I ordered mine november 6th... it still says "november"
I really don't mind waiting at all... until today when they update the online store to 7-10 day wait until shipping.
I am thinking about canceling my order and ordering again.
Not sure about the posts that indicated that, but it's well-known that the i7s are custom build-to-order models that will never be available in stores. For the quad-cores, you'll only find the i5s in Apple Stores.
What's Apple's motivation in making the i7 a BTO option only? Why not sell it in store?
I'm not so sure about that. Shipments to the US from Shanghai usually route through Japan and here in Japan the Apple Store still shows "Ships in November".
WHOOO! Mines just gone to 'prepared for shipment'!
Australian order, placed 10/11/2009 (thats 10th Nov for all those in America). YIPPEEEE.
Heh, sorry to laugh but it does remind me of Star Wars :
I've been reading this thread in its entirety since day one. Every post. Every page. Thanks for the good times ladies and gentlemen. I picked up my i5 from Apple Store Leawood KS today after work. Enjoy your waiting.

Exactly. After those new benchmarks, I'd be willing to drop the extra $200 on the i7. Can't buy online though because I have a gift card (apparently those can only be used in store).
There is a bit of an update on mine; it now has a departure scan, an export scan, and most recently a hub scan, but still all in Shanghai.I would be very very skeptical. Mine hasn't even left Shanghai yet and it was picked up on Nov 11. I thought it left yesturday on flight UPS81 but it just received a second departure scan 20 minutes ago. It's supposed to be at my door on Wednesday. I'm not optimistic.

And with no update for abut 5 hours I am thinking this is a long flight to either France or Amsterdam. Hopefully these details WON'Tt start flick flacking about, with the impression the unit has gone back and forth to Shanghai)
The UPS date originally said 16th and then flicked t 17th and the 16th and at the moment there is no entry for the delivery date, but I guess until it lands somewhere it's not nec. clear how soon the unit will get to Blighty.

This is what happens if I try to check my order status right now:
"Apple's Online and phone Order Status services are temporarily unavailable due to a scheduled upgrade to our systems.
We apologize for any inconvenience."
So for those people who still say "November," maybe we will all have dates when the system comes back up.

Yep does it on both the US and AU sites. Maybe someone has read how annoying it it for people to not have an accurate status on their order and are doing something about it.. Hopefully![]()
Glad you got some movement. Mine is still stuck at DEPARTURE SCAN out of Shanghai. UPS had two flights out of Shanghai yesturday and still no movement! Both of those flights have gone on to fly from Anchorage to Louisville so hopefully I'll get some updates once they get there.There is a bit of an update on mine; it now has a departure scan, an export scan, and most recently a hub scan, but still all in Shanghai.
Mine took about 24 hours.How long did you guys wait after you got: Shipped - to you got tracking number?
