weirdly, the note at the bottom of my apple order page that told me everything had to be merged has gone!? not sure why...

I think I have the same. I'm sure it said 'merge in transit' a few days ago. This is now gone.

Edit: Nope, still there. Just on a drop down list when you click 'edit delivery'
 
Mine hasn't cleared customs at heathrow yet, does anyone know if it is just the expo page not updating or is it really going to take over a day to clear (it got there at 9am this morning). any help is appreciated
 
ahah! it's because I've now got a tracking no! about 1 day after expo stated it was all done.

mine got stuck over the weekend, but took a day to clear, then about half a day to say it had been delivered (to apple) another day for ups tracking to appear. not sure how that differs for others.

ups states: "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."

oh, and apples page has bumped my delivery date from the 6th to the 4th!?

no way!
 
Finally got a ups tracking number.... And my delivery date has been changed from 6th....

To tomorrow!!! I am quite pathetically happy! :D

ok thanks for that mate! Another few days yet then I guess.
 
Sorry guys but i am not understanding this tracking thing. How are some people tracking using UPS and I cant? I got the shipped email today and I only managed to see some information on expo's website that indicate it is coming with a batch that weighs 236 KGs but i cant see anything else. How can I track it with UPS (if that's possible?) ? Thanks a lot

OK, has it been shipped from China by UPS?

For most of us they were shipped by Lufthansa to Frankfurt then by truck to London and only the last leg to your door was by UPS. However, for the last day or two they've been shipped from China by UPS so, presumably, that will be factory to door (like the US guys get but with FedEx).

So, how you track it will depend on how it's been shipped.
 
mine flew over on a virgin flight... just pleased this tormenting part of my life has almost come to an end! I'm far too impatient!

Mine just changed too with delivery estimated for tomorrow(bridge point) :D

However on the UPS website there is no scheduled delivery date stated yet (just order processed), hope it actually comes tomorrow! Do they normally turn it around with delivery the next day?

That's coz Syncreon raise the shipping label but the details don't appear on UPS's system until it gets to their depot - so later tonight

Thanks for the info - lets hope they can turn it around in a day so we can type on our MBPR's this time tomorrow!

My guess is it's cleared Customs and expo is slow to update based on how it behaved for me

Do you have any other items on the order? If so it is probably en route to Hinckley, if not, then it may well be en route to you :)

I'm sure they will. Everyone else appears to have got theirs next day, plus Apple have updated everyone's Shipping Status page to show tomorrow for delivery :D

Think it's very unlikely to be tomorrow at this stage, unfortunately,

Woohoo!! :D:cool::apple:
 
Yeah, it seems to have arrived a lot earlier than the estimate, but is now waiting at customs. Hopefully it passes through quickly!

Does yours make any mention of customs?

05-Jul-2012 14:00:00 GMT Requested Delivery Date
03-Jul-2012 16:01:00 GMT (est.)Est Arrival at Dest FRANKFURT, GERMANY (FRA) LONDON, ENGLAND (LHR
03-Jul-2012 09:12:00 GMT At Final Destination LONDON, ENGLAND (LHR) LH7726S/0 LHR T18K0.0 ACTU

Thats what i've got. I presume that means it's in London, attempting to clear customs. I guess i'll be waiting till the morning before it moves to the merging facility!
