Wow! We could probably light up a small city with all the angst generated from waiting for a delivery of our orders. ;)
The best of luck to everyone who is waiting!
Stay cool it's hot outside!
Macked :cool:

lol


my iMac is now in Missasauga and coming to London Ontario,Tonight

then going to my house at 8am delievery
 
Well THAT was a frigging ordeal. BUT, I got my 20" 2.4ghz... here's a little story of why I hate Best Buy.

Aug 15th:
Ordered the 20" 2.4ghz off Bestbuy.ca because if you preordered you got $50 off. I also signed up for a credit card with them because your first purchase is 10% off, and you don't have to pay for 3 months (other wise I wouldn't be able to afford it).

Aug 28th:
The day my order was set to ship... my order status? Out of stock. Well what the hell was the point of a preorder then!? Grr... so now I call customer service and they have no idea when it's supposed to ship.

Aug 30th (Today):
Checked the bestbuy.ca store again... order status still out of stock. Checked the retail store's inventory and it said it had 20"s at my local bestbuy. Call them. They have my model. So I reserved it, drove out on my work lunch break and bought that instead, and cancelled my online order.

Annoying as hell that they'd ship them to their stores, but not to the customers that pre-ordered!!! I left out all the other details of how frustering it was getting the bestbuy credit card, and the idoit people I delt with in the process.

Anyways, Bestbuy, YOU SUCK :mad:. But I did get my mac! :apple::D
 
kkat69, you, and me are in the same boat-see my comment above re: this shipment delay. The Apple CS was really apologetic...don't know what exactly happened, but it appears to be a FedEx problem, more than Apple. In any case, we're all three in GA (I'm in Savannah) and we're all three stuck waiting thru the long holiday :(

Might want to give Apple a call-they really do try to please and it can't hurt!

Was stuck in Atlanta traffic when I called Apple and here's the scoop on my iMac.

Yes it's late and the Apple CS guy agreed. Apparently it wasn't tagged for expedited delivery so he reimbursed my shipping. BIG TIME KUDO's for the Apple CS guy. He made me feel loads better.

I guess it was a mistake at the plant and it was tagged normal shipment by accident. Anyway, nothing they can do now that FedEx has it's hands on it. But like I said, he did reimburse my shipping and comp me a 2g IPod Nano as a gift.

So I guess I'll be taking Weds next week off to sign and play with my iMac. Even went by Apple store and bought my Fiber optic (for the external surround sound system) and BF 2142.

/shrug accidents happen, it just sucks it happens when I decide to make the switch.

I don't even shop there anymore. I'd rather shop at Staples and have staples stapled to my forehead than shop at a BestBuy.

Same exact order and shipping details as my order except I have 10 AM delivery time. I thought the stopover in Korea was interesting also. I do hope to receive the machine tomorrow.
 
Hey briangrapes did you receive your order yet?
Macked :cool:
Yes, I did! Setup was quick and easy. I've been using a 12-inch PowerBook G4 for the past three years, so it's exciting to have a huge screen again. I couldn't even imagine having the 24-inch model, haha. I hope your system is working out well too.

well

FWIW, I ordered my 24" 2.8 w. 750 HD on the 17th and its on the same exact schedule from "In Transit SHANGHAI CN" onward and it is listed for delivery by 8/31 10am to Northern VA.


Well, I'm glad my mac isn't travelling alone. I am in PA, so if yours gets there on time mine will

Don't be too hasty on taking Weds. off just yet...I would bet that it will arrive on Tuesday...FedEx is usually a day early in my experience with them...even when they screw it up initially!

Agreed, FedEx shipped my new iMac yesterday and wasn't due until today and today my Applecare arrived and wasn't due until tomorrow. :)

Which would be good since the iPod is due Tues. Either way, we'll get 2 new Apple products at the same time or close to it and be playing with em both till no ends.

Time to hit Apple store again and look for a nice case for the iPod. It's going to goto my daughter as a bday present but you know mommy and daddy gotta play with it first........... QA check ya know, gotta make sure it works ;)

Yeah same here. I wonder if it's crashed into the ocean or something :(
 
^ same as. I dont think TNT update their tracking as much as FedEx do. Or most prob be held up for some reason. I can argue since estimated shipping is 31st aug - 5th sept. Looks like it will come next week then :rolleyes:

Don't really think there's too much to say though, to be fair. It's on it's way and you'll be notified when it's in your country.
