Anyone in the UK got a C2D MBP yet?

What was your last message, wooky? "booking slot obtained", or something else? if its booking slot, there's a good chance you might get it thurs or friday. Mine left EDC on Thursday, but Friday & Monday didn't hear anything until suddenly it was "truck arrived" monday afternoon. Then Tuesday it came.

I think they're just slow updating the progress. Its probably already at daventry being combined & split out to the courier

07 nov 06 90 75 truck arrived at final destination

I'm very much hoping it gets here before Friday. If it made it here tomorrow, well, I'd be over the moon

cool man! If they treat yours the same way they treat mine, when you log onto apple shipment tracker tomorrow morning, you'll have a 1Z UPS order number. If you live close to a metro area, tomorrow could well be the day

 

[wookyhoo]

I hope you're right

It's being delivered to my work which is just off the M25 (around J20).

 

[eternaldark]

YAY Mines out for delivery from croydon, so will be here late afternoon I suspect, as it will probably be one of the last stops on the journey. Cant wait!

Will keep you updated.

Thats SOOOO unfair (SOB) i want mines today as well, but cant check tracking as its down

Hey, mine got updated too .. from Apple's shipment status, I'm getting WALSH WESTERN as the carrier but the tracking number is still the same as my delivery number. The expected delivery date has been changed to yesterday (instead of this Sunday) .. I'll be on holiday tomorrow .. and I'm asking the MBP to be delivered to the office .. grr.. will check with my office mate tomorrow and will drop by at the office for sure..

Time to make a post .

Well after two weeks and one day, I've got my Macbook Pro and damn is the packaging nice. It's just charging now. Yes, I got Walsh Western tracking on Monday and UPS came to deliver it on Tuesday, so it is very likely that you'll be receiving your package tomorrow.

 

[wookyhoo]

I still don't have an update

 

[chaslam]

Just spoke to TNT on the phone after all day with no delivery. She put me on hold and spoke to the depot.

She said it will come between 6 and 10 tonight, as apple requested that they deliver them later as people are at work, which is good of them I suppose.

Anyway, she said that I will definately have it today and the driver is leaving in 30 mins (which was about half an hour ago now haha).

Its going to seem strange having a delivery so late, as its never happened before! Will update when I recive, and maybe post some pics, depending on the time (May not have time if it comes at 10 ).

 

[advocation]

I've just ordered mine, and the shipment date is before the 13th, i'm hoping its ALOT before!!! It would be awsum if I had it next week

CANT WAIT!!

Oh yeah, its a 15"/2.33/2gb/120gb/Matte

 

[chaslam]

8:30 at night and im still waiting .

Rang again just now, and confirmed again it will be before 10. I be it will arrive bang on 10, as I am probably the last delivery, being in Brighton.

Will keep you updated.

 

[chaslam]

I dont believe this. Ive been in all day and ive just checked the status. It says its been sent back up to Croydon because I wasnt in, and it acually went next door and no one was in, even though the numbers are clearly marked out.

This is the last straw. I really have had enough of TNT.

Thats terrible!! i would have been hanging out the window all day watching for the TNT van, am really hoping mines will come tomorrow

Ive got to ring back tomorrow and demand they re-deliver it tomorrow and get the right address this time. At the end of the day its their own fault, so they should re-deliver ASAP.

Absolutely, but what a pain in the bum! nothing worse than wasting a day waiting on a delivery. might be easier just going to the TNT depot if its nearby and collect in person

 

[chaslam]

Well its about 1:20 drive many, so not exactly to close, but will have to ask my mum and see what she says (as I havent passed my test yet haha).

One lesson ive learnt: Never ever use TNT. Worst delivery company I have ever delt with, and their drivers cant read numbers on the doors.

 

[eternaldark]

other half has strict instructions to stand at window all day and watch for van

Ouch that's ****, Chistian it's ben, can you PM me your msn?

Same feelings about TNT, according to them my order has been flying non-stop for two days now.

I didn't get a tracking number till after the machine had arrived today.

Came from UPS at about 12 today -delighted it finally got here. It took 12 days to ship in total.

I finally have an assigned tracking number with Walsh western as the courier, however the carrier tracking number is the same as the delivery ref number from Apple that worked on Apecode. I have googled Walsh western and they do have online tracking on their site but you appear to need a logon for it to work.

Q. Does anyone know if you can track online with Walsh Western?

Q. If I have an assigned courier now at 8:55am am I likely to receive my MBP today? I am in London.

 

[wookyhoo]

I'm in the exact same boat as Ollie, so maybe we'll get it today, maybe tomorrow.

When I RMA'd my CD MBP it was picked up by TNT. A TNT person called me and they organised to pick it up on a Friday.

I was watching TV on the Thursday afternoon and what do I see? A TNT truck pull up outside.

Good work TNT

 

[zenvision]

mine arrived yesterday, typing this on it! wonderful machine, after such a long wait, thank god theres nothing wrong with it (touch wood)

sooooo fast, and the airport is flawless which is a relief after i heard people had been having trouble. no stuck pixels, pretty even backlighting (not as bad as ive seen on others), no warped casing, very quiet (the only loudish noise is when you insert/eject a cd/dvd) & not too hot either

Hi Ollie - dunno about walsh, I think it will still get passed to UPS from walsh anyway (someone else reported that). I received mine on midday Tuesday, and finally had a carrier update & tracking number only on Tuesday morning. So if Walsh ARE your final carrier, its possible it will come today. if its to be passed onto UPS, perhaps it will be tomorrow.

I had mentally pictured myself unpacking my baby today!!!!

How many other people are going to get to handle my MBP before it gets to me!!!!!

Ah well, better try and get some work done to take my mind off!!
