Tiger actually arriving on friday 29th?

I pre-ordered Tiger within the first minute of it becoming available on apple.com.au, had to press refresh a lot. ;) When I ordered it my order said for delivery on or before the 29th, now that I finally got a shipment confirmation the confirmation email says 1 to 5 days delivery. I can't say I'm too impressed with this. I thought my order was coming via courier, why would it take 5 days unless they are posting it?

Anyway if it doesn't turn up tomorrow I wont bother pre-ordering anything from Apple Australia again, not after pre-ordering iLife '05 after the keynote and having to wait 2 weeks after it turned up in shops for delivery.

My pakadge has shipped form Middletown, PA :)and it is on its way to New York City baby
 
My (update) order in the UK still says 'processing' but as a test I re-ordered another copy (a full price one this time). Within an hour, my new order now says 'preparing shipment' but my original order (placed back on the 16th) still says 'processing.'

Guess I'll be cancelling that original order then. Wonder why Apple weren't shipping that first?

Don't panic, I've often found the same thing. Even when apple says it has shipped TNT do not start tracking until it has worked its way through their depot and been allocated for delivery. This can an hour to half a day. It would appear they are using an overnight service so if your order has been shipped by apple you should get it tomorrow.
We probably don't live that far apart so I cannot imagine if one of us gets it the other won't. Fingers crossed!!!

If by update you mean the upgrade disks (for those who bought a machine after the 10.4 announcment) they seem to be the last to go. My Panther upgrade disks for my G5 took 3 weeks to ship and that was after the general release of 10.3.

Hey,

Thanks for the update, just checked again and now I'm showing on TNT site, currently allocated for delivery - so guess I'll be watching for the orange truck guy tomorow - glad I've got the day off work as is should be tigeriffic!!!
 
Still "Allocated for Delivery", does this mean they have it somewhere in a depot in the UK? Or does it mean it is on its way over to a TNT depot?

Heya mate!

Well, it shipped today! :)

So, I can expect it to arrive before the weekend! YES! :cool:
 
Mine shows as in process for the last three days, and I too, ordered it seconds after the announcement.

I got a bad feeling about this. :rolleyes:
 
S.O.L. for Mid-Atlantic States?

It would seem that those of us who are counting on a Tiger shipment BY 4/29 from the distribution point that serves PA, MD, etc. are S.O.L. (I'm in PA)

My order says that it shipped on 4/27 @6:30 a.m. but wasn't picked up until 12:30 p.m. on 4/28. Initially Fedex said that it would be delivered on Friday by 4:30 p.m., but they now say I will receive it on 5/2 by 4:30 p.m.

Perhaps I'll just try to find a copy elsewhere and refuse the shipment from Apple when it finally arrives.

I really hope you're wrong. I'm also in PA and mine hasn't even shipped yet. I'm going to be royally pissed if Apple drops the ball on this. I pre-ordered and was promised delivery by the 29th, not May 2nd. Apple screwed up my Mac Mini order too, same exact situation. Unfortunately I really have no choice since I can get edu pricing and the $60 discount is too much to just give up.

*UGH*
 
I hope I'm wrong too, but...

There are four users on this page alone who are all in the same distribution area.

I hope Apple gets it act together. NOW.

It seems as though other areas of the United States are doing just fine. In fact taking delivery early.

Anyone else in PA, MD, NY, NJ, DE in the same boat?

Yeah mine is also shipping....but i cant play with it...koninginnedag!!Need to party :D :D

PS: 400th post!!!! 100 to go
 
In Vancouver, Canada and in the same vote. "Processing Order" and it still says it will ship by 04/28/2005.
 
I seem to have gotten mine today regardless of FedEX's saying 4:30 on Friday. no matter, I have a video project that needs to be finished before any installation of an operating system. I have to clean out my fonts too... fun times.
 
Answer from apple about late delivery

The other day I thought that buddha had helped to bring tiger early to me but that was my ILife order.

After crying for 20 minutes i rechecked my order and got the FEDEX tracking info for tiger and it said that i would receive tiger on Friday and then when i looked today it also changed to MAY 2nd.

So i JUST (5 minutes ago) called Apple and they said to ignore the FEDEX tracking info that all orders that were placed before the 26th still should be received TOMORROW. So we will see, apple also said that if i didnt receive tiger tomorrow to call them.
