While I'm extremely excited, I find it quite disappointing that it'll take them from thursday till Monday to get them from China to us....
Got a tip for us?

I can see the note about merging the items but based on other people's posts here I was hoping there is a way to track the shipment...
most likely Syncreon as someone earlier said. Normally you can't track those until they have been passed onto the local delivering service.So what the hell are they using to ship these from China to Europe? On Camel backs via the Silk Road or what?!?
In your case that is defo syncreon, normally it's better to order the items separately as merging can delay the delivery process
They had their export scans etc. so I believe they're all on their way.
For others who have ordered two or more items for the same shipment...

I'm seeing a lot of COPYRIGHT FEE of some of your orders, just beneath the MacBook Pro... what is that? I don't see it in mine in the danish Apple store...

According to MacRumors, the change is indeed in effect right now: prices for the iPhone 6s (and 6s Plus), the iPhone 6 (and 6 Plus), and iPhone 5s have increased by roughly five euros for each model.
On the other hand, the iPad Pro, iPad Air 2, iPad Air, iPad mini 4, and iPad mini 2 have increased by eight euros each. These price increases are new for 2016, and are compared against the Dec. 31 prices listed online, at Apple’s website.
The website explains:
The price increases are in line with Germany’s new copyright levies that manufacturers and importers must charge on purchases of recordable media devices. Reduced rates apply for Bitkom members, including Apple, in the amount of 5 euros for mobile phones and 7 euros for tablets. Non-members are required to charge fees of up to 6.25 euros per mobile phone and 8.75 euros per tablet
This was in 2016 but is still in effect...
that's german burocracy at it's finest... old laws, never gonna change... ;-)

A German fee for personal copying. (in other words, more regulatory tax
)
They have that here in Switzerland. Its applied to all consumer goods that can display media to remimburce rights holders. The upside is thats its legal to download movies and shows here.
that's one of the things that really annoy me. i want to watch stuff in their original language (mostly english) sometimes lol.
whats your order status and delivery window?i think apple noticed those angry comments here at macrumors after macs were shipped to US and just forwarded some data to shipment companies to calm you down
nothing serious is happening
yeah i mean you saw how long it took them to sort out the music copyright on youtube in Germany.. rather old-fashioned methinks.
Yes, there is always that little something special way of doing stuff... you know... special... ;-)
"Edit: I might have had a misunderstanding with a friend of mine. I understood these would be for sale as well but it might be only display models... somebody else called the appel store and they told him they would only have stock mid-december..."
