Package data transmitted to FedEx
Mine arrived at 9:30 this morning. I had called FedEx and they told me it was another stop beyond what the website said-- apparently there was "maintenance" on theFedEx web site over the weekend; thus no updates. So: I ordered a BTO on 5 August. It was "shipped" on 9 August, but actually sat in Shanghai at the FedEx depo for 47 hours. It was in Anchorage on the 11th (Thursday), and "in transit on Friday-Sat Sunday; finally delivered on the 15th. All of this was with "two day shipping." Apparently that will be refunded by Apple. It arrived in perfect condition; battery charged and ready to go. 
DEAR GOD, my iBook has been sitting in shanghai for 2 days not being shipped! It says "Shipping exception", so i called FedEx and they said that it was due to bad weather, I cant complain though, apparently they are getting me 2-3 air shipping when I paid for 5 day. They say its going to ship tommorow. It had better
*UPDATE*
It shipped out of Shanghai and went to Anchorage today.
4:16 PM

What exactly does this mean? So it departed anchorage BEFORE it arrived? or did it depart and they just proccessed the arrival scan AFTER departure?

Ordered stock configuration 12" iBook on Friday 8/12 at 8:00 PM, FedEx delivered it at 9:30 this morning. WOW, thats FAST!
This cute lil thing is sweeet, no dead pixel or nothing.
Right away I did an "erase and install" but then realized it didn't save any HD space at all.
I don't use iLife stuff except iTunes, should I delete them to gain some space in my 37GB HD?

GOD DAMMIT! So now it left anchorage and landed in INDIANAPOLIS an hour ago? WHY THE HELL IS IT GOING THERE?! I live in Utah, I dont see why in God's name it cant just ship to utah directly, saving me a whole day or two. Damn you fedex (shakes fist), Damn you

I'm having the same trouble, get the same Error message on the K+N Apecode thing. Maybe it takes a wee while before K+N show tracking data, I only ordered mine in the evening of Friday 26.
TNT on the other hand say:

27 Aug 2005 12:06 Suzhou Consignment Received At Transit PointIt baffles me as to how TNT know more about the shipment than K+N, when TNT only do the final part of the delivery.
I also ordered a Wireless mouse seperate from the iBook. That isn't even showing up on TNT. Ahhhhh, if only these trackers didn't exist they just get you all hopeful and paranoid etc.
hey jboy161, looks like mine could be in the same shipment to UK....

I'm just trying to guesstimate the delivery date as Apple's estimate of 6-7days seems a bit steep.
Do you mind posting when your's finally arrives???
Cheers

Unfortunately it isn't, I got shipping notification on Friday 19th August on an order placed on the 11th. According to the tracking info it should arrive today. I agree that Apple should be able to manage a faster turnaround but doesn't seem that they can!
i recieved my ibook a couple of weeks ago and the screen was broke, i found that they officially use the same screen for both the ibook and pbook 12" on the applecare service details there was replce lcd panel service description and it used part # 646-0236 DISPLAY 12.1 XGA, PB, Samsung which is kind of interesting i know it is not the most relevant, but some people just ache for the little details and i thought this info would be helpful
Boo - I checked the TNT website this morning and it said my iBook is 'out for delivery'. I phoned them up and the woman on the phone said it had been loaded onto a vehicle this morning that was currently out, but then said that my ETA is Monday so I won't get it before then.
On Monday it will be exactly 2 weeks since I ordered it!!! (12 inch, with 60 Gb hard drive)

Both my ipod and ibook (only spent 1 day in china after shipping) should be here on monday (19th)
odd thing is from alaska they sent my ibook to memphis? I'd think fed-ex would be smarter to kow calgary is closer to alaska than tenn. is to calgary...
Ipod made it to canada though... ground shipping from vancouver though... blah

Memphis is FedEx' main hub... if the package goes on a plane, it's almost certainly going to go to Memphis. They don't do a whole lot of flights between two cities where one of them isn't Memphis, hence the "detour" down South.galstaph said:Both my ipod and ibook (only spent 1 day in china after shipping) should be here on monday (19th)

Fedex. Not the brightest. TRUST ME. >.<
Bought an iPod from Onizuka, was supposed to land on Saturday (He paid for 3 day air shipping since hes a cool guy) and they said it was delivered on Saturday at 12:16 PM. Funny thing is, I get home, no iPod. Freak out, fall asleep from freaking out, wake up to my brother handing me a Fedex box, open it up, and theres my iPod. >.<'
Bad apple
Just entered into my second round of waiting for an ibook.
The first one I got had bad scrambled memory - DOA.
So instead of shipping me out a new one straight away Apple gave me a refund and let me order again - just so I can watch over the delivery again. Yippee.
One tip though, it took me 2 weeks to work out that it was the memory that was bad (lots of crashes and kernel panics). This left me just outside the DOA '14 day limit' . After A LOT of explaining to aftersales that the memory was at faulty on delivery ie. you've supplied me with faulty goods, I got a refund. My tip is the FIRST thing you do with ANY new machine is run the hardware test disc on the machine (its now a partition on the software install disc, instructions explain all). Machines like this simply shouldn't get through quality control. One bad apple in the barrel I suppose.

Getting my fist Mac - an ibook 12" and can't wait! I'll be tracking it all the way here.
That's awesome! I know that feeling - now the torturous wait!
