In the US, Barclay offers 12 months free financing if paid off during that time. Do they not offer that to the UK customers?

They only offer it occasionally in the UK. Is it a permanent deal in the US?

Not sure of its permanence, it just came to importance for me recently! :) Based on the Barclayus.com website, they seem tied fairly closely to Apple, so it wouldn't surprise me if it's offered all the time. They're counting on that retroactive 25.4% interest if you fail to pay it off in 12 months! :eek:

FINALLY PREPARING FOR SHIPMENT!!!!!!!!

just happened about two minutes ago! updated the spreadsheet already and am very excited!!!

When did you order?
 
I'm convinced this thread is making the wait times worse lol I at all times have this thread and apples site open in safari. I think I just need to relax and forget I ordered it. It will come.
 
Congrats to you! Very exciting huh?

Well frankly my excitement has died down a little lol, which I actually think is good because when I get it i'll be in awe all over again.

Also, i think it is a little messed up if apple really doesn't go in the order the machines were ordered, for the same model types.

That said... I just want my computer!!!! lol :D

Also, I bought a wrapsol protective skin and a rickshaw skin.. you get any accessories to protect this puppy?

I've only ever used a zagg for my device protection needs. I have never used the wrapsol or rickshaw(never heard of that)

I will be ordering my superdrive, TB to ethernet cable and a usb 3.0 card reader on amazon soon. (i use compactflash for my photography)

and dont forget to update the spreadsheet
 
Just went to "preparing for shipment"

2.7/16/512 ordered ~11:45pm 6/11

Are we still updating the spreadsheet or is that dead?

I'm convinced my order is broken.. I have been staring at the "processing bar" for a week now..in the back of my head I'm thinking that it's bugged out and not really processing... Just sitting in forever limbo.. I would be so much happier if they just charged me for it now and put it in "preparing to ship" for another week..

2.6/16/512 ordered 7pm Tues 12th UK time (so 2pm East Coast US)

Still "Processing items" :-(

Wonder how much bearing your country has on it? I expect the US to get priority but what about everyone else? I guess it's only economical for Apple to ship full pallet loads - and being air freight I doubt they can just put an extra couple of boxes on top of a pallet so could we have to wait until they have a full pallet for the UK (in my case)? Or maybe they treat all EU orders as one and split by country once over here?

Just moved to "Preparing to ship" within the last 15 minutes...ordered base config appx 8pm CDT on June 11. Still don't see a pending charge on my Barclay Apple account. Had not added to the spreadsheet due to all the turmoil surrounding it.
 
768gb?

Has there been any comment or rumor of the bigger SSDs (768 GB) shipping to anyone? The spreadsheet says no.

I'm worried that perhaps these parts don't exist yet...

Hopefully mine also makes it into the current batch as well.
