My delivery date is still missing, although clicking on the In Transit link it says it "should be delivered on the scheduled delivery date" (i.e. tomorrow).

There was an 'EXCEPTION' message in the early hours this morning (about 5am) so I suspect we missed a flight, but hopefully there is still time to catch up.

My departure scan is 1:32 and it says still on time for 19th
 
Apple finally debited my credit card yesterday, that's one less thing to worry about.

My flight is estimated to arrive at LHR from Amsterdam on 18-Dec-2012 21:50:00 GMT.

Hope I get it sooner than Apple's estimated delivery for 21st Dec.

Those 44 ton planes with no wings and 18 wheels are somewhat sluggish. :)

Your iMac is on a truck from AMS to LHR - the code is "RFS" for Road Feeder Service. Air freight code for "not on an aircraft, but moving to a new place".

I'm sure you will see the same as i saw this morning, the early flight was delayed (for some reason) but it arrived to destination, means that once UPS updates your status you will see the delayed status and the arraival to the UK this morning and that you will receive it during the day of tomorrow.

I got another update to my delivery, from delivers during the day to, delivers at the end of the day (i am guessing that it changed becasue of the delay of that flight this morning), they might pushed back a little everythig in the queue.
 
Fingers crossed its perfect... I am running out of things to do while waiting for the delivery... Wrapping done...

Might put batman on... That will kill 3 hours lol

You can watch lord of the rings trilogy extended version. I'm sure that will burn some hours. :)
 
Mine is the same. Was scheduled for delivery on the 19th. When I check Apples tracking it says "in transit to customer - shipment delayed"

Mine too! Departed Germany at 3.40am and delivery date of 19th removed from UPS site. Doesn't show any delivery date now. Worried about this 'delay' although Apples tracking does still state estimated delivery of 19th (subject to change).

Just seem a long time to have departed from Germany and not be showing as arrived in uk yet.

Aaah, thanks for the correction. :rolleyes:

I think it either missed the original flight and went on the next one OR it missed the original flight and went by road.

Either way I expect we will still get our deliveries tomorrow. I am sure we will see an update sometime soon.
 
Planes can't land between 12-6 in the UK. I expect it came in about 8am and will be processed today fr delivery tommorow.
 
Aaah, thanks for the correction. :rolleyes:

I noticed the time and realised we were in the same shipment. The plane came in from PVD yesterday on time and presumably the merge happened in AMS, which finished at 20:45 GMT (email confirmation from Apple that it had left them), which makes sense since the tracking update on expeditors shows a "confirmed on board" at 21:50 Euro time.

Now just have to wait for the truck to get to LHR, clear customs and hand off to the UK delivery service.

It's getting closer!
 
Well my iMac was delivered to consignee according to Expeditors.com yesterday at 15.51 (it's merging with a Superdrive), but no tracking number or company given on Apple's order tracking page yet. Frustrating!

How long did it take anyone else who had a merged order before tracking info was available for the final delivery?

I'm still pretty confident that our deliveries will arrive tomorrow. I think it is only a minor delay.

I would hope so. Even if they were still in Germany right now there is plenty of time to get them here and out for delivery tomorrow. Still holding on to the hope of getting my hands on the beast tomorrow for sure.

I can't take many more excited sleepless nights!
 
I think my iMac touches down at Heathrow this evening at about 18:00 GMT. iMac is then merged with a couple of products. Can anyone advise how long it will take to deliver to me in the north west of England?
 
Mine made the earlier flight for some reason:

Mine is due to be delivered at some point today! Fingers crossed!

I note on the UPS tracking information that there are 3 packages to be delivered. One will be the iMac, another the SuperDrive I ordered, but I'm not sure what the 3rd is. I did order AppleCare also (have already had certificate from Apple on this)....... But will I still get something for this (waste of a box and paper!) which would explain the 3rd package??
