Hey, see you're in Chicago (me too). Yeah, I honestly think there may have been a bug when the store first went back up. I went in to place my order within minutes of the store coming back online, but as soon as I selected the 768 option, it changed my shipping time to 3-5 weeks. When I saw the delay, I figured there was no rush and abandoned the order. When I came back to the online store later that night, and selected the 768 drive, it only quoted me 2-3 weeks (so I ordered then). I'm wondering if initially they thought the 768 drive would take longer, and then adjusted time estimates later that day when they saw it would be sooner....but perhaps never adjusted times for those already ordered under the old estimate?

I got the 3-5 week with my original orderand almost cancelled and re-ordered on June 11th! Now I wish I had. Got to clean out and get my 2011 MBP ready to ship to its new owners.

Chicago area as well. I get that the estimates will fluctuate as they determine how high demand is. But that estimate shouldn't have a bearing on who gets their machine first. I'm in the same situation as you but went ahead with the 3-5 week wait. Soon as I saw it adjust to 2-3 week I was thinking of canceling and re-ordering but thought it's just an estimate and an earlier order would ship before a later one. Guess I was wrong lol.
 
My cMBP has been shipped yesterday and I got a tracking no. typical TNT delivery it doesn't show anything! at all....

Does anyone know when or if at all they update the status of the delivery itself or is it only when they stand at your door?

cheers

TNT seems to be a bit lazy in updates... :S UPS is much more accurate!

Hope things are on the move and arriving soon!

IMHO TNT have usually been pretty dire in general. UPS better but still slow. FedEx being the best with most up to date tracking and delivery which is super fast. Shame Apple didn't have the FedEx option for UK orders.
 
Interesting, for those tracking their shipment on the UPS or FedEx website, Newegg's tracking gives more up to date info (someone mentioned this earlier)

FedEx left vs Newegg right

Once I noticed that the ship time changed to 2-3 weeks, I chatted with a support rep, asking if I should cancel and reorder the same item. She assured me that the earlier orders would ship before the later ones.

Well at least I know I'm not alone. Any 768GB 3-5 weekers, let us know if your status changes.
 
BREAKING NEWS: A plane flying over the Romanian border has just had to make an emergency landing after a fire erupted in the belly of the plane. There have been no reported casualties but fire crews suggest the incident was started by a laptop getting too hot? In other news....

Haha, oooops! Damn why is that always happen to me! Hmm.. Guess I'll just have to order a new laptop :)
 
Fedex Flights

Hey...i tried searching the forums but need help...can someone give me those flight #s from Shang to Ancor to Memphis?

Thanks
 
Don't know who reminded me that I already updated my data and put in my ETA - but thank's a lot!

Actually, I updated your info a few minutes before you started typing that out (I was using this forum to go back and read all of the past update posts). It's funny how that worked out :)
 
Still how many june 12 to go? anyone who ordered that time?

I saw a few June 12th orders changed to preparing to ship either last night or early this morning (I think there was one a page or 2 back).

Mine is still processing (ordered around 1:00 EST; base with the memory upgrade). I have a feeling it will be any day now.

I ordered on 6/12 at 1:00 PM Central. Still processing. 2.3/16/256 with an original delivery of 7/3-7/10

I called to complain and the rep said they couldn't do anything. Then I got an email saying my order was updated to expedited shipping with expected delivery of 7/2-7/9.....that really helps =(

I have an order for about 4 hours earlier for the same that hasnt shipped.

Doesnt seem to be too much rhyme or reason to what gets shipped at times.
 
Thanks...I checked and see that direct flight to memphis departs 11pm central time. Is there any rhyme or reason as to what flight the package is put on?

What determines if you get the direct flight or the one that stops at the NORTH POLE ?

Try FDX 90 (Shanghai - Memphis) or FDX 28 (Shanghai - Anchorage)

Airport to Airport flights can be figured out here: flightaware.com/live/findflight

Yeah I ordered mine around 1:31pm EST still no movement. Its crazy that you order around 24hrs after an announcement that they say they are shipping today you end up waiting a few weeks. I guess they only had like 10 on the shelf.....

My order switched to preparing for shipment sometime mid day monday. It's been ~48 hours since then and still not shipped out.

I feel like my package was forgotten in some corner :confused:


June 12 noon

Bad joke :/

Couldnt find that in "Other news.."

But time-wise it should be around Romania now :-/

How do you except a laptop to get too hot if they are packaged and all shut down?

I dont know if I should laugh about sarcasm or worry :-/
 

Pposthoorn, two questions:

1. It looks like my entry was erased. My user ID was probably deleted by the vandal. Should I re-enter my info?

2. How is the information sorted? I'm having a difficult time using the doc because it does not appear to be sorted by order date. Wouldn't that be the logic choice?

EDIT: Nevermind, I found my entry and the sorting info. Could I request, however, that purchase date be the third sort factor? It's driving me crazy.

Would you happen to have the flight info for a flight going from Shanghai to Vegas or around Vegas? I have a intransit time of 7:44pm on June 27th shanghai time.

I'd guess you're on FDX 28 which left at 8:30PM in Shanghai for Anchorage. From there I think it flies to Memphis and then probably onto Vegas

I'm not really sure, I'd guess maybe expedited shipments get direct to Memphis, although I had standard shipping and it flew there direct. For Apple products seems like luck of the draw.

The representative I spoke to said that no Macbooks actually shipped on that date.
