CTO shipping status says...?

Mine says not yet shipped. Sept 18 is my date i ordered August 18. Exactly a month . It was 5 weeks but got moved up after 2 days, why i dont know

Mine also says "Not Yet Shipped." It currently shows a ship date of August 31.

(As a side note: earlier this week, it was showing a ship date of September 20. Needless to say, I'm pretty excited to see that the date has moved up. Looks like those Mac Pro Airport cards are coming in ahead of schedule...)

Jacob did you also have the 1900 XT card in your order

No, I ordered the standard GEForce 7300 GT.

Basically, I ordered the stock model except:
• I upgraded to 2 gig total RAM
• I downgraded to the 160gb hard drive
• I ordered the Airport/Bluetooth option.

I should also mention that I live in the UK and ordered from the UK store.

Except... Oh, bugger... I just checked again, and my ship date is now back to September 18. That's really bizarre. Either there was a momentary glitch when I checked this morning, or Apple is messing with my mind.

Okay, I'm looking at it now. Originally ordered on August 12th as follows:

Country Kit

Also: What's Country Kit mean?

I called the local Apple store here in SF - lotsa friendly guys. The response was "Country Kit" refers to the type and make of electrical devices needed for the hardware. "Country Kit-B" would be for Mac machines sold in Britain. Straight "Country Kit" means the plugs on the hardware are compatible with American Electrical standards.

If you were visiting England and purchased a Mac Pro there for the intent of using it in the U.S. (and not in Britain) then you would request a standard "Country Kit" package instead of the "Country Kit-B" package which would be the default kit for the British.

Now if you *are not* located in England and your package says you will be receiving a "Country Kit-B" then call them right away and set the order straight! 🙂

I ordered my Mac Pro CTO with BT & Airport option from the FRENCH store, the August 16.

Last friday, the ship date was August 31, but today i got back my first estimated date : september 13 for the sipment, & 15 for the delivery.

I gonna call again the Apple sales support, this monday.

Hello Everyone--I've been following everyone's shipping comments with great interest over the last few days as I am also waiting for my Mac Pro. I ordered on Aug. 10. Because I ordered it with Blue Tooth/Airport, the initial ship date was Sept. 8. Just received email notification tonight that it has shipped!! Expected delivery (standard ground) is Sept 5. I was really hoping to get it before the holiday weekend (here in the States). Perhaps I still will. Fingers crossed. Just thought you'd all like to know so that you too can be a maniac and check your order status every half-hour.

I'm still looking at Sept. 13th as a shipping date. I ordered on Aug. 8th, but I chose to upgrade the video card to the ATI. I haven't seen the ship date change yet. Good luck to all who are in my same spot - patience, patience, patience. Ugh!

John that is excellent news , just curious did you also order the 1900 XT video card

Placed order on Aug 15, ship by Sep 20, deliver by Sep 27.

Guy--Sorry, I should have been more specific, especially knowing that so many have also ordered the 1900 XT. I did not. Blue Tooth + Airport, larger hard drive and more RAM were the only changes I made to the stock system. I'll upgrade the video card later. Don't know what it was, but seeing the estimated ship date switch to a possible 5 weeks when initially playing around with configurations stopped me (Not that it's all that much more than 4 weeks, but still). Also, from what was stated on Apple's site and from the comments others were making it just looked like upgrading the video card myself at a later date would be easier than installing the new Airport card.
