Don't forget that September 3 is Labor Day so FedEX will not be delivering on that day.

That really does suck. I was planning on going home this weekend and picking up my laptop and now it seems I have to go another few days without it... Any way to pick it up from them before then? Cause from the way they ship things it will be in my town by saturday.
 
Mine was ordered on Aug 9 2007 and shipped on Aug 25 and received by my University yesterday (but there are some back-to-school backlogs with out shipping and receiving apparently....grrrr).

What 'week' in production does this qualify as?

Does this mean that I've sidestepped the yellow-screen issue? How can I tell?

It's a 15 inch 2.4GHz, 160GB 7200rpm, glossy SR MBP.....

I am on the same boat man. It seems like our laptops are on the same plane. Mine is not getting to my house until Tuesday either. I am looking into driving to my local fedex distibutor on Saturday to see if I can pick it up. I am still unsure how to get a hold of these people though. =/.

Is it possible to go to the fedex on saturday? If so you will just have made my day.

I'm also in this situation. I'm a little upset because I paid extra for 2-day shipping. Mine was shipped Wednesday. Now I'm not supposed to get it till Tuesday. Does that sound like 2-days to you?

Do you think Fed Ex can compensate for something like that?
 
I don't believe the clock starts ticking until the order hits the US mainland distribution facility which in many cases is Indianapolis.

I ordered my MBP, 2.2 ,15" Glossy with 160GB@5400 on early 21st of Aug, PST.

I received in my email the order ACK on 22nd of Aug.

Ships by: Aug 30- Sep 5
Delivers by Sep4 - Sep10

The problem is that I am leaving to Europe for 2 months on the 5th of Sep, morning. I have no one to receive it on my behalf.

Do you think that is going to make it ? I am considering cancelling the order.

Mine has not shipped yet.I haven't even seen a message like "prepared for shipping".
Anyone else with the same shipping-delivery dates?

I also ordered mine on the 22nd. Even if it shipped today (31st) I doubt you would get it before the 5th. I don't expect mine to ship before next week.

120GB Serial ATA Drive@5400rpm

Delivers by: Sep 10 - Sep 14
-----------------------------------
I think historically people are seeing ship dates that fall into the "Delivers by" range more than not. I paid the additional $18 for 2-Day delivery after shipment. I hoping for shipping to take place at least by the end of next week (9/7-8th). *With baited breath*

On the bright side though, I did received my .Mac box the very next day! :D

Just ordered today... with standard shipping.

Hopefully I'll get it sooner as I am in indianapolis, where is (hopefully) the first stop of all international FedEx planes.
 
That's what my 1st MBP looked like, then I returned it. however, I went to Apple store and did the yellow test on all MBP...they all appear to be yellow. I am beginning to wonder if yellow is normal.

They are not all yellow. I did my own test and most were Samsung displays that were yellowed. LG displays do not have this problem.

So it's "normal" for a Samsung to be yellow, but I think that's unacceptable.
