Same here, Ordered 17" Hires Matt, 27th. EDT on or before 14th. I can not get any tracking details at all. Called Apple Yestereday, and they don't seem to have a clue either. It seams some people are almost able to get the van drivers name and hair color while others get zip.

I've order the exact same specs MBP on the 27th, and after ringing them many times, they really don't have a clue. They said my estimate was for Sunday 16th (thanks for the insight, I can read it too you know!), but it was more likely to arrive on the Monday. No tracking info whatsoever, or any explanations as to the apparent delay. Not to mention that my order was placed on 'priority', after they f***ed it up by duplicating it and charging me for 2 laptops!

I'm getting really peeved off by they way that they give no priority at all for the UK. We don't even get the choice for a faster delivery service. I'm sure most people wouldn't mind paying a bit extra for shipping if it meant a speedy arrival (as opposed to 3 weeks - at least!) :mad:

Ouch! Tell them it made you go overdrawn and you incured bank charges. Free Apple remote please;)

Okay, I may may some good news for you. Goto
http://cgi.tnt.co.uk/trackntrace/trackntrace.asp

Enter your delivery reference number that starts with 80*. Then make sure you select the "Customer reference" option below it. Then click the track button.

Worked for me:D

No specific delivery time but at least I know it's in the system. Will be ringing TNT shorty.

EDIT: Just rang TNT. They say it will be arriving Tomorrow....2 days early:D

Thanks v. much for this, unfortunately it didn't work for me, apparently "No consignments matched your search criteria" :eek:

At least I got some good news, my status now seems to have been updated to being back "on schedule". I hope it comes on Friday, though I'm not holding my breath!
 
:rolleyes:

Any news is better than no news IMHO.

How about the following link. This link gives much more detailed info (Incl. Van drivers hair color).

http://www.tnt.com/webtracker/tracker.do?navigation=1&respLang=en&respCountry=GB&genericSiteIdent=

Again select the Customer reference number option.

The other option would be to try the UPS web site.
 
Hey guys.

Mine still hasn't arrived at NL i guess. Though my incase sleeve has and is waiting to merge with the MBP.

This is the correct site for tracking TNT deliveries. MBPs should come from Shanghai to TNT's Arnhem Hub (Netherlands) road freight terminal. They go via air cargo between China and Europe but then get moved by road between Arnhem and everywhere else. I don't think that you will see any scan updates between Arnhem and your local depot.

Not sure how the UPS setup works.
 
Apple told me mine would come Monday. It came Monday. I'm in the UK and could not track it.

I can't begin to tell you what a beautiful machine it is, I am blown away!
The screen is fantastic and the speed amazing. I am just gobsmacked.
Annoyingly I have a job on now and can't just play but can't wait to see how fast it renders compared to dear old Ti.
Plus it's very, very quiet. I always know when Ti is on but this one is so silent it's amazing!

Hold hard chaps it's worth the wait!
 
Mine just delivered!

Ordered on the 4th
Shipped on the 7th
Picked up on the 9th
arrive on the 12th

my estimate was 14th - 17th

The tracking is to be honest useless.
 
Also waiting for my MBP to be delivered.

It was sent on the 10th of March, somewhere around 1700 (GMT+1), and the tracking status hasn't changed ever since. Estimated delivery, 19/20 March but I can't imagine it takes them so much time to get a laptop from Shanghai to me...

I live in the Netherlands, quite close to Arnhem, so I expect it to be delivered shortly after it arrives there to be merged with my 'Incase Sleeve'.

Can't wait any longer really, I ordered it on the 26th, right after the store came back up, but because of the wire transfer payment it took until the 28th before my order was finally processed. :eek:
 
Today was the earliest mine was supposed to ship... and I think it almost did. But I had a call from the fraud office at my bank saying that they stopped a payment because it was unusually large for me and they needed to check it out :mad:

After confirming that I did want to spend my money, I am hoping that it will ship tomorrow at the latest and that Apple wont punish me for having a thorough bank :( :rolleyes:
 
It's official Christmas is now the 12th of March:D

My first MBP arrived today, 2 days early:D

2.6Ghz Penryn
17" Hi-Res Screen

200GB 7200

Got few extras while I was waiting;)
Sonnet 21 in 1 Expresscard Card Reader

Spyder3 Screen Calibrator (arriving tomorrow)

Replaces a 4 year old Alienware 51m laptop :eek:
16.1" 1600x1200
3.4Ghz P4 with 2GB Mem 60GB HD
128MB ATI 9700

I now have an ups tracking number. This is what i can see:

Package Progress
Location Date Local Time Description
EINDHOVEN, BEST,
NL 03/12/2008 6:21 P.M. EXPORT SCAN
NL 03/12/2008 9:10 A.M. BILLING INFORMATION RECEIVED
 
I have been waiting patiently for mine to arrive now (UK)

shipped 7th march

My on-line apple tracking says that delivery will be before the 20th, however I have had a e-mail saying before the 18th. I rang Apple and they apologised for the delay and said it could be there by tomorrow.

Just called TNT and the number isn't in their system so I guess it will be Monday :(

Does anyone know if Apple use anyone else in the UK other than TNT?

This is killing me at the moment, although its great timing with the bank holiday coming up !! :D:D
 
order placed 27th Feb
Shipped 5th March
Original estimated delivery 18th :(
But actually received it an hour ago :D

Only got TNT reference number today (day of delivery) - useful :rolleyes:
 
Hey guys!

Well, like a lot of you I have been waiting without any tracking details for about a week now.

Anyway, my shipping details on the Apple Store site said 20th March (on schedule, suject to change)... I had no details of tracking numbers or carrier.... Untill today when I checked it said est. shipping 14th March (TODAY) and gave me tracking info! So I went to the TNT site and entered my info and aparently it left Heathrow this morning and is en-route to delivery!

Fantastic!

Except that I am going away this weekend at around lunchtime today, as I had planned the trip around my laptop arriving next week. Bummer! I am still gunna have to wait a couple of days to enjoy my new lappy! No point in bringing it with me if it turns up before I leave as I will need to load it with a whole bunch of stuff.

So I wish they had been more accurate in the first place, but at least they are almost an entire week early!

Danny


.... hmmm if they turn up within the hour I may be able to open it up before I leave..... im waiting by the front door anxiously!
 
My shipment status has been updated today to state "Assigned Carrier: UK DISTRIBUTION CENTER".

I'm assuming that means it's in the UK now. The estimated delivery date is "14 Mar 2008 (Subject to change)". I don't think so. :rolleyes:

Anybody here who has theirs able to tell me how long it took to deliver from the date the Assigned Carrier was updated to "UK DISTRIBUTION CENTER"?

Mine was just updated to UK DISTRIBUTION CENTER as well, though my estimate date is listed as 12 March...?

still cannot trace my ref. no through TNT

it looks liek it's going to be monday for sure now :(
 
Hmmm, they've kept me waiting all day today, but still no MBP.

This morning, when I checked my Shipment Status, it showed Kuehne & Nagel as my assigned carrier and said it would be delivered today (instead of March 19th). So I've been waiting all day for my little present to come, but it still hasn't.

Instead, the estimated delivery date has just changed from the 14th to the 17th, with a new tracking number and UPS as assigned carrier.

Since it's 1900, and UPS doesn't deliver on saturdays, I guess I'll have to wait until monday... still 2 days early, but the fact that they kept me waiting all day just s*cks... :mad:

Edit: And it changed again, now it says NL Distribution Center! Please let the next change be TNT as carrier, since they DO deliver on saturdays!
 
My TNT tracking number is functioning now. It was last tracked in Nuneaton.

I s'pose it'll just sit there all weekend now. Damn them.
