Anybody already done that?
thanks for your advice

It would be risky at this point, kheops. The Apple Online Store now shows "5-7 business days" shipping as I mentioned. There are 6 business days left in November (because of the Japanese national holiday next Monday only 5 for me). If your 10/25 order showed "Ships in November" you're better off waiting at this point.

7 Business days would put you into December.

Man, you're still waiting for a 10/25 order while some who ordered last week already have theirs. That REALLY sucks, man. I feel your pain.

HEY EVERYBODY!

Since I am soon getting mine, I need to ask this:

REINSTALL OR NOT REINSTALL?

Why, and why not?

Isn't the factory install a good one?
I have heard this being advised in the past as well,
never done it, never had probs.

But now I want the absolutely best out of my i7,
that's why I am asking.

 

[Papajz]

burning mad

I'm still same boat with you guys order 10/28 been on phone umpteen times.
Working way up chain of command they stroke your front stabb you back. make it sound like they give a dam, Then don't even call you back! I think at this point they owe us something good like a big discount! This is no way to treat customers.

My i7 is stuck in Shanghai after my UPS origin scan. Hasn't moved for days.

Ordered on the 9 of Nov.

Would calling UPS do any good to get this package moving? Or are they gonna tell me "there's nothing they can do"?

Seeing that this is now their weekend there, I don't expect it to move for a couple more days.

Flustered :|

I should call them, at least a few times.
That doesn't seem right.

Mine shipped this wednesday, and today it arrives.
According to UPS anyway.
If they got it, then they better send it, unless they are waiting for some sort of bulkshipment. If so, they could at least give you that info, right?

Well i guess there's nothing else left than wait. I'm really disappointed by Apple's order/shipping chaos this time. I guess next time i order a new imac or macbook i'll wait a few weeks after the release date before ordering.

I hope you'll get yours soon. Gambatte ne~

@papajz
Calling Apple doesn't help... i tried too
Waiting is the only option here but really unfair. I feel with you.

Ordered on 22 October 2009.
Despatched 12 November 2009.
Finally "Merged" Yesterday.
Collected by UPS from Tamworth last night 19 November 2009.
Recieved at my local depot early hours of this morning.

It's Delivered!!!!!

End of the working day cannot come to soon.

UK (HE) - Finally PFS.

Ordered: i7, num-pad, AC. 11 Nov.

No charge or hold on my card, but I still assume it will be shipping soon. It's only PFS on the US store, but both have greyed out cancel links.

My 3GS was just delivered so my excitement was already 10/10.

Over 24 hours later, it still hasn't changed on the UK store. Is this normal? And how long is it normally from PFS to Shipped?

 

[GaragetMusic]

it's here! i'm offline for a while..

I seen this question few times before i never would of thought about reinstalling. no one ever seems to answer. I wonder where some one would even get that idea? New to macs never did that on a windows machine or my mbp

Got my Core i7/2TB/4GB model yesterday. The box is heavy. Opened up the box and everything looked perfect with smell of new computer. Immediately before booting up, I inserted two additional DIMM from Crucial to make 8GB total. The slot is very very resistant. When I booted and checked, the computer only registered 2GB total! So I shut down, then pushed in all the DIMMs really really hard (actually used a hard plastic edge to push the edge of the DIMM in to the computer). Then rebooted and all is well with 8GB.

First note, just watching Slingmedia stream at full screen, the top of the machine gets really HOT. But the machine is dead quiet and beautiful to look at. The panel looks perfect with no dead pixels. No dusts. Have yet to fully burn in the machine yet. Will probably erase and re-install from disc prior to transferring my files.

To everyone, it will be worth the wait.

 

[GaragetMusic]

I can vouch for that.
Really worth the wait!
It is absolutely AWESOME!

A sligh feeling of seasickness, though, which I hope will go away.
This is crazy big!

Was a nice feeling to see the specs on the actual machine:

i7, 8gb...

No change from yesterday at 1:30 local time:

PACKAGE DATA PROCESSED BY BROKERAGE. WAITING FOR CLEARANCE / BROKERAGE RELEASED SHIPMENT. SHIPMENT IS SUBMITTED TO CLEARING AGENCY FOR FURTHER CLEARANCE

Hey, that's great-enjoy.

Mine arrived on Wednesday-beautiful display BUT had noisy HD from Seagate-so its been returned today! Replacement due in December will have a 2TB Hitachi that I hope will be OK.

 

[shulerg]

Ordered 11/11, my 27" iMac i7 8 GB RAM is now in Anchorage AK....should get it by next Tuesday!!!!!!!!!!!!


Only thing concerning me is the various reporting of issues, like hard drive noise, screen problems, etc. Here's to hoping mine is flawless just like my current iMac

 

[brisbaneguy29]

There is obviously something very very wrong with the Apple order system. Ordered mine on the 28/10 and have no luck getting it shipped. Still showing not yet shipped.
Painful that no one will give me any answers

Hi all,

Have followed this thread from the beginning and thought I would post just to vent my frustration with you all as well.

I ordered a 27" i7 8GB 2TB machine with applecare, time capsule and printer on 21st Oct at 7am apple time. After reading somewhere that the printer could be delaying my order I phoned Apple and asked for items to be shipped as they became available. I now have the printer but my first ever Mac is nowhere to be seen.

It apparently shipped on the 14th but all I am told is it is in transit and on time although the date for this keeps changing! I have no tracking no. and no more info except due to be delivered on the 26th November. Now, call me mad but I feel this is a bit random. I thought Apple was meant to be good with their customers but this experience is really ruining my view of them. I understand it has shipped in November and by doing so they have fulfilled their obligation to me but I am finding it upsetting watching everyone else recieve theirs first!

Sorry for the rant but more than a little frustrated!

same with mine.

Location Date Local Time DescriptionWhat's This?
SHANGHAI, CN 11/19/2009 12:44 P.M. ORIGIN SCAN
CN 11/19/2009 5:48 A.M. BILLING INFORMATION RECEIVED
Tracking results provided by UPS: 11/20/2009 12:08 P.M. ET

Hasn't moved from the Origin scan status in the two days since I received the shipping email. Supposed to be delivered on Monday, and its Saturday in China now. seems unlikely

 

[Cockroach]

Over 24 hours later, it still hasn't changed on the UK store. Is this normal? And how long is it normally from PFS to Shipped?

FINALLY it's shipped with estimated delivery 26th Nov.

UK status never updated to PFS, which I find a little odd.

I don't have a tracking number either - it's using the "Merge in Transit GB" method, so I guess I won't get one until a day before delivery when UPS(?) gets it.

To recap:
UK HE Store
i7, num-pad, AppleCare
Ordered: 11th Nov
PFS: 19th Nov
Shipped: 20th Nov
Estimated Delivery: 26th Nov

EDIT: WTF Estimated Delivery Date has just changed to 3rd December. Oh well, at least it's on the way.

 

[tarasis]

Yeah mine finally seems to be moving

Must remember the Shanghai is ahead by 7 hours, even so between being emailed yesterday at 18:01 CET it must have sat around for a good while before it was picked up.

 

[jonwd7]

Yours should ship tomorrow morning around 6am est. if you're in the US. I ordered mine 11/13 and it shipped this morning at 6am and someone else in this thread ordered 11/12 and theirs shipped 6am yesterday morning.

Nope. No progress so far today. My only hope now is that they ship out on weekends... Has anyone received status changes over a weekend? I just really really hope my order goes "Prepared for Shipment" before the end of the business day. But now I'm really doubting that.

My worst case scenario puts me at status change on the next business day (Monday), shipping out on the following business day (Tuesday), and then only having Wednesday and Friday to move because of Thursday being a holiday in the US. And then that means that I don't get the package until the FOLLOWING Monday, which happens to be the 30th. The original estimate was "ships Dec 1, arrives Dec 4" which was absolutely unacceptable to me, and I was mortified when I saw this in the confirmation email.

I cannot wait 10 days! Absolutely cannot. I'd actually rather cancel the order...

 

[Cockroach]

EDIT: WTF Estimated Delivery Date has just changed to 3rd December. Oh well, at least it's on the way.

And now it's changed to 4th. What is going on?? It's moving back every time I refresh.

EDIT: Now the email has come through, and that says shipped 21st and delivers 1st Dec.

I have a delivery reference number starting 81, can I use that anywhere for tracking?

 

[chibamac]

same with mine.

same with mine.. ordered 10th of Nov shipped the 18th due the 24th

Hopefully it is on the move and it's just a problem with them updating it's progress.

time will tell
I wants me precious!

 

[tarasis]

Yeah likely TNT's website, that is where mine is. Took about 24 hours before that number was recognized.

I used this link to get the page in GB English http://www.tnt.com/express/en_gb/site/home/shipping_tools/track_a_package.html as tnt.com defaults to the German website for me.

Stick in the number as a reference number, NOT consignment. Though as I say it took about 24 hours from me getting the 81 number before it was found in their system.
