mac2be, here is the latest for my shipment. Showing June 20th. Hopefully it will arrive sooner than that, but if not, the 20th isn't bad. I'll be interested to see if yours is on the same shipment.

Looks like I may have to wait for Tuesday, but I really hope it will be here by Monday. Here is my tracker:

I think it's safe to assume that we are on the same boat (literally :D).

Well, it's part 4pm now so it looks like it's not going to be delivered today. Amazing wrongness on TNT's part and now I've kept someone in all day waiting for it :(

I'm really sorry about that mate.

This has been a bit pants really hasn't it.

I'm going to mail a complaint to Apple, the last time I bought a computer from them it was nowhere near this much hassle.

Never mind once we get the kit it won't matter and hey there's an Apple store opening Glasgow soon so won't have to go through this again.

And it's the weekend.:)
 
Nearly there...

The lorry sailed by, 3 miles from my house on it's way to Hinckley, 60 miles from my house. Hopefully I'll get it soon. I'm not expecting it until at least Tuesday really.

was there another link to track our packages?
 
Yes!!! I'm typing from my new MBP! No dead pixels on the screen, thankfully! The keyboard is awesome though, and zero flex (coming from a dell, it's amazing)

The screen needs to open more though, hopefully it will, 'break in' so to speak, and do so :D.

Happy waiting to you fine chaps!
 
Mobbed the Fed Ex man as he walked up, currently my MacBook Pro 17" Hi Res 4GB RAM is going through adoption services for it's debriefing.... (Migration Assistance).
 
Complete farce...

I wouldn't have minded had Apple given us shipping options and I had elected to go with the lower priority shipping, with full knowledge of what that entailed.

I entirely agree with you, we all paid good money for a high end laptops and they give you “cheapo” shipping!! I would of much preferred to of pay extra for my shipping and be safe in the knowledge that it would I would receive my laptop in a reasonable time frame.

As for TNT, They have not got a clue as to where my laptop is and the 3 time I’ve phoned up, all I get is “leave it with us and a customer relation manager will phone you back within an hour” and every time I hear nothing all day. I’m nearly at the end of my tether with the whole ridiculous situation.

:mad: :mad:

Is anyone who got hit by the delay at Shanghai, still finding TNT list their laptop as being in Arnhem like mine is?

....I'm now getting worried about Monday delivery....:(

When I spoke with my local depot approx. 2pm this afternoon, she said they could see it scanned on leaving Arnhem approx. 10pm yesterday. The web tracker still doesn't show this. She also said it would arrive Northampton this evening and at the depot by tomorrow (Saturday) morning.

I agree with you. This is 2007 and I have come to expect same day or next day shipping. Taking four days to just ship the product seems ridiculous to me. I ordered a base model with zero upgrades. The lack of updates is also kind of irritating.

I can't remember the last time I ordered something off the internet and it took so long to ship. I think it was 1999.
 
They did update the shipping status:

15 jun 2007 16:40 Arnhem Hub Consignment Received At Transit Point
15 jun 2007 16:38 Arnhem Hub Consignment Passed Through Transit Point

The last I heard from TNT was this afternoon. Lady told me that the shipment left Arnhem at 10pm last night and was on route to the UK. Something about due to delays, etc (bad weather) it wasn't due to get into the UK until tonight/tomorrow. On this basis it should be out for delivery Mon/Tues.

It's still amazes me how bad the TNT tracker is, never updates so you don't have a clue whats going on - what is the point of even having a customer tracking tool that gives you out of date information. Customer service at TNT are pretty useless.

I'm backing on Monday delivery, I think it comes in via other depot first (Heathrow/Northampton) and then onto your local depot, so I would hope this would happen tonight/tomorrow, worst case scenario is it being transfer to the local depot on Monday and OFD on Tuesday.

The whole thing has been a farce - If I don't get concrete answers from TNT on Monday about delivery (which I aim to have on Tuesday due to work commitments) I will be escalating.

Mine's on that boat (plane, hopefully) too. Hoping for monday delivery, or it gets sitting in a close depot I can pick it up!
 
Finally I have a "Prepared for Shipment" status on my order. I ordered this dang this at 9am on the 6th! I got the stock 2.2GHz with a glossy screen (no big upgrade). I have no idea why it has/is taking mine so long, but at least after nearly 10 days of nothing happening I have a glimpse of the light.
 
Since mine has finally shown "Prepared for Shipment" and it is Friday here... does anyone know if it will get picked up for shipping before Monday? I know it is a little past 5am over there right now. I guess it is probably 5am Saturday, so does anyone have an idea if it will be picked up on a Saturday or am I going to have to wait until Monday to get a tracking #?
 
I don't have an estimated delivery date. Maybe I'll get lucky and have it dropped off tomorrow (doubt it though). If not, it'll be here on Monday I'm guessing.

They get picked up on Saturdays and Sundays if the product comes from China. If it comes from the US, no Saturday or Sunday service.
