Let's compare Dual G5 ship dates

Posted:
in Current Mac Hardware edited January 2014
Hey y'all. I ordered my BTO dual G5 on 8/16, and the estimated ship date is listed as 10/29! I haven't heard anyone else mention any such ship date so distant, maybe because everyone else in my position is smart enough to forget about it until the ship data approaches. Anyway, do others have similar orderdate-shipdate spans?



FYI I ordered through the higher education store.

    Ordered on 21/07

    est Ship Date 29/09



    Which i think was just automatically created - as it is exactly 10 weeks from when i ordered, and at the time it said to allow 7 - 10weeks for shipment.



    BTO with Airport/BTooth

    I ordered two 1.6 G5s and one dual 2 within seconds of them going on sale. Up until a few minutes ago, my ship dates were today (8/27) for the 1.6s and 8/29 for the dual. I just received an email from Apple saying that my 1.6 has been delayed to (of all dates) 9/11! I don't suppose this bodes well for my dual shipping this friday.



    I called Apple, and the rep assumed it was because both of my systems are CTOs, but she said that changing it now would do nothing to speed things up.



    Grrrrrrrr.....

    Macconection just told me My G5 2 gig that I ordered 6/23/03 is scheduled to ship Sept 3rd.

    last week I was told Sept 10th.



    I will believe it when i see it.



    I might add that it is also $ 283.00 cheaper than the Apple store (no tax or shipping) and I get an additional 1 gig of Ram.

    I ordered my Dual 2GHz last thursday (21 Aug) and the order status page shows "being assembled" highlighted since today, but no shipping date yet !



    Does it need to reach "being prepped for shipping" to show the shipping date or when does that show up ?



    Can't wait !

    look at the bottom of the confirmation email. It will say something along the lines of "On or before [date]"

    Hi !



    It's the stock configuration.

    I'll add more RAM later when prices drop a bit.

    I ordered by phone at the german Apple Store, because the online order the evening before failed.



    But I didn't get a final order confirmation yet, only an "order received" email.



    We'll see...

    Has anyone successfully got a cheaper price than the online AppleStore UK price by ringing Applestore UK directly? Just wondered...

    Ordered 07/19

    Shipping on or before 09/30/2003



    BTO Dual 2GHz PowerPC G5

    ATI Radeon 9800 Pro

    BlueTooth Module



    I have another gig of ram and a WD Raptor waiting for it's new home



    Man, I can't wait... upgrading from a 450MHz B&W G3 (768MB/9GB 15K Cheetah). The only thing that worries me is disk speed. I haven't owned an IDE drive since 1994 and I know it's not going to be _slow_ but still. I have 5 18GB SCSI drives laying around and I may just put them in an external case and bring the SCSI card over from my G3. We'll see.
