I just called Apple. The guy on the phone was polite but absolutely clueless and unwilling to help. He wouldn't tell me where it's coming from nor why it hasn't shipped yet despite the fact that it has been in the "prepared for shipment" status for several hours now. He just hypothesized that it may be shipping from California, in which case there is still a couple of hours in which the laptop could be shipped. Not super impressed so far. :eek:
 
It looks like FedEx delivers on Saturday, but do they deliver on Sunday also?

Actually they don't deliver on Saturdays. There is a different service for the 2day shipping with "Saturday service" and apparently Apple's contract with FedEX doesn't include weekend work. I know, that's what I was trying to get mine upgraded, but they (both FedEX and Apple) said that it would probably delay shipping 3 days.. So I guess it's Monday delivery after all for me..
 
I just picked mine up a few hours ago!!! Last one at the Apple retailers around here. They held it for me for almost 2 days too. Lovin it :) I see the yellowish tint that people are upset about but it looks amazing and doesn't bother me all the much. Any picture editing or the like will be done on an external monitor anyhow.

This thing is smokin fast :) *hugs my mbp*
 
is anyone else's MBP getting shipped from California? any updates yet?

I don't know where mine is shipping from. I know that now it's Friday the 15th, and my laptop is still not shipped, despite Apple's shipping ETA: June 12-14. That bothers me and really makes me wonder about my choice to buy from the :apple: store online in the first place. I should have gone to the store nearby and picked one up right away. I was so foolish to buy online. I'll never buy online anything from Apple again, unless the local store is out of stock. :mad: :(
 
Still Waiting.....

Mine has been showing "prepared for shipment" for about 5 or 6 hours now. I think it is about 12:40p in Shanghai right now. Hopefully it will ship soon.
 
got mine today...missed the delivery and had to drive to pick it up. Only touched it once...so scared of scratching it!
 
Do you know if you can cancel an order that's in "Prepared for shipping" status? Do they give you back the money on your credit card right away? (assuming they've already charged you in the first place).

I'm seriously considering canceling my laptop order and going to the store nearby to pick one up. The only issue that I've is that my ipod that comes free from the educational deal, has already been charged and shipped, so if I purchase the laptop then in a retail store, will I still be able to claim the rebate or do they have to be purchased together in the same order?

Thanks,
Zach.

you can't cancel your order once it's in the "prepared for shipping" stage, unfortunately. and to get the iPod rebate, you have to use the online store..

Thanks andreio. My package has finally shipped today at 9.30 AM (I assume that's China time). Let's hope it gets here fast.
 
Mine Too!!!

Thanks andreio. My package has finally shipped today at 9.30 AM (I assume that's China time). Let's hope it gets here fast.

Mine shipped at 8:30a China time. Can't wait. Maybe our laptops will be shipping buddies. Hopefully they will be in by early next week.

Ordered a CTO on the 11th, shipping indicated 12-14 and delivery 14-20. The item went to "prepared for shipment" at 3 PM EST and been there all the time until 1.20 AM EST. Checking FedEX doesn't show a transmission at 1.20PM China time but rather 9.20 AM. Therefore it took Apple 3 hours to update the system. Yours should be on its way too. :)

Very probable. Finger crossed, they should be here in a matter of days and we'll hopefully be able to hug them by Monday or Tuesday. :D
 
I think that either Monday or Tuesday we'll have our MBPs if they shipped out by now..

I really hope so. Fedex doesn't show an estimate yet, but I'm sure it will in a few hours. I'd love to get my precious lappy on Monday. :)
 
mac2be and gibbz, congrats! mine wasn't shipped tonight, which is ok. i'm leaving the country on tuesday and was hoping for a monday delivery, which was a long shot anyway. really i just wanted the free ipod for the long flight. anyway, enjoy your new computers.

They must have accidentally shipped you one of those ultra ultra tiny 5" MBP's.

:D

Code:
?? Jun 2007 	17:37 	Arnhem Hub 	Consignment Received At Transit Point

while it seems i havent got such info (probably because mine took a different route) mine arrived at the EDC in arnhem on the 12th i think, then it departed the same day

apparently it arrived in the uk yesterday (14th) but it may well of been late on wednesday and it just took time to get sorted

and now today, i checked apple, had a UPS number and i checked it and its now out for delivery from sedgefield

problem is, no one is home now. and i couldnt take a day off work.

hopefully it'll get dropped off after lunch time, there'll be people in then. if not its a 30min drive for me to get to the UPS depot in sedgefield.
 
Just called TNT and they'e had to raisse a query about it as they can see exactly where it is.

It may be in the UK and the system hasn't been updated.

Here's hoping and that I can pop out to turnhouse this PM to pick it up.
 
More info for those of us with:

09 Jun 2007 12:05 Shanghai Consignment Received At Transit Point
09 Jun 2007 09:14 Shanghai Consignment Picked Up

Just over 50 consignments from Apple have been delayed on this flight.

The plane has now been fixed and is on its way to Frankfurt.

Delivery should take place tomorrow.

Gets in to Northampton at ~2pm, therefore delivery won't be till Monday. :(
 
So i'm still looking @ 25-26 june est delivery date.
But when i click on track and the second track (in the window attached).

I get a delivery date of 15 June (today), and a tracking code of "NL DISTRIBUTION CENTER", which seems to give little information about delivery date.

What to trust? Will my MBP come today?
