Has your SR MBP shipped yet?

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:

How much space is saved from reinstalling without language packs? Anyone have a link discussing the advantages to doing a clean install on a new system?

I saved around 10gb, by not installing languages, printer drivers, garageband & iWeb + Some Office/Apature/iWork demo's
 
Ship already.............

I would cuss up a storm if i wouldn't just get kicked off this site---:mad:

I just check my Order status as it said yesterday that it was going to ship! But now today it says that it will ship on June 27th - 29th. So I called apple up and (they were very nice and spoke English clearly) but all they could say is that they have been backed up since the new MBP came out!

AHHHH! Give me a real answer like: well in Washington we ran out of MBP's so we sent them the current MBP's we had so that the in store customers could get their's first.

I am about to cancel my order, and go buy a DELL! HA - dell sucks!

Sorry if I have offended anyone as I vent, I just need to get this out.
 
My saga continues. After TNT tried to deliver my MBP to the wrong address on Monday, I let them know that I would not be in for delivery yesterday or today and arranged delivery for tomorrow. Checked my tracking a wee bit ago and what do I see :

Code: 
20 Jun 2007 	12:33 	Edinburgh 	Not Home On Delivery Attempt To Residential Address 
20 Jun 2007 	08:25 	Edinburgh 	Out For Delivery

I hope to god that they manage to deliver it tomorrow as they have said they will.
 
I'm getting worried now that QC on the new MBP is going to be affected by the increase in orders. Id rather deal with the delay than get a defective MBP.

Same here. This is ALL that I ordered.

EB Games- Rome Total War and Age of Empires 3

Tiger Direct- Windows XP Basic w/ SP2 and Logitech VX Revolution mouse

Apple- iPod nano 4GB with engraving and MBP 15" 2.2 Ghz with FCE and 160 GB HDD 5400 RPM

Best Buy- Targaus Blue laptop bag


Expected dates to arrive:

Already here: Targus Blue laptop bag
Tomorrow: iPod nano 4GB, must pick up from FedEX
Within 24 Hrs: Windows XP with SP2
Next Week: MBP, Rome Total War, and Age of Empires 3

No info!: Logitech VX Revolution

I'm too cheap to upgrade shipping so everything is arriving at different times. I really hate Tiger Direct's shipping method. They require you to put in your order number and other information. Then you have to actually log on to the system. Then you have to find the invoice. And finally click on the UPS or FedEX symbol.

I thought it would be shipping from China? It sure wouldn't ship from WA

Sorry I did not specify - what I was saying is that in another thread someone said that in Washington they are all out of MBP's. so I figured that apple just sent all our orders to Washington to get more in store customers.

Ordered the 7th of June, and was just told that it would ship between the 2nd and 5th of July... Can't believe that they are so insanely slow.
 
Mine was scheduled by FedEx to arrive this morning but it was delivered yesterday afternoon!

160GB Serial ATA Drive @ 7200

man, we are sad.

I hope ours turn out perfect :S *crosses fingers*

EDIT: HURRAH! - Shipped on: 21/06/2007 via TNT EXPRESS AUSTRALIA
 
My 15" SR MBP is now due to ship from Apple on the 26th of June according to the Apple Authorized Retailer in my city. (No Apple store in my area yet:( )

The unit is a CTO (glossy screen) and was ordered on June 5th at 8:30 in the morning.

No transit carrier in tracking

My MBP 17" Hi Res shipped 18th June and is due for delivery 29th June.... Still not sure why it takes 11 days to get from China!

At the moment tracking is not showing any details for the transit carrier. Will this happen when it hits the UK?

Are delivery dates accurate .... hoping that I might get it sooner!
 
I am now posting on my MBP 2.2 Glossy!

So far so good. I have no flickering in the screen, no yellow tint on the bottom either. The screen had a greenish hue all over, but after calibrating it, it looks perfect!

It took forever, but I am extremely pleased so far!

Good luck to the rest of you guys/gals still waiting for yours. I absolutely hated all the other people saying, "the wait was worth it...", but I have to agree now that I have finally gotten mine.

Good luck everyone!

I am in the same boat a you - they just keep pushing back the shipping date!

I order 20 mins. before you and the same CTO glossy (2.4Ghz).

Mine seems to be the same, a standard MBP 2.4 15" matte. Shipped on the 18th and due for delivery on the 29th. I too have no accurate shipping details / carrier and I'm in the UK.
 
shipping delays

My CTO 2.2 160gb MBP, ordered June 6 and originally scheduled to ship by Jun 20, has been pushed back to ships by Jun 28 - Jul 2. It just doesn't make sense to me.
