It is character building!
I bought the standard Mac Pro with Airport added, 2600 card on 31-01-08, shipped on 2-2-08 and I still do not have it. I ordered through Domayne (interest Free) with a 23 inch ACD. TNT have listed that the paperwork is ready to go 8-2-08, however they are waiting to get the Mac Pro from Sydney. TNT website shows that it wont be until 15-2-08. They cannot verify where it is and have advised that they will try to find it.
They have also advised that they have no reference of a 23 inch ACD. I will hold off on getting it until after the rumored 26 Feb Mac event.
Spewing this is taking so long, typical of TNT from what I have heard. Reason I didn't get the 8800 was because I wanted to get the Mac Pro as soon as possible and add the 8800 later.
Hopefully they will have some info for me tomorrow.

edit: looks like it's due friday. You were right philoye!

Just called my reseller (Streetwise in Melbourne) and my Mac Pro still hasn't shipped. I ordered on January 10. They said it could be another two weeks away!!
I also ordered from Streetwise, 19th Jan.
If it takes that much longer, It'll be the last time I order from them.
In the past I've had better experiences with Streetwise than NextByte. I went with them mainly because they give a small discount. Guess I'm paying for it now.
I just spoke to my reseller, and they assure me that the order I placed on Jan 23rd (standard config, plus 8800) shipped from Shanghai today and will probably be on my desk in 5-7 working days.
The thing is, I'm not sure I believe them. The info is so inconsistent, and I can't figure out where the 5 days comes from (can't be shipped by water, or it'd be longer, and planes are overnight). Very annoying really.
Oh, and no tracking number/mechanism.

I've never had any problems with Streetwise in the past. Although I've never pre-ordered a computer from them before. They always promptly reply to email enquiries.
I really don't think it will be another two week wait for the MP, although I guess it depends how high up the Apple popularity list they are.
The Apple AUS store now says 3 - 5 Bus Days.

D'oh!!!
Mine's not here yet. Status is "Onforwarded For Delivery." Onforwarded isn't even a real word. Looks like Monday as it's too late now for it to arrive today.

I'm in a town just north of Melbourne, not a suburb. It's the first time I've had an incorrect delivery estimate from Apple though, everything else I've had delivered has been bang on the date quoted.
GOT IT! Lightning fast, looks beautiful, everything I was hoping for (so far)! Just began the process of transferring everything and then I'm gonna put the other drive in. Put the ram in though, 10 Gigs! Sweet.
That's great news.
So if you ordered on 9th of Jan, and I ordered on 19th of Jan. That means that I should have, let me think, ....about 10 more days to wait.

Maybe not... realistically it should be 3-5 days max, but seeing as you're ordering from a reseller maybe more. Fingers crossed anyway. You'll be blown away when you get it!
