Ordered my 13 2.4 4GB 256 GB Oct. 20 (the day they were announced) at about 1 pm Pacific Time.

..snip..

So, Fedex gave it to the wrong person, and they took and signed for it...

And the way this works is, even if Fedex finds it and gets it back, it goes back to Apple to make sure it hasn't been tampered with, and I have to wait for Apple's "investigation" to conclude before they will issue me a replacement.

Ugh! :-(

So kindadukish, what's the latest and greatest?

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.

http://www.pressroom.ups.com/Press+...leases/Statement+on+UPS+Package+Investigation

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.

I ordered my MacBook air 11" on 10/22/10 was shipped out from Shanghai on the 25th with a delivery date from fedex of 10/29/10 by 4:30pm. Sounds great. Well I heck the tracking info the 28th and it still says it arrived in Memphis tn as it has said for 2 days but my delivery date of Friday is still the same. So I figured maybe a glitch in the system no big deal. Then I find out my buddy who lives 2 minutes from me an ordered his same system config at the same time as mine was delivered an mine was still coming the next day (Friday) I wait around all day yesterday (Friday) as fedex tracking says it will now be here by 2pm. Awesome I think.. NOT! Fedex tracking still shows it never left Memphis an it's now 4pm I called fedex 4 different times because I couldn't get a straight answer. Apparently they claimed my shipment was mislabeled in China an wound up going to Illinois instead of Florida but they claimed they fixed the sticker on the package an it will be delivered. They just don't know when. They were the worst customer service and won't admit they are wrong an wouldn't express itto me overnight for their screwup. Coldnt be more pissed. So now my tracking information does not even have a delivery date and it shows it is BACK in Memphis again as of 5am this morning. But the tracking never said it went to Illinois so I think I'm being screwed with. Case in point I better Get this thing by monday an will never deal with fed ex again. The excitement of eventually receiving this thing isn't that great anymore especially as my buddy has his and made me feel even more screwed over.

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!!!

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 :)

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?)

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. :(

Shipping to UK is probably quicker than to Sweden, thats probably why.

Panicking? I was just getting angry! :p
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!
