New MacBook Pro UK Shipping Times

Long times here too, ordered yesterday but
Estimated Delivery: 11 Nov, 2008 - 12 Nov, 2008.

I have a question, I ordered the US keyboard layout. After the initial processing my order look like this:

Code: 
MBP 15.4/2.4/CTO
Z0FZ

Custom configuration
| Show Hide
2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
2GB 1066Mz DDR3 SDRAM-2x1GB
250GB Serial ATA @ 5400
SuperDrive 8X DL
Mini DisplayPort - DVI Adapter
NO VGA Adapter
No Remote
No iWork Preinstalled
No Final Cut Exp Preinstalled
No Aperture Preinstalled
No Logic Exp Preinstalled
[B]KYBD/User's Guide (Z)-LL[/B]
Country Kit-GBR

Do I have to wary about the keyboard not being "US"?

Thanks
 
Just got mine to, it looks amazing.

Strangely enough, according to UPS it havent traveled between Koln and Denmark, it just all the sudden is on the delivery truck hehe

No you don't have to worry. I have also US keyboard and I also have the (Z)-LL code. I discussed this somewhere in this forum and someone had the confirmation from Apple that this code stands for US keyboard.

cheers

Order : MBP 2.53GHz 320gb 7200rpm HD

Mine was delivered to my work address in Warrington.......

The final stint in Cologne is bit misleading. It only stayed there for so long as UPS dont like working on weekends ;)

Thanks Chic0 - very helpful. Based on that I'd say I'm looking at Tuesday delivery. I'm still in NL at the 'Out for delivery' stage. Guess it has to fly from there to Germany then to UK.

I also ordered a US keyboard and have that listed as well. We'll see what happens but I think we're stuck with the GBR keyboard since I have no documentation whatsoever from Apple that says I ordered otherwise.
 
anyone here order a 2.8 320 7200 HDD on the 14th that has got it yet? Rang apple to see what the he'll is going on and they can tell me nothing :(

Has your order shipped yet? I ordered same configuration on the 18th and mine shipped on Saturday 25th. Going by delivery time-scales on here I should have it Thursday or Friday.

When was yours shipped?

Mine was sent on the 24th but I've not got a tracking number so I don't have a clue where it is.

I think mine is traveling with yours Can7ona. Shipped on Sat 25th. I can track the printer just on the apple site with no details of carrier etc.. It updated earlier to say expected delivery Friday 31st Oct. I'm hoping it comes Thursday to Cardiff as it looks to be taking 5 days for most people. Rang apple today and they wouldn't give me a tracking number for the mbp.

Yeah sounds exactly the same... mine's going to Leics but I spend most of the week in London (@ Uni there) so I'd like to know when it's coming (31st as it says for printer & ipod or 5th/6th as it says for MBP) so I can plan where to be... need MBP now! lol!

Which printer did u go for?

On the phone to Apple this morning they said they should both arrive together on the 31st so hopefully they are correct. It still says 5th and 6th November for MBP on the status page but they must be covering themselves in case of any delay.

I ordered the HP wireless C4580
 
I ordered mine on the 16th October, it shipped on the 24th. All I know is that it is somewhere between China and me here in Warwick UK, with an estimate of the 4th Nov and apple account page telling me the 1st. Oh well...
 
Well all seems to have gone quiet since approx 6am this morning when it arrived in NL:

Anyone else in the same batch got anything newer? Trying to work out whether to stay home tomorrow or not! :D

All was quiet here too, until just now; looks like there's an 'exception' (whatever that means - but it may mean a delay according to the UPS website) which seems to be:

Same here, including the exception. Not too worried about the exception as there have been several of those over the course of the shipment. Still says delivery on 28th though. :D

Yeah extremely annoying. I don't understand why they cannot provide a tracking number just because I've ordered a printer on the same order.
 
Not a macbook pro, but apparently my assigned carrier is UK Distrubution center... and the tracking number is the same as the "Our Delivery Reference Number"
Any ideas? I guess i'll get an actual carrier soon, or maybe not since i ordered an ipod as well? Should come on the 30th...
If anyone could help me out that'd be great.
