Coming up to 24hrs in Cologne already.

I'm sorry but people slating me for ratting on UPS all the time could try and see it from my perspective!

Apple/UPS dreamteam.

I have yet to see mine move from prepared for shipment. Starting to get discouraged.

The Fedex flight 28 from Shanghai to Anchorage is about to land. I hope my MBA made that flight. My estimated delivery is friday, but my Air left the FedEx origin facility at 11:29am while flight 28 departed Shanghai at 9"ish"pm. That's 9 hours for them to get it to the plane. I guess this flight has a daily schedule, usually leaving around 8-9pm (China time) and arriving 2-3pm (central time) in Anchorage. After the cargo goes thru customs in Anchorage, flight 28 arrives in Memphis around 1-2 am. If you paid for expedited shipping this is where it kicks in. Memphis is the big hub and everyone's packages will all go their own way.

Update:
It made the flight! YAY
Glad I paid the extra $13. That's the difference of getting it on friday instead of monday (and I'll have the weekend to play).

Well they're right on schedule so far. So yeah, they're doing a fine job.

Hoping it can actually get here by the 29th but I don't have my hopes up

Their schedule was a lot less ambitious than FedEx's for the USA, and now we see why.

Jobs likes a quality user experience, and UPS is not a company known for being one of the best in the business in that regard.

 

[cbruun]

They're not on schedule in Denmark, just got rescheduled until Monday, although I think it's possible I'll get it Friday, because it's coming to Cologne and afterwards driving (trucks i think or trains) to Denmark.

Well at least no one in Ontario got theirs yet. I'd hate to think that everyone got their bto and I'm stuck waiting!!

Come one plane!! Get across the border at least!

i'm wondering when do you guys think i'll be getting it? how long do these BTO/CTO models take to put together and send out?

thanks

My bad, 27th both ends.

That's freaky...my fedex order reads the same exact as yours time wise and everything. I'm sure we'll be getting ours the same day. I was hoping for tomorrow but I'm pretty sure it will at definitely be in our hands on Friday. Mine is going to Raleigh, NC.

I did not order expedited, as I was told they are one of the same by . Did you?

I need it, because I shipped my Rev b beauty out to a new owner yesterday. This better be worth it, that machine was my lifeblood for work.

It should give you an estimate. I'd say Wed. of next week for you.

 

[netdog]

Our machines have now been in Cologne over 24 hours. Hmmmm.

 

[frunkis54]

when your mba gets to alaska does it go to your area or does it have to go somewhere else before it goes to your area?

 

[HardLuckStories]

Our machines have now been in Cologne over 24 hours. Hmmmm.

It's ok though because UPS are doing a good job right and we should be glad of this service.

They mustve screwed up somewhere on tracking, surely they're not in Germany still.

It goes to one of their four hubs and then flies to your local. That all happens in 1 night.

UPS might want to study FedEx.
