I went to the apple store and they fixed the problem so now it's no problems at all (except the occasional trackpad not registering a click) so I am BEYOND IMPRESSED =)

I thought we were talking about being beyond impressed with FedEx, not Apple? :p Sounds like everybody wins.

Geez aren't you picky! I'm beyond impressed with everybody ok? Even though I am probably more impressed with FedEx because I didn't think it would be possible to ship a computer from China-Alaska-Indiana-Oakland-Los Angeles and then get it to my door all within 48 hours.

Thats great to hear! I would really like to hear what they did? Just whole new cover or what? Mine is great as well.... only thing I am struggling to get used to is the trackpad and its CLICK. It is a little on the loud side... but i think that is typical. I have been using "tap to click" which works.

Well my new status is "at local fedex facility" which is two hours away from here..... but hopefully this means it will be delivered tomorrow!!!
 
my laptop was scanned leaving Indiana at 4:38am this morning. what do you guys think my odds are in me getting it on Monday instead of Tuesday as planned by FedEx?

I live in Orlando, FL.

Depends on how long it takes to get from the Indiana Hub to the local fedex station, + delivery time from there.

I don't know how long that takes but I'm guessing < 6 hours, so your chances are high.
 
Ok now mine is in Springfield which is like 10 minuets from Eugne...if they do not delieve it to me today, I am going to be pissed.

Phone fedex. Mine has been two hours away from me since 6am, but they said it would not be delivered on saturday unless the company I ordered from requested it.
 
It finally shipped.

For all those who were interested in how the story of my super-delayed MBP developed, it shipped today.

Well since mine arrived in Oakland last night, I would've half-figured it could've easily been delivered to me today (I live in downtown San Francisco), however, FedEx SUCKS and my mbp is somewhere between Oakland and San Francisco, which are about 10 to 15 minutes apart, and it's 3PM and the status hasn't changed. Wow FedEx.... really??

They aren't delivering these on Saturdays so you won't be seeing it until Monday. Sorry man

really?? that suuuucks! what is the reason for them not delivering them on Saturdays? to me that seems really... lame, for lack of a better word :rolleyes:
 
From what I've been told, FedEx only delivers on Saturdays when it's requested and it costs significantly more. I could be wrong but I haven't seen anybody getting their package on a Saturday from FedEx on here. Hope I'm wrong though and your laptop is on it's way.
