Wait, FexEx says In Transit, isnoop says:

11/03/06 03:06 am
Held At Sort Facility
Indianapolis, IN

Which should I believe? In any case it looks like I will not get it until Monday.

Mine was delivered to my campus apartment office at 930AM. I actually saw the fedex truck driving away and I knew it was here. Now I just have to wait for the package slip for pickup. They give me too much lip without the package slip so I'll wait till mail is delivered.

Needless to say, I'm too excited...

Enjoy it, folks!

ONE DAY FROM CHINA!

Delighted for you guys and all to jealous at the same time.Count yourselves lucky your really being looked after in America and Canada by Apple.
Wish i was as fortunate as you.

Apple don't seem to want to look after us here in Dublin at all as well as you guys. I ordered my 17" MBP within 30 minutes of the update on the 24th of October and my order is still "not yet shipped" hasn't changed in 11 days.

And get this: estimated shipping date is 7th of November and
estimated delivery date is 21st of November.

A full two weeks from the date the order was placed and paid for.

I just really hope it gets to Ireland in one day from China too don't think ill be as lucky though. Mine has to stop off in the Uk for some reason before its shipped to Ireland.

Best of luck with them anyway.

According to GraceMalloy, who worked at FedEx while in college, it's worth a shot to go there and try to pick it up.

sometimes it's still on the truck and not actually in the warehouse (where a quick scan will tell them EXACTLY where it is).

If it's on the truck you're **** out of luck. If it's in the warehouse, don't take No for an answer.

Nothing to do with being in Ireland. Nobody has a new 17" MBP anywhere. They won't be shipping until next week at the earliest.

If it was on a truck that would have been OK, because they come back to the delivery center in the end. But mine is apperantly at the airport in a container with other packages and FedEx rep. said they will sort them out on Monday. Until then no MBP for me :(
