...I clicked the cancel link on my order, and I was told I could no longer cancel my order and that I had to call Apple to do so.

it should be noted though, that I ordered the iPod touch and Photoshop and I have already received both. I wonder if that's just the case...

That's pretty standard for any internet commerce I know about...an order that has already been even partially filled can't be cancelled by definition. You're in RMA land.

Were you able to cancel your order online or did you have to go through the phone? Just for kicks, I clicked the cancel link on my order, and I was told I could no longer cancel my order and that I had to call Apple to do so.

I ordered by phone and canceled online. Got an immediate confirmation of the cancellation. Nothing in my order had shipped.

What do you mean? I chose the wireless keyboard BTO option and I don't see a different SKU in my order for the wireless keyboard. They ship inside the box.

I updated my order to have the 5870. Shipment moved from 23 to 25.
They separately shipped the wireless keyboard :confused:. The package with the MBP shows a numerical keyboard (Apple KB User's Guide.).
Seem's like a present :D

The apple representative told me that they overestimate the shipment date and that the units may be shipped at the 20th
 
I ordered a quad 2.8 with Radeon 5870 today. I choose the expedited 2-3 day shipping, and my confirmation e-mail says ships Aug 25 delivers Aug 30.


You guys are wasting money on the expedited shipping. Normal free shipping usually is 2 to 3 days and in some cases even overnight.
 
And people were initially expecting late August anyways before we heard the 9th. First they announce it and don't give an order date. Then they are available for order on the 9th. Now we have to wait another 2 weeks just for it to ship! Then wait a few more for it to be delivered, thats ridiculous.


It wasn't ready and if they had released those new imacs without mention of the mac pros, well it wouldn't have been pretty. That earlier September rumor was the closest to correct.

I just called and asked if I had actually saved any time paying extra, and the sales rep told me free shipping takes up to 5 days, and with my expedited shipping it should only be 2. He said the quoted delivery dates don't take into account if you paid for expedited delivery. Either way, $50 on a $3,600 order isn't a huge loss.:p
 
I ordered me a 6-core monday morning, and just received an order confirmation e-mail, finally.

For the past days, my order status page gave me an estimated shipping date of August 23rd, with delivery around September 1st. Unfortunately, in the order confirmation e-mail I just got these have slipped to August 26th and September 6th now.

Being a pessimist, I was already half-suspecting not to see my Mac Pro before September. Still, sucks to be right. :(

BTW, an estimated 11 days for shipping? Where are these things being shipped from?

Free ship for most early orders said ship Aug 23, arrive Aug 26. Why pay $50 for the same thing? My touch on this order shipped one day and arrived the next. Even if it takes one day longer is it worth $50?

By the way, have any 2010 MP's showed up in a retail store yet?

It depends on where packages are being shipped from. For in stock items that are warehoused across the US, yes, you might get it next day. I've had items shipped from Memphis before when ordering from Apple, and I live in Nashville, so it was next day. But with the Mac Pros they could be coming from China for all I know. The rep told me that if I removed expedited shipping from my order, it could add up to 3 days on my delivery. I really NEED it by the 29th, so it is worth $50 to me.
 
Just ordered last night: base Quad with the 5870. Haven't gotten a confirmation email, but order status online says ship Aug 25 / deliver Aug 30.

Here's to hoping for overestimation.
 
Just spoke with Apple sales about upping my 3.2 quad to the 3.33 hex. I asked her about shipping, and she kept mentioning it is being assembled as we speak, but it hasn't shipped yet. She said the shipping estimates are VERY conservative and it will likely ship early.
 
After the iphone 4 shipping fiasco, I'm not getting my hopes up for too much sooner than they are saying on the order status page.

I don't remember the September "rumor" to actually have been a rumor. It was just talking about how the new CPUs aren't in and the author of the rumor speculating that it could be in September. If there was a rumor about it being at the end of summer, that would be the closest to correct, not that September crap.

So wait...you ordered the Macbook Pro and not a Mac Pro, right? If so, that would explain it the separate shipment of the wireless keyboard.

But if that was just a typo, then yes, what a present indeed. Lucky :)
 
I don't know, but this 2 weeks feels like the longest 2 weeks I have ever seen. This whole waiting and false rumors and now this long ship cycle. It's a form of torture I tell you! :eek:

Order a mac pro was just a typo. Thanks for the gift :D
 
I ordered the Two 2.66GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon with 16GB RAM and just the 1TB drive on Aug 11. Order Status says ship date Aug 25 and delivery by Aug 30.

I'm mainly focused on music/audio production for my own album work. Also ordered the Logic 9 upgrade from version 8 through Sweetwater since it's tax free.

I'm looking forward to this SEVERE upgrade from my old pre-Intel Powerbook!

Powerbook to 12-core MP? Not bad, not bad at all!

I'm upgrading from a core 2 duo MBP to a 12-core 2.93 GHz. I will be doing a lot of 3D animation and video work so all cores will definitely be taken advantage of :)
 
Ordered earlier today:
Ships: Aug 26
Delivers: Aug 31
thats two and a half weeks of agony :D
 
same here

i ordered a 2x2.66ghz 8gb's of ram (only for more free slots) with wireless keyboard and everything else stock along with a 16gb free ipod nano (since i already have an ipad) and free printer which both have already been delivered, but the mac pro says 23/26 for me as well and i ordered literally the second they were available haha.
