I don't want to think about getting a dud! Thanks though - I am looking forward to delving into the world of Mac!

Yeah... sorry about even mentioning the possibility of that happening! Even thinking about getting a dud after this week of anticipation saddens me deeply.. :eek: I'm sure both of our machines will be in pristine and flawless condition! :D
 
How quickly does the tracker update - if its delivered, does it show up instantly or take a while?

Just wondering whether to go check my pidgeonhole, or wait until it tells me!!

Cheers
Ben

That really sucks! So sorry for your loss. :( I hope your replacement comes real soon and Apple pays for expedited shipping!
 
Hey guys!

I ordered my Macbook saturday 21st. The first mail said "sent by the 29th, delivered by June 7th". Should I trust this or is it gonna come any sooner? I live in Belgium.

Thanks!

Man really sorry to hear that man. Hope you don't give up on it though. It is a truly awesome machine. It is seriously fast! I didn't use to believe most people who said Safari renders faster on Intel machines. Now I can't deny it anymore..hehe..Safari is faster on my macbook than even my Dual Core Power Mac.
 
Yay! It is here. And I am typing on it now.

One thing I would say is that the screen is very nice in terms of contrast / brightness etc. But very small in size. But it is what you get if you want a small notebook.
 
Change Delivery Location

Hey, does anyone know if you can change the location of the delivery? (Ie; from home back in London to university (Cambridge)..it's just that I would rather know if anynthing is wrong with it early on before the 14days than later...:eek:
 
Sorry for posting yet more shipping info, but could really do with an informed guess at when my new Macbook will arrive.

Ordered evening of 17th. 1.8Ghz + Warranty. Originally said delivery should be 25/26th.

The ape tracker says:
FLEXTRONICS LOGISTICS UK., DAVENTRY, GB
8037179*** 000010 W79484635 1 MA254B/A 1
23 may 06 86 14 booking slot obtained CNSHA50 24 may 06
23 may 06 30 10 departed direct NLAMS07 24 may 06
23 may 06 40 69 accept scanned at EDC NLAMS07 02 jun 06
20 may 06 32 55 flight departed Kuehne & Nagel Shanghai 02 jun 06
20 may 06 32 05 Flight Booked Kuehne & Nagel Shanghai
19 may 06 30 63 handover at supplier CNSHA50 02 jun 06
19 may 06 00 04 Picking confirmed, EDI received CNSHA50
19 may 06 30 61 Consignment Booking received from supplier CNSHA50 02 jun 06

The Apple tracking website keeps jumping between 1st June and 31st May, but was very much hoping to get it tomorrow or fri/sat.

The TNT link isn't working (yet?)

Any advice would be great.

I got this info from Apple after I missed the delivery yesterday:
"If you wish to change your delivery address please contact the Apple Store on 802 00048.
In order to process your request please have the following documentation available:
• A copy of a photo I.D. (e.g. Passport or driving licence).
• A copy of a recent credit card statement or a recent utility bill."

Hope it helps :)

Mine has exactly the same status. If it is handed off to TNT today, as it should according to Flextronics' ETA, and TNT actually get it out by this evening, it should reach you by Friday at the latest (and if you're lucky by tomorrow). If we're unlucky, TNT will receive it today, but won't start moving it until tomorrow and it could take until Monday for it to arrive.

I'd say chances are we'll get it by Friday at the latest.

Isn't tomorrow a holiday in many countries? It is here in Norway at least, and I thought it was in the Netherlands too? I'm sure that TNT won't deliver here in Norway as it is a holiday, but I sure hope that my package will be shipped from NL tomorrow anyway... My shipment has the same status as yours.

If that is indeed the case, it might affect things a little. While TNT doesn't deliver on weekends, they do transport stuff (i.e. I've had things ship from Apple in the Netherlands on Friday evening and arrive Monday morning), so hopefully this also applies for holidays. Still keeping my fingers crossed for Friday. :)
 
even though my macbook is propperly in the same batch as tame, erickg and dr. leo I hope it won't ship till friday cause then I won't miss tnt's first atempt to deliver it to me! and also knowing that others aren't getting theirs while I have to be out of town working is somehow nice! :p

I'm also keeping my fingers crossed, although I fear it won't be here until early next week :(

How rude! :p ;) :D I really hope it arrives on Friday, so I can send you a private message from my brand new MacBook describing how nice it is... :p

Mine has arrived! I think everything is working ok. It's a gorgeous computer!

I'm getting sick and tired of people saying their MacBook arrived while mine is still stuck in NL! :mad: J/K... congrats on the MacBook! :D That's really great news...

I'd be pretty keen to know how accurate the estimated shipping / delivery times are too - I ordered on the 22nd for delivery to Portsmouth, UK. At the moment I'm having to use a 7-year old laptop running Windows ME and I think I'm losing the will to live...:(

Poor erickg... Mine hasn't left Pudong yet :mad: :mad: I should be angry!!

TNT: You package should come on the 29 may. If not, we will then search it. :mad: :mad: :mad:

TNT... incompetent idiots!

Well... for your sake, I hope its coming with the same speed as Monday's shipment so you'll also get it on Friday. So long as mine arrives an hour or so before yours I'll be content... :D
