New MBP 17" delivery dates!

[djnr]

I checked it at around 7am NY time this morning and it just said the 23rd for delivery. I called apple and they said that it was still scheduled with them for shipment on the 20th. I also spoke to a fedex delivery man and he said that shipments from China are usually pretty fast and that there is no reason that we wont have it by friday. I think it just depends on the customs process. Keep your fingers crossed!

Thanks! at this point yes, all 20 fingers crossed to get it by friday... what a bunch of geeks we are, looking forward to get the new machine before the weekend so we spend it sitting in front of it, like we don't do that for the rest of our lives! LOL! but well if i get it by friday it will prevent spending more money on alcohol!

 

[isethx]

When did you order it?

jan 9th

If I keep my fingers crossed any longer, they'll break off!

dannomac, check this site for a Fed Ex flight out of Anchorage... Mine is on this flight!

Too bad mine's going UPS. Hopefully it leaves soon. I know that if it went FedEx it'd be going to the southern USA. I'm hoping mine goes from Alaska to somewhere in western Canada.

 

[ayeying]

ayeying, you saved me! j/k

We have the same configuration but my ship date was like next century (3/20)

I just checked and now it ships 2/26 with a delivery date of 3/03!!!

I just got 2 emails from apple telling me its gonna ship by the 3rd.. I don't care for the 3rd, I want it in February. lol

 

[Minimoose 360]

Mine just hit Alaska and is on it's way to New York!! So excited.

 

[ayeying]

Shipped!!! OMG ITS SHIPPED!

FedEx estimates it'll be here on Monday (damn weekend..)... but it might come on friday. My printer that I ordered from Apple came the very next day and FedEx said 3 days for shipping.

 

[rickeames]

Ordered mine on January 6th and still nothing has changed on my order. Just sitting there "Not Yet Shipped." I ordered the matte screen.

 

[ayasin]

I just got the email as well about shipping. Hopefully it will be here Friday, but it says estimated Monday. Damn you Apple and your not providing me an option for Saturday delivery!

Now how did you status go? What was it this morning then didnit change ship dates then did it say prepared for shipping and now does it say shipped? Did all of this happen with in today? And one last question what was your original ship and order date? Thanks I'm just trying to see how apple is actually going about updating the order status page

 

[Minimoose 360]

Mine changed from "Prepared For Shipping" to "Shipped" in almost exactly 12 hours, which very well happens in a day.

The time line went something like this:

8:00AM - Got a called from Apple saying my system won't get shipped until 27th at the earliest.
9:00AM - Called Apple back and got a different answer.
~11:00AM - Status changed to "Prepared For Shipping"
2:30PM - Noticed a change in estimated dates from March 5 shipped to February 27 shipped
8:30PM - Got a E-Mail saying it was shipped

My original ship date was suppose to be:

Ships Mar 5
Delivers Mar 10

then it changed to

Ships Feb 27
Delivers Mar 3

I ordered Jan 27.

Does anyone know the different between Fedex Ground and Express? Is Express for over sea's? I only got regular shipping.

I order my 17" MBO on on 01/12/09 at 1:33pm (PST) being shipped to San Jose, CA.

My order when from prepared to ship to shipped within 7 hours last night into early morning as of 12:30am.

Last tracking on my item says:

Feb 18, 2009 7:27 PM Picked up SHANGHAI CN Package received after FedEx cutoff

I can't believe it didn't make it for the cut off TIME!! I would have gotten maybe FRIDAY!?!

Estimated delivery: Feb 23, 2009 by 10:30 AM!

[mikekelley]

Today's the big day for me...here's to hoping I wake up to a status change for the first time in over a month.

 

[ayasin]

Well yes, they do deliver on Saturday for an extra fee, but Apple never gave me the option to choose Saturday delivery so it will either be delivered Monday or Friday. Obviously I'm hoping for the latter as I have a client I need to be at by 10:30 on Monday (the delivers by time).

For those of you ordering from Apple the first time.. in the last 6 years I have ordered 4 mac desktops (including my SCREAMING machine.. specs below).. as well as 2 Mac g3 books, 1 Macbook, and this will be my 3rd MacBook Pro.. had the last model 17 inch, now a unibody late 2008 15.. and ordered unibody 17 inch, 2.93, 8gb ram, 320 7200rpm drive...

Good news is.. every single time I have ordered.. I have received my package before it showed it was supposed to be delivered. The 15 inch unibody I'm on now.. status showed it has just arrived at the FedEx facility.. I walked to the receptionist a moment later.. and FedEx guy had just dropped it off!! So those of you whose package shows en route .. if you ordered 2-3 day FedEx and have luck like I have.. you'll have it by Friday. Mine shows shipped out yesterday with delivery by monday 23rd... I'm hoping when I return to the office from my business trip Sunday.. it's there waiting

Well here's to hoping the streak continues and I also have the same luck!

FedEx is probably the only carrier that actually comes to my house before 10am lol. I'll be home then since I dont have class until 4pm

LOL. Your little story about this matches your avatar. I would make that very same face if I were you.

 

[Wail]

UPS van just left!

One happy Wail here ... box with 17" new unibody MBP is being opened as I type this

So, the shipping date that Apple originally gave is, in fact, the delivery date.

Well done Apple.


Now, excuse me while I go to check this out.
