Hi everyone,

just had a chat with UK after sales, they said they would make an exception for me :)

Well, the consignment number for my Order is 6PR4378 (that was the second batch of P4S orders last thursday, so maybe you are on the same batch). It's currently in Amsterdam and I guess waiting for pickup by DHL Express.
ooh maybe!!

I have the same consignment number. It has been in Amsterdam since Saturday. Kinda odd that it says 9 pieces and the actual weight is 1857 kg :O. I hope they clear customs soon, was really hoping on a Monday delivery but I guess it's going to be tomorrow or Wednesday at best.
 
The following is what I believe to be an accurate representation of the shipping code that apple use.

Code:
if (country==USA)
   shipMBPAsQuicklyAsPossible();
else
{
   if (continent==Europe)
   {
       sleep(60*60*1000*24*10);
       do
       {
            if ((rand() % 100) > 98)
            {
                moveToPFS();
                break;
            }
            sleep(60*60*1000*24);
       } while(1);         
       sleep(60*60*1000*24);
       do
       {
            if ((rand() % 100) > 98)
            {
                moveToShippedByDonkey();
                break;
            }
            sleep(60*60*1000*24);
        } while(1);
    }
}

I expect that 7CP2824 to arrive in Amsterdam around 11am (UK time) - hopefully it doesn't stay there too long when it gets there!

maybe they packaged them (intelligently, but I highly doubt that) in per-country bulks....
 
It's not even about that I don't have my Mac yet, I mean my window is 17 nov - 24 nov.

  1. It's about that in America you can just go into any random store and pick one up.
  2. It's about the absolutely 0 communication since Thursday.

Damn it Apple. Get your act together!

Dont forget the inferior shipping. Shipped from China to US to customer in 2 days, not even a status update in the EU after 4 or more days.

It is not nice - but don't forget with Microsoft you have to wait nearly half a year in comparision to the US to get the newest Surface Pro / Book.
 
This is honestly the worst pre-order experience I've ever had. And I pre-ordered No Mans Sky.

This is coming coming close to the frustration and incompetence of some things I've backed on Kickstarter and that's saying something!

If they wanted to prioritise the first batches to the USA, then why not say so, but things really should be more "equal" now and they're clearly not.
