In transit from Shanghai!

Set to arrive on March 7th by 10:30 am. That's great with me, because I won't even be back in town until the 9th!
 
It's here and man is it awesome, I made a special hour-long drive to the nearest fed-ex facility so I wouldn't have to wait on the truck. I love everything about this machine, this is my first mac and I couldn't be more impressed.

I guess this means I'm done with this thread, good luck to the rest of you.
 
just try'ed my tracking code on IEC-logistics.com and it worked with my tracking code, but i get this as result:

oFdxGuemY32482.jpg


can anyone explain what that means? can't make something of it :confused:

exactly the same here!

the only difference I can tell:
Mfst: C-34900046 yours
Mfst: C-34900047 mine

what ever this means? Maybe they are sitting next to each other?

There is also a difference in weight and pieces, maybe cause i´ve added mouse and keyboard?

on some other site, they suggested this: apple manufacture --> Kuehne & Nagel to Europe --> Flextronic (IEC) for packing everything in one box (NL) --> TNT or UPS for delivery.

so different tracking systems should work. Should! but don´t!
-Apecode used to work for me(last apple purchase), but is not anymore. At least not at this moment.
-IEC tracking shown above
-Apple orderstatus just displays "in transit..."
-TNT, UPS will work as soon as I have a valid tracking number for their system

what does manifested and VEN-EMI mean? other people get VEN-UPS... or VEN-TNT...

thanks

PS: since i am new on this forum, how can I insert a small preview picture, so that you have to press on it to enlarge it. its way to big this way
 
Don't get too excited:(
The shipping status of my order just got updated. It took them 28 hours to change from "left origin" to the next step "in transit" which both happened in Shanghai -_-

Oh no...so it will be In transit next? Damnit. Noooo...need MBP now.

Looks like it takes three hours from china to alaska. Atleast that's good?


EDIT: I cracked and called Apple. I know. :(

They said that my order is on a plane right now and left China long before and set to arrive shortly in Anchorage, Alaska. Woo.

That's great. So you should be getting it sooner than me. :)

Fedex now says it will be delivered by Mar 6th 10:30am which is actually outside the 2-3 business day window. I called Apple to complain but was told to call them back once it's delivered. Frankly, I'm not very happy about the way Apple handles the shipping.

I got March 6 as the estimated arrival date too. I will be getting it at 12:00 PM. Not too bad for me. I really wanted it this Wednesday though. This sucks. I have so much to do on Thursday that I don't think I will be able to play with it. :(

Why did it fly all the way from Anchorage to Indianapolis then back to Califorina? LOL
 
Mmmm. Mine just hit Alaska. Come to papa...

MINE TOO, maybe ours are together. My latest is "12:20 PM - Int'l shipment release - ANCHORAGE, AK"

I'm thinking either tomorrow or Thursday, what do you think? Apple says Thursday but Fedex says Friday.... (My time capsule came on apple's quoted day, a day earlier than what Fedex said)

Apple says Thursday and Fedex says Friday for me too.

I feel sorry for you, but lot of people here have said that FedEx delivered the box a day before expected. Keep your fingers crossed!

Mine landed in Alaska too at 12.18PM. There is still lot of time left for the day. I am hoping it takes the next flight today itself.

The sad thing is, the status of my order still says "In transit SHANGHAI CN":(
