I started set up just after my last post and have already finished (including downloading updates).
 
Finally, Apecode just updated for me:

Code:
Date       Code   Description           Shipping Point             ETA
09 jun 07 32 05 Flight Booked           Apple Shanghai            14 jun 07  
09 jun 07 30 64 Departed from source    Kuehne & Nagel Shanghai   14 jun 07

Is that ETA for arrival at the distribution centre, or to my door?

Apecode still not showing anything for me :confused:
 
this is insane lol, how can it be this bad.

ive never waited this long for anything, even play.com and its super slow free shipping gets here quicker than this.

im really annoyed that its taken this long, and as of yet i am unable to even find out where my package is or if it was actually shipped.

EDIT: sods law in effect

the moment i complain, apecode updates with all my tracking info

i dont understand it very well though. all the shipping points are in shanghai? has my machine just been pinballed arround shanghai or something?

i presume this will be going to arnhem? for the 14th... so going off what i was told, it takes about 1 day to get from arnhem to UK so i am looking at 14-16th i think
 
how does priority overnight work?

I was wondering how overnight is considered. Is it considered overnight from China or from Canada? :confused: China is 14 hours ahead of where I'm at (MST), so didn't know if I should expect it today or tomorrow. Any thoughts?

If it's any help here's my order status for my order placed on June 5 at 7:57 am PDT. It's Standard shipping to Ontario. Now if it would only move from the damn shipping facility in Mississauga!
