I agree.. though they will meet their ETA times so I guess it doesn't really matter..

However I bet if they pulled their finger out a little they could have delivered them yesterday.

Just phoned TNT for an update for what is happening
AppleTV is still in Arnhem hub as of 5 mins ago. I know the estimated delivery date set by Apple was the 4th but seriously, why does TNT not want to deliver any second before. They are holding the goods at the Arnhem hub for 24 hours. Surely they have had flights to the UK since yesterday! Hong Kong wait 48 hours. In that time, I could have gone from the UK and picked it up. They seem to just be slow with no get up and go to deliver anything as quick as they can!

I hope that my iMac doesn't ship with them, else it will be christmas :(

shame we don't have away to make our feeling known to Apple... it would be good to be able to select who our purchases are shipped with.

Yes, well I am going to phone Apple to try and get a different courier for my iMac. TNT are just useless

Why is it taking so god damn long.

Then I realise you guys have been stuck in Arnhem for the last day, I hope mine doesn't stay there for another day whilst yours take a nice trip to the UK. This is very annoying.

I hope my Apple TV is enjoying its rest in Holland; I wouldn't want it to arrive all tired after that long airplane ride from Hong Kong.
 
Its got nothing to do with tnt... Its all apple's processing which is slow. My macbook pro which shipped one day before my apple tv is coming on monday as well by UPS...
 
Just to stoke the fires!

Upgrade delivery = no delivery

So how is an upgrade of September delivery, delivery by 4th October? Judging by a quick scan of these posts, I'm not the only one to be waiting. Monday the 4th is really inconvenient too WTF. Good luck all!

Ironically, my house won't have anyone in to sign for a parcel this morning either. Hope TNT will take it to a neighbor for signature.:confused:
