Holy Crap! Just learned my order "Shipped Tonight"
So, just before hitting the sack (1:30am Eastern) I decide to hit "refresh" and i'm not kidding, the damn thing says "Shipped on: Feb 8, 2008 via FEDERAL EXPRESS." Click on the tracking link and see:
10:08 PM Package data transmitted to FedEx
Next logical move - log on to chase.com and verify any account activity - i see a pending charge in the $3,XXX range.
I really have to wonder if this had anything to do with my little call to Apple around 7:30pm-ish earlier tonight, where I was able to pay $30 to get my employee discounted purchase expedited to 2-3 day delivery?
My config:
Ordered: January 21st
Original Ship by: February 12th
Revised Delivery (from earlier tonight) February 18 to February 14th.
Now appears I might actually get it by Tuesday (2/12) or Wed (2/13) depending on when they count the first day of shipping.
**EDIT - Closer inspection of the FedEx Tracking info states: Estimated delivery Feb 12, 2008 by 7:00 PM **
Two 3.0GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeo
4GB (4x1GB)
NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT 512MB
320GB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb
One 16x SuperDrive
APPLE WIRELESS MIGHTY MOUSE
WIRELESS KEYBD/ OS X
Country Kit
Obviously, "Data being transferred to FedEx" and "Shipment picked up blah, blah, blah) are two different things, but i'll definitely be checking that Tracking info tomorrow morning and see if any progress was made.
