I mailed in my scratched up 17" MBP yesterday. My replacement is now "prepared for shipment". I'm impressed! I'm sure they'll do you right.

Hi,
Ordered mine through a reseller in Melbourne on the 16th of January. After chasing I received these comments from the reseller.
Apple have now revised their so called 'estimate' back to week 3 in March for MB604X/A for Authorised Dealer orders nationwide.
Apple's Demo models have also not shipped as yet and are usually a sign that they are starting to ship in Aus production. as clearly they need to get to showrooms first up.
It's a bit frustrating when I see orders supplied elsewhere.
17" MBP Unibody 2.93GHz, 4 GB RAM 320GB 7200RPM HD Matte, 24" LED Display.
Was that a stock model or did it have any customization? Just wondering because mine is a 2.93GHz. I'd love to have it ship that fast!

I think a lot of resellers atm don't have a clue what's going on. Lets hope your reseller that you are going through ordered it when you place the order. If they waited till now to place it, then yes you should be getting it late March. But it shouldn't be that long.
Like i've said before, my MBP is going through a reseller and 'Apple' (not the reseller) saying I should get MBP within 10 working days. That was 2 days ago.
Same, reseller and 'Apple'. Apple are not giving specific deliveries and are quoting 3rd week in March to Platinum Apple reseller. Hope they are being conservative.
This has got to be "being conservative" otherwise it's inexcusable. You ordered yours well and truly before many of those who have already received theirs. How can they justify that to their resellers? I can understand Apple wanting to serve the people who had ordered from their website prior to the announcement that shipping was being delayed till the 23rd Feb, but anyone who ordered after that was in the same boat (3-4 weeks delivery time)
I understood, when placing the order, not to expect mine till early march... but you must be beside yourself... people who place an order on the Au store last week will be receiving theirs in the next few days but you have to wait till LATE march... Gimme a break! </vent>
Can you tell 'us' where your from? A country is good enough. It's just we don't know if you have received it in America or Russia.
Can everyone do the same? post your country if you have received your MBP goodness?? It will be ever so helpful.
Thanks

Anybody from Scandinavia gotten their 17" MBP yet?
I'm currently finishing my masters in Sweden and thinking about ordering one. Not keen on waiting for months though.

Which delivery date?
When I go to 'track this shipment' I get the following:
Shipped to GUILDFORD, GB 21 Feb 2009
Estimated Delivery Date (Subject to change) 04 Mar 2009 (Subject to change)
Current Delivery Status In Transit to Customer - Shipment on Schedule 27 Feb 2009
Which is the delivery date? 4th of march or 27th feb? or is the 27th feb the date its due to land in the UK then the 4th march when its due to be delivered to me? I havent got any tracking number for TNT or UPS yet which suggests that its not in the country yet...
Just a little confused and wondering whether to escalate to VERY excited now or at the start of next week

Apple is obviously servicing the customers that bought direct first, once they get caught up with the preorders and orders they will ship to resellers.....hopefully.

You'll get it Monday. It means its on its way from China, but you must have ordered something else with it, such as Applecare, or some preinstalled software which adds a week to your delivery time if you live in the UK. I live in Haslemere and it went from China to Amsterdam to TNT's Regional Warehouse in Weybridge where it met my Applecare and then next day it came to me.

That´s a tough turn, Tussen.
I ordered a Brenthaven eclipse III sleeve with mine, which seems to
give me at least an extra week of waiting. What I can´t figure is why there are no more details in shipping notice, other than shipped feb 24th, ETA march 9th ...

It probably will come soon. But those of us who ordered from 3rd party resellers are out of luck. They (Apple) will supply them when they are good and ready.
Ships: 5 - 7 business days
Delivers: Mar 6 - Mar 12
I have also used the 2-3 shipping. So hopefully it will come faster, but I have heard if you order through ADC it will take a long time. Any of this information true?

Since you got yours did you have any problems with the laptop. Any major defects or is everything perfect?
