Bog standard 17, "apple.com/uk/thestore/", Tuesday 24th October, to be shipped on the 7th November.

It's all there in previous posts if you were paying attention. :rolleyes:

(I am joking, I don't expect you to have read every post)(like I have)


Thanks!

I'm in the same boat, but from the Edu store, not that that should make a difference. My date is now the 16th :(

Ditto. Mine's from the UK HE store (2gb, matte, 100gb 7200rpm). Had the horrid 16th email but order status still says despatch by 14th. No fair, no fair, no fair! Waaaaaa!!!

European tracking...

Finally an update on my Order Status and the one I was hoping for ;-)

Anyway, for Europe, Apple used to use 2 different carriers: 1 from China to Europe - Netherland (Kuehne+Nagel) and then 1 for the local deliveries. So for a while it should be expected that TNT (or any other delivery service) do not yet recognize the tracking number. Try http://www.apecode.com/appletrack/
If you have a merge in transit, it also has to "transit" through UK for the merging process.
Not sure if these info still apply though....

4:50 AM Departed FedEx location INDIANAPOLIS, IN

Looks like it's on the 4:50 flight to LAX. I'm so lame for sitting here and constantly keeping an eye on the status. Hopefully I will get it tomorrow or early Thursday.

On the truck for deliver

The good news:
Arrived in Boston at 6:03 AM at Fed Ex facility and is on the truck for delivery.

The bad news:
My brother-in-law flew out to meet us at 6:20 AM EST this AM to sail with us in the West Indies and he supposed to have taken the 17incher with him. (Apple would not ship to the West Indies after the delay). Also customs fees are extremely high and packages are not always guaranteed to get out of customs.
So - the next visitors will not arrive until November 27th.
Not sure if this counts for REALLY REALLY SUCKS.

Anyway, will look for pictures and all of those positive reports, especially for the glossy screen.

It should be in Ottawa this morning!

The question is, will it make it to Ottawa in time for the first round of deliveries. I'm thinking not, but it should make the second delivery run today!

Does anybody know what flight number the FedEx flight from Memphis to Ottawa is?

My credit card charge finally did show up, and it was for the right amount with my $100 off and free shipping. However, my MBP is still sitting in IN. :( Looks like some of yours has made it out. I bet if I still lived in California it'd be on a plane... but even if I have to wait an extra day, the $60+ I saved in sales tax will go a long way towards food or something else. :)

We all got that hardhead. I think all it means is that FedEx doesn't count it as shipped for today, so as far as FedEx is concerned it's shipping on Thursday but it'll still move. I got the same message yesterday and today my package is somewhere in the US making its way towards me.

At local FedEx office!

Looks like mine was at the local FedEx center at 6:30am today. That's about 2-3 miles from here. I'm not sure if it will get delivered today.

Unfortunately I'm going to be in meetings and such for the whole day anyway.

But someone should be posting first pics today! :)

Crap!

The FedEx page tracking info hasn't updated. However, isnoop.net says:

11/15/06 07:54 am
Arrived At Fedex Ramp
Mississauga, ON

11/15/06 04:05 am
Left Fedex Sort Facility
Memphis, TN

I don't have a clue as to why my package went to Mississauga, unless the flight from Memphis to Ottawa had already departed before 4:05am.

I routinely get packages in Ottawa via FedEx and they always make a straight shot from Memphis to Ottawa, rather than through the FedEx sorting facility in Toronto -- most recent example was an iMac I received last month, direct from Memphis.

I dearly hope that it takes flight from Toronto to Ottawa, and they don't stick it on a FedEx ground truck in Toronto. That's not what expedited shipping means to me.

*sigh*

I know that there are other Ottawans (and Montrealers) waiting for their MBPs today -- can one of them post their tracking info so that I can see if their packages also detoured to Toronto, please?

UPDATE:

Argh.

Yeah, that was probably the actual arrival time. So I see you're in the DC area, too. I'm in Fairfax county. Any luck figuring out the rest of the trip from here?

I got an update. At 2:03 it made it through customs, and at 2:41 it left Indianapolis. Why some of you got updates is beyond me. But then again, some of the updates posted were after 4 am. Maybe this puts me near the lead? ;)

i asked fedex... you can pick it up once it's at the local office.
they don't have to try to deliver it first...
so we can both get it to day, even if it doesn't make it on the truck today.

yeah... the flight left shangahi around 8pm...
they didn't get it from apple (pick-up) until after that.
so, yours is gonna be on today's flight.
it's prolly in the air right now.

yup, just checked for you. 24 and 90 will take off in about an hour.
so you can start obsessing just like we did yesterday.
you could have it tomorrow morning. i'm hoping mine shows up today.

I did some digging and it looks like my MBP left Memphis to Salt Lake City and it landed almost an hour ago. I hope it comes today. That would give me time to set it up before going out of town tomorrow.
