I preordered the MacBook on May 23rd and have been waiting ever since then. I even have overnight shipping which means once it ships out today it should arrive to my mailbox tomorrow but my order is still open and there is no sign of it shipping. The suspense is killing me!!

The most impressive part is the fact that I paid for my package using Knet while the package was in the US. This also got me a 2% discount which is not much but better then no discount. My MacBook still hasn’t shipped from Amazon since they still don’t have it in stock but I just changed the shipping address to U Shop We Ship. The reason for that is USWS can clear my laptop from customs AND I can pay them the customs fee online with my Knet card. Thats very convenient and I love it. I am now going to start using USWS as my primary US mailbox and keep Aramex as secondary for my magazines.

It really get's hot. Wouldn't it be better if you just waited for the summer, when they might fix this issue?

Hola, yeah told u before, spam filter doesnt like u lol Oceanus, no idea, they gave me a ship date of July 24 but thats just for amazon to cover their ass. Their ship dates are always a lot sooner then that but when an item is not available they give u a far away deadline. Edjamacated, $411 is my last quarters Amazon Associates payment.. you know from the Amazon banner I have on this blog. I have a couple of sites and all together last quarter they got me 411. The quarter before that was 1200$. This quarter we are currently in its only like $100 :s Stallion, the black one costs 1500 which is to expensive for what i need. The low end MacBook is perfect price and great specs. Mishref I am buying the Mac from Amazon, the only time they take taxes is if I buy an item from one of there resellers like J&R.
