CTO shipping status says...?

Yea i went back and forth on ordering the card also at the time and just said do it, now i wish i did not but i will suffer through it. Seems like the others need some company. LOL

Just wanted to report that my Mac Pro with Airport/Bluetooth also shipped out yesterday (from Ireland--I'm in London). As I reported above, the ship date had been down to August 31 and then back up to September 18.

Anyway, it's now on its way. Good news for those of you waiting for Airport-equipped Mac Pros. (Although it doesn't do anything for those of you waiting on upgraded graphics cards--I just stuck with the base graphics card.)

Jacob & badjazz--Congrats! Bad jazz, my expected delivery date is now this coming Friday, Sept. 1. I am, however, all the way on the East Coast (US). I wish it would get here sooner, but if I get it before the weekend I'll be sooo happy. Jacob, do you know you're expected delivery date? Since it only has to cross the sea from Ireland shouldn't you be getting yours either tomorrow (Wednesday) or Thursday?

Hi John, I too have a delivery date of September 1. I am in Alabama but my original ship date was Sept. 15 with delivery by the 22nd. All I added to the original config. is Bluetooth and Airport. Fed Ex does Saturday delivery as well so there is an extra day if something goes wrong.

John, I'm showing estimated delivery by Thursday, 31 August.

I thought I'd just post what I have ordered just for the he2l of it. Who knows when it'll actually come in, but let's say they might as well rename the day it comes in Christmas. I've been looking forward to a desktop Mac for years. It's been more agony waiting for it after I ordered it on the 22nd (My birthday! :D). Due date is 21st of September. I hope it comes earlier, but if it doesn't I'll just have to wait.

Looked at it every day since the 8th, and today it just went to shipped!
It's supposed to be here tomorrow! I know this is silly, but I don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight!!!

I know all this does is give those of us still waiting another reason to compulsively check our order status, but...

I spoke to an Apple rep the other day about something else, and asked about the shipping date. He told me that the "estimated shipped by..." date on our order status page is the latest possible date. If the original wait time when you ordered said 3-5 weeks, your estimated shipping date would be the worst-case scenario 5th week.

Pretty smart, I guess...then either it will be shipped when they said or it will be shipped early - either way I have no reason to complain as a consumer, right?

Anyway, sounds like it is probable many computers will ship before the actual date on the order status page -

Shoot - just another reason to check that stupid page 20 times a day.

yea when i called them like 2 days after i ordered it to find out about my apple care they said they didn't know why it was that long. But i'm not checking it at-least 3 times a day! My 3 weeks were up yesterday so i'm hoping it will come soon.

I can't wait any longer i cancelled the 1900 card and it did push the ship date up 12 days . so i am hoping next week. I will order it seprately and pay the extra money or maybe when the 19050 comes out the 1900 will get really cheap. i lost a few dollars here on they way it was handled from a businees account to a non business account. Hard to explain but i simply can't wait any longer.

Hello All--Just thought I'd drop a line to give you a status report on the shipping of my Mac Pro with Blue Toot/Airport. It was supposed to arrive today (Friday, September 1) here on the east coast (US). It left California this past Monday (5 days ago). Mind you, in my situation, FedEx did a horrible job updating the tracking information. In fact, I just got off the phone with FedEx customer service and the guy told me that it's scheduled to be delivered Sept 1. It's now 7:30 at night--I'm not going to be seeing it. He then asked ME if the delay could have something to do with the weather. Finally, he told me that the only address they have listed is the city, zip code and NOTHING else. Now this comes as a surprise to me because the address when I ordered is exactly the same one I used when ordering my Apple Cinema Display (which arrived two weeks ago and is sitting here next to me in it's box). I haven't made any changes at all to my shipping address on Apple's site. Looks like the earliest I'll see it, if it hasn't been stolen, is this coming Tuesday (Monday is a holiday here in the States). Just thought I'd share that--I'm sure some of you can sense my anquish, especially after the wait many of us have already endured. Good luck to the rest of you. I sure hope you don't have to put up with the same thing.

John
