steve.

Yup, all of ours are afraid. I really, really want it Monday. :(

Keep posting here people... is a nice thread to come and look at, rofl.
 
Here's my PowerBook's weekend itinerary... looks like a pretty exciting trip to me. The Mississauga depot is about 40 minutes from my house, so I'm guessing it's gonna sit on a truck until Monday morning and then make its way to my house. I may hug the driver... I'm not sure yet. The strange thing is the estimated delivery time is Feb 8, 2005 by 12:00 pm... hope that's wrong.

2:50 pm - Left FedEx Origin Location - SHANGHAI CN

The funny thing is that my AppleCare shipped (via Sameday) 3 days before the notebook and I can't even track it on Sameday's web site. I called Sameday and they said they are expecting a huge Apple delivery this weekend and all of the tracking numbers will be updated by Monday or Tuesday. Makes me glad the notebook shipped Fedex... there's something to be said for the amount of information provided.

Same. :D *watches his Powerbook box poke steve's powerbook box*
 
Ordered mine today.

Superbowl Sunday.

Ordered my 15" Superdrive BTO with 100GB HDD this afternoon.
Shipping on or before Feb. 22. Ouch.
I wonder why the sudden kick in shipping.
Looks like you people that ordered before got yours sent out quickly.

Well, alas. Until then I will play in Photoshop. :p
I'll just send creepy hints to people.
That should at least explain why I will be so agitated this week...
waiting quite impatiently.

Come on iWork, to tide me over for a while. ;)

Mine's still stuck in China too. What no planes?

Is this just restricted to European orders?

Apple saleman said to me on the telephone that I would get it in a week. I ordered on 31th Jan. It should be delivered today. Yeah right. I'm wondering whether it has actually shipped at all?

Maybe the plane is waiting on the runway, waiting for all the backlog of PBs to get there?!?!

Yeah, mine hasn't moved since thursday. I really thought that I would have got it Monday (today).
Hoping they update the status today - to say that it arrived in Europe.

Can't wait to get my first Mac !
 
I'm thinking about placing an order for a 20" iMac BTO. Maybe they can have a race to see which one get to my doorstep first! :D

I wouldn't be surprised if the iMac gets here first!

Last night (2/3/05) I ordered a 12" Powerbook, SuperDrive, 100 GB HD, and 768 MB RAM (cheaper than installing it myself)... supposed to ship on or before 2/15/05.

Just got my shipment notification this morning! Not in the system yet though so I don't know the expected arrival date. Shipped via UPS though.

Sorry if mine held up everybody elses... but she had to have her memory tweaked and her storage expanded while still fitting into her tiny tiny frame.

My estimated delivery is Wednesday morning. I am hoping it gets here tomarrow. Cause it could deffinetly get to NJ today. And ona truck tomarrow.
 
^ yeah, i think a delivery date of tomorrow is definitely doable. i hope it gets here soon, cause i cant sleep anymore! seriously...i'm such a geek :p

if we study admitterpcuser's post from earlier on this page, we see that his package arrived in memphis shortly after midnight, and he received it the same day! our little guys arrived around 3am so hoping for delivery tomorrow is not that far fetched...

I went to the Regent Street Shop and picked up a 20" iMac with 512MB RAM/160GB HD, APE, BT, BT KB and Mouse, they had them already configured out the back. They just had to put in the APE card, which took 30 minutes.

Were they reading my mind????! Anyway, I now have a Mac in the back of my car waiting to get home to be played with!

Dearly beloved PB, if you can hear me. Take as long as you like, I have my iMac to play with now! :D

9:31 am - On FedEx vehicle for delivery - SCARBOROUGH CA
8:04 am - Arrived at FedEx Destination Location - SCARBOROUGH CA

by the way, is yours being shipped ups or fedex?? mine is UPS..

Mine is also UPS, odd that there are so many Fedex shipments and a couple outlier UPS ones. I hope UPS takes the same care (haha, a shipping company actually taking care is H-I-Larious) as Fedex does.

Mine is set to be delivered on the Feb 10, Thurs. I called UPS over the weekend because it said it was stuck in customs export in CN. Whateva :p

Edit: Just checked again and its been rescheduled!!!
Resched. Delivery: Feb 8, 2005

Awesome, PB Tomorrow!

I live in an apartment complex whilst at school so as long as it gets here before 5pm the office signs for it and I go pick it up there. Usually Fedex and UPS deliver once in the morning and then around 3 based on our location to the pickups I guess, so hopefully all operates as expected and I can get this prior to the office closing.
