Got my Price Reduction email
Just got an email from Apple reducing the price by $150. I ordered the SSD.

Everythings greyed out on mine too now, but its not because its ready to ship, it says its because of the payment method i chose, i think it just does that for all credit card purchases as default.
Ok so you cannot cancel. Just for grins, I think your order date was early Jan right?
Yeah, I think that only the SSD is reduced now. All other mods are same price as before today.
Ok, I am Jan 22, so that means only a matter of hours/minutes, seconds for me. Frankly, I find it interesting to watch the cogs move.
Assuming you're both American you're probably right. I'm in Canada and ordered early Jan, still haven't heard anything.
Hopefully soon though.
I live in the UK, we usually get stuff quicker from China though than the US for many reasons, less strict customs controls, pre arranged EU trade deficits etc
Hmm, apparently kastenbrust is from "London". I think from the earlier statements that'd be the UK, not Ontario.
Gives me even more hope.
EDIT: Nice. We posted at more or less the same time. I really need to learn to read before I post.
Still in CC pending limbo since yesterday - no ship date (ordered CTO/GL on 1/9). Although very happy shipping has begun. I didn't realize how much I would be consumed by all this...
Ok, so it is on your online statement as a charge from Apple at this point. Is that what you mean? When did you order? What was your delivery date before and after they started shipping? When did you get to California? When are you leaving? Are you going to the moon?, etc... Please address all questions with comprehensive responses.
Thanks.
P.S. Sorry TOO MUCH KOOL-AID
lol.. lay off the kool-aid, its not good for ya. =p
Lets see.. Right now, apple has my money. I ordered jan 27 at night. I've always been in CA, I don't plan on leaving, the moon would be a nice place to be.
No, I got the price drop e-mail, too and I ordered a 13" aluminum MacBook two days ago. I think it is across several models.
Ok, I expect then over the weekend the charge to showup on my card since it does take a couple days for it to hit and they only update once a day and that is at night. Probably will batch process the charges tonight and I will see it in the morning.
Ok, I will lay off the Kool-Aid.
Interesting. This must be happening as they get to the orders and update things just before shipping. I haven't seen nothin'.
I notice that everyone here seems to have ordered directly from Apple. I ordered mine from MacMall to save the state tax and to get a few extra promotions. Consequently, I don't have a status page with Apple for delivery. I placed my order on January 21. The predicted shipping time is around February 19. It will be coming from MacMall, not Apple. I am having IWorks pre-installed, as well as Parallels and Windows XP. I ordered the 2.93 with the 7200 drive, glossy.
Is there any particular reason none of you ordered from MacMall?
