New MBP 17" delivery dates!

Status
Not open for further replies.
I think I may hold the record for the fastest order to ship time for the 17" MBP. Ordered it at around 8PM EDT and by 4AM it was shipped! I didn't expect this. Says it delivers by Monday, the 23rd. :D

Here's a screenshot. Edited out personal information of course. It's the completely stock configuration.

I order mine Jan 29 and will get mine at the same time as you. Kudos to you sir.

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.

Congrats mate!


You ordered six days ahead of me. Any day now..

Anyone else in Europe got theirs?
 
UK Tracking Info Delay

MAGICMOXTER said:
oh i just found out if you ordered any extras such as i ordered a new remote along with my MBP you wont get your UPS delivery tracking number until your MBP is nearly or actually in the UK, because they add the remote to your package at a depot near the delivery point. That sucks.

Spoke to Apple (9.00am GMT) & they confirmed this. I ordered Applecare for £57 (education discount) with MBP (2.93, 7200) on 13 January & that means I'll only get a tracking number when it's unpacked in UK, has the Applecare box added & then despatched next week. His guesstimate for advice of tracking info was Sunday or Monday. Feel happier now I know what's cracking off.

I guess this might be useful for anyone thinking of ordering now-if you order a MBP without any 'extras' that need adding in UK-your despatch & tracking info is given as soon as it leaves China & it will be faster.

I'm chuffed for you!

Good that they're getting to Blightey at last. Mine needs to rendezvous with a copy of iWork on the way, though, so I doubt I'll see it before Monday.

They tell me patience is a virtue...
 
Hello new to the forum, I'm in the UK, ordered on Feb 3rd. If you log onto the US store account - it says delivery will take place on on 27th Feb, if you log into the UK store you get estimate delivery date is 27th Feb.

Anyway I've ordered MBP17 2.66 upgraded HDD to 7200, and screen to Matte.
 
YES mine is finally shipped. I live in Hong Kong. I think that mine wil come this weekend. Because there are not a lot of people order this product in Hong Kong, I hope it will arrive by Saturday or something. YAY! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

That explains it then...I am in the same boat as I ordered Applecare too, but my order date was the 7th. My delivery date now shows the 21st, fingers crossed I will get it by then :)

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!

I have a feeling it won't get here till Monday.. darn it..
 
Mine is on the wait from Indiana to Atlanta now, if it makes it in today I maybe able to pick it up at the Local fedex depo... so excited!
 
Check this out. Mine is on the way from China to Texas right now. I have chartered a jet (I will be on the jet) to rendezvous with the FEDEX plane so I can get mine today and open it on the jet while on the way back to Texas.

This is an expensive way to get a bit earlier delivery (perhaps only 24 hours earlier), but isn't our 17MBP worth every bit of energy we can put into getting it to us?

Anyone else doing the same? I saw someone indicating earlier they were going to the FEDEX depot to pick there's up.

;)

My fedex Depo is 4 minutes from work (work downtown) so for me its nothing bad as people think it is. Sad part is I am coming on-call for work Friday afternoon so I won't have much time to play with my new toy so its easier for me to get it Thursday night swap the drive and re-install and play with it in the evening prior to a week of on-call hell.
 
Does FedEx let you pick things up, I thought they were anal about that? If I find out it's there on Saturday can I call and pick it up you think?

I've done it many times if an item arrives after the 10:30AM cut off and I need to pick it up prior to going out of town or other issues. I don't trust my neighborhood with stuff left out so I try to get it before its delivered.
