Mac Mini shipping delays?

[willyhunt]

Hi, my mac mini was suppose to have shipped on the 7/3 (UK Format) Its the 8th now - just. Anyway its still showing as open on the order page with a dispatch date of the 7/3. So I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing any delays with shipment of there mini?
I am going to call apple in the morning and see but just wondered.


p.s its a; 1.25, with SD and 80GB BTO.

Thanks.

My iBook was supposed to ship on or before 3/7 but as of now it is 5:08 March 7th, so I am doubtful. I wonder if delays like this are common?

It wouldn't have been so bad had I not been waiting almost 5 weeks already. I guess I am just not that lucky.

I read on here people either get their Mac mini early or later then the shipping date.

I ordered mine on Feb. 20, with an expected shipping date of Mar. 15. Still nothing 🙁

It's not just mac mini's that are delayed...

Two rather large threads on other Apple Forums.. Powerbooks, ibooks and Mini Mac's seems to be delayed, some as long as 4+ weeks. I am a switcher and am currently waiting on my first mac. It certainly is a test of patience waiting for this machine..

It's not a good first experience with Apple for some...

when i ordered my mini, they gave me one shipping date, then moved the date back about 1.5 weeks, then ended shipping it a little bit before the original ship date. it seems to be fairly random, but i think a lot of it has to do with people canceling orders as well as a change in order volume.

and fwiw, i love my new mini, and it was well worth the wait. you will be shocked at just how small it is if you have not seen one in person before. i knew the dimensions, but it's hard to imagine what that really means (it's slightly taller than a pack of matches, but shorter than a tube of chapstick for one...).
