The wait is killing me

[Xavier]

I fainted when I turned my MBP on for the first time.

Perspective.....

Well I guess Im just a little disappointed. I've spent the last 2 months reading absolutely everything I can about Apple and their products. Seeing how everything is AMAZING. I expected the buying part to be the same as the rest of the package, amazing.

It just a crappy way of being introduced to Apple. Maybe they need to rethink how they take their orders or at least their systems.

I know im going to adore my iMac but this has just got me down.

Midway through the summer, you'll be using your new Mac & will barely be able to remember that long wait you had... A watched pot never boils.... be patient, it'll get here.

Amazing, that in this day & age... fast is not fast enough, and yesterday is too late. If it takes 1 more day, it won't be the end of the world... life will go on....right? (just my 2 cents)

Well I just find it strange that you can buy say camera parts from Hong Kong and have it arrive to you in like 3 days but Apple can't send me my iMac in 10?

Hey, I totally agree... I was just pointing out that NOT EVERYTHING happens in the blink of an eye. Camera makers in Hong Kong might drink more Starbucks coffee than the folks at Apple... there are a handful of reasons why things are the way they are.

I mean im ok with waiting when there is a reason for it. The problem I have here is their system has been telling me its "ready to be dispatched" since Tuesday. It was estimated to be dispatched my Wednesday.

It's their system which is making me nervous for telling me its ready but just sitting in a warehouse somewhere . IF it said something like Queing for dispatch then maybe but ready for dispatch?

It'll get there eventually and then you can have fun playing.

You might want to call your local mail depots (FedEx, UPS etc) and ask if they have a package for you. Sometime mail falls through the cracks and has already shipped.

I have had this before, now that I think of it. I ordered two iPod 30gb back in the day and they were saying ready to be shipped when the UPS guy came to the door.

I ordered a 2.8 24" with the video and hard drive upgrades and its already in MEMPHIS, TN 5 days later.

Well I recieved an email from Apple so I was in joy \o/ \o/ \o/

So they dispatched it today. Estimated Arival date 8th of JULY

My Courier is TNT I got a tracking code and everything but I cannot find out where its coming from. Anyway the courier tracking code details me estimated 3rd of July but Apple says 8th. I think thats Apple playing it safe right?

Would save yourself a lot of hand wringing if you would have called the Apple Store at 1-800-676-2775 to check the status.

Don't any of you guys have a brick and mortar Apple Store near you? I have 2 within 30-40 miles of me. Anyway I am patiently awaiting my Mac day. Should be getting mine by the end of the summer, going to get a 24" 3.06GHz model, and I'm getting the 1TB drive and just 2GB of RAM. I know it's easy to upgrade the RAM yourself, but I hear it's nearly impossible to upgrade the HD.

Not going to have much room for the Mac, but I'll make it fit somehow. Already have a 3GHZ Quad-core Pc running Vista x64 on a 24" Samsung. I hope I don't pop a breaker in the computer room. :-/

Yey \o/ my iMac has gone from Prague friday night to Nuernberg this early morning ... Im going to be tracking its progress through europe via google maps, fun stuff.

Its suppose to come by the 3rd of July. Lets see.

I'm in the same hell now, but I don't know exactly when I'll get my package (3.06 standard). US -> Poland, it should be about 2-4 weeks. Aaaaa! Can't wait so long.
