Ok well Fedex is on the ball, its actually on the Truck for delivery today. My Fedex date was Tomorrow morning but it will be delivered today!
Thank you. The only change I opted for, on this one, is the 320GB 7200rpm hard drive. I have another one on order which isn't coming until the middle of March, this one has the mat screen.
Credit Card has been processed.
As for posting a picture, right now ... too buys playing and installing the applications. But, will do so once I've sorted all that out.
What a grand surprise when I checked FedEx this morning. Last night the plane had just left Alaska and this morning my MBP is about 6 miles away. My delivery date was tomorrow at 10:30 AM but I wonder if they'll deliver it today? Certainly hope so. Feeling much better knowing it is closer than China.

EvangelistUPS tried to deliver mine this morning. Sadly I wasn't in because their tracker told me the delivery would be tomorrow but the early UK orders are at least beginning to arrive.

mine is set to ship next friday, 27.2. we shall see. it's so frustrating to see 2-3 weeks now on the apple store for matte when i've been waiting since 6.1 when i pre-ordered. i hope they ship tomorrow, but i'm not holding my breath. it's sad still seeing, 'not yet shipped'.

What a bummer!
Mine was scheduled to arrive today, as per the UPS tracking information. However, according to Apple it wasn't supposed to arrive until next Monday / Tuesday!
I was watching the UPS tracking all night and seeing how mine travelled half way across the world to get here. When it arrived in West Midlands' airport, I Googled that, to see how far / close that place is, turns out it's only 3 hours' drive away.
Early this morning, while sitting sipping tea & getting ready to go to university, I saw the UPS van pull up. Out comes a guy carrying a nice brown box, which obviously had to be my MBP; and presto
Moral of the story, when something this important is coming ... sit by the window and wait, and wait and wait! Scientist have mastered cloning, so have yourself cloned if you need to go out (work, uni., date, etc.) .. but never let the UPS guy go back without delivering your stuff!
Ok, my FEDEX status just changed to "in transit." Lookin' good.
My estimated delivery is Monday 2/23, however, I have a feeling it will be here tomorrow.
I am having mine delivered to work so that I don't have the "we tried to deliver, but no one was home" run around.
Please note: All the above is assuming I cannot rendezvous by jetliner this afternoon at 2:03pm Texas time with the FEDEX plane.

we already had our dates flipped to the 27th the day they announced delays. i don't think any anti-glare orders flipped to the 19th, it's always been the 27th.
Matte and SSD Orders
You should receive one of the first mattes with that order date. What is your full configuration?

standard config + matte display, nothing fancy. i ordered 8 gb ram and a 500gb seagate 7200 that are here and ready to go in the day it arrives. i thought about the 2.93 proc, but just couldn't justify the speed bump for the price. now i'm wondering if i should of done it since so many 2.93's have gone out.
Octuplets
We shall see about the delivery dates.
I live up the road from you. I was wondering. If we put two of these in a dark drawer overnight--could we get them to breed a few more? We should consult with the octuplets mom.

One thing I would like to say is, I thank Apple for providing free shipment. Furthumore, in HK the standard shipment is the express service. This makes it double plus good (1984). My shipment is in Shanghai and I live in Hong Kong. I hope it come tommorow.
Ah - in that case, I mean folks w/ SSDs and a ship date of the 19th. I believe we'll soon be joining your Feb. 27th date. =|
Nah, it won't work. Computers are like ant, the common individual can't procreate, only the queen (the factory!).
that sucks. strange since the apple store shows 7-10 days for SSD with glossy (on both models of SSD). it only goes up to 2-3 weeks for SSD + matte display. no SSD's have shipped at all yet?
this has been really frustrating this time around. a lot longer delay than i thought. my original ship date was the 17.2 which was pushed to 27.2.
Let's all plan on this being an extremely uncommon occurrence with these new machines.
Doubt it.
Apparently there's a buyer at Apple's manfuacturing ops center who woke up this morning, wide eyed, slapped his forehead and yelled "OMG WE FORGOT TO BUY THE DAMN SSDS" then proceeded to run down the block to Samsung in bathrobe and slippers, and is there right now banging on the door.
Seriously, I have a source that filled me in.
FINALLY shipped!
I can't wait, I'm giddy like a little kid again!
I ordered Jan 19th,
Stock + 7200hd and Aperture preinstalled
