Are these babies all coming from Shanghai or only the BTO ones? Basicly when I order one on the Apple onlinestore it will always be manually shipped from Shanghai?
I ordered a shock shipping from Shanghai.
Greets to all the fellow people from the Pudong 50.
Finally got my tracking # from fedex. Looks like mine is shipping from the Distribution Center in Elk Grove, Ca.
I guess it is possible I could get it Monday. Probably more likely a Tuesday delivery though. I don't have a delivery date yet because they have not actually picked up the package yet.
This has been a long wait.

That's a seven weeks away! Why didn't you just go with the stock HD and pick up a 7200rpm drive from newegg?

If that's the case, this is an utter joke...
A bad joke.

I was on the phone with FedEx and they were very helpful and clear with me. They said that Apple has very strict rules for them. The 2 days shipping apply since it touches US soil. They also told me that the following apply:
- Apple pays them, so there is no way for you to speed up the process b upgrading the shipping method and paying more money.
- Apple does not allow them to ship on Saturday.
- Apple allow pickups only after a first delivery attempt has been made.
- Fedex will stick to the estimated delivery date, so much so that even if it's obviously available on Monday (it's already 20 miles away), they will deliver my laptop only on Tuesday.
I hope this helps.
Well mine shipping estimate was the 13th, spoke to Fedex on 12th and the girl said for sure will be there 13th before 6pm. Guess what never got there 13th, got on the 14th and the tracking was not updated for 2 days before I recieved it. And the worst part of it all its being shipped back cos its got a problem! So not sure how many more days I will have to wait to get a the new one...

This isn't necessarily true. Although, I guess policy can be different for every FedEx in the country. My brother had an estimated ship date of Tuesday for his MBP and his came on Monday @ 10:18AM.
i have the same international release as you... but mine doesnt say departed form fedex it only says in transit =[

That seems pretty bogus...crazy Apple people. Maybe I should have had Apple upgrade me to overnight at their cost, not just 2 day business.
I am glad that Apple has such strict shipping guidelines these days. A friend of mine works for the local university and ordered his G5 with the educators discount. Well, Apple shipped it and they saw on their tracking that it was delivered. It was not however delivered to his house, but rather some random building on campus. His wife and he had go on a wild hunt to track it down. They eventually got it sorted out and found it, but they were both pretty mad.
So it's finaly with TNT now.
Apple isn't paying them a little bit extra for saterday delivery so, i will get it on monday *if TNT does NOT wait till it's June, 25 just for apple's delivery date*.
Me too. My iPod went to huntingburg, in after louisville, which is about half way between there and here, and did that the same day it was delivered.
HERE THAT FEDEX? GET MY MBP HERE MONDAY! YOU CAN DO IT! (please!)

I reallllly hope you're wrong about the delivery estimate thing.

Me too! Mine actually left China and arrived in Anchorage this morning, and it's Saturday. So, that been said, it's moving on Saturday. Also, my iPod that i just got recently shipped on Saturday There is a good chance that it might make it to at least Salt Lake City by tonight. If that's the case, they may even move it to my hometown today. And that would equal 2 day shipping as requested. I can only hope!
Because that would invalidate the warranty !!
Laptops are fragile and more likely to have problems than desktops because of they are so compact - so I couldn't go without applecare. Also i'm not going to open up a new laptop no matter how fast the drive i'm putting in is !
I felt in the end that if this laptop is going to last me hopefully 3 years, i might aswell get the faster drive - whats 7 weeks wait for the benefits of the faster drive ?!?
I'm bummed about the 7 week wait it going to be agony, hopefully it'll arrive earlier.
I agree that if you wanted to order the faster drive with the computer... that is your right, but opening the computer to upgrade a hard drive does not invalidate the warranty. People have the misconception that opening an apple computer ruins the warranty and that is not the case. You can open the computer and upgrade a part. The new part is obviously not covered under warranty. All the other parts are still under warranty. Even if you screw something up when in the computer, the part you screwed up is no longer under warranty, but all the other parts are.
I don't think most people realize this but....
Just bought my 2.4 15 inch this morning, so I missed out since they don't ship on Saturday.

This is maybe a new selling contract Apple created for you, as for all the rest of the people to replace HD will void the garantee. I know what I speak ab.
I have a custom built replacement ordered early in the morning on the 14th. It's a 2.4Ghz w/4gb Ram and a 200gb HDD. There is no date by the "Ships By" on the order status. When would this ship? Is it on hold?
