i've ordered mine on the 24th of october. my local dealer cannot specify an excact shipping date. is there anybody who ordered at the apple store and got a shipping date? who else ordered a quad (order date/shipping time?)



thanks a lot,

    I'm supposedly shipping on or before the 18th. I ordered about 2 days after the announcement but Apple managed to lose part of my wire transfer so I don't think I got into line until about a week after. However most dates I've seen from other people are around the 16th-18th timeframe.

    thanks for the replies so far. i would appreciate beeing kept on track with your shipping dates :-)



    as for the bose companion i think bose has very good speakers in all form factors and is some kind of a big player in the car-sound-business. they can get a very good sound out of very small boxes... i would say it was a good choice.

    It seems that the first quad are shipping right now.

    The sad thing is that Apple did not confirm my order yet. Perhaps they are waiting my G5 to be ready before confirming it.

    I ordered a 2.3 dual on Nov. 1 with express delivery and was given a ship date of Nov. 8 On The 9th the ship date was revised to the 18th. I made a call to apple and they said it was due to unexpected demand. They're probably more keen on getting those quads out fast. If it doesn't ship by tomorrow I'm going to call and see what kind of a ship date they would give me on a quad. What's an extra grand? Any confirmation that they are indeed shipping quads?

    Apple did not confirm my command yet (?), but my order status said that My quad leaved Cork (Ireland) the 11/15. Generally it's a three day delay, before shipping.

    you ordered the day after introduction. how can it be that they ship this one week later than the ones ordered a day before? there seems to be strong demand...

    JUst on a note about the express shipping. Everytime that I requested express shipping and the ship date was changed to a later date, I put a complaint in and received a credit for the express shipping. MInd you tehy kept my order wiht express shipping, they jsut reimbursed me for the inconvinience. A little extra cash back is always nice.

    My quad is on it's way! Shipped 11 days earlier than expected. And the GF 6600 is good enough for me.
