I've been waiting for mine to arrive for weeks. God it's annoying. Should be here either on tuesday or wednesday though.
 
Yes most of us who are still on this thread will get it next week :)
Time passes so slow dont it ?

You're in Edinburgh huh, I'm in Dundee. Which one do you think will arrive first? And yes, time passes horribly slowly, especially since I don't know where the package is, where it shipped from or how it's being shipped, or indeed why it's taking SO LONG.
 
Tues/Weds

Yep, think you're right. I've received confirmation that its started the shipping process so will be with us by Wed (poss tues) if it doesn't get held up.

Hope I don't end up resenting it when it finally does arrive!!

Possibly the longest time I've had to wait for what is supposed to be an 'available' or in stock product. Don't want to sound impatient but really!

Hum! Close call ;)

I agree a 100%
 
ordered Oct 31

Status 'Not yet shipped'

Estimated Shipping: 7- 10 business days
Estimated Delivery: 19 Nov, 2008 - 25 Nov, 2008

:(

I could cope with the delay but reading all the stories about 'f' keys, dust in the display, dents etc has me almost dreading the arrival of my new machine!

Here's hoping that those with problems are in the minority and are just (with good reason) very vocal about it!

I certainly hope it is a minority, if mine arrives damaged, I'm going to be so angry I think I might cry. Why can't they just use good shipping companies?
 
Did all of you who are still waiting customise your mbp, or order one of the default/standard models?

Hate to say this (as I don't want to torture you guys!) but I ordered mine yesterday (std model) and received it today :apple: :cool: :)

(Hope I didn't jump the que :eek:)

I find that very hard to believe. The UK site still quotes 5 business days for the standard MBP. Are you on drugs or did you hibernate or something?

Yeahp, were all customised and even for some of us weve got ipods or printers comin' with them too!
But I still find youre statement hard to belive... (unless they're building up a stock directly in the UK...)
 
Wow I must be the lucky one then!

Here it is:

If you don't believe that I didn't have one yesterday see the thread I posted on Wednesday when I asked about whether I ought to get one or not: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/595091/
 
Just a little update, I'm not sure what any of this means maybe you can help me. It says on apple's tracking page that my package is in a UK distribution centre, and the carrier tracking number is the same 80xxxx number that they give you.

How do I find out who the final carrier is, and what my shipping reference number is?
 
I'm from Dundee too waiting on mine along with my ipod. Ordered on 23rd and estimated delivery 11th-12th

I have no tracking details yet but i assume this is normal because i have a merged order?

Can't believe im actually excited about a laptop :D

Your carrier should be TNT. Go to TNT's tracking page, then switch it to International Tracking (it won't track on the UK standard). Enter the tracking number as a Reference... it should then show you your tracking page, and also give you a consignment number. Record the consignment number and use it from then on to track or get information about your package.

Thanks, tried TNT international didn't like the number apple gave me. So I tried the UK version and it said it was down for maintenance. Fantastic. How can one person be this unlucky?

No doubt when my macbook finally arrives it will have some serious faults and problems.

Stop being such a pessimist, you will get it soon. Look if its an 808 number and TNT international does not have it listed on the site yet (be sure you are listing it as a reference number, not a consignment number)... then you can just call TNT up and they might have more updated information then that which is on the site. Someone had that problem several pages back, and they gave her the consignment number when she rang them up. Remember, its a Sunday... just wake up early tomorrow and see if its updated...

Haha, thanks buddy. I hate all this waiting that's all. Thankfully it's being delivered to my work addresse, not home addresse, so someone will be there to pick it up when it arrives.
