Custom iMac Core i7 Shipping from Cali?

is it true that the more time it spent on delivery route, the greater the chance it will be damaged somehow?

On apple order's page, it is said to be delivered on Aug 14, on fedex it suppose to be delivered on 11th, which one should I trust?

And my free printer is forever on the route of RENO, NV. No more update since then.





Apple should really switch to a better shipping carrier, more on time log update, better handling service.

What are you on about? FedEx have one of the best tracking facilities in the world.

Not really, as all the packages take the same basic routes to their final destination. Some just get priority in terms of which planes/trucks they are placed on while others sit in giant piles waiting.

All the packages tend to be man-handled the same way.

How FedEx works and reinvented the delivery business is kinda interesting. There is a story Fred Smith (the founder) proposed the idea for FedEx as his final paper in college. The teacher allegedly gave him a poor mark saying it would never work, and every year he would FedEx a copy of that paper with a copy of their yearly fiscal reports to that teacher as a giant "screw you."

Spent the Saturday setting up my Core i7 and it is flawless in every way. It's dead silent, screen is flawless and the ssd is fast. The 1TB hd is a Western Digital so no noise and it also has a serial number that begins with QP (whatever that's worth). Overall extremely happy!
