My order says: Onderweg naar eindbestemming , underway to end destination.

But my order says it will arive 14-17th Nov? Does it take them 9-13days to get to me if it's allready in NL?
With a healthy, well-rested donkey, I think 12 days is possible.

I wish there were an option to ship via a modern jet propelled aircraft. I have heard those things can actually fly from Shanghai to Schiphol in under 14 hours!!

hahahahahaha!
 
Ok so my status changed to "Onderweg naar klant – verzending op schema" for the second time and if I recall correctly from the UK thread that means that the final carrier has got it now and is planning it in. Should be delivered tomorrow, which is my estimated delivery date (it was 7-10 nov.)
 
Guys look what I got this morning: a replacement battery for my not yet delivered MBP! lol :)

IT IS BEAUTIFUL! MADE OF ALUMINIUM! WOW!
 
What the heck... How strange?

No, stop! You gotta be kidding :D

Reminds me of this guy.

Of course I did order it, but I did it seperately from the rest because I saw that ordering them altogether would increase the deliverytime with a few days... And now I have a spare battery one week ahead. Haha... and they delivered it in an A2 size parcel!?! wtf
 
New status: Overdracht aan laatste vervoerder wordt voorbereid
Delivery date: Monday 10 Nov
Tracking number/carrier: Onderweg naar eindbestemming - informatie van vervoerder wordt binnenkort bijgewerkt

@railrunner: hope you'll get it today dude!
 
Ok so I called Apple and they said that all orders are delayed. Mine is still floating somewhere between Amsterdam (where is arrives by plane) and Tilburg (where it will be merged). She said I *may* get it tomorrow!

I hate this. I'm too excited.

Yeah looks like Apple is in serious trouble, and is acquiring some new transport... look here
 
Well I'll give them till 15.00, then i'll call again and make the suggestion of me picking it up from where ever it is.

"Due to shrinking of the stable." Lol. They want camels and horses now :)
 
Sorry for doubleposting :)

My status has been updated with "Delivery scheduled by final carrier, see estimated delivery date". Delivery date is still the 6th (today). Carrier is NL DITRIBUTION CENTRE.

Just called Apple as they asked me this morning. And they have a really big delay in ALL orders. The call centre can't see where every order is and she said that they're working overtime this evening to ship all orders tonight.

Edit: Just updated again. I've got a tracking number from UPS as well! Will be delivered tomorrow!

Well it's either UPS or TNT Express (not Post). In my case it's UPS. And it's getting delivered today! Woohooo.

@FGD: Hope you get yours soon as well. I think you get your tracking numbers today.

Yeah but Macrem, have you ordered anything with your MB(P)? If so, then it will be merged in Tilburg. In that case they try to collect a few orders that go to Tilburg. It has to be merged there and they have been behind with the orders at the moment.
