Shipped! 13" BTO, Netherlands

Still in China. UPS. Will arrived on the 22-23rd of Nov. (original slot was 17-24)
 
My shipping info just changed: http://jmp.sh/mW9gnP7

Not sure if it's in the Netherlands or just the shipping information was created there. Can someone read something into the screenshot?
Yeah that doesn't confirm or deny whether they are already in NL, that could just be the labels have been created awaiting the arrival from China. We need to see an actual scan in NL to confirm that
 
Haha the local credit union. It was a fair old shock to get when the £1500 I had saved wasn't enough.
Yeah, we all know that feeling on these. I had ~£3k set-aside for the maxed-out version, then realised it took £4049 to get it — AND no free-credit finance offers whatsoever (only 15% APR, FFS! ...in an age of 0.25% Bank Of England base rate!).

Not happy, but screw it, machine will at least last a few years, and I can add the £320 AppleCare on later this year...

But hey, we did all get £10 off some (already overpriced) adaptors from Apple, so back in Cupertino multi-mega-staff-pay towers, they must think that level of pricing is perfectly easy for everyone to find out of their back pocket. /moan groan. :rolleyes:

Yes, but labels are not created today for shipping a few days later. Normally labels are created just in time of packing!
 
Just managed to get into DHL....its sitting in Amsterdam...

Now why does it take a week to get to me in the UK!

Is this Apple worst case scenario?

I hope you're right!

I just need mine to go to Shipped now!
[doublepost=1479390264][/doublepost]PS - it could very well be that they are in NL already - they will be sitting in a Syncreon warehouse in NL, and DHL will have to come pick them up, and they would have received the information to say that, so that message could also mean that too.

No, it could be the Chinese label.
All the tracking says so far is that the "label was created in NL", doesn't say where the goods are...
I don't know if it does this these days, but before (few years backs), one of the UPS scans was for customs paperwork in Europe, where clearly the shipment was still in China...
 
I think MBP shipped with DHL are already in Netherlands, thoses shipped with UPS are still in China !

Mine seem to be located in Eindhoven ! Maybe tomorrow ! :)

We'll see when the first DHL scans happen. Hopefully they will ship mine using DHL this year :)
 
My dhl tracking number is already working (13" BTO MBP with TB). It says the documentation has been received in The Netherlands but I suppose the laptop is still in China. If not the 25th as delivery date has no sense!

DHL went up, they are in the Netherlands! So 23rd is worst case.

Just FYI, if they reject vans, ships and planes and CYCLE, the shipments would be in London tomorrow. No excuses for 7 days now DHL, man cracked the case!

See this tracking from 2008 that shows what I am saying:

INCHEON, KR 22/10/2008 7:41 ARRIVAL SCAN
SHANGHAI, CN 22/10/2008 5:37 DEPARTURE SCAN
APELDOORN, NL 21/10/2008 14:15 PACKAGE DATA PROCESSED BY BROKERAGE. WAITING FOR CLEARANCE
SHANGHAI, CN 21/10/2008 19:36 EXPORT SCAN
21/10/2008 19:33 HUB SCAN
21/10/2008 12:13 ORIGIN SCAN
CN 21/10/2008 1:50 BILLING INFORMATION RECEIVED

In the middle of the shipment, there is a scan in NL, doesn't mean the goods are there...
 
From my experience dealing with couriers all the time (though obviously Apple is an exception to all the rules), the label scan will indicate the origin.

I guess the departure scan will confirm.
