tbh all my repairs have been done by ups and i live in staffordshire. plus there's a depot just down the road from me!
Ok, what it is is that when the order is a "merge in transit" they get sent from there to the costumer via TNT. Read the rest of the thread if you want more proof (even though redaing >1000 post might be quite discouraging!
Ok Ive got to walk back from my lecture now, but ill try and keep everyone updated via my iPhone 
i guess i should face facts i'm probably not receiving my macbook this week
when i click on track order i get this
Estimated Delivery Date (Subject to change) 15 Nov 2008 (Subject to change)
this is when the All dates are displayed in the time zone 'local to the event'.
When changed to British time i get the 14th Nov 2008
after having read this thread previously (3 this morning haha) i realised that apple do not work alongside with TNT on a Saturday, meaning that the mac will actually be here, more accurately, on monday. I'm really regretting buying my mac online with a student discount. Wish I'd have paid the full price and received it from the shop the same day rather than a month later

i would have been willing to pay full price minus discounts in store for an actual product rather than a virtual, untrackable one!
well, it's 5pm, so no mvp for me untill wensday or thursday...
*reaches for baseball bat*
*grips it tightly*
*looks menacingly at elmancho*
well, I always kept the reservation we would need an update by 5pm...
So I'm not going to use my mbp as a shield quite yet
well, it's 5pm, so no mbp for me untill wensday or thursday...
*sucks teeth*
this must be an embarassing moment for you elmancho.........
no way? since release date? most people have had theirs delivered by now.
mine should be arriving tmr and i bought it on the 30th.
Stepping out of the shadows...
I've been watching this thread with interest since ordering my MBP (2.53/320@7200 with assorted paraphernalia) on the 29th.
This morning my shipping status changed to:
I haven't seen any mention of this "uplift" status before, could someone shed any light on it please?
FYI, I've got 4 numbers down the side of that page, 2 of which being the same (Order and PO numbers; W***) the others are "Additional Order Number" (709***) and "Our shipping ref" which in an 808*** number. The carrier tracking number is listed as the ever helpful "In transit to final destination - carrier details to be updated shortly."
As expected none of the numbers work with TNT but the US apple store identifies Syncreon Technology and Kuhne & Nagel Spedition as the current carriers.
I'm aware I probably won't receive any useful tracking info until it's almost delivered, but I'm wondering how accurate the estimated delivery date of the 17th is and whether anyone knows the steps in the chain between "uplift" and delivery.

What does this mean? any ideas when i'll get my mbp? When "British Time" is selected it changes to 14th estimated delivery. Its been stuck on this since the 6/7th
just read the previous 3 pages and you will get all the info you need...
(there are 2 or 3 of us in the exact same situation ( shipped 5th est. 15th).
Never, ever heard of uplift, and I've been following this thread fir a while now.
Keep us posted if you have any additional info!
