just have to wait until the wife gets home tonight and the kids are in bed before we open it. Around 9pm it is.
I need to get out more don't I?

ARHGHGHGHRHH!!!
Had requested TNT to have it delivered to a work address as no one was going to home and what do they do - they attempt to deliver it at home. Phoned them up and they said, Oh yeah, it was meant to be delivered to the work address but we didn't so there you go. Asked if they could redeliver it today to the work address and they said no. Not at work or home today or tommorow so it'll be Thursday when I can get it delivered. Don't have a car other wise I would head down to the depot tonight

The depot's out behind the Maybury Casino (out near the Marriot just before the big Gyle underpass/Roundabout), so you could always get a bus out that way (there must be loads that go to RBS Gogarburn).

Disgraceful! So basically:
- Their planes are crap
- Their distribution centers are crap
- Their tracking system is (WORSE than) crap
- Their local depots are crap
Make sure you let Apple know about your experience with TNT.
The FedEx told me that it was going to be delivered tomorrow... so I came to work early today, and now I see a delivery exception slapped to my tracking status!!! They tried to deliver today, and returned because I was not at home. Why the heck would they deliver a day earlier!? haha oh well, I guess I will have to wait till tomorrow.
I feel like shooting myself in the foot now.

Has a look on google maps last week. Seems like quite a bit down a road with no pavements to get to the depot - unless I've been reading it wrong (the depot is on the airport grounds, right?)
I sure hope that FEDEX isn't going to wait until their estimated delivery date to drop this thing off. Last update shows it's 80 miles away, "at dest sort facility," and that was 5 hours ago! Come on FEDEX, you can do it...you can pull off your two day shipping if you hurry! I may have to hurry and print off the presigned slip from Apple in case they decide to come by later today while I'm at school or work. This tension is killing me!

We should send a group complaint letter. Obviously written by someone with a much better grasp of the English language than me though
Love to get a email 'from the Office of Steve Jobs' with apologies included.
Pleasant Surprise...
Just saw this morning that mine is actually out on delivery. Holy Crap!! 2 days early. Hopefully you get yours today as well.
I'm very excited about this and I surely hope to get it today (Monday).
If I get it, I'll let you know the second that I receive it by posting here.
What are your plans for when you get it? Are you going to format and reinstall from scratch or you'll keep the default installation? I've heard good things about Quicksilver, OnyX and NeoOffice and I plan to install them right away (as soon as I learn how to install stuff on Macs).

Ahh...
I just tried Google maps and yeh it looks totally in the sticks. It's on the North East side of the Airport so not at the Terminal.
I'd been using multimap so without the satillite it's didn't look quite so remote...
Taxi?
My MBP just came and it's perfect. Whoever said that BS earlier about FedEx waiting until the estimated delivery date -- that simply isn't true. I called FedEx last night and was told they give a longer than usual estimate because of potential problems with U.S. Customs.
My MBP had an estimated delivery today of tomorrow @ 10:30AM. Well, it came today at 10:20AM. Now that is service.

I only hope FEDEX can pull through on their 2 day business shipping. It left Apple on Friday and is now (well, last update as of 2:30am) sitting about 80 miles south of me at the dest sort facility. Come on FEDEX, you're killing me!
EDIT: Spoke too soon! I'm holding it now!

Hopefully you get yours today. FedEx has mine on a truck heading my way now, and if you recall ours left Shangai together.
I don't think I'll get much work done once it arrives...heh.
I'm happy for you mate. My Fedex status hasn't changed and still shows Memphis... go figure. I really doubt I will get it today at this point.
