UK New MacBook Pro Thread.

[ic2]

I have a 12:07 departure scan as well.

I looked through Incheon departures and the only freight flight coming into Europe around the departure scan time is flight KAL509

Unless its on a scheduled flight? There appears to be a Korean airlines flight direct to Heathrow landing at 17.15 but I am sure I will get an update later?

----------

It seems yours is on the plane now and arrives in about two hours.

I can only assume you have a UPS number because it is being delivered by them?

Thats what my delivery note has down as carrier. I had a superdrive ordered but cancelled that, so nothing has to be merged before coming out to me.

finally its preparing for shipment, 2.6/16/512, ordered on 21st

woohooooo just changed to "shipped"

Dispatched: 3 - 4 Weeks Delivers 23 Jul, 2012 - 27 Jul, 2012

mine is also showing an estimated delivery of 23rd July, will it really take almost a week for shipment? I have the TB ethernet adapter on order as well, does anyone know what are the chances that it would be delivered a little earlier then 23rd

The 13th to the 23rd is ten days. If my wife's MBA order is anything to go by, it arrived on the 10th as opposed to the 13th as quoted. So, I reckon next Friday, maybe? That would make it exactly one week. Her order merged with an EDU gift card, as mine will. So, perhaps you're looking at a similar timeframe.

 

[kamran9558]

I guess this merging thing is gonna cost us atleast a couple of extra days

It generally takes 5-6 working days to arrive. This is based on past experience with BTO Mac's such as the iMac and MacBook Air.

So with it being the weekend, you could have it delivered sometime next week if it gets dispatched properly today.

If it is in Korea now, then it will go to Kazakstan, then Poland, then Germany, then to Castle Donnington (near East Midlands Airport), then to your local depot and then delivered!

My replacement model left Korea at 10:40 and is already on its way to Poland after stopping in Kazakstan...

10 days to delivery? Wow... my first one took 4 and replacement looks like it'll take 6 (first one didn't have a weekend to go through though! )

It normally only takes around 1 more day...

I thought only the US folks could track their shipments from start to finish and that we had to wait until the order arrived in the UK to track its movements. Is there a way to see where my order is at any given time? Apple's order page hasn't provided me with carrier information. How are you viewing its progress from Korea, etc?

 

[kamran9558]

I hope it gets on a plane today, I have effectively now waited for one month and 1 day exactly and im still cursing myself on cancelling my initial 8 GB order. This is the first time I have waited so anxiously for any gadget, I hope its worth it

Does yours not have a UPS tracking no?

I looked at the schedule it appears to be on a scheduled flight KAL503... leaves tomorrow at 14:20 Korean time and lands here at 18:10...

Hoping for a Tuesday delivery... mmmhhh

 

[2499723]

There are no UPS tracking number or carrier details on the 'bridgepoint' screen. My wife's did not contain that info until the day it arrived in the UK, strangely. Hmm.

 

[Shahidkapoor]

Me too! Finally! I think ours will be together for the whole journey to syncreon since we're the same model and both edu.

Shipped! Check your mail..
It says i'll receive it before the 23rd!

Did you order any adapters or anything that would make it go to the merging centre? Maybe that's why your wife only got a tracking number when it got to the UK?

That might be the reason. It's due to the merge, surely. Good call. This stupid educational gift card is the bane of the whole shipping experience! =)

Can anybody make sense of expeditors. I just tracked my MBPR on it today and I have two conflicting dates:

On the timeline it says:
16-Jul-2012 14:00:00 GMT Estimated Time of Delivery LHR
14-Jul-2012 19:31:00 GMT Estimated Time of Arrival LHR
14-Jul-2012 07:30:00 CEST Estimated Time of Departure

Then on the 'events' it says:
17-Jul-2012 14:00:00 GMT Requested Delivery Date
14-Jul-2012 19:31:00 GMT (est.) Est Arrival at Dest FRANKFURT, GERMANY (FRA) LONDON, ENGLAND (LHR) FRA-LHR: LH7726I/14 FRA LHR
14-Jul-2012 07:30:00 CEST (est.) Booked FRANKFURT, GERMANY (FRA) LONDON, ENGLAND (LHR) FRA-LHR: LH7726I/1
13-Jul-2012 08:55:00 SGT Freight Received w/Docs
12-Jul-2012 22:01:00 SGT Client Called for Pickup

It seems rather odd.

 

[enjay94]

What time do they prepare for shipment up too each day?

No idea, I think a factory in China would have 24 hours output though. UK manufacturing can come close to 24 hour run times, so I'd imagine that is it is more than possible in China.

 

[kamran9558]

What time do they prepare for shipment up too each day?

what i have noticed is that the usual time is somewhere between 2 am -7 am UK time

Ahh right, do they work on weekend too do you know?

Thanks

 

[modelbehaviour]

Mine shipped this afternoon! Spent less than 12 hours in preparing.

How do I find out when it's leaving China and when it's estimated to arrive in London? I tracked it on expeditors and it just says 'no data in table', but it says Shanghai to London and its coming by air. Does that mean its on a direct flight?

It arrives at LONDON HEATHROW on the 16th.

 

[kisbys]

It arrives at LONDON HEATHROW on the 16th.

I'm fairly sure that it arrives on the 14th at heathrow but UPS will pick it up from customs on the 16th... fairly standard as our usless HMRC probably don't work weekends so the Unions don't get too upset!!! (Maybe that's just for passengers served by UKBA???!!!)
