Mine is also done with customs and is "Ready for Delivery". Hopefully Apple will come pick it up soon and get the merge done.
Mine's just changed to that now too
When did you guys' shipments arrive at LHR?
I think we need our own UK only spreadsheet so we can see if apple is indeed shipping out orders bang on time according to the delivery dates or shipping them a week or 2 early.
They're definitely shipping earlier than initial estimates. Remains to be seen whether they arrive earlier than the "updated" dates I think
Apple's order page now has a UPS tracking number
UPS says:
A UPS shipping label has been created. Once the shipment arrives at our facility, the tracking status--including the scheduled delivery date--will be updated.
Apple is keeping the estimated delivery date as 3/07
Mine is part of : 8208409675

Very odd, mine was on the same flight, yet it's still stuck in customs.
Pull your finger out HMRC!!

My initial estimate was 12th-18th July, and it shipped on Friday. New estimate is 6th July
Ordered base 2.3GHz with 16GB of ram using the education discount on the 15th of June. Preparing for shipping today
This is the same configuration I ordered! Here's hoping that shipping status updates soon (I was originally quoted 20th - 26th July). Perhaps next week, I'll hear something.
I second the other suggestion that we set up a UK-specific spreadsheet. I've not really used Google docs much, but would gladly contribute to a sheet someone else created. Good luck to all with their wait!

I ordered exactly the same machine on the 15th with edu discount too. Not shipped yet, but my order was created towards the end of the 15th so hopefully I will see movement either end of today or tomorrow.
With how popular the base model is with the 16gb upgrade it would be very good for Apple to have this as an option for purchases in store as it would sell like hot cakes I reckon.
Those of you with the student gift card, does the MacBook and gift card get merged at London Heathrow (LHR)? and then on to your local hub?
Gets taken somewhere else to be merged, then from there to your local hub.
right thank you mate. How long did yours take from arriving at LHR to being delivered?
Since we're shipping buddies, I thought I should add that I'm in exactly the same position

I'm getting more and more angry every time I looker the expo page. lol.
Big surprise that as soon as the process gets into the hands of the public sector, it grinds to a shuddering halt.
I don't even know where mine is any more!
So it's currently on a flight from China and will arrive in Frankfurt today at 5pm, then on to London tomorrow at 4pm? Meaning it won't clear customs till the next day....?
Or is the China flight not showing an arrival and it leaves Frankfurt today at 5? I dunno.

I was quoted 3rd - 9th July for a BTO 2.7/16/512 and it arrived on 28/06. So between 5 and 11 days early!!
Very happy! Good luck with yours!

Yours has arrived in Frankfurt already (the arrival is missing from the tracker) and will leave Frankfurt at 5pm CEST time to head to London via cargo truck.

I'm on the same flight as you. I think I worked out that it's already landed in Germany...maybe.
[E] ^Yeah what he said!
Mines been on Ready for Delivery since 10:51am this morning - Does anyone know when or how long it will take to be delivered to Apple's merging depot? Thanks
