TNT shipment tracking woes - familiar?

(Because the other thread is huge)

Ordered my MacBook online on 28th May (Sunday), and was given a delivery date of 7th June. I can track the shipment fine through TNT. Only problem is, it's the 6th of June and the status hasn't changed since June 1st. It's still in China:

Pick up date 31 May 2006
Destination Edinburgh
Delivery Date
Signatory
Date Time Location Status
01 Jun 2006 20:40 Suzhou Shipped From Originating Depot
31 May 2006 19:20 Suzhou Consignment Received At Transit Point

Two phonecalls to TNT yielded the same answer: the last place it was scanned was the depot in China and it's still on schedule for delivery on the 7th, so it should be fine. Now I'm no expert on the logistics of international shipping, but it strikes me as highly unlikely that TNT will be able to get my MacBook from China to Scotland inside a day and a half when it normally seems to take them a week and a half.

Has anyone else had (or is having) a similar experience?

MacBook 2.0 Ghz (white) Mac OS X (10.4.6) (Somewhere in a TNT depot in China)

Simon,

Believe me, I'd be into that box if I could. Yep, it is reassuring to hear that others are as impatient and dare I say it excitable.

Looks like 7 days in transit is pretty decent. I think my delays came down to weekends and Dutch holidays.

Well it is worth the wait and you'll have a lovely evening (and months if not years) with it.

Anyway, if you want to check out iChat with iSight at any point feel free to give me a 'shout'. My iChat ID is simon.wolf@mac.com.
