I just called Fedex and they said that my package was on its way to alaska apparently! If no customs issues arise I may have it tomorrow, but friday for sure.

I hate Apple.

So yesterday I talk to a lady who says, "Your MacBook Pro is being prepped for shipping." Yay!

Today I talk to a guy who says not only is it being prepped, but he's very sorry it has taken so long, it should have shipped last week, and upgraded my shipping to "Priority." He said it should be delivered by Friday and should go out today.

Tonight, having seen no progress on the shipping front, I call again, and get a much less helpful guy who says there is no sign of it being ready to ship, and that it SHOULD ship by the 20th. Maybe. If it's a full moon and I swing a dead cat over my head.

I hate Apple for making a product I get so neurotic over. Every time I get a new computer, i wear out the Order Status page in the process of waiting for it.

So, for those who ordered after Nov 3 and have gotten your shipping notification, congratulations. I can only assume it's because whatever country they are going to, they just bulk ship all the orders from the last 3 weeks or whatever into one big package and it's like Christmas (or whatever) for those folks. Or you have mob ties. Either way.

Everyone please say where you are when you post delivery news

The van came just as I was pulling out of my driveway!

But I have three back to back mtgs including one we're I'm presenting. How will I make it to lunch?

Where? Where? Where? Where? Where? Where? Where?

WHERE? WHERE? WHERE? WHERE? WHERE? WHERE?

Well I got mine. So far it seems pretty good, although my Core Duo MBP seemed a lot brighter, and I see an off color bar across the bottom of the screen. I looks almost like a strange reflection. I didn't see this on my other MBP. I will have to keep an eye on it and make sure it isn't a by product of a glossy reflection or something.

I'm just getting ready to install BootCamp. It is going to be a fun day.

WHERE? WHERE? WHERE? WHERE? WHERE? WHERE? WHERE? WHERE?

Glossy or Matte? I Can't believe We've Got All These Deliveries & No Photos?

Hi all, got my 17 " MBP delivered at 830 PST at my work, unfortunately there was no one to receive it. Fortunately Fedex showed back up at 9:30 and i was there to pick it up. Since i worked late last night i was able to leave early today, so i have pretty much been getting to know my new MBP. after reading posts about displays, noise, heat, squeaky keys, misaligned lids, etc. i was hoping for the best and expecting the worse.
I am glad to say that this thing is the shizznik!
I have not had any issus with the MBP and i am more than pleased with the quality.
It is quieter than any notebook i've ever used, i have to stick my ear up to the chassis to hear anything at all.
No heat issues, its warm but definitly not hot.
As far as the LCD, well i haven't noticed any backlighting issues, maybe minor discrepencies if i really look hard.
And this thing is fast!
All in all i am extremely happy with the 17" MBP
Good luck to the rest awaiting delivery, its long and excruciating but it all gets better when you are holding that box in your grubby hands, lol.

You didn't make photos for us?

I wish I got some shipping news, all it says for a day now is

In Transit to Customer - Shipment on Schedule

I very much agree with you!!! Mines going via UPS-UK and thats the exact message Im getting. Its annoying that FedEx has such a great tracking system and we get the basics where it fobs you off with some generic status and it could mean anything.

Also my countdown changed from a big 9 days on my dashboard to 10 days. I swear I just suffered a deja vu!

However now its out of Apple's hands so I cant do much about it

 

[rxse7en]

Kinda bizarre that we track these things like this...with that being said, my 17" 'book has now left Alaska for points East! Muahaha.

Side note: Now that there are some Pre-N routers avaiable has anyone figured out how to activate the 802.11n cards in the 'books yet?

[Mr.Gadget]

Dang! My status still shows "in transit" from Indianapolis at 4:49AM today...
I sure wish they updated their site faster. Apple says I should have it tomorrow despite FedEx's estimate of Friday. It shipped Monday! Dang they are slow sometimes. This is with "2-day" shipping. I think that really means, "Don't expect it 2-day"! At least I know it is on the way.
I have a ShieldZone Full Body Shield waiting here to be applied as soon as I can and Aperture 1.5 to install...!

If my package makes it to indianapolis by 11:45PM tonight, what are the chances it gets to me (in waterville, maine) tomorrow via fedex?

Hanging my head in shame, my GF has my camera so i can't until she gets off work.
however there is another post with pics,

Mine was delivered at 8:45 this morning in Fairfax, VA.

Unfortunately I didn't get home until 7:15 PM and I've been carrying this thing around in my trunk all day.

Time to wolf down some food and then go play...

 

[DavidERas]

Hey Darkwing when does it arrive?

hmm...

So if there is a sudden rash of 17" C2D Macbook Pro thefts, we know where to start looking!

 

[timmillwood]

Production year: 2006
Production week: 46 (November)
Production number: 68 (within this week)

Mine is a UK model, how does this compare to yours from USA?

 

[Moonraker]

MacBook Pro C2D Ordered 27th October - Order confirmed (loan) 6th November via UK Applestore - Apple Higher Education.

Estimated dispatch date: 15 Nov, 2006 - 20 Nov, 2006
Estimated Delivery: 24 Nov, 2006 - 30 Nov, 2006

Awaiting Shipping.

Anyone else in Europe got these dates? The wait is already unbearable

And the Uk Apple Store still shows 7-10 day shipping rather than 5-7 day in US Apple Store. Really unfair

 

[ghostwriter]

Missed the FedEx delivery due to emergency at work. Just picked up my MBP at the FedEx facility. It's sitting on my table waiting to be unpacked. No reason to rush the unveiling.

 

[funjon]

*sigh*

I'm at gate A-5 at San Jose International, waiting for my flight to LAX. I can see the FedEx MD11 that my macbook is on. But I can't hold it until Monday.

So close, and yet so far away.

*siiiiigh*

Somehow I first read unravelling instead of unveiling
