Apple shipment help

ok,

so the macbook was despatched yesterday, heres what it says:

Estimated Delivery Date 26 Jun 2008 (Subject to change)

Current Delivery Status In Transit to Customer - Shipment on Schedule 17 Jun 2008

So do you think it will turn up today? It cant take 9 days to arrive unless someone is gonna walk it 400 miles or whatever

The bloody thing aint turned up! boo!

The site says it will be arriving today!

The package tracking system for apple orders has been appalling.

Aye, when I put the order in for me MBP it was useless, phoned up apple 3 times and got 3 different times for it to be delivered. Joke, luckily the MBP more than makes up for the initial wait for the thing.

1GB of RAM should suffice but I would suggest getting at least 2GB, after loading up iTunes and Safari and Mail I have around 1.2GB of RAM to play with. I am looking at getting 4GB this week, due to some programs eating up a bit too much and sometimes the OS can get a bit laggy.

Phoned up apple today spoke to this nice american/canadian man. I asked if they were walking it to my door to save on the fuel costs, he laughed then said it was coming from china!

I got mine around 4 days before the expected shipping date.

Mine was despatched on the 18th, arrived in UK this morning early on, not expecting it till tuesday though.

RoleyBirkin · 20 Jun 2008 at 21:31

I'm surprised at some of these times

I've had 3 recent dispatches, all of which arrived the next day.

Acathla · 20 Jun 2008 at 22:52

I couldn't be more happy with Apple delivery times. Ordered Wed night, macbook, time capsule + a scanner and laptop case arrived today! Macbook was at stock spec though (Ordered larger HD + 4GB Ram seperate)

VaderDSL · 20 Jun 2008 at 23:33

Depends if it's custom order

pre-configured stuff will come direct from warehouses in UK or Ireland, CTO's typically come from Eastern Europe/Asia iirc

Johnz0r · 21 Jun 2008 at 08:03

Yeah mine was a custom built machine so it had to come from Shanghai. Weird if the OP's machine is a standard one off the website as they are supposed to ship from a place in Ireland.

craptakular · 22 Jun 2008 at 15:10

The only thing I added was an apple remote! They class that as custom, even though I assume they just chuck an apple remote into the same box lol

crazy in my eyes.

VaderDSL · 22 Jun 2008 at 15:25

What options did you choose on your macbook?

Mine was shipped on 18th and arrives on 24th

was hoping for it this weekend, not to worry

I only hope the concierge sign for it on my behalf.
