Mac Pro 8800gt Are Shipping!

Evidently FedEx's tracking number system 'gets on board' with some shipments later than I would've thought. Mine converted to shipped yesterday. My tracking # wasn't working late last night, but it is this morning. And what it's got to say:

Ship date 2-8-08
Estimated delivery date 2-14-08 (so much for all of them going out expediated! I originally ordered with standard shipping).

2-8-08: 4:59 p.m. - Picked up in Anaheim, CA.

5:15 p.m. - Package data transmitted to FedEx in Fullerton, CA.

6:58 p.m. - Arrived at FedEx location - Anaheim, CA.

2-9-08: 3:09 a.m. - Left origin in Anaheim, CA.

I'm thankful it's in the system & moving!

Richard.
 
Hi,

Do you think there will be a chance that soon we could buy a PC 8800GT and flash it to work in OSX ? Just like the X1900XT. Don't want to pay an extra 100e just for a ROM.
 
Good to hear most of you are showing some movement on your orders.

I don't think MP are assembled in China from your shipping milestones because I'm living in HK and shipping is still 2-3 weeks! :( If it were from China, I think I would be the first! Hahaha

Anyway, it's OK. My NEC display wont be here for another 1-2 weeks but my RAM from Transintl and HD's will arrive at my work on Monday.:D

Just a note that the store now says 7-10 days for an 8800 customized comp. I might be buying one soon then!

So if I order one now I'll get before my supposed shipping date for an order I placed almost 4 weeks ago. Awesome.
 
Pulled the trigger on mine. Only changes are 8800GT, wireless keyboard & mouse (since I already own the wired keyboard a wired Logitech Trackball).

Ships by: Feb 21 - Feb 26
Delivers by: Feb 25 - Mar 3

Yep. I just re-did mine as well and is says shipping 7-10 days. The one I placed January 15th still shows February 21st. Brilliant......
 
Somehow...

When I checked FedEx last night, the package was in TN and had a weight of 65lbs... now it's in Jacksonville, FL and the weight says 55lbs.

I guess it lost half its load somewhere around Albuquerque. :eek:
 
It really is a crap shoot when you call Apple. The lady on the phone dared me to cancel my order because I mentioned that if I placed a new order I would get it sooner. That seems smart.

You probably don't need the keyboard anyway, do you.

Erik, 10lbs isn't exactly half of 65lbs! :p

My order shows an original weight of 65lbs too. Also, no change in my FedEx status this morning - it's still says "Package Data Transmitted to FedEx" and my Apple Status says "Shipped, February 8th via FedEx"

what time did you package(or part of it lol) get to FL because last update on mine was:

3:10 AM In transit MEMPHIS, TN
 
It's agood sign really

Let's keep a cool head here. I know some people are upset now that Apple has reduced the delay on 8800GT's from 2-3 weeks to 7-10 days, but realistically, this means that they are increasingly confident about their ability to fulfill orders.

I too ordered mid January (15th) and have a ship date of Feb 21st, but I have this strong feeling that they are cranking out orders as fast as they can. I'm confident my system will ship before Feb 21 and I also was able to get overnight expedited shipping. Anyone who hasn't done so should do themselves a favor and just call and ask for it. I'm guessing my order will ship either today or Tuesday.
 
MP Delivery: Feb 11
I should get it at 9am (normal time for FedEx).. My hard drives (barracudas) from Newegg and 8GB Ram kit from OWC are arriving same day. The Samsung 226BW Monitor (#2) from Amazon arrives Tuesday and the 1500 RS APC from Amazon arrives Wed - FRI. I had to scramble to order everything last minute, but it looks like I should be ok.

PS: Thursday: Valentines Day... don't forget this, fellas.

Thanks for members advice!
