That's not acceptable, I must be worth your while to call Apple over the delays.

They had really bad storms in Louisville yesterday, including a tornado.

Was hoping to have it by tomorrow morning, but thats not gonna happen. Ah well, nice prezzie when I get back home next week.

It did disappear between Korea and Kazakhstan, and had an exception (whatever that means).

Amusing self installing virtualbox ubuntu on an ancient pc - now that is slow...

Really looking forward to my new toy (no, honest its a main machine, not a toy at all).

Maybe its time for the pub.

Ohhh, that explains alot. Well better late than never. Just hoping I dont have any "loose hinge" issues as stated throughout the forum...

I ordered Thursday morning 4am EST lol. Took me the whole day + a totally degenerate state of mind to finally decide to pull the trigger.

 

[nigbose]

race you!

Title says it all, ho ho.

 

[stillone]

Order received

I placed my order on Wednesday the 20th for a 13', 2.13, 4GB unit. The unit arrived in Michigan on Tuesday the 26th, two days ahead of what the delivery window on the shipping notification.

 

[tigres]

Place your bets,

Mine was shipment info received on 10/25- Shanghai
Still in Shanghai as of 10/27
This afternoon (10/27) it arrived in Anchorage AK at 8:30 AM
My order says (FedEX) says delivered by 10/28 4:30 PM
Apple says deliver by 11/1
I am in MI

10-27 it was in Shaghai and 10-26 it was in Anchorage?

I bet it comes on the 29th.

 

[netdog]

I'm getting seriously worried now.

You think 18+ hours is bad? Mine has been stuck in Louisville, Kentucy for 48+ hours. With no indication of it leaving anytime in the near future. I ordered just after the store went live and its been sitting in the same city for over 2 days.

we are in the same boat! are u in Canada? when did u purchase?

Yea I'm in Ontario. Looks like all the custom configs coming to Canada are taking their sweet ass time. At least I know now that I'm not the only one. Are the others shipping to Ontario stuck in Louisville as well?

 

[HardLuckStories]

I'm getting seriously worried now.

If I order from ebuyer, ie UK only, guaranteed next day is anytime before 2300 (awesome service btw). That said, I would expect those airs have to be in the UK at around 2300 or so to get delivered tomorrow.

I **** in hate ups

I expect the Airs to still be in Koln until about 2am. It's only a 2 hour flight. Arrive at East Midlands for 4am. Then out for delivery shortly after. You'll have it tomorrow.

 

[freyrrr]

FYI. I collected mine from the UPS depot.

Until one clown in a brown suit falls over a banana skin and thats the show stopped at the UPS circus for the day.

Why not have it standing by in the UK to start with, but then people all over the inter webs wouldn't be decrying UPS now would they.

I don't understand your problem. UPS have done nothing wrong, I imagine they initially told you you'd receive it on the 29th (that's what I was told, before it changed to the 28th) maybe the 28th. It's currently the 27th. If it was the 30th I'd understand your anger towards UPS.

I don't have my air, there's the problem!

 

[netdog]

It's making him nervous that after sitting on the dock in China "Prepared To Ship" (i.e. waiting for UPS), and then going through Korea, Kazakhstan and Poland, his computer has been sitting in Cologne for 22 hours.

These aren't great logistics. Americans who ordered right after the event already have had their computers for a day and a half.

Screw UPS.
