Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) Shipping

You know what this means?

NEW POWER MACS, IMACS, AND EMACS ON TUESDAY ALL SHIPPING WITH OS 10.4!!!

🙂 🙄 😎 😛 😀 😱 😉
 
Mine says processing order, but this is the first time I've check out my order status, so I don't know if it said anything before.
 
Once again, I would like to point out that this week Apple U.S. store changed the terminology for order status. "Processing Order," is the new term for "open."

I find it very strange that Apple has already shipped Tiger to someone. We'll going to have to see, if anyone else reports this today. I just don't see it happening. For example, I didn't pay for shipping, and they have my order at 2-day air, so I'm sure they aren't going to want to send it out until just a couple days before the 29th. Unless they decided to save on shipping and they are shipping some of the orders via ground, a week early, and if you live close to the starting point you'll get it quite a bit early.

Apple no longer uses fedex. They now use DHL - I used to supervisor AppleCare tier 1.

I ordered a .Mac box package a couple weeks ago when it was on sale and it came FedEx.
 
Well- if I don't get my Tiger by Friday, then I will sue for false advertising. If they can sue for leaked information, I can sue for that.
 
FedEx

3 years ago I ordered my first product from Apple and it was shipped "next day DHL" but living out in the woods like I do DHL doesnt deliver in this area.Needless to say it took 4-5 days to get to me via a middleman delivery service.I called Apple and griped and since then all my orders have shipped via FedEx..

🙂
 
amazon has also changed their estimated ship times. mine says i'll get it on may 4, and they tend to be conservative in how they list estimated ship/arrival times. in the past, i've gotten things from them sooner than the date they listed, so i'll have it before the 4th i'm guessing, and still with the preorder discount.

You have the right to sue any one for anything you want. It is whether or not you have a valid claim. If not you would open yourself to being countersued, so tread lightly.

My two iSights were delivered via FedEx on Tuesday (although he was driving a Ryder truck, cause his regular truck was down.)
Everything I have ever ordered from Apple has come Fedex, I hope they continue to use Fedex their tracking system is way better than UPS.

Yes, they regularly do this with software releases so they can offer free shipping, then ship ground (up to 5 days,) which is a lot cheaper. So it's fairly common for them to ship pre-orders via ground 5 business days before "release".
 
problems accessing store

For days now I have not been able to access the "My Account" or "Check Order Status" pages at the Apple store, regular and edu. Anyone else having this issue? I get a Bad Server Request page.

Safari on X.3.9

Edit: I just tried with Explorer [yuk], and it worked. ?
 
Today!!!

Just got my MacMall tracking info and I am supposed to recieve it today. It's like an early xmas gift!

Mine's gone from "Open" to "Processing Order."

Hopefully that means it'll ship today.

Me too 😛

AND
my pb 17 is due to arrive today - 3 days early -
Woo f*cking Hoo 😀
 
Looks like mine went from "Open" to "Processing Order", this doesn't really mean anything for me because it stills means that Apple hasn't shipped anything. When it changes to "Shipped" then the fun will begin.

MacMall is shipping this thing early. wow. I wonder, if I can call them and get next-day saturday delivery for April 23?

Sumsugar - What day did they ship it?
 
It was a tough call for me... pre-order online and get it first, or go to the nearest Apple Store at 6:00.

While it would be nice to get it a couple days early, I decided not to miss out on going to the Apple Store next Friday to buy it. Being a recent switcher, I want to see how it compares to standing in line at CompUSA to buy Windows 95/98/ME/XP at midnight 😀
