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?

You'll probably get it before then, but if it's past 2 days contact Apple. They will refund your 2 day shipping fee.
 
My Macbook Pro is finally in my home state! It is on its way to its final "local FedEx facility" or at least has been since 8:00AM -- maybe I will get this thing today? Do they deliver on Saturdays?

Fedex does not deliver on Saturdays unless it is an overnight/next day (express) package. You won't be getting it delivered till Tuesday.

we wait and wait and wait.....

mine's not even "preparing to ship" yet - longer it drags on more I think I should cancel and wait till Leopard is out.
 
Not all international FedEX planes, some. Most FedEX overseas flights originate & return to Memphis.

Good point. I've just checked my order status. My ipod has reached Memphis this morning. However my macbook pro is still sleeping in China.
 
My MBP is en-route from Shanghai, it arrived in Mississauga Ont. Friday afternoon and is now showing as 'Clearance delayed'. I suspect that the Customs office closed up Friday afternoon for the long weekend.

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.

As of today it is "Prepared for Shippment". I will change the "ship to" to CA instead of FL now.

edit: I just received notification that it got shipped.

Mine's here!

Well mine said it would be delivered tomorrow (I figure cuz of the holiday) but it is here today! Unfortunately, they tried to deliver it right after I left for work so I missed them. At least I can go pick it up at the FedEx place today!
 
Yes I did. 2-day Fedex

Tracking says 6th of Sept by 10:30 am

let's see.

Just got off the phone with Apple Customer Care. It is apparenty a big deal to change the shipping address , when it is already shipped. I spoke to a CSR and then to a CS Manager. they wanted to verify the ship to address via a credit card. I guess their verification method is poor and they do not take the risk of shipping $2K somewhere else than the address typed in the order form.

The sad thing ( which I do not understand) is that the delivery will DELAY 1 to 2 days. I guess their system is not capable of informing FEDEX for change of address on time and/or someone is bored to make a phone call to a FEDEX CSR. Unbelievable!! The laptop has not even reached Alaska and the HUB in Memphis, and they say that thy are going to let the shippment reach FL and then reroute it to CA. And I thought that Apple is a consumer products enterprise...

Poor logistics department and even worst supply chain. Congrats Apple!
 
Apple say that my macbook pro will arrive on the 13th now...

But apecode says it will be here tomorrow! I wonder which is more reliable.

I know which I want it to be!
 
You have it all wrong. You have to remember that when these shipments leave China, they are on pallets & placed into containers. There are hundreds if not thousands shipping at one time, there is no way in he!! that they can take the time to separate out the entire shipment to find your package. It will leave China pass through Anchorage and then usually on to Indianapolis where the containers are then emptied and the packages are sorted to be forwarded on to the final destination. The first chance that they can intervene would be Indianapolis. I think that Indianapolis is for the eastern part of the US, it could be that for the western part of the US they actually might go into a location further towards the west coast which could explain the further delay. You wanted it in FL originally and now you are requesting CA. Not FedEX's fault.
