According to UPS's site, it's only flights out of Yemen which are affected by the bombs - seems flights out of Germany are ok.

Another interesting thing I've noticed is that UPS.com doesn't seem to give you the whole story on your package. The website says the latest on my MBA is that it departed Cologne at 4.00am, but according to the iPhone app Posted, the latest is 'In Transit To' East Midlands Airport at 4.01am. I'm guessing it must have got on a flight but it's yet to be scanned in in England.

FINALLY my shipment was received at my local "destination depot"!
Things are looking up for a delivery tomorrow morning.

Mine has been sat in my local depot for 24 hours already... Looks like a delivery monday. I don;t think Fedex deliver on a sunday!

Im pretty sure they dont deliver on weekends or public holidays.
Same thing here in Aus, my MBA is at my local depot which is literally a 5 minute drive. I will just have to wait.
I feel your pain!!! I ordered mine on the 20th with a reseller so I could not see the shipping info. Phoned them up on Thrusday to see if it would get to me before Friday only to be told it didn't ship yet!! I was pissed!!! Not sure what happened. But I will phone Monday to get a update. I just hope it gets to me before the 5th.

Steve31, keep on them. Keep speaking to one person that can track and update you on the progress.
Funny, although I got mine Friday, been updating it using time capsule wirelessly. Looks like it'll tak 3 days to finish!! God this time capsule is slow! I'm using an original 1tb model and is insanely unfast.
By the time I transfer, hopefully you'll have your machine...

Yes, that was me too. Still, the best is the anardtech review. That was like a never ending report that was fun to read.

Stuck in Cologne
I ordered 13.3/4/256 on 25 October. It has been sitting in Cologne for a day and a half, and apparently will not be delivered to central London until 3 November... What gives?
You'd think after having done Shanghai - Korea - Kazakhstan - Poland - Germany in a little over a day, it could get to London from Cologne sooner!!!

Ours are on the same plane, I have the same route, with the exact same times. Mine is heading for Sweden.
When is your expected delivery?
Apple says 2nd, last UPS estimate was 3rd.
1st might be wishful thinking but im really hoping it gets to me on the 2nd.
How long was yours in Shanhgai?
From what I can gather ours is going from Dubai to Cologne direct

Mine is on this plane too. Small world huh.
My expected delivery date is the 3rd, seriously hope it gets here on the 2nd though.
Put my order in on the 27th it was after working hours though
1.86 4 GB Ram
We've ordered the same computer as well(unless you ordered 128). I put my order in at 10am on the 25th! Was getting really frustrated by the 3rd and 4th "departure" scans. Thought it would never leave shanghai!
Apple inundated with BTO's?
I just ordered an 11.6" 1.6Ghz, 128Gb here in Portugal and although it says delivery three working days the ETA is 11th to 12th November, funny working days they have.
(why don't we round up the 11.6" to a 12" and done with?)

I dont have the Koeln package data posts though.
My expected delivery on the apple site is 4th. It was rescheduled for 5th on UPS but it disappeared.
Are you using the UPS site to track?
Strange that ours in on the same plane but has different delivery estimates. Wow, yours didn't sit in Shanghai for 3 days doing nothing like mine did!
Do you think that because yours doesn't have the Cologne data posts that it could be delayed there?
Yes I'm using the UPS site, the apple tracking site doesn't have any information.
I must admit I started panicking on Friday night when it was still in Shanghai.
I thought the may have shipped it slower as I ordered through the EDU store, people reporting that they are getting it a day earlier than estimated gives me hope for Tuesday though.
I went to the apple store to have a play with them and I wish I didnt now as its making the wait even more unbearable. I don't really help myself with online shopping for new mice and cases though.

Panicking? I was just getting angry!
I also ordered it out of the EDU store, albeit over the phone because I wasn't on campus.
I've been looking at cases all day!
I've yet to see my new computer in person. Looking forward to the "surprise" when it gets here. Although from all the reviews and youtube videos i've seen, it won't be much of a surprise!
