Our MBP is stranded in ShangHai thread [UK/Eu]

rata911 said:
If a delivery takes an alternative route as we're hoping for right now, then it should show up in your tracking information "once the shipment has been scanned and sorted". (Ups Twitter)

Does that mean it should update on arrival or on departure? Arrival, right?
This laptop odyssey makes my brain spongy. :cool:

Both ! but since most of us here have a "departure scan" in Shanghai, we're all expecting an arrival somewhere :) Hopefully in Europe.

I still dont have a "departure scan"

This makes me a sad panda....
 
So I spoke to UPS again,
And was updated with the following information.

Here is an exact quote.

ME "any idea when the next flights out of china will be?" -
UPS "How long is a piece of string?" :mad:

The only useful bit of information I got was that there will be another departure scan when the units reach the aircraft before they leave shanghai.

My order is showing 'Not Yet Shipped'... I assume I can cancel now as my card will not have been charged? My order is for 15" i7 with high res glossy and HDD @ 7200.

I am thinking it would better to cancel and try to find almost the same machine at Apple stores (London UK area). I know the HDD will be regular speed but are the high res not being sold at stores? Any thoughts? I don't want to be waiting for a long time while the shipping situation is ongoing.

Just cancelled... No point in getting invoiced and waiting forever. I called couple of London stores... they don't have HR in stock. One store said they sometimes do and the other said they are only available online. Interestingly, apparently their delivery are delayed as well.

Your last two statuses are identical to mine, including timestamps. Looks like we're in exactly the same boat. Actually, a boat seems like the only option at the moment :)

I'd be happy for them to put it on a boat. At least then we'd know what was going on! :D

Have you read the thread?
It most certainly hasn't left Shanghai yet.
 
BarnabyjcKent said:
Yes i read it.
No i didn't understand it.
Thus asking the question....

No problem.
Those points describing action in Cologne just indicate the exchange of documents for customs via e-mail, so the last relevant point is "natural disaster". Welcome to the club ;)
 
Check your mailbox...

I received a mail stating that my order is currently being shipped and that I have to expect a delay due blablabla....

In my opinion it's just some b***it to keep us waiting quietly

Its interesting that they have re-sent the documentation to Cologne.
Perhaps they are gearing up for a new flight? What does everyone else make of this?

The first one documents the request for clearance, the second the confirmation of clearance.

Exactly the same for me. Check my sig. Along with a couple of other Europeans, actually. I think our MBP's are all on one big pallet, waiting to be flown to Cologne.

And I believe flights have commenced to and from Colonge on a very limited basis. So there's hope.

Exactly! :mad:
That's the reason I opened this thread - No point seeing the Americans being happy getting their MBP and we are just here, looking at the gloomy volcano ashes floating around while our MBP is still sitting at the cargo factory in China... :mad::mad::mad:
 
On a side note, a member on a dutch Apple forum had his 13" MBP delivered today by UPS. So apparently our orders are not just sitting somewhere. There's a chance they're actually moving.
