How is it Apples fault exactly? They've contracted it out to a third-party whom - I might add - thousands of other businesses use as well.
As for the "high end and expensive purchases" - TNT won't really know nor care about the package contents, the sort of volumes they and other couriers deal with it's not even relevant. I appreciate as the end customer this package is the most important thing in the World to you, but just trying to present some perspective on this.
Hope you get it resolved soon.

I think you misunderstand me. I'm not blaming Apple for TNT's failings, I'm saying that Apple are responsible for them as I bought the item from Apple, not TNT. It is Apples responsibility that my purchased item gets from them to me, however they choose to do that. So whilst Apple has not done anything wrong per se, the fact that I have not got my item and they cannot tell me what's going on is entirely their responsibility and it is for them to resolve. The fact that I am getting involved and trying to speak to both them and TNT in the hopes of getting my macbook earlier rather than having to wait another month for them to ship another one out to me is really irrelevant.
The macbook certainly is not the most important thing in the world to me, but since we are consumers paying a lot of money for these items, why should the company making the profit and pushing a higher profit margin by using a courier company that has a questionable delivery history be allowed to pass the buck onto the courier company? I fulfilled my part of the bargain but they have not. This is a two way street.

Got mine this afternoon. Will post some pictures in a bit but just quick question.
Is there any Mini Displayport to normal Displayport adapters or cables?
My Dell 3008 30" has normal size displayport and normal size cable so I can't plug it in how I was going to.
I did not read or look right before buying and thought it would be a straight fit.
For now it is not possible to connect displays with a normal-size DisplayPort connector to one of the new MacBooks, as Apple does not offer a Mini-DisplayPort to DisplayPort adapter, and using DVI as an intermediate would limit the maximum resolution.

nero120, any news on your Mac?
Apple support didn't get back to me today which is annoying, but I have been speaking to UPS separately and they reckon my package is in their depot and will deliver it to my work address tomorrow. Knowing my luck though, I half expect to find a caged bengal tiger waiting for me at the reception desk!
Well jealous of yours though, she looks great! Enjoy!
Though it was TNT that was doing your deliver? Or have i read wrong??
Anyway I really hope you get yours tmr what did you order?
I dont know whether to by a new MBP to replace my nearly 2 years old one.. Or bet myself a iMac when it refreshed
