Not even close to MBP "waiting for Arrandale". That thread had to be split into 7 because it was too big.

iirc that was over 30k posts.

Wow.. Just had a great overall experience in getting my iPad from the US

Bought it off a kind Macrumors member 64gb iPad + The iPad dock and International express delivery for £525. The guy sent it to me on Wednesday and it has just been delivered to my house, I cant believe how quick the process was from Fedex. I cant wait to get home now and play with it. At work for another 3 hours.

I've just purchased the Official Apple case for £45 + £3 delivery from a UK seller on ebay and he said I'll get it Monday so shouldn't have the iPad naked for too long

Nice price, though you will probably get VAT on that as well. Was it Matthew. If it was then I was going to get one off him but got offered one here in the UK on Ebay. I was sadly let down. Matthew was very genuine.

Awaiting customs charging....

 

[Boblister]

As a bit of a diversion from all the delivery listings. I saw an interesting article for using the iPad as a DJ tool. No thats not my thing, but it might be of interest to some.

And while reading that came across another interesting tidbit. A lifetime limit on the number of iPads you can buy !!

Has your tracking updated to say that then? Yours shipped the same time as mine iirc so that gives me hope that mine will update soon.

Yes, it updated in the last hour but actually shows as being into customs at 8am this morning. I'm on holiday at the moment so don't mind the delay now!

Ahh someone else mentioned Marketplace. Sorry for my ignorance, but where is this Marketplace, I cant see it in the forums listings.
