Thanks very much, in the time that it took me to post that message the status has changed:

Shipped on: Jun 19, 2007 via FEDERAL EXPRESS

I did pay the extra 15$ for 2-3 day shipping. Heck I should have it this week!
Of course I didn't even mention the model I ordered so here it is:

MBP 17/2.4 CTO
Z0ED

Custom configuration
2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
2GB 667 DDR2 SDRAM - 2x1GB
160GB Serial ATA Drive @ 7200
SuperDrive 8X
MacBook Pro 17-in Hi-Res WideS
NO MODEM
NO OPTIONAL SW
BkLit Keyboard/Mac OS
Country Kit

I couldn't bring myself to pay the extra $750 for another 2 Gig of Ram but that is easily changable with aftermarket memory for alot less money.

Well it looks like my wait is over having placed my order on the 7th of June. Should be with me in the next few hours!:D

Considering that when I first looked at having the 7200rpm drive (on the 5th and 6th of June) the Apple Store online was suggesting 4-6 weeks, I am delighted.

After actually placing my order the original estimate was for delivery on the 22nd June, then it changed briefly to the 20th of June, and then to the 21st or 22nd of June for a long while until yesterday when Apple said that it should be delivered 3 days ago (bizarre). Then finally it changed this morning to today!

2 questions however:

1. How come my tracking information doesn't go all the way back to China like others I've seen? Mine starts abruptly from the time that my package arrived on UK soil last night.
2. How do you get a screenshot of your tracking information page?

Good luck to all of you that are waiting, waiting, waiting..............

It will arrive in its own good time!:)
 
Opened it last night, screen is fine, its FFFFFFaaaaasttt, quiet, generally a world apart from this aging G4 tower. One thing, a bit of a disappointment really, is that the when closed screen is not flush on the left side by 2mm compared to the right. After serious consideration I'd rather live with that than have screen issues etc with a replacement. As this is our first laptop I'm sure it will develop more battle scars with the passage of time. Such a shame after all the delays that the closing mechanics seem, well, basic and badly designed imo. Still a great piece of kit though. Hope all the other Pudong 50 have finally recieved theirs.
Apple store no more I say.:)
 
Ah well, two more days for me. That's if TNT actually deliver to the right address. Now I want it delivered to home they'll no doubt attempt to deliver it at work.

Congrats! I've had two of the 17" Hi-res machines now and they both had exactly the same gap on the left hand side. Having used the first one for a couple of weeks I think it may have settled slightly. YMMV. ;)
 
I got mine but it's going back due to dead pixels and yellow tint on screen. I'm trying again with a replacement. Interestingly, in the UK they send out anything you order via crap-mail and it takes ages. However, if you get a DOA machine then they send the replacement on "Priority 1" and use a faster courier. I got this dispatch email today so it'll be interesting to see how long it takes in total with this faster courier.
 
Most people must have gotten their MBP's because this thread has really died down.

My stock 2.2GHz 15.4" with glossy screen on the other hand was:

Ordered at 9am on June 6th...
Shipped on the 16th...
Sat in Memphis on the 17th, 18th and 19th...
Finally made it to my local sort facility the morning of the 19th, but did not make the delivery truck...


I have no idea why mine has taken so long, but it should be here tomorrow. The wait will finally be over!
 
For those who received their MBP and live in the US, how long did it take for your order to ship? I placed my order around 11:30am yesterday, its a base model MBP with no upgrades. The status is still "Not Yet Shipped". My free Ipod Nano on the other hand has shipped (from China) and should be here by Thursday.

I ordered mine at 2:16 PM (CST) on Saturday the 16th of June.
It Shipped Last night at about 11:00 PM (CST)
So about 57 Hours difference.
I expect it to be in Anchorage at 9:00 PM (CST) tonight (or 6:00 PM Anchorage Time) Which means it might have a chance to make another flight to Memphis, TN.
Depending on if it makes a flight to Memphis today I expect to receive it either Thursday or Friday of this week.

Two notes: I did modify mine and I did pay the extra 15$ for expedited shipping
 
my status

Ordered mine on 6/15, only upgrade on the 2.2ghz machine was to a 160gb drive. (Otherwise I could have picked one up at the Apple store)

It will ship out between 6/20 - 6/22. It will arrive between 6/22-6/27. What a drag. But the 27th is my bday. :)

Mine has finally shown up too. The package is beside my desk, unopened - I'm saving the unboxing experience until I get it home.

I ordered on Tuesday 5th, and I've spent much of the last two weeks finding out more than I need to know about logistics.
 
I just got mine. So far so good, I don't see any issues with it (touches wood). :) Something is clear though... I'm such a noob. I need how to do even basic stuff.

Its the same courier just on a faster service.
 
I ordered my MBP - education discount yesterday at like 8:00 at night, (after my whole, trying to buy one at an apple retail location but every where in washington is out of stcok fiasco), and I also added 2-3 day shipping for only 18 bucks, but whatever. My iPod shipped today at about 6 AM, my other 3 accessories like my case, software, and printer it says are prepared to shop today, and my MacBook Pro says it wont ship for about 1-2 more days.... Gah, the waiting!!
 
CTO order.....do they come by bike or boat?

I was just wondering how long a CTO order should take I have only made the change to a glossy screen and no other changes (2.4 model)?

I ordered it on the 5th at 8:00am- still hasn't shipped!

I am kinda getting upset, but since I don't have the case for it yet I am not freaking out.

Can anyone that ordered CTO tell me if they have recieved it yet and how long it took?




_-----------------Thanks-----------

I ordered my stock 2.2GHz (also with glossy screen) at 9am on the 6th. I still do not have it. It is at my local depot as of this morning and should be delivered tomorrow.

If you have not called Apple yet, you need to. Tell them you want to know why people who ordered after you have already gotten theirs and yours has not even shipped yet. There could have been a problem with billing and it is just not going to move forward. Sounds like something is either wrong or somebody dropped the ball.

I know what you are going through, but I should be getting mine tomorrow.

Call Apple if you haven't already.
 
I'm still waiting for mine actually.. :( Instead of buying it directly from the Apple Stores online I've pre-ordered mine from the campus reseller (8 days ago).. I wonder if the glossy display option is really slowing down the time it takes to get here.. :\
 
Mine is

MBP 17/2.4 CTO (Hi Res)

Ships by: 21/06/2007
Delivers by: 25/06/2007

Originally ordered 06/06 but I changed the order on the 12th, ship date has been constant since then.

flights from China seem to come direct to Sydney and my del add is right next to the airport so as soon as it ships, i should have it the next day.

The waiting is torture, never thought it would go all the way to the 21st for shipping (and beyond? gulp)

Still trying to be resolute until 21/7 and not waste an apple cust serv rep's time with a pointless call 'Waaah, my MBP hasn't arrived yet!', back to rubbing my lucky stone. :eek: :apple:

Welcome to the club. I love mine. It flies. You will learn the ropes very quickly. well here's to happy computing.
 
My order page says it will ship on the 20th (today :D) - but I'm wondering, if they don't ship it today will they update the order page accordingly or could it also be that they ship it later with the page never getting an update?
 
Ordered a 2.2Ghz MacBook Pro with the 160Gb HDD option and glossy screen last night! YEY! I was tempted by the 2.4Ghz model because of the 256mb vram but after the edu discount and adding in the 160gb hdd to the base model, it was still £231 pound for the extra gfx ram, and I can't justify that.

Anyone else wonder why Apple charge so much difference for this??

Now just got to wait 7 days for it to ship! oh the pain :D
