Tiger coming a day early a possability?
Hey
I am curious whether or not Tiger will actually come on the 29th or possibly the 28.
For apple to guarantee that Tiger will come on the 29th...is it possible they are sending it earlier rather then later to make sure that it arrives?
I am interested in seeing the online release. Which I believe is at 6 when the actual release is taking place. I have heard rumors that the broadcast will be in H.264 and require tiger... if this is true I will not have enough time to install tiger if it comes later in the day.
Maybe its just a rumor that it will be H.264...I think that would be cool but a little rushed for people just getting it that day.
Have other prepaid items from apple come a day or two ahead?

Well, mine says shipping on/before 4/28, with 2-day air shipping.
I actually think they will ship it on 4/27, via the 2-day Fedex. However, Fedex, unlike UPS in my experience, actually delivers packages early a lot of times, so I'm sure some people will end up getting Tiger on 4/28 (one day early) as they did with iLife and iWork in January.

All of the Tiger pre-orders are going to be shipped 2nd day Fedex air.
I was given a choice - 6-8 days ground for free or 2 days FedEx for $16.

I was given no choice... 5-day ground... and at first it said 'delivered by 4/29' and now it says 'shipped on or before 4/28'. If it's not here on 4/29 I'm going to buy it at the store and return the copy they send to me (not to mention be a little peeved).
Tismfu,
Are you in the U.S.? If so, recheck your order status. It probably says "2-day" on the left hand side. I was given no choice, but a couple days later, it changed to 2-day.

Yep, in the U.S., and sadly it still says:
Shipping Method
Parcel/Ground
I only placed my order this weekend... perhaps it'll change in a few days? Or maybe there were only so many units they could ship out to arrive on the 29th and since I was relatively 'late' to order I might have to wait?

tismfu,
Well, I wouldn't worry, if I was you. Apple is still guaranteeing Tiger by April 29. I'm sure 99 percent of orders will be received on-time.

In the UK, we are no so lucky. We have 5-7 business days. Fat chance it will arrive on the 29th

This is the same thing in France. The online status for my order says "on or before 04/29/05" as the estimated shipping date

I'm going to phone them to make quite sure about this. It looks like I'll be going to the Apple store in London for the launch at any rate, so I can cancel my order and buy it there. Currently on the store page for Tiger it says:
"Ready to ship:
by April 29th
Free Shipping"
Will let you know what they say on the phones.

However, when I ordered it, I was told it may arrive on the 29th or ship on the 29th. The salesman wasn't sure.
I'm having it delivered to work. I suppose if it doesn't arrive by the end of the day, I could go to the Apple store and return the first one for a refund.
I guess we'll just have to wait and see..
