Shipped!?

Mine switched from backordered to shipped within the last hour or so. It says ship date 8/30.

I guess I'll stop complaining now.
 
Mine is due to arrive tomorrow. I need to go outside and check the mailbox.

ETA: Just checked my mailbox and it was there. :)

Dude me too. I think we have the same UTD Package or something. Does your method say INTERNATIONAL? idk what that means but if it's USPS it should ship on September 1st (tomorrow) I guess I can stop complaining too! Sucks I cant track it though. I still love apple. :apple::apple::apple:
 
Apple shipped mine last Friday with a September 1 due date. Arrived and installed today. Nice surprise. First Class from California to Maine in one weekend.
 
My kitties are here today, finally.

Up to date disc arrived today too here, in Québec City, Québec, Canada!

Edit: I received it from FedEx. Apple Store website told it was shipped through USPS.
 
okay, so now we know two definite things:

1. most people got their DVDs a day before they'd expected.

and

2. Apple still was able to deliver before their initial launch date of Sept.

-and just think, all this whining here and there and for what? to my knowledge, I have not heard of any deaths directly linked to this particular event.

gee, imagine that. :rolleyes:
 
WooHoo!

My kitties are here today, finally.

So thats what the UTD disc/package looks like! DUH! The reason why we all have a later ship date is because it's a whole different package! (I also think it has to do with CTO and special Mac part numbers that need special coding) whatever. I'm happy to see my status change from Backordered to shipped in one night. :apple::apple::apple:
 
My UTD disc was supposed to arrive tomorrow but I got my disc today. Doing a fresh install now and so far I haven't had any problems.
 
"international" shipment?

I did some research on the apple website and it might mean international as in international 2-3 day shipping. If thats the case, i'm pissed. if that box isn't in the mail today im going to FLIP. Still, it should come by next week under any circumstance so i wont be really mad. As long as I get it before the middle of september, apple has kept their promise:cool:
 
Strange, I'm in California where it supposed to ship from,
but nothing in my mailbox today?

same, live in california. i dont see the point of "international" shipping lol. its coming from like indiana or something, not ****ing taiwan

wow that was racist. But still, I know what you mean. I live in michigan so I should have had it like last week if it shipped on the 28th. :cool:
 
I'll just put in my 2 cents here..

I pre-ordered mine on Aug. 14, the shipping date was always set to "Ships in September"

When they updated the release date to August 28th, the shipping date changed to "Ships on August 28th"

They didnt update anything at all until the 29th, when it said "Shipped on the 29th" with a delivery date of September 2nd, but I received it in the mail today (the 31st)
 
Here's Apple's response to those who actually DESERVE Snow Leopard TODAY who bought a new Mac since announcement of Up To Date... F@CK YOU and your $10!

I get an email today saying my SL disk went out via Postal Mail today. And everyone that ordered SL for $29 GOT IT TODAY.

So screw ME who paid $2k for a new computer!!! And praise to the person that spent $29 for SL.

How wrong is this??? I am really sick of Apple's *****! It never ends... FU if we already have your money! FU if you spent $2k. FU FU FU...

I hope Apple's sales DROP. I hope SL is a flop. I hope Apple loses money next year. Then it will be forced to start giving a crap about its customers again. It didn't used to be this way. Apple now has an FU attitude from sales, to support, to shipping products, to etc. They just don't care if they already got my money...

I hope Windows 7 rebounds Microsoft and makes Apple need to compete! Honestly, this situation has gotten this bad because Apple is arrogant and cocky! It has too much money, and too many fanboys like ME!

I am really frustrated with Apple. I think its build quality has gone to crap. I think its customer service is worse than EVER. I think it's going to take some failures and downturn for Apple for it to realize how wrong it has been treating its core customers!

UTD SL copies should have been NUMBER ONE PRIORITY! We should have got them before available in the store! This is really shame on Apple...

Wow, someones a spoiled brat. Your argument is illogical.

"So screw ME who paid $2k for a new computer!!! And praise to the person that spent $29 for SL."

Guess what buddy, the people who payed $29 dollars for a SL also payed 2k or whatever for the system they are installing it on. Matter of fact, us, UTD buyers payed almost $20 dollars less to upgrade and by your "logic" they are more "deserving" Your whole sense of entitlement is that of an egocentric infant.

And talk about throwing the baby out with the bathwater. You want an OS which you are going to allegedly use to fail? Thats like me saying i hope my doctor fails during my heart surgery just because he performed it a day later then i wanted him or her to, despite him or her having no obligation to do so.

I have no idea why you feel microsoft needs to rebound.... they still hold something like 90% of the market share.... but hey i use both windows and OS X so i hope they both continue to improve as they are both far from perfect. As for the twos respective customer service, ill take apple customer service over microsoft anyday.

It's a matter of principle! Actually, I got a FedEx package with Snow Leopard TODAY! AND I was originally confused, but my Mom had known it was coming out and pre-ordered it for me as a gift for giving her a new computer.

But the point is Apple should have thought enough of its customers who bought $1000 plus systems (in my case $2000) and promised them SL. It doesn't matter that they didn't promise UTD customers they would receive it today... it's a matter of principle, Apple gets its money and forgets about you. Apple can get $29 from someone else and treats them like royalty!

This is WRONG!

And Snow Leopard is somewhat of a joke too... no default 64-bit kernel! No drivers for people that bought Macs within the last three years that are 64-bit capable! It's an all around attitude of arrogance and disrespect for money already spent. More than that, it's a decision meant to try to get MORE SALES! I believe Apple priced it at $29 to entice people to get it then realize they couldn't get 64-bit kernel and would decide to upgrade to a new model Mac. I really believe that is why they did this with both the drivers and kernel! Look at all the people complaining or wondering why their Mac will not boot into 64-bit kernel! It doesn't matter that the apps are 64-bit...

Windows 7 is better in 64-bit than SNOW LEOPARD! I am an Apple fanboy, but honestly I see Windows 7 running in 64-bit on these same Macs, when people cannot get SL to run true 64-bit... that's WRONG!

This whole thing has been a big disappointment to me. It doesn't matter that I am happy with my Mac, as I am disappointed with the company I trusted. Again and again Apple fails us all! And we keep puting up with it!

This post explained so much. You didnt spend 2k on your computer, your mom did.... you are the spoiled brat i thought you were. I dont know why you feel the 2k you spent on your system is somehow more deserving of an update than those who spent 2k on their system prior to the UTD program and were forced to pay $29.

You seem to have an affinity for windows and i dont blame you, its a great OS and if you are truly that unhappy with apple and SL, why not just stop moaning and complaining and use windows, im sure Apple is not a gang and thus its not "blood in and blood out."


Sheesh, all this because you didnt get your disk the day it came out when you werent even promised that...

What was the point of a pre order

Wow, this is ridiculous I ordered SL 1 month ago, Apple said delivered by Sept 1st, which I found disturbing considering I could have bought it Aug 28 in the store. Today Sept 1st the mail came and to no surprise there was no SL, when I called Apple they said wait 10 more days and then call us back (top notch customer service, glad we resolved that). So, now I'm off to best buy to get SL like I should have done on the 28. Best of luck.
