Maybe the the issue is what CC you order with? I ordered with AmEx as well and its been just about 4-weeks and still nothing?
I called AmEx just in case and had them pre-authorize the payment so it doesn't get held up?
i wonder what all of us waiters are going to refresh once we get shipping notice lol
anyways.. i called apple again because i was told yesterday my order should ship out today, but it didn't. I got to speak to a supervisor the rudest of the bunch i didn't call to get a compensation since i already got 25$, he kept insisting it was first come first serve and he called everyone on this site who has received the MP or a shipping notice a liar and he kept insisting that he works in apple and knows what is going on
Well, harassing the people will get you nowhere. I'm not saying you were, just a heads up.
Seattle. shipping from california.

portland is a nice town.> NO TAX!!i don't think mine is shipping tonite. it's 'prepared'.. probably won't get 'sent' until tomorrow morning tho.
that means friday ship, and monday arrival right? so much for overnight shipping. boooo
called MacMall today for the status of my order and its being shipped on friday the 15th of February and should be at my house on 18-19th of February just 1 more week for my 3.2GHz 1600fsb / (2) superdrives / (2) 500GB / 512MB 8800GT / 4GB of ram / Airport.
no love here in Texas yet. I'm not freaking out about it. I'm nesting. Basically prepping for the new baby to get here. Keeping busy by reading about it, buying it toys, sharing experiences with about it on the web with other expecting parents...
I haven't called the company to see when the stork is going to deliver... or if they can upgrade me to a faster stork for free. I haven't even called or signed on to the bank to see if the Dr. has charged for creation yet.
As for tomorrow, I may get itchy fingered and punch up the 1-800-MY APPLE in to my iPhone, but tonight I'm going to enjoy the nesting with you all.

little off topic, but one thing i was wondering,
i obviously didn't fraud or photoshop my screen captures, yet people out there were calling it bogus and fake. This kind of calls into question the validity of these so called "photo experts" and kind of makes you think twice. But i think a healthy skepticism when it comes to new products are needed though. It was just tough when all these people claimed i messed with the picture when really, all i did was crop it and blotted out stuff.
hope everyone gets their's soon! mine should be here monday!

heehee.. but u knew u were gonna face that when u were the first to claim it shipping.. and people have been waiting a month.
i'm just confused. what's the point of doing first come first serve if you're not going to follow it? This is just frustrating.
Definitely
How is someone that ordered 2-3 weeks after me getting their shipped before me?
Insane!
No doubt skagen, there were several people burning to flame you. I couldn't tell if they were going fanboy or just plain crazy on you. I felt bad for you bro.
AT LAST!!!
Prepared for Shipment!!!!!!!!
WOOOOOOOO
ordered Feb 3rd.
got $100 off this morning, with overnight shipping added free
prepared shipment tonite
not bad.
edit: my credit card has also been charged
Any chance I can bum your web order# off of you for my (very) angry call tomorrow?
The representative I spoke with tonight said that my order was bumped back in the queue because I called in a very slight change in my order two days after originally ordering. The reason I'm soo mad is because I very explicitly asked if it would bump my position and the guy said no, definitely not. Liar.
No shipping update yet and seeing as it's 10:30 PM CA time, I doubt that will happen tonight.
I ordered a stock 2.8 octo, only 8800 and wi-fi as add ons.
I am in Honolulu which may make it a bit slower.....
Ordered on 1/16.
I paid via Apple Gift cards. No, not a gift unfortunately. Paid for by myself.
Called and got upgraded shipping. May call tomorrow and specifically ask for $100. Not really that happy that people that ordered today have already shipped.

none of it makes any sense. mine is being delayed due to having them change the 320 to a 500GB. if you look on the website to customize as someone stated, it now says 7-10 days for that option. someone over there needs to get their operations in order. it just doesn't seem logical. though i will admit, that stopping the whole assembly line for a jan. order because of a part that takes 10 days to get doesn't make sense to the next guy in line, whose machine can ship today.
ultimately, apple should have been stocking up on all of the other parts going into these, so when people who have been patiently waiting, could get them in order.
...totally...random...

I honestly do not understand why the website doesn't say within 24 hours for the 8800GT yet. What is all the fuss about? They should have enough to go around, ship them all out. Why do people have to wait? It makes no sense. If a few shipped, the rest should as well.
It's probably a supply issue. Most likely the 8800 cards are still rolling in and they don't have enough to meet the demand yet, so if it is going to take a day or so longer to customize the machine, then it's getting pushed back so they can keep a steady stream of them out the door.
But alot of users added wifi, is that still a stock box? The stock store bought box doesn't have wifi, so they have to add that, or do they have boxes already with it and they just pop in the 8800GT and ship it?
Some people ordered stock boxes in early Jan with Nvidia's and still haven't shipped... It's REALLY odd.
