While my status hasn't changed the date next to it has just updated to "03 November" this doesn't look good to me.
 
...nothing has changed... I am starting to think I have ordered thin air off of carney folk...
 
I have this so far:

Shipped to OXFORDSHIRE, GB 27 Oct 2008
Estimated Delivery Date (Subject to change) 03 Nov 2008 (Subject to change)
Current Delivery Status In Transit to Customer - Shipment on Schedule 03 Nov 2008
Signed by

Shipment on Schedule 03 Nov 2008 used to say 01 Nov 2008 and then 02 Nov 2008. Looks like it is sat in a warehouse somewhere just waiting!

What was your expected delivery date on the summary page? Mine is 5th/6th Nov - even though one of the Apple reps I spoke to last week said I should get it on the 4th I think I'll be lucky if I see it on the 5th now.
 
Ooh, mine's changed to 'Delivery scheduled by final carrier, see estimated delivery date' and I've been given a tracking number. It doesn't seem to work on the TNT site yet but maybe it will turn up tomorrow after all.

Edit: Scratch that, the tracking does work (no records yet tho). *gets dangerously optimistic*
 
Lucky git, Dom.S - I've not had any change at all yet. :( I should probably warn you that you're still not guaranteed to receive the laptop tomorrow; I seem to recall earlier in the thread that someone received similar information to you one evening but it didn't get delivered the next day because of something to do with TNT having not 'scanned it in' in time, whatever that means.
 
Yeah, I get the feeling there aren't any guarantees. Still, the sooner it's out of Apple's hands, the sooner the service might actually get half decent. ;)

It's been exactly a week since it was shipped so far.

Ring TNT mate. They told me it had left the depot in Hinkley and will arrive at a local depot tonight to be delivered to Cardiff first thing tomorrow morning.

The estimated arrival date on the apple status page has also changed to tomorrow and is now back to In Transit to Customer - Shipment on Schedule
 
The tracking will say whether it's despatched or not in the morning so I'll just wait and see what happens there. It sounds pretty positive though, going by what they've told you. Fingers and toes are crossed.
 
My status changed today to "In Transit to Customer - Shipment on Schedule". Where it first said "In transit to destination country". The estimated date did change to the 6th instead of the 7th. I'd ring Apple but there Dutch customer service closes ridiciulously early.
 
Haha i've been glancing at this forum for a while like a lot of us, and its so damn addictive! It just adds to the pressure of waiting :p

i don't know what that UPS internal activity is :( damn these exceptions! it keeps alternating between UPS internal activity and on schedule for the 4th! Just changed to the former again :(. Wish apple had better shipping options to be honest!
 
Date/time ordered: 20th of Oct. at 02:14 (BST)
Original shipping estimate: 7 business days
Original delivery estimate: 6th to 7th of Nov.
Date prepared for shipment: 26th of Oct.
Date dispatched: 27th of Oct.
New delivery estimate: 3rd of Nov.

Update!! Literally in the last few minutes I've been given a TNT tracking number, and a revised delivery estimate of tomorrow... at last!
 
good luck to both of us :D mines left holland and arrived back in germany an hour ago, so if they want to get it to me tomorrow it has to be an overnight flight and processing before a morning handover! I really hope they've got it right :p
 
Mines had several exceptions! And now apparently it's gone back to a place it's already been!!! Damn UPS. The latest details:

I've now been assigned to TNT although when I rang them at around 9:30pm they didn't have any details on their system (and of course Apple were closed!). They made a manual note not to try delivering so hopefully I can get it on Weds *crosses everything*
 
I believe I remember someone earlier in the thread saying that someone at UPS told them that the UPS internal activity/exceptions on their order were part of the extra checks that get done by the system for packages worth over a certain value, and that they were routine and shouldn't cause delays.

Oh, and those of you who are posting shipping data from the 31st, thankyou thankyou thankyou, having ordered multiple items I have no idea where mine is right now, but the shipping email says it was shipped on the 31st, so I'm presuming that at least some of the trip will be on the same tortoise as you, and it's nice to have an idea where mine might possibly be.
 
us who shipped on the 31st are winners

here's hoping for what tomorrow may bring :) hopefully before or after uni though
 
Woo-hoo mine has just left Milton Keynes and is on it's way to Bicester. Should be here this morning. The only down side is I have man-flu and feel crap and the laptop is being delivered to work so I will have to go in.

Ah well, it will be worth it for a shiny new MBP!
