Can't be much help here, but is it possible that it's a product they stock in the UK and it therefore doesn't need to ship from outside the country?
Got a tip for us?

Perhaps... although it shipped last tuesday and said en route to destination country for the past few days.
It would have shipped in 3 days if i'd have ordered the mini dvi adapter separately
Mine has gone off exception... looks like we are all together, most of our times are within 30 min

It's a confusing system... I think we'd all be somewhat in the dark without the experience of others that have posted here. Of course most of these will be Macbooks coming straight from manufacturing, so I'm guessing it's entirely different for other products.
Looks like we've departed NL:

Am I right in thinking that it'll fly to Germany tonight then on to the UK for delivery tomorrow? Both Apple and UPS are now showing tomorrow for delivery on mine...
Same here, both systems are telling me it will be delivered tomorrow!. Finally some good news. One more sleep.
Well I'm ordering a white macbook, could they be coming straight from manufacturing too? I mean they only put in a superdrive but my experience seems pretty similar to those on here, just that my macbook is coming a bit earlier.
Its hard being patient
I ordered a MBP as well just the standard 2.4 model on the 18th. It's still says that it hasn't shipped. It has to go to Holland (near Apeldoorn ). So I'm a bit jealous of some people that already have been shipped.
). So I'm a bit jealous of some people that already have been shipped.Thanks, sorry just meant MH01 who I think might shipped a day or two before me. Can't track mine at the moment.
Mine shipped the same day as those who are expecting theirs tomorrow but I without a tracking number I've no way of knowing if mine is likely to arrive as well.
I wonder if the iPod/printer that's to be merged in transit will mean a day or so delay. I hope not. I'm sick of waiting. There's only so many times I can scour through this thread looking for hope and information.

I ordered on the 16th and mine is stating: " Available for Final Delivery to Customer" and the delivery date is the 28th. Can't wait. There's been so much negativity on the forums I really hope my new MacBook Pro 2.53 proves them all wrong! Fingers crossed anyway!
Wish it was this simple! shipped on the 24 and still no tracking number and dont no whether it will be UPS or TNT!
Thanks for that I will give them a ring tomorrow, don't know if they are open now.
Rang apple and they said they have no idea. Cant tell me until it gets to the UK. And they keep saying that it will def be here on or before the 4th nov!!!!!!!
Ok so I just got off the phone to apple. I was put through to a U.S. call center.
The lady I spoke to was very very helpful
My order consists of 6 items which all have to merge (merge in transit) at the apple depot in hinkley, leicestershire.
She checked her system to say that 5 of the 6 are there and that it is the ipod nano that is holding up the order and that when that arrives it will all be shipped out.
She wasn't able to tell me where the ipod was and how long this would all take but that she expected everything to be delivered before the 1st Nov.
Two points - 1) this should be on apple website, 2) How much more expensive is it to post out an ipod later rather than delay the whole order.
Anyway I feel a lot better now. When TNT or UPS pick up from apple depot I will get a tracking number to follow it.
Still don't know why I never got tracking through Europe like others did but never mind.

I was talking to Apple Denmark earlier, they told me that UPS made some mistakes with alot of the deliveries so they requested an address update for me and after that i had an exception for a while. Might be UPS updating some address info om some of the shipments.
UPS sent my package to delivery in Netherlands.. and i live 750 km away, in Denmark
Anyways, they fixed it now, so should get it tomorrow according to UPS.

I just tried the same thing and got an equally helpful girl called Kimberly. My stuff is due to merge on Wednesday at the Apple Hinckley Depot in Leicestershire and the current estimated delivery date is Friday 31st. I should be getting a UPS tracking number on Wednesday once the items have merged.
At least I now know I won't be getting it for another few days yet.
I've just had a look and apparently UPS has a depot the other side of the Thames from me, only a 10 minute drive from here. Maybe if they merge it in time then they can deliver it to me on Thursday or maybe I could go pick it up. I just tried the same thing and got an equally helpful girl called Kimberly.

Glad you were successful. You must be as relieved as I am that you finally know what is going on.
I live in warwickshire so I am hoping that as that is not far from Hinkley that I will get it by the end of the week
May I ask what you are waiting to merge? I am hoping that the nano doesn't hold things up for too long!
