tracking

At last - TNT is tracking as pickup from today - hopefully they'll get it to my local depot by tomorrow eve - then I can go and get it and not have to wait until monday!

(to tune of yesterday!)

Yesterday,
My iMac seemed so far away.
Now I know that it is on the way!
I'm glad its not still yesterday.

Seriously, Life was beginning to feel like groundhog day when I would wake up and there would still be no sign of an imac delivery. Part of me still expects the ship to sink or the plane to crash.

I use an EyeTV on my (rev. a) iMac G5 and I've been very happy with it. The computer is in the office, and there is no toher TV there - It does a great job playing double duty.

My remote control stopped working a a couple weeks after I got it, and their response was very good. They replied back to my email same-day and said they'd send out a new remote the next day. I had it two days later, simple as that, no questions asked. So in my experience their serivce is very good!

It's cool - rocked up to the Apple Store in Regent Street - they were brilliant! Replaced it, took a statement and reassured me that if anything like it happened again, they'd only be too pleased to help.

Great service...

With that, I bought an Airport Express to go with the system. But now, I've got a few problems - so if anyone's in "the know" about what to do, please scoot over to the associated thread.

Cheers, all - and good luck with the new iMacs!!!

:)

Just a few miles north of me.

Excited now!

Lucky you, TNT tells me:
19 maj 2005 14:52 Arnhem Hub Consignment Passed Through Transit Point
I'm almost 24 hours after you, I guess UK deliveries have a higher priority :(

Yeh what does 'passed through' mean anyway, does that mean its left NL or just the driver got lost!

I think Arnhem is just a hub along the way to be honest. After mine passed through Arnhem it went to Eindhoven and it was then shipped from there over here to the UK.

Click on 'contact us' on their web page - it's a freephone number - ask them if there's a chance of paying a little extra for a saturday delivery.

TNT showed:
19 maj 2005 16:39 Arnhem Hub Consignment Received At Transit Point
19 maj 2005 16:37 Arnhem Hub Consignment Passed Through Transit Point
19 maj 2005 14:52 Arnhem Hub Consignment Received At Transit Point
19 maj 2005 14:52 Arnhem Hub Consignment Passed Through Transit Point
which looked very strange to me!
So I called them, and the first thing she asked after I gave her my tracking number was, "will you be home tomorrow?" :eek:
I told her no, and then she asked me if I wanted it delivered to my job, and I said yes and gave her the address. "Between 8 and 16 tomorrow then", she said! I still don't fully believe it!

I called the local mac reseller here and they had two in stock, and they put one on the side for me, then I tried to cancel my order on Apple's site, and it said I had to call a 1-800 number, so I called and they told me I cannot cancel it anymore but I can wait until it gets here and return it :rolleyes: So I called the local mac reseller and told them to forget it as Apple can't cancel my order :(

Grrrr! I hate waiting :p

Back to the beginning!!!

Tracking has been telling me my new iMac is "Out for Delivery" at the depot in Amsterdam for 3 days now. I live in UK so presumed it was out to be delivered to UK.
Tracking has just updated and it's back in APPLE SHANGHAI CHINA!!!!
Ordered it on the web within minutes of it being announced-now right back where I started.
Not impressed at all.
My iPod took forever to arrive from Shanghai last year. I should've known.
Sort your "EXPRESS DELIVERY" out Apple!

Just received my BTO 20" iMac w/ BT K&M yesterday! Man, this thing is huge! And so much brighter than my 17" iMac 800.

My old Bondi Blue couldn't miss a photo opt. :)

Bought it nearly four years ago for 20 bucks at a local thrift store. She still works, except for some stuck keys. I'll be handing down the 17 to my little sis, so my desk won't be that crowded.

BTW, first time, long time.

Hehe, that's funny. I think it's because they're tracking only applies to once it arrives in Canada.

A note on my iMac which I received one week ago. The hard drive already crashed on me and it's already been taken in for repairs! Kind of sucks that a 6 day old computer's hard drive died :(

Why didn't you demand a new one. It clearly falls under the DOA warranty and 14 day return policy. It seems a lot of users aren't aware of this.

I paid for overnight however it came 5 days later. One call to Apple and they will refund it back to your card. My refund showed up on Tuesday.
