Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) Shipping

[Zaty]

Zaty,

Did you order from Apple online?

Yes

Edit: My order is not yet on TNT's tracking system so perhaps it hasn't been given to TNT yet. Unlike US orders, if Apple wants me to have Tiger on Friday, they have to ship it tomorrow morning.

Tiger in Stores now?

Apple preshipped Tiger to their retail stores last week so that they would be available for sale at 6pm this Friday...I'm waiting in line at the Applestore to get mine.

 

[sososowhat]

Shipping them all out tonight?

Thank you for shopping at the Apple Online Store

Apple's Online and phone Order Status services are temporarily unavailable due to a scheduled upgrade to our systems.

We apologize for any inconvenience.

Geez, do you really need to be in line already? Three days in line seems a bit extreme for an OS!

I can bet that everyone who had their order status at Preparing to Ship, had their copies ship already, earlier today, and now, they are going to update the status on the online status.

Down for Upgrades!?!

-_- I went to check the status of my order just now and when I login it says that the Apple.com Store is being upgraded... Damnit.. -_- I hope it ships tonight....

Heh. You beat me to it. I sure hope you're right. I want to start taming the new beast.

 

[Mac_Freak]

Hehehhe , those Dashboard package tracking widget would sure come in handy right about now

 

[BBFCFM]

I got TIGER!

MY TIGER CAME TODAY! I'M ON IT RIGHT NOW!























j/k.

Unavailable...

Maybe it'll say shipped soon!

I wonder, if they would consider shipping today (Tuesday), so that most would get it Thursday, and then, if there was a screw-up, there is still Friday for it to be redelivered. This would prevent people from going out on Friday, buying Tiger in stores, and then refusing/returning Apple.com order.

I just got an e-mail from Apple telling me that my order has been dispatched. The expected delivery time for it is 2-3 days. I'm in the Rep of Ireland, so were is my order be dispatched from?

We only hope. What I do not understand though, is that mine says that it will be delevered the latest on 4/28. Yet, last time I checked before the maintance it just said "Preparing Shipment". In order for it to be delvered, it would have already had to have been shipped by now.

We'll just wait and see... I think after fielding so many calls about Tiger over the past week about when it's shipping they wanted to give their customer support a lil break.

Check back in the AM maybe the system is back up... it probably buckled under all the stress. I mean imagine the normal load plus the 2million people who pre-ordered on top of that and thats allot of stuff to get going. :\

Apple wishes 2-million people pre-ordered.

Apple Order Status

Methinks something is brewing.

Apple order statis

www.apple.com/orderstatus

is currently offline undergoing "upgrades" in other words all the people who ordered Tiger are being processed and to not slow down the system with a moran like me checking the orderstatus every hour. I think in the AM (Currently 10pm CDT - Chicago Time) we will find that everything is shipping.

And I agree I hope we all get it on Thursday. I will still go to my Applestore, which is 2.5 hours away on Friday.

 

[NEENAHBOY]

Still unavailable an hour later. This is taking a long time.

 

[aussie_geek]

ready for liftoff

hahaha!!

Had to post - mine is preparing for shipment!

Any other aussie's want to confirm their order status??

[JackSYi]

So, if Apple hasn't shipped them out yet, which I doubt, I guess we will be getting them on Friday.

 

[Dalriada]

My Nokia just buzzed telling an e-mail arrived... yes Tiger just SHIPPED... Gonna be a long sleepless weekend ahead

EDIT: they mention 3 days delivery so not sure where shipped from !??

Order status for the US apple store is still down... wow thats a long upgrade

 

[JackB79]

Apple Store is closed it'll be back shortly... G5 Powerbooks? Maybe the iWalk making a debut or just new powermacs what do you think?

 

[amberashby]

Order status page is working again, but unfortunately mine still says "preparing to ship". I am very sad.
