Well I am guessing if our MBP's have actually reached Germany the German guys should take delivery first, so please keep us updated if you get yours 
Got a tip for us?

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

I just called UPS Germany. They told me the line "Brokerage Clearance... in Cologne" doesn't mean that much, because the Brokerage Papers are sent there electronically. It does NOT represent were the package currently is. :/
I hope she isn't right, but it sounded plausible.
That's weird I just went back to check and there's now mention of Ireland now, so I'm confused. UPS just says 'In Transit'
My Origin Scan was also Shanghai so maybe it is stranded after all
Yes, your right. If I knew it earlier I wouldn't have ordered my sleeve with my MCB. I called Apple to ask something about my order and I asked also if you order a case/sleeve if the transport will be delayed. She said yes it will be delayed with a couple days.
Volcano was already killing me now this. Looks like I will receive it early May.
Yes that what I think as well. Some people with the same status were told by UPS that the package is in Europe though.
Is reading the replies in this thread becoming somewhat of an obsession for anyone else? I like the comradeship!

I hope it's in Europe.
This thread starts to feel just like the old "Waiting for Arrandale" threads

Yep for me too. I also keep refreshing my ups page
The Presidents of the USA - Volcano
This thread remembers me of the arrandale-threads too. Haven't we waited long enough? Come on, Eyjafjallajökull. Have a mercy with us.

I totally agree! I love how we are all in the same boat/container sitting in some dodgy Chinese airport, i just wish UPS would sort out their tracking messages, all this disappointment is unbearable!

I'm in London, ordered the low end 15" MBP with the high res screen and a sleeve (why? If I'd known it would add to the shipping time I wouldn't have bothered) on the 14th.
When I log into my account,
The MBP says "Shipped on: Apr 17, 2010", "Estimated Delivery: 05 May, 2010 "
The Sleeve says "Shipped on: Apr 17, 2010", with a "track this shipment" button. But there's no carrier tracking number (just "In transit to final destination - carrier details to be updated shortly.")
I really want to be able to track something
I'm kind of hoping that my stuff is on some special "alternative" shipping route due to the volcano and that's why I've got no information.

I'm in Copenhagen, Denmark waiting for a 13".
According to the UPS tracking service it is supposed to be delivered today, but after reading this thread I don't believe that will be the case.

When was yours shipped? Im in Aarhus waiting for the exact same thing, so chances are our MBPs are sharing a seat on a plane somewhere

I do hope they went first class

I'm in the exact same boat as you. No tracking number, nothing other than it's shipped on 17th. I think it's just siting in the factory. I want my macbook to be at least picked up and moved somewhere out of the factory!!
I have a bad feeling that the sleeve will arrive today and I'll have to sit there looking at it for the next 2 weeks before the MBP arrives
Supposedly it was shipped on the 17th.When was yours shipped? Im in Aarhus waiting for the exact same thing, so chances are our MBPs are sharing a seat on a plane somewhere
Exactly the same as mine... Very exciting, we will see if any of us receive it today... Im eagerly anticipating the ring of the door bell, probably in vain

I'm the same - copenhagen. Highly doubt it'll show up today. Called UPS and they said I'd be lucky to see it this week...
Did they give any clue as to whether or not it was actually in Cologne or stuck in Shanghai? I decided on not to call UPS simply not to burst my own bubble...
UPS Update
UPS have this on their website:

UPS is closely monitoring the situation, which is changing from one hour to the next, and we are making adjustments to our network as necessary to best serve our customers.

Mine was shipped out of Shanghai Friday; arrived in Newark over the weekend and is now on the truck to me here in New York. Even though delivery estimate still says April 21, it looks like it's going to arrive two days early .

I'm in EXACTLY the same boat as you! Did you get an e-mail from Apple Ireland today? My e-mail said DDP UK, which I think means delivery duty paid. Maybe it's in Ireland? i'd like that
I got an email on the 17th, saying my order had been shipped. No tracking info available though.
I just rang UPS again, and got a completely different story to when I rang this morning. This morning the woman said that it was on its way from Shanghai, the tracking info just hadn't been updated yet. Now though, it hasn't left Shanhai at all. Until the airspace is cleared they will not be leaving Shanghai, or using any alternative routes. Thanks UPS.
