Ok so I thought I
put the spreadsheet to some good use.
First I filtered out all the entries that haven't been updated since a week and all the 768GB orders (they mess up the data
😛 )
Then I sorted them on
1 Estimated Delivery date
2 Shipped?
3 Orderdate
And it is really clear that (apart from the sporadic lucky dude) almost all orders with expected delivery of July 12 have been shipped or preparing and they are half way through the July 13 orders.
There are only 3 July 14 orders in the spreadsheet, all are not preparing yet. July 15 doesn't exist (sunday).
From the 15 orders with Estimated delivery on July 16 only one is Shipped and one is in processing.
I bet tomorrow (if our chinese friends work tomorrow) we will see the last July 13 orders and the quite some July 16 orders getting prepared/shipped!
Woohooo
😀
Conclusion: Apple ships by "estimated delivery" not by order date.
