You would think that someone at Apple would know for sure and be able to tell people. You would think... :confused:

If you ordered at the beginning of Jan. and still nothing to be found, call your credit card company if you haven't already. I'm too lazy to read the last coupld of pages to see if you did. Anyhow, my credit card company's "fraud prevention" kicked in and luckily I got an automated phone call. So I was able to contact both Apple and Chase and get it straightened out. If I wasn't home for the call I would've had no idea.

As of 6:22am PST, mine is "Out For Delivery". You better believe I'm IN for the day until that sucker shows up! :D:D

Call me a cynic, but every post to date that claims theirs shipped is a 'Newbie' forum user. :)

Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. Have you read your own MR user status/label/classification?

In my case my MP has shipped and I have a FedEx tracking number that works, but if it makes you feel better to think this is just a "vast geek conspiracy" then go right ahead.

For background I ordered on Jan 8th, 9:10 AM PST with 8800GT, Edu. discount, free ground shipping.

Not the case for me, and I posted this only about a dozen posts ago. I called them this morning to make sure and to pre-authorize it just in case.

I just got off the phone with them. No attempts by Apple, and there is a note on the account to put the sale through when it is processed. So that base is covered.

Same here. They said I don't need to worry, and that it'll go through no problem. The only thing left is pray to the random order picking god that Apple will select my order and ship it out.
 
You probably wouldn't want it to ship today, because even with overnight shipping you wouldn't get it until Monday and it would have to sit in the Fed Ex warehouse over the week-end. BUT, if it still doesn't ship by Feb 14th, which is the date originally quoted by Apple when I ordered on Jan 9th, I'd REALLY be upset!! Still no earlier ship date for me either. I just can't imagine what is causing the delay for some of us. :confused:
 
Anyone outside of the U.S. of A. getting their 8800's shipped? I'm in Canada and ordered on Jan. 20 and still says Not Yet Shipped. I also called Apple to support yesterday to see what was up and was given free expedited shipping. However, my original Ship Date is Feb. 20 and my new Delivery Date is Feb. 27 (it was Mar. 3). Expedited in Canada is 2-3 days, so I'm not exactly sure how they get seven days between Ships and Delivers by, but it's all good. Just curious if Apple is servicing their American consumer base first.

I went with the 3.0, 500GB, 8800, WiFi and the standard 2GB (ordered 4x2GB from OWC). As others, I've got my HDD's, RAM, FCP, etc all ready to go when the MP arrives. I'm hoping by next weekend, so I can spend our newly adopted stat holiday, "Family Day", configuring the new addition to my family. :D

While my Apple Order status hasn't changed & I've gotten no e-mail announcing shipment, I do see that today up in the day sometime my Mastercard got 2 charges from Apple; 1 for $1 (don't know what that's about), and 1 for the cost of the MacPro.

So hopefully, HOPEFULLY, will ship today.

2.8 GHz 8 core MacPro with Airport Extreme wireless card & a 1terabyte hard drive.

I was worried the larger hard drive was holding it up.

Ordered 1-8-08. Estimated ship date was 2-13-08, arrival 2-19-08.

Hope it gets on a Fed. Ex. truck & on the road today!!!

Richard.

I want to call too, but I know I'm just going to get the run around. It really seems like they lost a bunch of orders. They haven't even tried to charge my card.

I just called Apple. I opened with how I got the customer satisfaction survey before I got my Mac. They cited delays were because I had a BTO option. I replied that there were reports of others getting thier BTO options before me and that I had ordered Jan 8th (although the confirmation says 9th). I then asked if they could expedite the shipping.... and they did, free. ETA Feb 16. Saturday! Four days earlier. Lets's see. BTW they authorized my card after about 15 minutes after my order, they said they won't charge it until it ships.
 
WHY ISN"T IT SHIPPING?

it's still showing as "prepared for shipment".. since last night at 8:30pm..

how long does it need to prepare for????

Hi! First post. :)

I am super upset about this. I ordered mine three days after the show, and it still says it's not shipping until the 21st. :rolleyes: Do girls get discriminated against or something? We all know that answer.. forget I said anything. :p

I wouldn't get too upset. Are people here buying their first Mac towers? In all the years I have been ordering new towers from Apple, all the day of the introduction, I have only ever received ONE near the front of the bulk of the initial production run. In every case I ordered with non-stock components people that ordered weeks or month after me got identical machines before I did. I always swear to myself I'll just wait to order when they seem to start actually shipping but I never do and always laugh at myself when it happens. I am pretty certain Apple places all the orders in a large rotating drum and then they randomly pull out orders to fulfill them ;)

Just called and talked with Andrea and she said she had no idea about anyone getting any credits or expedited shipping and there was absolutely nothing that could be done. She said that "rumor" websites were just that...rumors....:mad:

It's my first tower... man, i've been wanting one of these for over 12 years now. :D

Still shows "Prepared for shipment" on my end.
 
She must want her whole commission LOL.

call back.. find someone else
 
Why is everyone complaining? When the thing first came out it was delayed by like 5 weeks? If you ordered before hand then you accepted the fact that you would be waiting a few weeks. I have been waiting a year for the new Mac Pro. Guess what, I'll be ordering mine when the site says "2-3" days.

Everyone else who decided to order early and wait needs to TAKE A PILL AND JUST WAIT!!!!! If you end up getting it early then good. Crying like a school kid because Jimmy got his Air Jordans before you ins't going to help anyone.

Yes, they are all just rumors, probably posted by someone from Dell or some other PC manufacturer, just to get Apple upset.

Dude, there's pics all over this thread. People have the systems in there hands. I'm not sure how much more proof you need :)

Still no change for my status.

Pictures? Where? There is not a single image of someone with a Mac Pro and a 8800 on this thread.

Can someone post a picture of their 8800 machine if they have received it?
