There seems to be loads of activity elsewhere-shipping address greyed out, cash reserved/taken & EVEN emails advising of shipping. Here in UK absolute zilch since I was advised 'shipping on 19th'-I just want something to happen!!! All can do is stroke my green SuperGimp laptop bag for comfort, & read enviously of all this stuff happening for other people. I just can't wait to play!

:)

I know what you mean. I'm in the same boat, except the bag I'm fondling is a brown and orange Le Royale.

Although early shipping would be a nice surprise, I'm not expecting any movement until the glorious 19th!

I suspect that most of us will be living vicariously until then. Meanwhile, I'm off for lunch!

Same here, "stroking" my Tagus Metro XL, Explorer Mouse, among other things. My friend are so nice, bought me a nice mouse for my birthday.:D
 
Funny things happening on my credit card

My credit card available balance just dropped by $3718. No justification for it. No recent deposits, and my balance is $0.00. I should be billed $3350 when the order processes on the 19th...it might mean that they are getting ready to ship and pinged the account for adequate funds.
 
New MBP 17" delivery dates!

Here's my first ever post to this Forum. I enjoy reading that I am not the only individual tired of waiting.

Cannot figure all the fuss and worry with deliver dates. I have had four separate dates for deliver: 4 to 6 weeks after ordering on 6 Jan 09; on 15 jan told shipping 19 Feb deliver 24 Feb; on 27 Jan told ships in 7-10 business days deliver 5-12 Feb; now it is 19 Feb shipping. I'll get it when it arrives that's the only certain thing! I went through this waiting for my Pismo way back when. So, as long it arrives in one piece and works without fault, because they may be working on a problem and it is better than having to return it, I'll be very happy

Credit card was pre-okayed two weeks ago.
 
hi to everyone.
Finally i decided to give an order (2.93 ghz, 7200 rpm hard drive) but i have a problem. My credit card limit is not enough to purchase, can i give an order with 2 credit cards?
Second question, can i do this in the apple store?
Thanks for your help.

You can do it in any Apple store, or by phoning their cusomter support.

You'll have to call them and see if they can. I could but I didn't use 2 credit cards for the same item. I had 2 items each billed on separate cards.

yesterday i chatted with apple uk. i even phoned to make sure i was told by both advisors that it wasnt possible to pay with 2 credit cards for a single transaction!

5min ago i chatted with apple uk:

hi, could you tell me if i am able to pay with 2 different credit cards?
#
AGENT: I'm happy to assist with that.
#
AGENT: I'm sorry, but that is not an option.
#
You: are you sure about that? could you please double check with the payments department beause i was told that it is indeed possible
#
AGENT: I'll confirm that for you.
#
AGENT: No, this is not an option. I"m sorry for the confusion.
#
You: so if i have a credit card limit of £2000 i am not able to purchase an apple product costing more, correct?
#
AGENT: That's correct.
#
AGENT: You could use one of our financing options


confusing!
 
Trying going into an Apple store, where abouts do you live? I know theres two in London and another in Birmingham. This shouldn't even be an issue for you, if it helps i used two Visa cards, ones a company card from my business and the others my personal one.
 
Actually i bought a MacBook pro 2 months ago with 2 credit cards but in the store and of course it was stock config.
I am not sure , am I able to place an order or not:( tomorrow I am going to an apple store and ask them. Let's see what will happen.

I used my student discount 2 months ago, can I go with my friend to an apple store and he shows his student ID , and I pay? Is this possible?

Just had a call from a lady at the 'Investigations' section of my bank concerning 'unusual a/c activity'-bit worrying because the last time was 'Were you in Milan on Thursday & did you make a withdrawal of £200?'-No!
However, Apple took the cash for my new Mac yesterday from my a/c (Visa Debit). The investigations lady couldn't really 'get' my delight until I explained the boys toys stuff!
Nothing else has changed BUT surely cannot be long now. (Ordered 6 Jan., revised 13th & previous ship was 3rd Feb with delivery on or before 16th, until estimated ship 19th Feb).
Anyone else in UK had any 'activity'?
 
Please, if you post that yours has shipped include your order date and what options you have to the rest of use can judge when ours will be sent. Thanks.
 
*snip*

Just checked my account again. No activity there, I'm afraid.

(Ordered a 2.93 with a MiniDP/VGA : 15th Jan

Estimated shipped: 12th Feb
Estimated delivered: 23rd Feb

Bumped to: Estimated shipped: 19th Feb)
