such a long time since an update on tracking status.. I'd imagine it will have to be cleared soon if it's going to be ready for tomorrow. Is conandoyle's BC bound rMBP still sitting at Mississauga as well?

Jul 21, 2012 8:52 AM In transit MISSISSAUGA, ON Package available for clearance

Sweet! Even though the online order tracking doesn't show an update, called FedEx and they confirmed the package has in fact cleared customs and I should be getting a call to pick it up this morning :D can't believe this day is here, sure hope this machine is flawless!
 
ready for ups since 7/21... when does it go on?
UPS is bad and they have a very low customer service, I wouldn't surprise about it. See mine also shipped on 21st through fedex and its on the vehicle for delivery. FedEX moved the package over the weekend and today they are delivering. UPS just keeping the package in china. UPS worst delivery service in the world. (I guess paying extra $25 is worth it

Mine is out for delivery now too. I paid the extra originally. It's just the automated system said it would be delivered wednesday. I had an experience with either Fedex or UPS years ago where the delivery was sitting locally and they wouldn't let me pick it up early and they waited until the delivery date to actually deliver it.

Now if my external USB 3 & SSD would show up so I can install Linux on it when it gets here.
 
2.3/16/256 ordered on 04/07/2012

Moved to preparing for shipment! Anyone know how long it tends to stay this way for?
 
YEEEEEEEHAAAAAAA
Finally preparing for shipment. No more these word "Processing". :p
At least not till the next new product :D :p

Ordered: July 4th
Estimated Delivery: 7th - 13th August
Hope it's gonna be this week...

Now: Waiting for the tracking no.

Hope it comes with ML

You aren't much given to hyperbole, are you? :rolleyes:

How does one empirically quantify customer service? Hence how can one say whether customer service by one delivery firm is 'very low' compared to an implied standard?

As for UPS being the worst service in the world, clearly you don't get out much. Try getting something delivered in the DRC. As in actually getting what you were sent from somewhere to the DRC. DHL might be willing to take it as far as Kinshasa, after that all bets are off. Depending on where in the bush you are, you might get your package by pygmy courier (I am not kidding about that). Their understanding of controlled climate and fragile packages is weak at best, which is understandable, given the environment they live in.

Anyway, my original point is that you cannot by any measure call UPS the worst service in the world, never mind useless.
 
Anyone else experienced this:

I just got an email from apple store;

Basically it says that apple is happy to inform me that they are able to ship earlier than anticipated. Dispatch date 8/3

However my delivery estimate was 8/3-8/10
So I figure this b**** since it means that I won't receive it 8/3 If it's not dispatched before this date :(

Has anyone received an email update from AS like this, but received the package earlier than stated in the email?

Yes I have also received the same email, my delivery estimate is between 30th-6th aug but in the email it says that it would be dispatched on 03-8
 
On FedEx Vehicle for Delivery!

Yay! My rMPB hopped on FDX 48 out of Shanghai on July 21st. (By the sounds of it, FDX 48 was full of Apple goodies). It's out for delivery now! 2.3/16/256 ordered on 28/6 with EDU discount. Original delivery estimate: 26/7-1/8.

Really, Really hope it might ship earlier..

However the email really isnt up for interpretation!

Makes me wonder if all of a sudden Apple's got their backlog of orders all sortet out...:confused:

how long does it take before edu cards and computers merge into a single package?

On FedEx Truck for delivery today... Finally time to get off this thread! :D

rMBP - 2.3/16/256 (EDU + Expedited Shipping)
Estimated Arrival: 7/28 - 8/1

Ordered: 6/28
Preparing: 7/19
Shipped: 7/20
Delivered: 7/23 to NH, USA

How long did it take for the edu app store card and the computer to be merged into a single package?

I ordered the same macbook pro, on the following day (06/29) without expedited shipping.

Ordered: 6/29
Preparing: 7/20
Shipped: 7/21
Estimated delivery: 7/31 to Milan, Italy.

Still no tracking number as they also added the 80€ app card they give you with EDU computers.
The app card and the computer still have to be merged into a single package, which means I don't have any tracking information yet, I don't even know the courier service.

How long does it usually take before the Edu app card and the computer get merged into a single package?:confused:
I can't believe it can take 10 days to deliver a computer to a major city in Europe, they say the tracking number will become available 48 hours before the actual delivery but I have a job, I don't want the delivery guy to leave a message so I have to go take it myself (I don't have a car and don't feel the need to get one).

Thank you very much:),

Sorry, I did local pick-up for my EDU Gift Card.
I was visiting my parents when I ordered my MBP and picked-up my GC from a local Apple Store so I didn't have to wait to receive it.
I only shipped the computer.

Hopefully the tracking will become active soon - you might want to give apple a call as the tracking number they gave you could be wrong.
Good luck! :)

Dangit! Still waiting for my order on the 4th (still says 3-4 weeks) and it's the 2.6/16/512. Sigh!

I'm in the exact same boat as you and we will probably be in the same shipment. I ordered on July 2nd and got my Shipped email on Saturday. I still had no tracking info or courier info and was hoping that would all come today but so far, no luck. My order is going to Stockholm so it seems European merging of card and computer is really slow. They gave me a Shipped By date of Aug. 2nd. As with yourself, I really can't believe it can take that long. The email said we should receive tracking info within 24 hours of the computer shipping so I will wait until tomorrow before calling them.
