I ordered mine Oct 19, 2005 at 6:54, and had an estimated shipping date of the 16th, according to the UK Apple store, it still hasn’t shipped!

FEK YEAH!
Just phoned the Apple Store UK and they said that my order was in their dispatch depo and will be shipped today at lunchtime! - Yes TODAY! - he said the order will show up as being shipped later this afternoon on the store website. (FYI: my estimated ship date was on or before 25th November). I've got a weeks holiday to take before the end of the year. Looks as if it'll be next week to get to know my new quad and 23" display [EDIT] A quick look at the current Quad G5 order page shows an estimated ship time of 9-11 days for all new orders. Looks like the quad production line is finally in full swing. Last edited by Leftofsix : 2005-11-17 at 03:56. |

Phoned Apple UK, and they dont know why it hasnt shipped... maybe because I only ordered a Quad, and not a screen and other stuff as well? I’ll just put the box of RAM I ordered yesterday in the space that should be filled by a Quad.

Grrr....just checked the online order tracker and it says... 7th December. Not good, and not what I was told at the time of ordering. Doesn't bode well for the big project I must have finished by the 19th December, either...

Ordered Oct 31 from UK Applestore due to ship Dec 27: Quad Base, AP+BT, NVIDIA 7800GT, Applecare (first time I have ever brought applecare with the 9 Macs that I have owned, for no other reason than wanting some protection from the water cooled system leaking or drying out) |

Phoned Apple UK again! Seems my base config Quad G5 and many others were en route from China, and have been delayed by customs in Amsterdam for 48 hours. No wonder they are so fast they must be on speed!

Just received this from Apple UK...
Dear Apple Store Customer, Thank you for shopping at the Apple Store. The demand for the product you ordered has been higher than anticipated. We are shipping as quickly as possible, but cannot meet the ship date we previously estimated for you. We now expect to ship your order by November 22nd, 2005. Please note that product availability can change rapidly and it is possible that your order may ship much sooner than we anticipate. Hmm strange that they sold out, as I place my order minutes after the announcement and the store going back up! |

At least you got an email. I got nothing but a 30" screen sitting a box. . .

The distribution of the quads have been strange. First people are getting their quads weeks early and now people who's orders are coming up due are getting delayed. If mine doesn't get shipped tomorrow I'm going to be upset.

Well, I just got my email too:
Dear Valued Apple Customer, We appreciate your recent Apple Store Order Wxxxxxxxx Due to an unexpected delay, we are unable to ship the following item(s) by the date that you were originally quoted: Z0AW, PMG5 QUAD 2.5 CTO will now ship on or before 12/05/2005 Please note that product availability can change rapidly, and it is possible that your order may ship much sooner than we anticipate. You may even receive a shipment confirmation between the time we send this email and the time that you read it. Very disappointed. I order this QUAD the first minute the store re-opened. Not sure why others got theirs already and I am waiting two more weeks! |

My Quad shiipped! And I was on for Dec 7. Might get here before Thanksgiving!
Now I have to quick order the RAM and a 300 GB SATA drive. Can't wait to drive those processors 'til they melt into a burning pool of lead! (just kidding) We should say where we are - I'm in the NYC area. And I ordered basically a stock Quad with the USB modem. I am wondering if those in the Euro Zone are the ones having the ship delays I saw posted. |

I just spent 1.5 hours driving round trip again today to the Apple store. After confirming that they could build my machine like my web order, I got there tonight and they did not have any 500 GB SATA drives nor did they have any bluetooth wireless cards. I am now back to waiting for my Dec. 7th shipment.
Bummer. |

Just logged into my Apple store account... and guess what... its shipped! So much for the email from Apple telling me that it has shipped! I guess Im going to have to take another day off.... what a shame Strange on Thursday they tell me its going to ship by Nov 22... and it actually shipped Friday Nov 18... Maybe best for everybody to keep checking their accounts rather than waiting for an email...

WTF. Mine was supposed to ship yesterday but has been moved back to the 6th of December. Yet the last two posters have had their ordered bumped up. All I ordered was the wireless package which should take all of 60 sec for a trained person to put in.

If you ordered the bluetooth+Wireless card, than that is probably your problem. I've heard through many people that apple has not gotten those cards to work to their standards and is one of the many reasons for delays. So unless you really need the Airport card, or don't want to buy one seperatly, I'd call apple!

I don't think the airport card explains the odd pattern by which Apple is filling orders. My Quad is equipped with an airport card and it arrived a few days early (on the 16th).
Good luck all!!!!!!!! I hope you get your machines soon!!!!!! |

I called Apple and one of the desk monkeys thought that something in my order might be involved in the delay. She suggested it might be the graphics problem but I only ordered the 6600 so thats not the problem. I would drop the wireless thing except I have a bluetooth phone and I want to be able to use it with both computers, and I don't really want a dongle. I'm hoping is ships on Monday. Right now it's back to staring at my 2x 512 MB sticks of ram where the G5 should be.
