It arrived at my house... but I am still at work! Here are the spec's from packagemapping.com
Distance:8448.05 miles,Time:42hrs42mins, Avg Speed:197.85mph
2-3 day shipping, apple wasn't lying!
Only 30 more minutes till I get out of work... Home is 1 mile away. I think I will make it home in about 2 min instead of the usual 5. the next 28.5 minutes are going to go by sooooo slow.
I am going to have a review up at www.pcmofo.com after I put it through some testing.
 
Just got an email from Apple stating that because of "unexpected reasons" my 17'' HR *glossy* won't be shipped until April 2...


Seriously considering getting the matte now... :|

when did you order?

anyone know what the deal is with the glossy high res 17'?

it seems a couple have shipped... but maybe they ran out or something. at any rate, there certainly seems to be something wrong there.

Ordered since the 7th and still hasn't shipped...What seems to be the average turnaround on the BTO 17inch high rez?
 
17" turnaround time

I ordered mine on the 3rd (BTO- 17" Hi-Res matte, 200gb HDD) with express shipping. It's due to ship between yesterday and the 17th. No activity thus far, however.


edit: My location is US (west coast), by the way.
 
Got mine yesterday :D (of course had no time to post before today, hehe)

Was watching the TNT-tracking site (as I guess a lot of you have done as well), and saw that it was marked as "not home" (this was at 4:10 pm). When I looked at the front door I saw a post-it from the delivery guy saying I was not home at the moment of delivery, even though I had been (and all day for that sake).

When I called them up, it was kinda back and forth for a while, but it all ended in that the girl on the phone made the delivery guy take a trip back, and this time call men when he was there. 20 minutes later he was there, yet again, this time handing over my package!

I don't even wanna think about how it would be to survive yet another day with tracking..

edit:
oo.. and btw, this was in Norway, ordered on March 1st BTO

HI,

Have you gotten it yet? I think mine may be in the same order as your's and it's been stuck in Mississauga since yesterday morning. Now waiting due to a "clearance delay". Same for your's?
 
This is the reason I decided to go to the store for my unit. Couldn't let myself to wait.

It's really too bad the store doesn't do anything other than vanilla configurations.. because the wait is gonna kill me.
 
Do you get an email when it changes from Not Shipped to something else?

I am going to stop checking the apple website daily, and just assume its coming on the back end of the delivery date. March 25th.

Maybe by the time it ships I will get the new revision! ;)

Man...i'm starting to freak out too. I even had a dream about how I got out of this crazy orgy (don't ask) and then me and the participants see a house on fire across the street, then I get out of the bedroom and discover that the beautiful 17 inch Macbook Pro I ordered was sitting on the table in my living room, charging, and its box upright on the table next to it. Although it was definately not the Mac OS, and definately wasn't Windows that was on the screen. I almost want to say it looked...Blackberry-ish. :eek:

That could be due to the Nyquil I took the night before. But, as soon as I woke up, I dove to my Macbook to check the online order page. Still hasnt shipped. :(

Update:

No tracking info on the FedEx site, but the MBP showed up. Unfortunately I wasn't at home. So I don't have it yet, but it is in town.
 
First post

I've been lurking these forums ever since I decided to buy a Macbook Pro.
I waited for them to announce the current line-up w/ the multi-touch and finally bought it last friday.

Now, the thing that's bumming me out is that the MBP just arrived into town about 2 hours ago but the Fedex tracking website says estimated delivery by March 17th by 10:30am and that it's still at the local facility.

So does this mean I have to wait til monday to actually receive it?
Anybody else gone through this same thing?

*EDIT*
nvm, just refreshed the Fedex page:
9:56 AM - On FedEx vehicle for delivery :D
