Shipped?

[heels98]

IT'S HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My 15" BTO arrived this morning around 10:30, or about an hour after Final Cut Express arrived on a different FedEx truck. This thing is awesome! Later!

 

[efoto]

They have said the 10th on mine as well...but the tracking still shows mine leaving Alaska last Sunday but not arriving anywhere. Let's hope it's wrong.

~Your Brother in Tear Mopping

Mine has finally left Kentucky! Its about friggin time, its been here or there for ages it seems. I really would not be all that flustered if UPS had not changed it to the 8th. I was quite excited and was eagerly awaiting everything. I had made sure the entire night was free to play with it....nothing

Oh well, today is almost over and tomorrow is no longer than any other day, so even if it is the very end of the business day, I WILL HAVE IT tomorrow. Hear me UPS man, I WILL HAVE IT!!

Depart Terminal LONDON, GL, GB 09 Feb 2005 08:47

Could I be getting it today? Come on Mr. TNT driver where are you!

I had to leave the office at 4 o'clock this afternoon. They tried to deliver at 4:30. Bugger, it's gone back to the depot.

TNT normally come in the morning to deliver and in the afternoon to collect, why to they have to be different for my laptop. I'm now not in the office until next week. Bugger, bugger, bugger!#@!@!#!

yayyeeaahh..okay!...i should be getting my 12incher any minute now...
anyways..interesting how they flew straight from alaska to kentucky instead of cali...KY must be centrally located within their network or something...

Louisville is UPS' hub, for the most part, everything goes in or out of there. Although it would make sense to have a west coast flight from Alaska to CA, WA, etc, the cost and logistics would be formidable.

UPS told me this morning that mine will be delivered tomorrow! YAYYYYYY!!!!!!

How do you know the expected delivery date?

Where do you see the expected delivery date. I have all the emails, but none say expected delivery date of xx/xx/xx? Can someone help me out a bit? I ordered on 2/5 and have received everything but my 12" PB stock... Thanks for the help.

The expected delivery date is from the shipping company's tracking information. Apple only gives you the expected shipping date. Once your PB ships and you have a tracking number, you should be able to use it to find your expected delivery date.

At least, I know both FedEx and UPS provide it.

If it's coming in via UPS, the delivery date probably won't show up until after it clears customs in the US. If it is in the US already then you'll probably have it within a day or two. The best thing is to call UPS and talked to a human being, that's what I did and I how I found out when it would be delivered.

I strongly second this one. Calling UPS on the phone is worlds better than dealing with the information that is provided via internet tracking. They always now when it will be delivered to you (roughly of course) well before they post it online. I called the day after I ordered it because online it said there was a customs holdup still in China. I just wanted to see what was happening so I called, nice guy answers and informs me that it is out of China, left 2.x hours ago and is on its way. Estimated delivery date of the 10th. He told me this on the morning of the 6th when the internet still displayed customs issues through midday of the seventh!!

Anyway, mine hit Wyoming, MI as of 9xxpm on the 9th, so I know it will be here tomorrow sometime. I just hope it gets the morning route instead of the afternoon.

Any moment my tears and sorrow will flow anew as tears of joy!

Haha. Congrats. Why did you have to order it? There isnt much bto options on the new 12 inch. Just curious.

I assume you mean order it opposed to go to an Apple Store and pick it up right? Well normally I live on the west side of Michigan where the closest Apple store is Chicago (roughly 3.5 hours away). At school on the east side of MI I simply did not look into the fact that there are two Apple Stores each 1 hour away.

I guess my excitment took hold of my thinking, clouded the fact that I could have had it last week even! Oh well, its out for delivery now, so all is well that ends well right?

 

[efoto]

FINALLY!

It is here! I have class though (moral dilemma??)

Argh! I guess I will go to class and let it become accustomed to my apartment's climate before messing with it. I really hated this class before, I really REALLY hate this class now

 

[efoto]

There are paint chips on it!!!!

OMG, this day cannot get any good/worse than it is right now. I called up Apple and they are not being very helpful at all. They basically told me I can send it back and then purchase another one, or I can deal with it, or.....they aren't helping much

I think I heard it fly over me....

IMPORT SCAN

12" BTO Powerbook... Monday I'm hoping providing she has her passport all ready...

 

[Ugg]

Woohooooo!! My 12" arrived at 230 pm today. I love it. It is so snappy in comparison to my iMac G3 400 Mhz. The screen is great too, no more glare from that CRT.

 

[SilentPanda]

Sweet! The UPS web site says tomorrow... I'm still keeping my spirits up for a Monday delivery in case it doesn't get delivered tomorrow... but... hopefully... I'm even staying home from work (I can work from home so no big deal)... although any time I've stayed home from work they deliver at like 7pm... but if I'm at work... 11am... *sigh*

 

[dxm113]

SWEET!

Eventhough many others have had their PB orders delayed. . .my PB has somehow shipped on time. . .can't wait for it to get here!!!!!!!

ordered 2/3/05 (9:30 AM PST)
shipped 2/10/05 (10:18 PM PST)

They are going to redeliver it today. Yippee. I specifically asked it be delivered in the morning so I can be here.

I managed to find out that in the London area, the laptops are sent out from Hounslow not your local TNT centre. That is where the international shipment are sent out from. Hounslow is miles away from me, so I could not collect it myself.

HTH.

 

[skp574]

It's arrived!!!!

Just signed for it!!

Let's unpack it and have a play. Damn got to do a days work first! Bummer.

Please start a 12" Rev 4 review thread-- I've been waiting for one and all I've seen so far is Chrispy's 15" thread that ended in disaster (screen problems).

SIDE NOTE: Has anyone who bought a NON-STOCK IE:BUILT TO ORDER 17" PB gotten theirs?

Feel good. My order got bumped from the 7th to the 23rd and now to the 28th.

Two options, sit on my hands or join video shooter and throwing "poo??".

 

[efoto]

Just wanted to say thank you to everyone at the Novi, Twelve Oaks Mall Apple Store! They were very helpful and friendly.

Anyone who lives near there shop with confidence, good people. Exchanged my paint-chipped PB without a second thought (web ordered).

Thanks.
