My MBP arrived today at 10:51AM in Anchorage (yay, US soil)...

Delivery estimate by 10:30AM March 5th, in California
I'm thinking of skipping class...

What's yours?
 
I have conflicting dates:

March 4th from Apple
March 5th from FedEx

State is Georgia

I'm hoping Apple is right on this one.
 
My order which I ordered wednesday at noon time, didn't ship until friday morning. I ordered OVERNIGHT shipping, and the estimated delivery date is this upcoming Wednesday. I am pissed, and am calling Apple right now so they can refund my shipping cost.
 
March 5th as well to Berlin, Germany. It was ordered Tuesday night and shipped Friday around noon.
 
Just got off the phone with apple. They will be refunding my money for overnight shipping, and they are throwing in a free 4gb thumb drive. Still, I would rather have my MBP already.
 
You're not asking enough details to be helpful to anyone.

Not all MBPs are created equal. It's important to ask for the specs as well. It seems 17" MPBs for example are taking longer, and hi-res upgrades even longer, and glossy even longer.

Anyway, I ordered the 17" MBP with hi-res matte screen.

Ordered on: Feb 26 (around 12 noon EST)
Ships by: Mar 6 - Mar 11
Delivers by: Mar 10 - Mar 14

I understand certain parts may cause it to take longer, but that's not what I'm curious about. Mostly I wanted a general feel for how the things're being shipped..

Mostly, I like imagining the hundreds of similar boxes going around fedex at the same time, and then being distributed... the fedex people thinking "apple's at it again"... heh, its something to do while we wait

I ordered mine at 6:26am pacific on the 26th. In any case, hope you get yours sooner than expected...
 
Ordered a Little Late

I ordered mine on Wednesday of last week (day after they came out), because I managed to get a sweet "Family & Friends Discount." So, it hasn't shipped yet.

It's expected to ship by March 4th, I'm hoping before then.
It's expected to arrive by March 10th, which is fine.

I'll be gone to Colorado until the 9th, and if it arrives before then, I'll have it!

I ordered a 15" matte MBP w/ 2.5GHz and 200GB 7200rpm HDD. I'll upgrade the RAM later. It's shipping to the Memphis, TN area. (Actually shipping to friends house in Mississippi, because tax was 5% less!)
 
Mine landed today in Anchorage too. Says it should be here by the 5th, but hopefully sooner since I'm not as far away from there as some of you guys.

I'm in Vancouver Canada so hopefully they B-line that box down here fast!
 
Est. March 4 from Apple, I predict March 6 from FedEx though. Shipping to Pennsylvania.
 
Estimated Delivery Date: 3/5/2008 10:30:00 AM. To Evanston, IL

Apple's estimate is March 4th, however.
 
march 5 10:30 to Delaware paid for expedited should I call and complain? To above poster how did you get them to give you a 4gb USB?


I paid $27 for Overnight shipping (I am an Apple employee) this past Wednesday. It shipped Friday morning. I called and asked for a refund on my $27 since my EDD is March 5th. They are sending me a 4gb USB drive just for my inconvience. Call and complai, but keep in mind that shipping times are X Days after it actually ships.
 
March 5 by 10:30 AM, California, for me too.

Currently in Anchorage (but apparently caught a later flight that the thread starter -- mine arrived in AK at 1:27PM today.)

Yeah mine has the exact same arrival time as yours to Anchorage. March 5th by 10:30 AM Woot! I can't wait for my MBP.
