Just jealous of those with kit on a plane, or even marked as ready for shipping...

Ordered 16/512 Mini on the 18th Nov. Estimated arrival quickly moved to 23rd December !

Within two days of ordering notional dates quoted for same spec on the Apple sales site were up 11 days earlier

They have been creeping up but are still earlier than my projected arrival.

Clearly no point in cancelling and reordering as it will arrive when it arrives... :(

Today's the day if DHL can be trusted to drive the few miles from airport to the house. Ordered on the day of release.

Did yours leave? there were so many DHL planes i'd find it hard to believe it hasn't arrived yet.

Mine arrived at my local delivery facility at 6am and is expected to be delivered today.
Looks like it did eventually leave about 3 hours later.

So unless it has arrived here and just hasn't been scanned yet at the depot. It looks like it could be a day late :(.

Also now has "Shipment Delayed" on the Apple site.

It'd still hold out hope for today as DHL still have today as your estimated delivery date, and from experience with the flights I have been tracking we didn't get the departed airport updates until the flights were actually in the air.

Looks like it left quite early too so that should give it plenty of time to be scanned and loaded onto a van.

Mine hasn't been marked as loaded onto a van yet, i'd expect if it is coming today that should change anytime from now up until about 10am

DPD messed up everything...

'Sorry there is a delay with your parcel; this is normally resolved within 24 hours, and we will update you here shortly'.

Mac mini was due for delivery today, order from Apple.

For everyone who is supportive of rubbish DPD....

I wouldn't like to take that bet, I rarely get my package within a reasonable time, but I can always hope.

I just wish I was given a time frame instead of by the end of the day.

What does the courier say? I'd go with their tracking as being most accurate at this point.
UPS says the package left Cologne at 3am this morning. Hasn't received a scan in the UK yet so I don't think it was put on a plane. More likely a train and Eurotunnel.

Hi guys, I placed an order on the 18th of November for a 16/256 Mini and have a delivery range from the 15th to 22nd of December. Could some people maybe tell me how long it was until your credit cards were charged for these? I'm trying to construct a time line for when it might arrive.

My MBP is in the UK at last! It’s just arrived at Stanford-Le-Hope after leaving cologne last night. Here’s hoping it gets delivered tomorrow
