I've noticed that there a many days between shipping and delivery, why?

Do they ship them to Alaska first and then to Europe?
i have feb 6/18

along with the MBA I've ordered a cinema display and some other stuff.

when I asked if they could upgrade the shipping to something faster they explained that they couldn't do it because my MBA will arrive from asia to the Netherlands. and there it will be mergerd with the rest of my order and sent to me as a single shipment.

Noticed alot of corrolation between January 15th order shipping on Feb 5th, January 17th order shipping on Feb 7th etc.
We'll see. Shame I had to wait a couple of days to get into Uni and use my HE discount.

I ordered a 1.6/80 from an Apple authorized reseller about a week ago. This means I don't have any estimated delivery date (they say "same time as apple store customers"). I will notify you when it's arrived.

Hi illian, I edited my post ;)
Don't know why there is a difference -- do you have any extras (such as SuperDrive) included in your order?

:D I think there was a similar gap between shipment and delivery for someone from Germany, too. So I guess they're just randomize some dates ;)

Or they just thought of the spring festival that will take place in a few days, won't it? ;)

How far from the Netherlands do they think Ireland is??

Don't go there. I'm in Co. Kerry my last thing I ordered from Apple (Leopard DVD) took 3 weeks to get from the UK to me via UPS!! I kid you not :eek:

In fact my last 3 orders were all screwed up by UPS & Apple so I am praying it's TNT we get instead otherwise my arrival date of 13th Feb could well and truly be in jeopardy :D

Any chance these are coming in containers for EU pre-orders and stores and will be shipped from Ireland?

Not according to the customer services in Cork. I was told they will ship from china as is per norm for the laptops.

However I guess there may be a possibility that they give all the pre-orders in bulk to TNT/UPS and they re-distribute them from the Arhem Hub in the Netherlands.

So 24 people in and not one of us has shipping confirmation... So it definitely looks like they are giving the folks on the other side of that Atlantic preferential treatment.. (and overnight delivery options)

Even though we pay more overall :( Oh well :(

It seems this way. But as I'm having no experience with other product releases from Apple, I don't know whether that's just normal or not ...

No its not really normal at all. I've bought a fair amount of REV.A goods directly after they were announced but they have always shipped at around the same timeframe as our transatlantic neighbors.

In this instance though it certainly appears to have been utterly segregated.

I just spoke to Apple in Cork, Ireland and they have been told a guideline of 8th Feb generally for shipping for customers who enquire. So basically it's looking like none of us will see shipping until after this forthcoming weekend...

We'll just have to make do with all the package opening pictures from the other side and feel more than a little envious ;):D
