the time they quote on their website is number of working days to SHIP not number of working days to arrive. So the laptop should have shipped within seven days of ordering it, but it takes 3-5 working days to be delivered once it has been shipped (I think).
Got a tip for us?

You've been great everyone!!!! (especialy redrog and milly, no offence to others)
Ill try and check back here once in a while
Congrats and enjoy!
This is my 5th working day since shipping, but mine is being merged in the UK because I have ordered some accessories (which I now regret)
Small world! Did you find out what the "uplift" actually means? You don't think that they're getting plastic surgery already do you?
I plotted the range of shipping and delivery dates on my calendar just after I ordered it. Wednesday next week the last of the delivery dates. I will only start hassling them if I haven't heard anything by Tuesday next week.
Correct, and then there's the possible merging complications on top of that.
OOHHHHH

if you change the time to British time it should say 14th nov which is Friday. Mine does anyway. Don
OOooooooooooOO
Just been moved from Uplift to In transit to customer - Shipment on schedule!
Still due for delivery on the 17th though
EDIT: How many days should i expect it to stay on this status?

Its been doing that for a week now. I reckon the carrier just hasn't scheduled final delivery yet. Judging by what happened last night I could be in for a delivery tomorrow (he said trying not to get too excited)
I think mine went to that status as soon as it left Shanghai ie. on the 5th - so about a week
Then again I didn't have the uplift status
Hmmm - It supposedly shipped on the 7th which would lead me to believe that it's now about to leave BeNeLux having possibly had its HD replaced (<<uplift)? Who knows
I wonder whether RealEvil has had the same change as me.

HURRAH
Mine arrived today at 4.30. Had to wait around all day for it but certainly well worth it. It's a really smart piece of kit - and not a fault to be seen. Those who are still waiting don't worry they're not all bad!
Elmancho I'll miss you!
Youre definatly getting it tomoeow then
Keep quiet you.
Actually est del date now changed to 13th and TNT are reporting that it has left Nuneaton.
Looking good.
Just to make everyone feel a lot better, I received the rest of my order today. So I now have my full order. I hope you're all as happy with your orders as I am with mine. Also to those who say you need to use the mouse over the trackpad, don't listen to them, the trackpad is wonderful.
And so it continues...
I've just been updated to:
Delivery scheduled by final carrier, see estimated delivery date
That estimated date is still the 17th but I believe that might change as soon as the TNT tracking starts to work - next few hours?
BTW, I would recommend using the dashboard to track your gear, in particular taking a webclip of apple's tracking page and using this widget to save your refresh buttons. The webclip doesn't seem to time-out which is pretty cool and you can have multiple instances of the widget. I've use an apple and tnt one.

So that would make the 13th possible/probable for me since it was after 5pm?
here's to hoping...
