I called that number and they will be delivering my computer early! Not by 10:30 AM because it is a day early but who cares! Now I just sit and wait.
Got a tip for us?

Ok, just called the special decoder pin 1-800 number posted above and you get a person immediately in Memphis, TN. No automated stuff with that number. They asked for a tracking, I provided it. They stated that "departed from FEDEX location" was true, but didn't make the outbound flight, so it will be here Monday. Good to know. Heck, I knew it all along
good luck with fed-x. they are the biggest bunch of liars. i wouldnt trust anything they say. most of the time they just tell you what you want to hear. i'm not bitter.
Well, if you think about it, if that was the case, wouldn't "what I wanted to hear" is that it arrived locally and is on the truck, or something closer to that vs. "it hasn't left Indianapolis?"
Perhaps it will show up today in the mail at my office where it is being delivered, however, if it doesn't, I may see it arrive this afternoon and I can pick it up at the local FEDEX location in Houston. I would like to have it before the weekend, but Monday will come regardless.
Perhpas what bothers most of us is that if you call FEDEX, they read you the tracking information you are already staring at while with them on the phone. We are looking for more guidance and frankly, they could track the plane, tell you what location it will arrive at, etc..., but you just have to be more persistent and get people on the phone that will answer the question, or just be patient, which is usually the best alternative.
I must admit, however, it is misleading that the tracking states "left FEDEX location" but didn't make the flight. Some 'ems afoot with that one. We will see whent the next tracking update status says; or I perhaps will get a call from my mail folks at work in a couple hours with the 'ole "hey, you have a big box down here, you want to come get it?"
How weird is FedEx not to have a main West Coast shipping facility? For west coast deliveries, why do they send it from Alaska to Indy? What a waste of fuel, etc...
Oh well it will make it on Monday..

How long after credit card hold?
For those of you lucky enough to get a machine sent already, how long after they hit your credit card with the hold did it take to see the machine leave? I ordered my matte 17" on 1/6, still waiting, but they put the credit card hold last saturday. No change in shipping status....

congrats detz! maybe fed-ex will prove me wrong. but after numerous fiasco's with them over christmas, i still have a bad taste in my mouth when having to deal with them. new year, maybe a new fedex.
i've ordered the matte the same day as you. i've had no credit card hold, no pre-auth, no charge, no movement, nothing on my order. i think we are in the same boat as the ssd orders. really strange since a lot of people that just placed matte display orders got bumped up 10 days in their original shipping dates.
Well mine has been in transit at china for over 24hrs and has yet to move from there. My deliverey date is the 23 hmm.
Let's see where we stand
Can we get a rundown of those that are still awaiting a "Prepared" or "Shipped" status, with model and order date?
For instance me
2.93/Glossy/Stock HD - ordered Feb. 18, Estimated Delivery Date March 2-9.
(it might seem that I'm late to the thread, but my 1st order was Jan 20 from MacMall and I've placed a total of 5 orders for this machine, with 4 cancellations, as MacMall lined my bed of discontent with a feather filling of lies, deceit, and rude customer service. I now have a "sane" EPP Applestore order and couldn't be happier).

It seems that location is also important, US is faster than Europe.
2.93/Glossy/7200 RPM HD - Ordered Feb. 13, Estimated Delivery Data March 19
IT CAME!!
FedEx delivered it to my house at 9:05 this morning.
NOW my father has to bring it to me here at school (I didn't trust the mailroom with it) and I really wish I didn't have lecture today!!!! BAH F IT ILL OPEN THE DAMN THING RIGHT THERE IN FRONT OF EVERYONE!
Good luck to all who are still waiting, it WILL come. :3 I can't get over that I'm about to have my FIRST Mac ever!! I'm just really ecstatic to be joining such a great community!! I'll check in later with unboxing pics.

Did yours arrive early in terms of a day early? Congrats BTW.
I wonder if anybody knows the way production runs work in a large factory like Apples? I'd guess they might have a different stage for the Matte option or maybe it's the same line and they just change it over. Although from the few Macworld pics it looks like the matte is a silver bezel applied to a regular Glossy screen. I'm wondering if this might end up being different than we've all been lead to believe. And the fact that nobody has seen it, means we won't know until somebody does...
Still awaiting anything other than "Not Shipped Yet".
My order is:
2.93/7200 RPM/Matte ordered Feb. 1, Ships Feb. 27 (corrected Date)
Thanks! And no it didn't. It was scheduled to be delivered by February 20th at 10:30am, and it came right around that time. It started it's journey on the 16th (I think I was one of the earliest besides the two users who actually got theirs.)
I would have had it sooner but I used standard shipping

2.66/Matte/Stock HD/4gb - ordered 6 Jan, Estimated Ship Date: 27 Feb
500 gb 7200 rpm seagate hd and 8gb memory eagerly awaiting implant.
i feel cheap seeing all the 2.93 orders and not many 2.66. am i missing out on some special feature of the 2.93 proc other then a slight speed bump?
wonder why i have a 'ships by' date of 27 feb, but others that ordered after have a 'delivers by' 27 feb. i give up on guessing the funky way apple ships products.
My thing says "Departed Fedex Facility" in Oakland, which is the main routing center for where I live. It doesn't say anything about being on a truck or whatever... should I take the chance of skipping work to see if it arrives? lol.
I would never advocate skipping work, else you won't be able to pay the credit card you used to charge the machine to without a job; however, you may be kidding.
Yours probably will arrive today. FEDEX isn't always super timely on tracking.
Yeah, I was. lol. I'd just leave that note with my signature so fedex would leave the package.
It says its at the Local FedEx Facility now... I don't think it's coming today =[
Edit> Actually, the chance is still alive according to previous customers of FedEx.. they say the "Local FedEx Facility" is to offload packages to local trucks.
i think you can go into your account with your order and "pre-sign" for the delivery. unless you have a signature release on file with federal express, i doubt they'll leave the package, unless maybe you leave the driver a $20.
good luck, i hope it's delivered today.Since it is likely not going to be delivered tomorrow, you can go anytime and pick it up at the local facility before Monday. Is that possible?
