Tiger Shipment - Page 3

Well that blows. Ordered the day of the announcement and no Tiger. Thanks a bunch Apple. Now they keep e-mailing me links to watch the seminar. It'll probably be at the FedEx office tomorrow and I could pick it up there, but I'm rather disappointed that Apple failed to deliver.

Wow! So I won't be receiving Tiger this weekend. I can probably expect it on Monday, May 2nd. I did however call earlier this evening around 6pm Eastern and ask customer support whether I would be receiving Tiger today and the woman I spoke with said that, yes, if I had not received a phone call or email from Apple that I could still expect tiger to arrive today.

After 9pm I called again. I think I spoke to the same person though she didn't go out of her way to recognize me. I told her that I had ordered Tiger on the 12th of April and I then asked when I could expect to receive it. She apologized and informed me that I wouldn't be getting it on the 29th (this much I already knew). She then without any other provocation offered to give me iLife or iWork for free. I was floored considering that I'm getting Tiger with student discount (I am actually a student too). I requested iWork since my current computer can't really take advantage of most of the stuff in iLife 05 and because I'll probably be getting a Powerbook later this summer. She gave me an order number, told me that I could expect iWork on the 4th, I thanked her a lot and that was that.

I feel kind of guilty for getting an $80 ($50 EDU) item just for wanting a little more information about why Apple screwed up. Yeah, I also wanted them to throw one more complaint on the heap so that they might be more thoughtful about shipping on time but I certainly didn't expect iWork or iLife.

The guilt lessens as I look at pictures of people getting powerbooks at the official store releases.

I guess Apple will get a glowing bizrate survey afterall.

p.s. I forgot to mention that the Quicktime 7 update killed quicktime for me in 10.3.9

I had mine not show up either! I am totally pissed.

Yep, it's 10:53pm central time and I am pretty pissed. I could have gone to a local store but decided to avoid it and have it delivered on the 29th. I leave for 2 weeks on Monday at 6am!!!! Arrgh!

My package arrived just shortly after 5pm. It made it from California to British Columbia just in time!

I had problems with Mail too, then I remembered I had installed from plugins, so I trashed them and Mail worked with no problems.

Mine was ordered 4/12 also, and never showed up. I was offered iLife or iWork also, but have them both - I ended up getting a free dock for my shuffle- sweet.

Tiger should come today-

L

Woooo got my Longhorn today! Oops, I mean Tiger.

At least I'm not the only one that didn't get Tiger yet. My copy is still in New Jersey (for the third day now).

I said screw it and bought a copy at the Apple store. FedEx can send it back to Apple if it ever arrives!

it would fantastic if apple.com would work so i could order tiger. i keep getting bad requests.
