Still no luck on TNT... ikke funnet...
They better start looking. I'm not quite sure if shipped from originating depot actually means its on a flight. If I recall correctly usually there's a message with "flight booked" or something like that before it actually flys off. At least, that's the way it was with K&N. Kind of odd that yours actually already shows up on TNT and not on K&N.
As long as it gets there I guesserickg said:Still no luck on TNT... ikke funnet...

Well, things shipping from Arnhem to Stockholm usually only take one day (i.e. this package would have been delivered on the 9th of May in Stockholm, usually in the morning in the case of my house). So I think I might be able to shave two days off the time right there. I think I'm still in the running.
edit: TNT in Norway really does suck!

It must be the typhoon that is keeping us from our Macbooks. This is from bbc:
China's typhoon death toll rises
The typhoon caused heavy rain in Shanghai
The number of people killed in southern China by Typhoon Chanchu has risen to at least 16. The deaths happened in Guangdong and Fujian provinces, where houses were destroyed in floods and landslips. More than a million people have been taken to safety. Chanchu is the strongest typhoon on record to have hit the region during the month of May.
And from the service alerts section on the TNT website:
China 17th May 2006: Please be advised that due to typhoon "Chan Chu" in Xiamen, China all export and import flights from the 17th and 18th May are expected to be delayed. Pick up and deliveries will also be affected due to the roads affected. It is asked that escalations are held and note that systems will be updated after the weather is back to normal.
Looks like our Macbooks have delayed two days due to the typhoon. I got my shipment notification from Apple on 18th but apparently it has been shipped from Suzhou this evening. Hopefully for us europeans the Macbooks will ship directly to Europe now.

Nope none of the trackers seem to work yet, but by the looks of things with the bad weather conditions it wouldnt have made a difference if ours were shipped earlier, hopefully there will be no delay....
I think it takes about 12 hours until Apecode etc start working, but i'm not sure.....
How is everyone else tracking there MacBooks? *Links would be helpful

Many thanks for posting this. It looks like were all in the same boat (shipping get it ) so I'll keep my fingers crossed that I might see my macbook at the end of the coming week....

Finallyp?
Amazing how quick you guys recieve yours in US & CANADA.Why cant we in Europe recieve that service
MacRumorUser said:Finallyp?

Its true everyone in the US are getting there MacBooks superquick. we have to wait a while longer thanks to TNT I guess....
One question for all of those who havent recieved there's yet...Are any of you getting nervous your MacBook will be plagued with problem's? as everywhere I look I seem to see a new problem turn up, from overheating and badly applied thermal paste to graphics cards corruptions after sleeping and not to mention the whining reports....
Hopefully these are all blown out and out MacBook's will be fine,

We only hear of problems. All those with perfect macbooks never post that it's working so it's a little one sided. I'm not worried. If there's any hardware problem within the first year apple will replace/repair it, if you havent taken out optional applecare, or 3 years if you have. You usually find if the hardware is going to go wrong, it will do in the first year. I always wait to buy applecare; usually towards the end of my first year - just in case it ever goes back or swap for a different model within that first year.....

Thats the same train of thought I have, I'm covered for 3 years anyway thanks to buying via the NUS Apple Store....I plan to use the MacBook as my main machine and get rid of my iMac G5 via eBay $£$£, so long as the MacBook doesn't play up in the opening weeks,
BTW what are you using to track your MacBook? Apecode or the TNT site?

Mine shipped out the 18th but the estimated delivery-date is the 30th... I ordered mine on the day of release with upgrades on HDD and RAM - it's my first mac and I super excited!!
They are not using TNT... I don't really get it... Don't they usually use TNT??? Or they used TNT last time I bought an iPod from them any how...
I'm in Denmark btw...

Mine has now appeared on the TNT website during the last few minutes. All I did was go to the Apecode website (which didn't find it) and then clicking through to the TNT website.
Now that I can see it on the TNT website it says that the pickup date is the 21st May - so I guess it won't get picked up until tomorrow from Apple (unless it is showing AP timezone)..

I'm trying to use TNT now but it says "not found", as for Apecode the reason it doesn't work is that for us it won't work until our MacBooks hit Europe then it will track successfully,
