Why is my MacBook shipping from China?

[mpw]

...It just scared me when I saw a foreign country listed as where it was coming from...

It's sad, but without reading any further I know where you're posting from.

Macs are MADE IN CHINA (whats not) so it has to get here somehow.

To the OP, no need to worry wherever it's coming from. The nearest Apple store will honor your warranty if you experience problems.

In response to some thoughts, machines with problems are not exclusive of where your Macbooks are made or assembled.

Except from that report late last year regarding a higher risk for Hard Drive failures for 2007 MacBooks assembled in Shanghai.

Not to worry

Fear not. This is a common shipping point. Usually it is a part request, which determine where the finished unit will be shipped from. Don't worry you have not been scammed.

I don't think you quite understand... I KNOW that Apple products are assembled in China. I just found it odd that my MacBook was coming straight to China to my doorstep.

Actually thats a good notice cause you know for sure you´re getting a brand new product straight from the assembly line loaded with the latest updates etc.

I just got a Macbook and iPod Touch and the Touch came 2 days after I ordered it, but my Macbook still isn't here after 8 days. It's coming from China and was shipped 4 days after I ordered it. At least I can mess with my new iPod while I wait for it.
