I was originally given a shipping date of March 30th for the Mac Pro that I ordered on March 9th— last Monday. Then I received an e-mail from Apple last Friday, March 13th, informing me that it would ship early— on March 23rd. But Saturday morning, March 14th, I received another e-mail from Apple informing me that my Mac Pro had shipped.
This morning when I checked the tracking number with FedEx my Mac Pro is indeed showing as shipped and set for delivery by Friday, March 20th. So very cool when I was originally expecting to have to wait until April 3rd to play with my new Mac Pro. That’s two whole weeks earlier than I originally expected.
Now I assume Apple was just being cautious with its original date of March 30th, but never before have I ordered a pre-built system of any kind and received it earlier than expected. True, I have not yet actually received my Mac Pro but my experience with ordering systems from Dell and Gateway for other people in the past always led to waiting extras weeks… definitely not early deliveries.
I hate to feel the tiniest bit impatient now. Two weeks earlier than expected is a good thing. Yet, now… these four days ’til Friday are going to be very slow. So human of me, I guess. I could be waiting another eighteen days like I was originally expecting.
