Severnya Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Hi y'all, I am waiting for my MacBook which I ordered on release day. I am still within the delivery time, but my order is having some delays according to TNT. I rang them, and they said that they wait for a certain number of orders to arrive before shipping out. This is the cause of the delay. So to put any awaiting owners minds at ease, I thought I'd post the reason.

TonyKL Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Cheers for that, mine is also sitting waiting with yours. I wonder how long the delay will be - surely there are a lot of people ordering MacBooks ? 21 May 2006 08:00 Pudong International Airport Potential Connection Delay Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/18189-shipping-delay-in-shanghaipudong-airport/#findComment-118846 Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrrjrr Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 Out of curiosity, are they shipping from the US (California?) to Europe by way of China, or are they originating directly from a factory drop ship in the China vicinity?

TonyKL Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 Mine is in London and I'm at work Bet theres zero chance that it will be delivered this bank holiday. Have to wait until tomorrow now.

cyberheater Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 Mine still reports as being in a hub in Northhampton. I was meant to get it tomorrow but as I live in Scotland I think doubt i'll get it. More likely Wed/Thur. I must admit i'm a bit hacked off with Apple/TNT. If PC world sold 'em I would cancel and pick one up straight from there.

TonyKL Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 Shame, I would have bought on from Apple Store in Regent Street but alas they did not have any in stock, Apple shipped the MacBook 2 days after order so cant complain there (and this stoped me cancelling too) its just taken TNT ages to ship it because they waiting for a large order before leaving Pudong.

Severnya Posted May 29, 2006 Author Share Posted May 29, 2006 Mines sat in Northampton right now. So I'm wondering how its going to get here overnight. My estimated delivery is......... TOMORROW. I think that there is a fat chance of that happening. But this all raises a good point. How can apple say that a Laptop takes 2 full weeks to arrive from china/pudong/where-ever. If I order a dell - 3 working days. Thats significantly different to Apple's methods. They should reconsider who they ship with, cos I think 2 weeks is just not on. Anway, I'll end the rant there, but surfice to say - I only ordered through the Online store for the discount. £831 for a 2GHz White with 1gb RAM aint bad.

cyberheater Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 Unless they ship from Northhampton to Edinburgh overnight then there's no chance i'll be getting mine tomorrow. I agree. Two weeks is too long... Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/18189-shipping-delay-in-shanghaipudong-airport/#findComment-121282 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Severnya Posted May 29, 2006 Author Share Posted May 29, 2006 My bad. Mumbai is def in India I dont think that TNT show the movement from/to of its intenal offices. Since mine was Recved at Northhampton after being Recved at Arnhem - no mention of it being moved between. so maybe its moving to the local offices as we type, if not then it will be Wednesday Apple should consider FedEx/UPS/DHL etc - TNT just arnt fast enough.
