Has anyone received a 1.83 from Amazon who is willing to share their order number (as ammo to talk to an Amazon customer service rep)? It would be a great help. Thanks!
Hi,
i called their customer service today to ask abut my 1.83 order I put in on January 18. The lady I spoke with confirmed that they had received a few 1.83 and they had laready been sent out to people ahead of me in the que. I asked where I was but she couldn't or wanted not tell.
They will receive two more batches in the next week or so.
hopefully I will get it before the 20th which is my curretn ship date.

Happy to be able to state the same...my delivery estimate is March 14, and I finally cannot cancel the order anymore. Are these delivery estimates reliable? Will it ship on March 14 or will it be in my hands on that date - I have chosen Two Day Shipping as delivery method...

My guess is that it will ship today (3/10). Two business days would be Tuesday (3/14). Good luck!
Good luck to you too..do you have my same shipping estimate, and did yours ship today?w8ing4intelmacs said:

I think so. 3/20. Still "Shipping Soon". I live right by the Amazon warehouse, so I'm hoping that I'll get it on Monday. (Most Super Saver Shipping orders arrive next day for me).
w8ing4intelmacs said:
ok, so yours should ship out today too, since you have selected super saver and it takes 5 days on paper...
Yes, I got my shipping notice. Looks like I'll get it Tuesday. Personally, I'm glad I bought the 1.83. The extra $500 will go a long way towards accessories, more RAM in particular.
Anyone know of a case that's made for the MacBook Pro?

new strange amazon info.....
hi, i'm new here, first post, first mac (soon.......) .....just giving you all some hope and/or more confusion on shipping from amazon on the macbook 1.83 ......i ordered mine on february 28th, and i had a ship date of MAY 8.....i messed with changing the shipping speed etc, and i got it moved up to MAY 3, but nothing more than that.........yesterday, i called amazon to tell them i might cancel because apparently club mac was getting in a shipment on the 17th of march, and the csr told me that there was already a macbook "on hold" for me, and that it would probably ship on march 20th when they got in their next batch, and to ignore my ship date.........THEN, i checked my account a few hours later, and it had changed to "shipping soon", but it still said MAY 3........i checked my bank account, and amazon had charged me the full $1999 yesterday...........i called amazon AGAIN this morning, and the csr told me that even though my ship date still says may 3 and the last csr told me that it might ship march 20th, that they have my macbook in stock and that it will probably ship out monday morning, march 13th !?!?!?!? .......anyone else in a similar situation???? i must have sounded stunned to the last csr i spoke to, so he repeatedly assured me that it was in stock and would be shipped out to me monday............should i trust him, or am i getting my hopes up??? ............thanks for your input, i'm looking foward to my first mac and since i wasn't expecting it until may, i'm getting a little excited..............-----------sandi, confused newbie

i think so........
well..............i got an email from amazon saying that the macbook had shipped march 11th-----------when i go to the tracking info on the ups website, it says that they have recieved the shipping and billing information from amazon, but that they have no further info as to the exact day it has shipped or the delivery estimate date...........on my amazon page, it says that it HAS shipped on the 11th----------but of course, just to keep things confusing, my delivery date STILL says may 3rd...............and when i hit the tracking info button, it says there is no further info...........stay tuned, i still have my fingers crossed that i might actually get it this week......--------sandi

Response From Amazon
I sent a note to Amazon telling them that I'm disappointed that: a) they didn't follow through on their offer to me to change my ship date, and b) they are shipping MBPs to folks who've ordered recently -- and not abiding by order dates.
I found the reply quite annoying. In effect, they say that pre-ordering doesn't put you on a "list" to get the device! So, what does it do?

That is quite annoying. I would try calling them. Maybe you can get them to give you a discount "for your troubles". It's a lot harder to deny a voice than an email.

yeah, super saver.......the last csr guy i talked to said i should have it this week......we'll see, maybe there will be an update for me tomorrow, but for now, it just says 'shipped', but no other info........
as for the other guy with his recent emails from amazon---------i was going to just wait until may when mine was supposed to ship until i got an email from clubmac saying they'd have them on the 17th of march-------when i called amazon to tell them i was going to cancel and get it from club mac, that's when all the shipping stuff started to happen magically-----literally an hour later, my credit card was charged for the computer, and one day later i got the email from amazon saying it shipped on the 11th--------maybe if you just call like i did they'd do the same for you---------no one told me they were speeding up my order, but i think it's a pretty big coincidence that my order status changed and then it supposedly shipped right after i made the phone call telling them i was about to cancel. --------sandi

You paid an extra $500 to get it shipped a week early? Talk about the cost of impatience.
It is now March 13 and the order still says "Shipping soon" with an estimated delivery date of March 14. Obviously this will not happen.
I did receive an email on the 10th saying "good news your ship date has improved" but nothing more specific.
I have now seen people who ordered after me that had theirs delivered...

The 1.83 isn't even a preorder item anymore.
it shipped!
yeah, you should definately call and complain..........mine is now officially in ups tracking, with an estimated delivery date of wed, march 15!!
again, you should really call, like i said i ordered mine on feb 27th with a ship date of MAY 3rd, and after two polite phone calls (i didn't even complain, just asked some questions) my macbook shipped and should be here in two days-----and i still had the free shipping......---------sandi, two days away from her first mac

Ok, Just got off the phone with Amazon and the customer rep swears that NO Macbook pros 1.83 has gone out to any customers yet!
This is getting irritating since the other girl I talked to last week confirmed that a small number had been sent out and When the next shipment came in it would hit my order.
Can anyone who has a 1.83 being delivered or actually received post an order no, or send it to me in a private message?
Thanks a lot!
Btw, I was not offered any kind of discount for the problem etc...
