"Prepared for Shipment" for two days...

pionata said:
Anyway, I got insurances for the first time this year and feel really secure in case I get my stuff stolen (as long as they don't steal my backup harddrive).

I ordered the same computer as you, i7 with 8 gigs (16 gigs was too expensive). Should be a great machine, almost 4 times more powerful than my macbook pro and has the potential of 4 times more ram.

I'm really going to use all it's potential, I've been developing a music production setup which requires over 6 gigs of ram minimum and lots of processor power (which is why my laptop could not cut it anymore).

gosh, 2 days...

Yeah I did get lucky enough to have my external hd and iPod passed over, (weird seeing as they took a glass jar of pennies and an empty 5 dollar desktop cd rack.) They left all peripherals and cords, the power cord and keyboard and mouse for the iMac and the iBooks power adapter which was plugged into it as well, couldn't be bothered I guess. I lost only a couple pages of my writing, didn't back up the iBook religiously.

I write and when I have time and motivation produce and direct movies and I'll use the computer for editing (for the time being home movies of my son) and writing and while I know people around here don't like it I download torrents, mostly large amounts of TV Shows but when I feel like it a movie or two. I also own an extremely large DVD collection and I am now trying to get rid of a little less than half of it and I still am above 500 of them. I have always been one to download or rent and then if I like it I buy it. As for TV I have cable but I hate watching shows any other way.

I hate waiting, this is the worst.

Just saw that you ordered the same day I did, so hopefully my status will change soon. I have no idea what the holdup is. Grrrrr. It shouldn't take this long!
 
Thank you. I ordered on the 9th. My original estimates were Ships on the 24th and Delivers on the 1st. Now my apple email says Delivery Estimate 24th and the Fedex page says the 23rd.

Be that as it may it also says, "Shipment Exception" Shanghai, CN." It says in transit and the details say...

Keep in mind this is on Shanghai time for now:

Feb 18, 2010 11:41 AM - Picked up - SHANGHAI CN - Package received after FedEx cutoff
Feb 17, 2010 7:41 AM Shipment information sent to FedEx

I don't know what to expect... well when to expect it because of that.

Also, I have only ordered one mac online before and it's been a few years, is there supposed to be details given (like the serial of my machine?) I've noticed some people seem to know what week machine they are going to receive while it's on it's way. Maybe it's a phone order thing?

Good luck to the rest of you waiting, I'm happy but also in a new excruciating waiting period. When are they going to be able to perfect the damn trans-matter ray? :)

Mine is exactly as yours except fedex also says EDD is the 24th. I'm not sure i am too happy with that since I paid for expedited 2-3 day shipping. Tomorrow should count, and if they are doing shipments on Saturday that should too. I should at least have it by the 23rd. I'm so impatient.

Glad it's shipping. :) Hate to throw this in but yeah I took the free shipping because I thought I would be on a four day in Vegas this weekend and I had kind of expected it to be shipped around now. Maybe they'll take better care of yours at least? I don't know. :confused:
 
I also am receiving mine on the 23rd. It says shipping exception right now but estimated delivery date is the 23rd by 10:30. I ordered mine on the 10th of Feb so I'm pretty happy I didn't have to wait till the estimated date of the 25th for mine to ship!

I have no idea why mine will take longer when i ordered first. Did you get expedited shipping? I think I am going to call and ask them to refund my shipping cost.
 
Called and they refunded the shipping. It should have been scheduled to deliver on Monday since I paid the extra shipping but showed 5 day delivery time instead of 3.
 
Good that definitely warrants a refund. I didn't pay for 2-3 shipping. I just left it alone with free shipping.
