Excitement fades
Just checked again the tracking (habbit I guess over the past week) and get the message that delivery was attempted. Well, I'm home, 2 kids and wife are home on the main floor and out front! Unless he tried to sneak in the backyard to deliver, this is unreal!! Called FedEx and they said he did indeed try to deliver. The funny thing is, there is no tag. The lady said that if they attempt, they always leave a tag.
My wife has a package as well today, and her tracking still says "out for delivery". We are thinking that he either went to the wrong address, or said he tried to deliver so he could make it past the 12 deadline. The delivery guys don't carry phones she said, so they have to rely on computer messages. The nice thing that gives me a little comfort is that my wife's package is on the way and so it should be on the same truck. We might see him afterall. RRRRR! So close, but still in limbo.

Ordered mine at 10am PST on the 12th, stock 2.4 with matte screen + spare battery/power adapter and airplane adapter. At the time, the site quoted shipping in 1-3 days.
Accessories arrived this morning at my office in Nashville, so I decided I should check the status of my laptop, when I was greeted by this:
MBP 15/2.4/2X1GB/160-5400/256VRAM-USA
MA896LL/A
Ships by: Jun 26
Delivers by: Jun 29
The 26th - 29th is all to real i am afraid to say. Actually you should pray that is when it comes. Mine was ordered June 8th at 7:30am and was set to ship between June 11 - 13. Today I got a sweet little message saying it is not set to ship until June 29, that's close to a month I will have had to wait for this thing to come and all I did was upgrade to a 160HD@5400.
Don't know at this stage... just tried TNT and my contact has gone for the day (having failed to give me the promised update). The people I spoke to couldn't give me any further information, other than to say that failing any further delays it would typically be in the UK tomorrow. Whether that means delivered tomorrow I have no idea.
They open at 8am - at which time I shall be on the phone!

Why bother? You calling is not going to make it go any faster..... just leave the tracker widget going and wait.
Not that it's anyone's business, but I'm driving out of town tomorrow for the weekend and need to know whether it's going to arrive tomorrow or not. If not I can leave in the morning, if it is I'll wait.
Ok with you?
Order Status page updated. Good sign?
My apple order status page still says ships "by jun 20." However, where on the left side it used to say "payment method, shipping method, and shipping options," it now also includes "billing address, email address, and shipping address." did this happen to anyone else? do you know if it is a good sign? people have been saying that they bill right before they are going to ship.

I phoned TNT about an hour ago and the lady said that as it's at Arnhem Hub then it should be delivered tomorrow but to phone tomorrow to make sure.
out of curiosity, what tracker widget?
...i have a replacement MBP coming for a replacement that i received a month and a half ago but just wasn't cutting it... since last may, i've had a core duo, to a merom, now to a santa rosa... im worried my replacement, though stock and not cto, will be affected by these shipping delays.
if you just google 'TNT tracker widget' it should come up. There are two (that I'm aware of) - one works for both TNT and Apple (and other sites), the other is specific to TNT and provides a line-by-line update.
ok so now it seems that my order is being shipped from the WEST COAST! not china, and it is being prepared to be shipped out and my card should be charged in a few hours. I really hope this person knew what she was saying and that it's not coming from China instead.
it should be here either tomorrow or saturday. I'll be very interested to see if and how this progresses.

I got mine this morning, I must say that this machine rocks! The only test I conducted was a very silly (and probably inaccurate) speed test comparing the opening of Adobe Photoshop CS3 to my 24 inch iMac. The MBP opened it up 4 seconds faster. I don't know if that helps any of you but it was enough for me to know that I bought a kick ass laptop!
Andreio, you and I are on a similar boat I believe. I ordered mine on the 11th with 2 days shipping option. Apple said:
Ships by: Jun 12 - Jun 14
Delivers by: Jun 14 - Jun 20
It always showed "Not shipped Yet" but now it suddenly says "Prepared for Shipment". I really hope that, unlike the ipod, it's shipping from the West Coast, so that it would reach me in Ontario by Saturday. That would be just plain awesome. I was being very nervous but the "not shipped yet" went away and I feel better. Hopefully it will arrive without defects. Is it true that the number of defects on Apple products tend to be extremely low when compared to other brands of electronics?

yes apple products are far superior to other electronics. I never buy first generation Apple products ever though..
I guess we have to wait and see. My credit card hasn't been charged yet..
Mine arived in NL for merge in transit today but it hasn't shipped out with UPS or TNT (damn how long can it take to put a sleeve in the damn box ). So my shipment will be on Monday hopefully
). So my shipment will be on Monday hopefully

Mine was ordered on May 25, delayed for updates (thanks Apple) and has been showing ships by June 18 since June 5 updates. Just today my apple status page also says the billing info just like what you have seen. Hopefully they will ship soon!!
