UPDATE 2 Grrreat news, just in time to welcome me from a nice training camp in Czech Republic: I hoped that Apple’s estimate would be as much off as with the iMac we bought a year ago and, lo and behold, today I got the most anticipated message in a long time:
We are pleased to send you this shipment notification regarding your order. Your order has been dispatched and will be delivered to your shipping address.
This is almost a month sooner than their latest estimate, proving that also others than those who opted for the 2.16GHz upgrade can get their new darlings a lot sooner than expected. Come to daddy.
UPDATE Both good and bad news. Good news first: The 1.83GHz Intel Core Duo chip has been automatically replaced by a 2.0GHz one in my order. Then the bad news: the estimated shipping date has been postponed to March 21.
How long will my order Take
Your order should ship on or before 07.03.2006
Please allow a further 3-7 days from this date to deliver your order.
Buggers. Hope the estimate is as far off as usually.
Apple is managing to pee this user off as well (In Finland). Ordered Imac duo within 30 minutes of Keynote end. Order delayed and delayed and delayed yet you can buy them same day in the U.S.
Frikkin Apple.
Darren,
Yeah, guess they are up to their knees with new orders at the moment. However, a year ago when we ordered a new iMac they said it would take 8 weeks and it took two. So sometimes they do deliver faster than they promise.
You’ve had good luck then :) Never happens with my Apple orders. They don’t even send the invoices for tax afterwards without a struggle.
And as for service…grr…
Darren,
Can’t say anything bad about their service. In fact it’s always been very helpful.
