You never know isalpha said:
If its in Arnhem by tomorrow/Thursday, I think there's a very good chance it'll reach you in CPH on Friday. In my previous experience with TNT, they've been able to pick it up from Apple's distribution centre in Holland in the evening and deliver it the next morning/early afternoon in Stockholm. In this case, TNT already has the package in hand, so it should be easier for them to deliver next day to CPH.
Norway on the other hand...
Edit: Just make sure that TNT has the door code to your apartment building (if applicable)... this has led to great frustration in my past (i.e. a package was "out for delivery", but never delivered because the TNT guy couldn't get in and I had to wait a whole day to get my package after much anticipation (and disappointment) during the day it was supposed to be delivered).

Should've ordered that extra mini-DVI cable, eh?
At least your flight isn't MIA like mine... Maybe my plane did crash and there's some lucky pilot geek stranded on a tropical island playing with my beautiful MacBook and eating mangos...

Henry - could you post the link through which you get this info? I have been using Apecode but it seems a lot less informative than this...
hey I was just wondering which sites you use to track your packages? so far I've only been able to track it via apecode and from the looks of it my macbook should have arrived to europe but since apple isn't using TNT but something called Flextronics Logistics I've go no idea where to continue my tracking...??
the Western zoo said:
I'm in the same boat as you. Flextronics/Kuhne and Nagel aren't updating their tracking information and it must be in Europe by now. Flextronics will hand it off to Apple's distribution centre in the Netherlands, Apple will add whatever extra products you ordered to the shipment and get TNT to pick it up, at which point it will be trackable via TNT. Unfortunately, we'll probably lose a day or so while our MacBook switches different companies' hands and sometimes I've had problems with Kuhne and Nagel where a package takes a few days to clear customs in Luxembourg.
Hope this helps!
henrybourne said:
Thanks Henry - mine is still "not found" on TNT...
I know it is on it's way, it is not even late and there are much bigger problems in the world but....
Cedd said:
The reason why Apecode is less informative is due to the fact that Kuhne and Nagel or Flextronics gives less tracking information and takes longer to update their info. For instance, Flextronics only mentions the day on which things happen and not the time... which is quite annoying I'd say. Give it a day or two and things should happen.

Apple uses TNT - at least to Norway. I have also been tracking my shipment via apecode, but when it reaches Europe TNT should take over. I ordered an iPod sleeve in addition to the MB which will be added to the package in Europe. My guess is that Flextronics packages the shipment (and adds extra products that you may have ordered in addition to the MacBook) and then sends it through TNT. Can anyone confirm this? Last time I bought anything on apple store Flextronics was marked as the sender of the package but TNT stood for delivery. It was then sent directly from the Netherlands.
If apecode shows that your shipment has reached Europe you should be able to track it at TNT (but maybe not right away - it can take some time for the tracker to be up to date...)
okay... thanks...
god damn it! should just have split that order in two and ordered the macbook by it shelf then I guess... hehe...
just seems odd that the other items will be shipped by Flextronics Logistics but only the macbook will be shipped by Kuehne + Nagel... anyhow I just hope it shows up next week or something since I'm just dying to try it out!

That's because the MB is shipped from China, and K&N only ships from China to Europe. In Europe the items will merge to one shipment and is taken over by Flextronics/TNT.the Western zoo said:okay... thanks...
