Arrived in Cologne 4:56PM 12/16/2012 club

All people with iMacs in Germany, this is Mazakii's tracking info;
Castle Donnington, United Kingdom 12/15/2012 4:23 A.M. Arrival Scan
Koeln, Germany 12/15/2012 4:08 A.M. Departure Scan

As you can see, his iMac arrived in Castle Donnington a mere 15 minutes after leaving Cologne. Clearly, they are not scanning them out. Our iMacs are surely in the UK now. I can smell it

Don't forget there is a 1hr time difference between Germany and the UK, and a flight from Cologne to the Midlands takes less than an hour in the air.

But I agree some other orders have not had Koeln Departure scans so they could be on their way.

It's going to be busy on here on Wednesday when all these (hopefully) show as 'Out for delivery' :)
 
Anyone else got 'Delivery scheduled by final carrier, see estimated delivery date' on their Apple shipping info, but no details on who the carrier is or any carrier-specific tracking numbers?

Expeditors shows my iMac as being delivered to the final destination, but I've not got any details on the final carrier!

My delivery date is still the same as it always has been (Dec 20th), however it changed (very briefly - I'm talking all of one page refresh) to the 19th about an hour ago.
 
So having been "Delivery Date: Dec 20" since it shipped on the 13th (apart from five minutes this afternoon when it slipped to 21st), what I was worried would happen when they arrived in the UK yesterday has indeed happened. UPS are now delivering it tomorrow - the only day this week when I'm not at home - when not only will I not be in, but I won't get home until after 19:30 and so probably won't be able to reschedule the delivery for anything before the 20th.

Still, at least that's when I first expected it, right?

I've had the same delivery date of the 20th since it shipped on the 13th, but I can't seem to get any tracking from UPS. Is it the PO Number, the Delivery Reference Number or the Additional Order Number?

Used the Delivery Reference Number with Expeditors, but it has stopped at "Delivered to Consignee", which I imagine is Apple because it wasn't me.

I've got the exact same message :confused:

Yeah its strange, maybe they are just using the max time range they have for delivery "on time" to pack up the plane with the maximum amount of packages they can so they dont waste the fligh for nothing, thats my guess!!! either way, 2 or 3 days in Germany doesnt matter if their delivery schedule is still "on time"

No, i think the 3 days are because of the weekend...
Expected on 19, delivered today... TNT suprised me...

Assuming you're with UPS, go here - http://www.ups.com/WebTracking/track?loc=en_GB&WT.svl=PriNav , select Track by Reference (not the deafault of Track by Number) and enter your 82 number as the Shipment Reference.
 
sucks

I ordered my BTO on the 30th and still watching a order for the 2nd - 8th Januray

I have phoned apple 5 times and each time they can't believe some people in the UK have orders already shipped

SUCKs
 
Can anyone make sense of my tracking info?

Ordered 8:30am on Nov 30th, going to Isle of Man. I've ordered Applecare, so will it go to a hub before making it to me?

Some people!? I seems like the majority of orders placed on the first day have been shipped by now and many after the 30th too.

But you, me and some others are the unlucky ones.

I called Apple today as well but they gave me the old 3-4 weeks line.

Does not seem at all fair that that first come first served policy is not being put to good effect at all.

If it's not at least preparing for shipment by the end of tomorrow I don't know what I'll do.

Yeah, Epeditors seem to be responsible just for getting big crates of iMacs to the UK, not for the "last mile" delivery. So any date you see on their site is for your iMac being delivered to Apple or a UK carrier. Delivery to you will likely be within 48 hours of that date.
