It took me roughly 35 hours. But I think it depends on when they have a enough laptops ready to ship as a set. So it could take you much less time, but I believe 35ish hours is the max.
 
Well mine has now been delivered.....somewhere in the building. Now the wait for it to make it to my desk.....never been so keen to see the mail man....

Congrats! Mine's still touring east London on an ugly brown bus. :D How long can it take to get from Barking to Canary Wharf!!!!
 
For those of he who shipped on the 24th but had other stuff, we'll definitely receive by Thursday. Just a shame Apple couldn't pull their finger for an early delivery.

I hope your right 2 but how can you be so sure?

what did you order? :p
 
Hello everyone. I have enjoyed following your orders! how sad is that, i get some joy from your wait as well as mine! I am still on "Prepared", is there a way to see when it switched to that as I only noticed it when i checked yesterday morning but it could have been ages before?!

Been assured by Apple that ours will arrive no later than Thursday having shipped on the 24th. Everything's in the UK, just waiting on it being collated and sent out.

I hope you are right. Apple wouldn't give me any info on the phone.

I know its a long shot but I'm still praying for a Wednesday delivery. I'm in all day tomorrow so it would make my life a lot easier. I should be home until about 11am on Thursday but even if they were to deliver it before then, I wouldn't get to play with it all day. :(
 
It's Here!

Was signed for at 9.35 - now how do I get through the whole of today knowing that my new :apple: baby is sitting at home waiting for me?!? :D AND I am not going to be home until quite late tonight :(

Good luck to the rest of you who are waiting and I hope it is not too long.

I am sure I will see you around in other threads!

That sounds like a nasty cough you've got there. Could be flu. You should probably go home and get some rest, it would be irresponsible of you to spread flu germs amongst your coworkers.
 
woke up this morning and it was 'prepared'. Was on 'not yet' until late last night latittudehopper. Has to reach Ireland though. You?
 
I woke up yesterday morning to see that it had changed overnight, now 30 hours later it is still "prepared". A man in the US said that he thinks it will be here (Devon) by Friday... sigh... HURRY UP! How long was it for other people from prepared to shipped? what hours do they work in Shanghai!?
