Ordered: 29-Jan-08
Original "Ships By" Date: 20-Feb-08
Original "Delivers By" Date: 26-Feb-08

Shipped: 6-Feb-08
Arrived: 11am PST 7-Feb-08

I did not expedite shipping or anything. Last night at about 7pm PST I received my shipping notification e-mail message from Apple. The box was picked up at about 8pm last night, placed on the FedEx Ground truck at about 5:15am this morning, and got to me a few minutes ago.


I am so excited to be back in the Mac fold after years in the wilderness! :cool:

Congrats -

I ordered Jan 16th and my ship date is Feb 21st still :(

Enjoy the new workstation. :cool:
 
You think they might be silently skipping some orders to get to the ones with the fastest clearing payment methods first?

Get ready to be asked for photos of the 8800GT card inside the MP.

I can sense them coming already.

edit: See there was one request as I typed the original message. ;)

Hi, can you fire up your machine and let us know:

1. If it is 10.5.2? and the build number? 9C31?
2. Is the 8800GT just rippin?
3. Any issues with wake from sleep? Using UPS?

Thanks.

Of course I ordered on Jan 9th and so far nothing.

Assuming you get lucky and talk to someone with a clue - otherwise it's "your order ships when it ships"

Pretty unimpressed - this is my first apple experience as I'm a new switcher - yet it appears people who ordered after me are getting $100 off, upgraded shipping and their machine ships before my workstation does.

Just ignore the retards that feel entitled to money for NOTHING.

If you hadn't come here, you'd probably be getting your machine sooner than expected, and I bet you it's going to be one sweet machine!

So please don't feel that the fact that people are greedy ruins your Apple-experience. :) It has nothing to do with Apple or your machine really. :)

but what i'm asking is NOT to cut in line
i'm asking for a $100 refund that is given to ALL that waited (and asked for it).
and overnight shipping when it DOES ship.

i'm not saying, HEY cut me in front of all those that already bought before me. no way.. that's not right at all.
just ship mine, whenever it is MY turn.. but in the mean time, give me over night, and 100 bucks.
Click to expand...

Right. I'm not saying to cut in line and I totally understand that you can get the $100 and overnight shipping. I'm also not saying its wrong to ask. I'm just saying as for me and myself... I knew about the 3 week window and I don't see Apple having violated anything, therefore I don't feel right asking. That's all. No harm done, and Apple can keep their $100. Let them buy themselves something nice. ;)

Actually I'm not THAT ticked about it - it's just a little annoying more than anything else.

I'm just looking forward to installing photoshop on that monster and getting to work on some 600mb 4X5 scans :D
 
I checked earlier this afternoon (UK time) and it still said Not Yet Shipped - checked again now and (hurrah!) it says:

Prepared for Shipment
Estimated Shipping: 14 Feb, 2008
Estimated Delivery: 18 Feb, 2008

I originally placed my order on 8th, but they cancelled it 2 days later because of some card authorisation problem. I immediately reordered on the phone 10th Jan, and got an estimated shipping date 2 days later than my original one (12th became 14th unfortunately).

At last the wait is approaching the end. The new 1TB WD GP drive should be arriving Monday - hopefully just in time!

honestly, just call it a sick day and go home
how productive can u be anyways today?
Click to expand...

That is... extremely tempting, hah ha ha. I'll go home for lunch and see if I can get this done quickly.

I am pretty sure that someone else will beat me to it, but if I don't see anything in this thread I'll put up pix. My 1 1/2 lbs. of RAM from OWC arrived yesterday (w00t!), but in the interests of serving the public good I'll wait until later to install it. :D
 
So, I think I've refreshed my shipping status page about eight million times...still no dice.

It's almost as if ole' Steve himself is just toying with me.
 
I live in CAlif and ordered on Jan 9th around 1AM this config:

Two 2.8GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeo
2GB (2x1GB)
NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT 512MB
500GB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb
500GB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb
Two 16x SuperDrives
AirPort Extreme Card (Wi-Fi)
IWORK -08
APPLE WIRELESS MIGHTY MOUSE
WIRELESS KEYBD/ OS X
Country Kit

Shipping date is 02/14 with delivery 02/18

I called and asked for next day delivery instead and I was expecting to pay extra for it, but it was upgraded to next day for free! So, I wanted to let everyone know that Apple will upgrade the shipping for free if you call. I didn't express any dissatisfaction in the shipping time, etc., but I didn't want my computer to sit around Fed Ex over the week-end because they don't deliver on the week-ends. It has now been changed to:

Ships by: Feb 14
Delivers by: Feb 15

But, of course, I'm hoping for an earlier date just like everyone else.;)
 
Somewhere their order db must have been screwed up. I did not upgrade the HDD, so that can't be a reason for the delay like some are saying. I will give them a call today.

Order Date: Jan 18, 2008
Ships by: Feb 26
Delivers by: Mar 3
 
At least the impending shipping of the 8800-machines gives me some incentive to clean up my studio and make room for the new machine :)
 
Just called again. A lady named Tara Lee or something helped me and gave me $50 off. Not as much as what some people are getting, but hell, I'm happy. :cool:

True. I've now ordered a new office chair, 8GB of RAM from OWC, a new monitor, two 500GB Barracudas from Newegg... and an APC will be on order next week.

Just waiting for some form of status that my MP is being packaged or anything other than "not yet shipped".

Hey Erik, are you going to run 10GB mixed or 8GB matched RAM on your machine?

I ordered 4X2 GB from OWC and figured I'd just run the paired quad and sell the 2x1 Apple RAM for what OWC is buying them for $55.
 
I'm in Kansas City, MO and still no change on my order... so I don't think Apple hates Florida... haha.

I did order the airport express card though... so maybe that's it?
2.8 quad, 8800gt, 500gb, 2gb, wifi, iWork.

Ordered Jan 16. Set to ship Feb 20, deliver by 26th.

Why wouldn't you run 10? I thought it was fine as long as you have the 4 2gig's placed right? Asking before I definitely plan to run 10, as that to me is better than 8..
