How did you manage to get a free DisplayPort-DVI adapter?

Apple screwed up my order several times.... so each time they screwed, I called and get something,....

1st: free mini DisplayPort
2nd: $100 off
3rd: free remote

Haha,.... don't u loved being "Screwed"? :D

Any clue where my shipment might be flying off to? I live in Wisconsin, obviously :p I'm thinking Chicago? I'd like to track my flight as well.. *cough*

Nice! Too bad they didn't screw up my order. I could use a DisplayPort adapter.
 
I hope you're wrong. I think mine is on this flight directly to LA

http://flightaware.com/live/flight/KAL213

It departed at 2:29 and the last update on mine said it left Anchorage at 2:39 so I'm hoping it's on there. If not maybe this flight http://flightaware.com/live/flight/AAR284 which left at 2:57. Either way, I care far too much about this and I need to go do something else.

I dont think it would be on either one of those flights. Neither of them are Fedex Flights. Not sure why it would say it left that early.. but maybe it went through the scanners early... then waited for the later Flight. The flight headed to Oakland will then continue on to LA and arrive around 2am. Should be out for delivery for us tomorrow. (i hope)
 
ok, someone help me with this one...so I am in Oregon, It arrived in Ankorage today, I just checked my status and my package is in Indianapolis with a status that says International Shipment release.....why the f*** if its coming to Oregon would it go to Indianapolis????

I'm in Oregon also. I've seen the same thing in the past. Basically things go to central hubs where they get distributed to their final destinations. Don't worry this is normal, should be getting it relatively soon.
 
yea i thought about the central hub, but then i saw that people who were say california, theres went from ankorage to oakland.
 
From what I saw on the FedEx flight schedule, there were only three cities (I think) that Anchorage was shipping from that were FedEx-specific. One of them happened to be in California :p
 
i'm livin' in san francisco... mine seems to have gone from anchorage, AK to indianapolis, IN :(

does that mean it's in transit to the Oakland Airport or SFO? (hopefully?!)?
 
How long does it usually take for Apple to update the carrier details? The website says up to 24h, but I've waited around 36 now.

Quoted myself here, I know.
I still get the "In transit to final destination - carrier details to be updated shortly"-message, and we're now close to 60 hours past shipment. Should I be worried something went wrong?

Apples site still says:
"It may take up to 24 hours for shipment tracking information to be updated on our carriers' web sites."
 
Just about to get shipped

UPS said they just received electronic request for shipment

MBP 2.8/128SSD/Applecare

Wait has been painful, ordered on 20th took 11 days to build

In retrospect a stock 2.53/320 may have been better? It seems 2.8GHZ adds little and 128SSD is not that much faster than regular 7200.320HD?

Any thoughts?
 
Mine left at 4am which means it's either on flight FDX1705 to Oakland or FDX1750 to LA. It's hard to say which flight yours is on because it's not even 4:38 in Indianapolis yet. It's probably going to Oakland though.

see, that's exactly what i figured, too. i'm not sure how the timezones on the sight work exactly, but i'm pretty sure i figured it out.

donno' why they would ship it to LA first, bleh!

would make the most sense saying it left on the FDX1705 that departed exactly @ 4:02am and is scheduled for arrival @ Oakland International 3 hours and 53 minutes later.. fingers crossed! :D
 
"unitethenations" above claims to be in the same boat as me, though he/she hasn't given details about configuration.

Having called three reps, there's nothing else I can do. The delivery estimate on their page is and has always been Oct 27-Nov 5, so unless I don't have it by Nov 5, they'll just keep telling me that I have nothing to complain about, in particular not "rumors" of other people getting theirs earlier. The problem is, they simply don't care. Even if I gave them 10 order numbers that were placed after mine but have arrived, I bet they still wouldn't care. I think the company is just doing too well at this point, so they can afford not caring.

So Macbook123 do you have any updates on your situation??

Hey I ordered on 18th. Still stuck in thick, confused tracking system but that's customs for ya! I ordered a baseline mbp so it makes no difference. The only difference made is where you live eg; us, europe, australia...
 
I don't think that my order made it onto JTPRO's flight to anchorage (I had the FEDEX cutoff message). Does anyone know when the next flight is leaving/when it'll be expected to reach the US?
 
Woo!!! Mine is on its way to delivery for 10:30am! About an hour! It also seems to have switched weight from kg to lb in the process :p I'll definitely let you guys know how that goes. Hopefully it doesn't get stuck in campus mail!

If yours is still in Shanghai, it should leave to Anchorage on FDX90 or FDX24. Should arrive in Anchorage around 1-2pm AKDT. Mine did the same.. ended up sitting almost a day in Shanghai waiting for the flight on the following day.
 
I am hoping to get another update soon saying it arrived to the local distribution center and is on its way to me... *crosses fingers*
