*sigh* In HK not Alaska (guess I wasn't on that flight)

Delivery date still says estimated for Aug 20th though so that is good.

Perhaps the folks who paid for 3 day shipping go through HK for a direct flight to the US.

Or perhaps the Alaska flight was for the European based Mac Pros

or maybe no macs were on that Alaskan flight.

For what it's worth, here is what happened on my iphone 4 order through Hong Kong last month:

Don't over think it. It's just a matter to which plane has space when the computer gets picked up. FedEx doesn't care what you paid Apple for shipping. It all goes out the same way.

My fedex status just changed to "At local fed ex facility" Hong Kong, so judging from the above schedule it should be in Alaska tomorrow and the Memphis hub on Friday.
 
Yay! My order just shipped (to the Netherlands).

It's being shipped by some company called Kuehne+Nagel. Never heard of them before, but I guess that doesn't really matter.

Weird though, since I thought Apple used FedEx/UPS/TNT.
 
I'm trying not to check every hour where the box is, more like once a day.

Today its here(see image): weather is pretty much the same here in VA...

Shipment.

Mine was ordered on the 12th.
Shipped the 17th. Expected to arrive (east coast) the 24th.
Currently in Hong Kong.

I live in VA as well and my package is in HK right now... What part of VA are you from and when is your shipping date scheduled to arrive?

I got a 3.33ghz 6core, 5870 gb hd, 1 TB HD, 8 gig ram, and I'm scheduled delivery at Aug 24th... ordered the 13th...

I know this wasn't directed to me, but I also have a 3.33/5870 on order, and I live in Northern VA (close to DC).

I got 2-3 day shipping. My Mac Pro shipped from Shenzhen on the 17th. It is currently in HK. It is scheduled to arrive on the 20th before 10:30AM.

I hope it makes it :)

That's what I got - I work out on the north end of RT 28 in Dulles where I'm having it shipped. Delivery is scheduled for the 24th, but if it gets to Anchorage by tomorrow, I don't see any reason to be surprised if it gets here on the 23rd.

All my extra stuff will get here this week, including the internal bluray drive :D

That's actually interesting. Let us know if it makes it. That would mean there are some orders sent ahead or at least expedited once they hit US soil.

Nice, the wait is killing me...

You have good taste! Mine just arrived at the HK Facility... I wonder what flight it will be on...
 
I really don't understand why my computer needs to spend two days in China before shipping.

No, Apple have used Kuehne+Nagel for Europe for a while. They bring it from China to Europe, where it might be consolidated with your AppleCare package or whatever, and then hand it off to UPS or TNT or whoever serves Holland (in your case), for final delivery to you. Good luck tracking your package--in the past, it's been a royal pita.

Same deal here. I called Fedex. They said my package is part of a 30 piece bulk shipment and it is still on schedule for delivery Fri am (I paid the $50). I was told to expect some updates on movement tonite.
 
if delivery to the east coast is 24th then me being on in cali should get it quicker. :D and I get mine before 4:30 :D business shipping FTW!!!
 
It's in Anchorage!
