New iBook Ship date

DAMN, I ordered mine earlier today and my ipod shipped immediately, my iBook is still processiing and it says est. ship date the 19th
 
Thanks to this forum I ordered a 12" iBook (for college and eye candy purposes) on Sunday. :) Payed by wire and now it seems to be on it's way here. Although the tracking page doesn't make any sense to me. At all.

Does someone know what it means?

12 aug 05 32 05 Flight Booked CNSHA50
12 aug 05 86 14 booking slot obtained KN Luxemburg
11 aug 05 30 63 handover at supplier CNSHA50
11 aug 05 30 61 Consignment Booking received from supplier Apple, Shanghai
11 aug 05 00 04 Picking confirmed, EDI received CNSHA50

It appears to be in Luxemburg and Shanghai at the same time.. I've seen other trackings, but none of them look like mine? Where is it? I know I will probably receive it next week. But I'm not a very patient person. At all. So does a kind soul know where my new iCandyBook is? :)

Oh, and I take it they don't deliver on weekends?
 
Does anybody know if Fedex ships on Saturday? Because my iBook is 1 hour (driving time) away from my house and I want it with a passion.
 
fedex DOES ship on saturdays, i just got my printer today.

my iBook however, changed from "sent to manufacter" to "preparing shipment". it has been "preparing shipment" for like 4 hours though. how long does it take?
 
Ordered my 12" iBook last night and it says shipped this morning.
But when I track it at Fedex, it says "No information for the following shipments has been received by our system yet" :(

Why do you need to reinstall Tiger if you just got the computer? Do you want to cut out some of the things (like extra language support) to save space?

How much space will I be saving on my 40GB 12" iBook if I do a clean install of Tiger?
I only need English language support and don't really need all the iLife stuff except iTunes.
What if I just uninstall the ones that I don't need instead of doing a clean install of Tiger?

Nope, stock configuration.
I am going to add memory and maybe a bigger and faster hard drive myself.

Mine shipped Friday night and now is sitting in Shanghai with Shipment Exception but I'm hoping that's just because of "Package received after FedEx cutoff " when it got there on Sunday...

Hopefully it gets over here soon, it's projecting this Wednesday.

Yep. Here's my post from this very thread concerning the same story. I ordered a BTO the same day you did and supposedly I get it on Tuesday (I'm in Virginia). It sat in Shanghai for two days. Apparently FedEx doesnt update tracking on weekends; either that or its been in transit to or from Indianapolis since 3 PM on Friday-- for 48 hours. Maybe they're using a mule train.
 
So.....

I have yet to order my BTO iBook. Do you think I'm looking at a minimum of 2 weeks after placing the order to actually receive? 3 weeks, 4 weeks?

I haven't read every page of this thread, but it seems like maybe the long delays are the exception and not the rule. (I hope) :confused:
 
if you want it fast i would do overnight, maybe it will get here in a week instead of two :D

Woohoo. It updated today saying my flight left on Friday.

My iBook is on its way. The silly thing is i can track it on TNT, but not on Kuehne & Nagel. K&N gives me "Error: Delivery Note "80xxxxxxxx" is unknown! (0104)".

Is K&N not used anymore? Do they use TNT all the way or am i doing something wrong?
