Mine hasn't either. I called Apple today and they said the SOONEST it will ship is on Monday :( (august 3rd by the latest)

Doh, I hope mine ships NLT Monday so I could have it around the 3rd or so. I'm getting pretty anxious over here for my first Mac.

On a side note, my mini still hasn't shipped yet. Weird.

UPDATE!

My iBook was listed as August 2nd, but about an hour ago it was changed from Manufacturing to Preparing Shipment, I think I can expect it to ship tomorrow afternoon. I wish I could go back and expedite it now.

I may be one of the firsts though, I ordered an old iBook July 17th, and I think I was one of the firsts to be moved to the updated iBook.
 
Seems like mine is still somewhere in China. Bit funny though... it's going back in time? First got line 1 at the tracking page, now it's at line 2... hmmm.

1.) 27 jul 2005 19:51 Suzhou Shipped From Originating Depot
2.) 27 jul 2005 11:19 Suzhou Consignment Received At Transit Point

I ordered the standard one from the UK apple store and my status is "Shipped" :D (it was sitting on 02/08 for about 24 hours then changed).

It says:



I tried that tracking number on their site but it didnt work. Am i right in thinking that its with Kuhne & Nagel in a bulk shipment thats heading to Europe/UK?

the apple tracking number the site uses will have a "W" in front of the right number. Check your receipt again.

The only number that starts with a W is the web order number. Not that I can find the order tracking facility anywhere on Apple's site myself.
 
China seems to be the Bermuda triangle of iBook shipping! It seems my book can't move and time progresses as normal


Jul 28, 2005 9:07 PM At local FedEx facility SHANGHAI CN

Jul 27, 2005 11:30 PM At local FedEx facility SHANGHAI CN

7:03 PM Package data transmitted to FedEx

WHY IS THIS SO FRUSTRATING! I WANT MY IBOOK NOW, MY POWER MAC IS LONELY!

Sorry

Stop whining people.. I paid by wire (Bibit) because I won't get me a credit card unless I really have to.

That means my BTO iBook will be shipped on 9th day or before. :rolleyes:
 
I got the stock 12 in iBook yesterday at the UTC Apple Store in San Diego/La Jolla....I asked about the 14 in version and they also seemed to have it in stock.

It is very very sweet...The screen seems a bit sharper too... :)

I think only if you paid for overnight shipping or something like that.

FedEx Home and Express are basically two seperate companies.

FedEx Home delivery does I believe deliver on Saturday.

But with FedEX Express (the overnight, 2 Day or 2-3 day delivery), they only deliver on Saturday if you pay $10 extra.

This may have changed recently. I don't ship as much as I used to and many of the shipping companies seem to be doing stuff on Saturday (my Dell 2005FPW was shipped on a Saturday).
 
My stock 14" iBook shipped this morning!

I'm excited.

It used to say Shipping August 2, but I checked my email this morning and I'll probably get it by then!
 
I called PowerMax this morning and asked when I should expect mine and got the answer of 1-3 weeks minimum. Do not expect it before Aug 8th.

I think that really stinks. I had an old one on order and on the 26th (pretty early in the morning) it got changed over to the new one. It is a BTO (60GB HD) but I mean cmon....1-3 WEEKS?
 
My status has changed to preparing shipment! It was originally supposed to ship on the 2nd of August. . .I ordered it the morning it came out (tho I was a bit late cuz I'm on the west coast). I got it BTO cuz I wanted an 80 gig hard drive. The wait times really aren't too bad!
