Seriously, I know forums are a place where complaints are gathered, but the amount of rubbish quality control i've heard about regarding a £1799 laptop (base model) is outright shocking. If anything other than perfection turns up at my doorstep it's getting U-Turned back to Apple for a refund.

Keep your hissy fits to yourself man

My iPhone ran out of juice after calling Apple. There are also some scratches and the gasket around the screen is not even straight. Getting a replacement and a free SuperDrive. :)

Awesome! Your replacement better be perfect! I just finally opened mine and I'm so happy :D Everything is perfect! I just don't know what screen it is yet but no black light bleeding and white is white as hell!
 
A few pages back someone posted flight numbers and I looked for departures from Shanghai for today and it was the only one.

it's shipping standard, even though i was told i was given 2-3 day shipping. kind of bummed since my estimated delivery date is now the 20th and i leave for college on the 19th and the most apple customer service could say was "i'm so sorry"
 
I'm curious as to how long all of your orders have stayed in the preparing to ship stage and then jumped to shipped?
 
For those of you getting theirs on Friday, the plane is about to land from Shanghai in Memphis. There's 20 minutes or so left until they land in Tennesee. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1345093302.713439.jpg
