Hey guys,

I haven't actually ordered anything from Apple online before, but I ordered a Macbook Pro CTO on Sunday and here's my shipment tracking from Fedex. What exactly is Int'l shipment release and why did my package go from Alaska to Indiana when I'm in Texas? lol :)

that status deals with customs. It is standard for your package to go through that and it means that your package has cleared customs and has no problems. It probably went to indiana because its a hub closer to texas than alaska.

Oh, I see. A friend of mine was saying it meant that its currently under U.S. Custom's inspection and that it would take 24 hours to clear.

Thanks for your input, now I know it's already been cleared :)

OK Guys... Mine at the moment has the same status and i am a bit worried..maybe alot...Is this status telling me it has cleared customs or is it under cleareance? Because I have seen other track details online for other people and they had some clearance process after this status!

Please somebody content my heart!
