AppleTV long delivery times.

Is anyone else who ordered the Apple TV on Sept 1st waiting for merge in transit shipping details to be updated? Currently I am being told that my expected delivery date for the Apple TV and iPod touch I ordered is 11th October.

Ordered mine on Sept 2 and still no joy. I don't mind waiting a few weeks but I think the lack of updates is shocking. I ordered the New ATV, Belkin HDMI cable, Magic Track Pad and Battery Charger - despite all items bar the ATV being available I'm still waiting to receive any of these items. About a week ago I had a change in my Shipment Status to say "In Transit to Customer - Shipment on Schedule" and then a date of 5th October. The information is so unclear, getting excited about it potential turning up yesterday (5th Oct) and then it not, I realized that the date has absolutely no meaning at all.
I can understand all of the issues involved from merging items to customs issues but the lack of real time tracking information is utterly rubbish. I reread my original order receipt and noticed this Shipment Tracking caveat "Once your order has merged, your Order Status will be updated with carrier details and tracking information. Please allow up to 5 business days for the online Order Status to be updated." - In what way is a five day delay in the order status update useful?
Anyhoo - I'm just hoping it won't be too much longer now.

Anyone else having extra long delivery time for the late 2013 macbook pro 15" 2.6ghz 1tb model?

Anyone else having extra long delivery time for the late 2013 macbook pro 15" 2.6ghz 1tb model?
As of today feb 15 i have been waiting for 78 days. Finland doesn't have an official apple store (only authorized resellers) It was my mistake because i should have bought from apple.com. But i think 2.5 months is too long and i have no information about when i can get it..

The low-end 15” rMBP with a 8 GB or RAM and a 256 GB SSD costs $2,000.
The low-end 15” rMBP with a 8 GB or RAM and a 512 GB SSD costs $2,300.
With 16 GB of RAM and a 512 GB SSD it costs $2,500.
The high-end 15” rMBP with a 16 GB of RAM and a 512 GB SSD costs $2,600.
All cost $500 dollars more with a 1 TB SSD.
So the SSD size is not a differentiating factor unless you prefer 256 GB.
If you think you need 16 GB of RAM and a 512 GB SSD then you might as well spend the extra $100 for the high-end model.
The high-end model will make a difference on gaming and graphics-oriented applications.
They tend to run other applications at about the same speed.
Both models are rated with 8 hours of battery life.
Benchmarks on PhotoShop comparing memory sizes: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5659174?tstart=30
The speed was about 10% different between 8 GB and 16 GB models.
On other applications your mileage may vary.
Application benchmarks:
http://www.macworld.com/article/2059215/15-inch-retina-macbook-pro-review-a-tale -of-two-laptops.html
The low-end and high-end performed the about the same on non-graphics oriented applications.
Graphics oriented benchmarks:
On the Cinebench OpenGL benchmark the high-end was about twice as fast.
On the Unigine Heaven Benchmark benchmark they ran at about the same speed.
On the Unigine Valley Benchmark benchmark the high-end was about 1.5x as fast.

ADM delivery times from Apple.. 2-3 months!!

Hi,
We have a 3.5 TB RAID built with 250GB disks. One disk just died and the RAID is still running but no safety anymore..
It seems Apple is having a hard time delivering 250GB ADM modules (2-3 months)
Is it possible to use a larger sized disk? (750Gb is available 24hr) I realize we lose most of the disk but better than losing the RAID
cheers
Kaspar

Yikes! That's a long delivery time. I order our 250GB replacement drives from Mac Mall (www.macmall.com). They are pretty quick. We have had them sent next day air on several occasions, but standard delivery is usually 2 to 4 days.

Copying delivery time from 1st (unconfirmed) schedule line to confirmed SL

Hi Friends
Long time since I visited our forum.
During order creation or change, by selecting all items and using 'Edit- fast change of- Delivery date' menu option one can set a delivery date and time for all the items. This info moves to schedule line 1 (for the requested delivery date) Shipping tab to Arrival time field. However if an item (s) is not confirmed for the requested date, then a second schedule line is created for the confirmed date based on user's choice in the ATP dialog window. Now the issue is that delivery time is not copied to the new SLs. And it will be cumbersome to enter it by going into the SL-Sales tab for multiple items via their confirmed SLs. Is there a config way ( I doubt it) to get the delivery time (only time) copied to the confirmed SLs from the first SL. Or user exit is the only route? if so is it FORM USEREXIT_MOVE_FIELD_TO_VBEP    in MV45AFZZ? Does this info stay once it comes via this user exit or do we need to do anything extra during Sales document save or prepare? Oh, by the way, we are set up for complete delivery and fixed date/qty checked.
Let me know ASAP. Thanks.

Hi
If I understand you, the problem is that EZEIT is initial, ie; VBEP-EZEIT = 0 (ie: it has the value on dynpro'00:00:00' depending of the format of your country). The problem for this userexit is that it's called in the end of subroutine VBEP_FUELLEN in the include FV45EFEP_VBEP_FUELLEN. If you read the ABAP coding you have the call to a subroutine before:
* Anlieferzeit ermitteln
      perform vbep-ezeit_ermitteln.
If you read it in include FV45EF0V_VBEP-EZEIT_ERMITTELN, you can read this coding:
if vbep-ezeit = 0.
    if vbep-edatu ne *vbep-edatu or vbep-prgrs ne *vbep-prgrs or
       ( svbep-tabix = 0 and ( vbep-wmeng ne 0 or vbep-bmeng ne 0 ) ).
      perform anliefertermin_pruefen using vbep-prgrs
                                           vbep-edatu
                                           vbep-ezeit
                                           vbep-cmeng
                                           vbep-bmeng
                                           da_dialog
                                           da_edatu
                                           da_ezeit
                                           sy-subrc.
      if sy-subrc = 2.
        vbep-ezeit = da_ezeit.
      endif.
    endif.
endif.
* Sekunden sind bei Lieferplänen für Zulieferer nicht relevant
check not vbak-abdis is initial and
        not vbep-ezeit+4(2) is initial.
clear vbep-ezeit+4(2).
I think that you are looking for this, am I right? Surely, you knew it before to post this subject.
Alghough the purpose of userexit is populate fields from an append (fields ZZ) but it's possible to change others. I suggest to think about this, because I think that it's the same and you can know the checks to avoid inconsistencies. If you need something else, please let us know.
This is only a suggestion. I hope this helps you

JDBC initialize failed due to long idling time

Hi gurus
Anyone having similar problem and would like to share their solution for the problem stated below.
Normally the integration for IDOC-XI-JDBC scenarios is working fine, but when the R3 halt sending IDOC to XI, the JDBC connection to MS SQL 2000 server failed to process and initialise due to long idling time. Currently the temporary solution is to go to XI change the Integration Directory : Communication Channel for the JDBC - Activate - Clear Cache. Then go to R3, retrigger the IDOC again. And the above problem will be resolved. But after a while (long idling time again), this problem arise once again.

In the JDBC adapter , select option Disconnect From Database after Each message processing.
This will solve the process as your JDBC Database seems to be closing the connection after a particular idle time.

IPad delivery times?

I ordered an iPad a week ago and wondering how long everyone is waiting out there. My delivery time says it should arrive April 16-22 but wonder how realistic that is. I placed my order on April 8th and am VERY, VERY anxious.
Message was edited by: fgfats

7-10 days delivery my ***. i'm sorry for the profanity but seriously? i ordered this on the 28th. expected this in just over a week's time. originally quoted 7th or 8th delivery.
now they asked me to wait... claimed the credit card didnt work and the bank refused the transaction... called the bank up, this was not true...
also a friend had been delivered ALL THE ACCESSORIES but the console itself. he called up CS and asked what was happening but they insisted it was transaction error when the he's got confirmation it went through ok and he's already holding the rest of the goods...
later found out the ipads were not even ready to dispatch yet, when the confirmation tracking code came through on apple store, it was only dispatched to leave for hong kong on the 7th. which is already good 10days after the purchase date.
now TNT has said if you want it ASAP you can go to the depot to collect it yourself, otherwise it would have been earliest friday delivery which is also not guaranteed. which is like what i've heard for the last 2 weeks. excuse after excuse, seriously apple, sort this out...
trade description act and everything... why are you doing this to your supporters?
if they werent apple haters in the first place, you might have given them a reason to now from the disappointment, hassle and waste of annual leave to receive nothing but a giant let down.
very unprofessional.
edit:
for those of you still looking to get an ipad, here's the *REALISTIC delivery times.*
*3-4weeks till delivery from the day of transaction on the apple store. 5weeks if you're unlucky.*

Book Delivery Times

How many days longer has anyone seen between express and standard delivery for books?

It might help with questions like this if you mention where on the planet you actually are. The delivery times vary from country to country.

UK delivery times for photbooks?

Hi
Can anyone give me an idea, based on experience,
of delivery times for photobooks ordered from the UK?
I noticed that when you order, it says international orders dispatched in 2 working days, which made me think they are coming from the USA and might take a long time to arrive.
I'm working on a photobook for my brother's 50th birthday on 13 May, and it's important that I get it in time.
Thanks

Well in the end I used photobox instead and they did a fantastic job. Hardback book came with a cut-out in the cover, like the iphoto ones, but was cheaper.I ordered on a Sunday, and the book was despatched the following day - a bank holiday! - and arrived on the Wednesday.

UK Delivery times on schedule?

Hey Guys,
Are the UK shipping & delivery times on schedule / correlate with the supplied Apple receipt?
I ordered on the 28th July and have been given a shipping date of 18th August, with delivery 'on or before' 20th August. Are the dates provided generally correct, or a bit out?
When can I likely expect to see the details to change regards the phone's moving westwards?
Sorry if I've missed this elsewhere on the forum, but my eyes are aching... think I need them tested!
Oh, I'm so excited!!
Thanks

just to add, that i tracked this via TNT, and all the tracking history this evening, is within the UK, and says delivery tomorrow, 13th - would have to be friday 13th eh! *rolls eyes*
anyway, on this shipment there isnt this whole china and customs thing, its all been within the uk, and is now in northampton, so if this arrives tomorrow, this has effectively been next day delivery! very strange. lol
i still would like to know if the 32 giggers are coming through quicker than the 16's.
"+i am in the uk and ordered ordered 32gb ip4 from apple online on the 26th july. after my order it stated expected ship date of the 16th august with delivery being on or before 23rd august. its stayed like that for the ~2.5 weeks, today i had the preparing for shipping in the status. then an email saying it had been shipped today. but how long its journey will take is another matter, i know the ipad orders were virtually here a few days later after shipping, that they seemed to be shipped domestically, but i believe these iphones are coming via quite the exotic routes with stops in customs and all sorts, so the original receive date may well end up to be true yet, will post when i receive, incase its of any use to other UK ip4 orderers with similar dates!+"

Delivery times for the UK?

I'm waiting for delivery of a new Intel iMac (my first Mac). I've just had notification of dispatch and was wondering if anyone in the UK could give me an idea of how long delivery is likely to take? Thanks

What if it's shipping from China to UK? Anyone had experience with MBP times from the factory to London? Mine shipped Friday 24/3. On the apecode.com website it had 5/4 as estimated time of arrival but it's changed to 30/3 and says this:
29 mar 06....86 14....booking slot obtained....Apple Shanghai....30 mar 06
It'd be great if it did come tomorrow!
Any ideas?

Question regarding over ONE MONTH delivery time?

Hello all,
I am aware of the W-Series shipping thread, but it hasn't been updated in some time so I wasn't sure it was still active. Others complained there of long and inaccurate delivery times, but others had the inverse experience - so I thought I would ask anyway.
I purchased a W520 online earlier today, but checking my order status tonight reports that the laptop itself is scheduled for a ship date of the first of May. Assuming I allow only a week for the delivery to actually arrive, it means I'm waiting over a month for my purchase to arrive. This seems like a very long time!
When I purchased the laptop, the site reported an estimated ship date of April 17th. Ten days until the hardware ships is resonable for this type of purchase. A thirty day wait is not (especially when there was no warning of backorder or delay when I made the purchase). Had I known upfront the estimated delay would be so bad, I never would have made the purchase. Now I understand that the delivery date provided during purchase is an estimate, and in no way a guarantee, but the delta between the two dates has me concerned. It took quite a bit of research for me to get over the purported SSS issue, and that buying a Lenovo was still a smart move - but once again I'm starting to worry.
My hope is that the estimated ship date listed under my Order Status will change to a date that is closer to the date given during the purchase, and that I won't be waiting a moon cycle to get my new W520. The purchase was made less than twenty-four hours ago, and although Lenovo said it will only take six hours for my Order Status to populate, I'm hoping this is simply a calculation error. Why I am truly worried and am bothering to post this question, however, is that other items I purchased in the same order DO have realistic ship and delivery dates. I ordered a sleeve to accompany my W520, and my Order Status is already reporting that it will ship 4/8 and be delivered 4/13. If this is accurate, and it does seem plausible, it makes it more likely my W520 estimated ship date is also accurate. And that is basically unacceptable.
Has anyone recently purchased/received a W520, and if so how long was the delivery delay? Am I (hopefully) correct in assuming the May first ship date is simply an early calculation by the Order Status page and will be updated to reflect a more realistic ship/delivery date? Has anyone else experienced an issue with early estimates of ship date on their Order Status being inaccurate and abnormally long?
My specs are i7-2640M, 15.6" FHD (1920x1080), Quadro 2000M, 8 GB RAM, 320GB Hard Disk Drive (7200rpm). Everything else was stock.
Thanks in advance for any insight or help. Here is to hoping I won't have to cancel this order because of what should be an easily avoidable issue.
~G

We don't see many users showing up here in the forum with new W520 machines right now, which may indicate sales are slow, which naturally makes you wonder why the wait is so long to ship new W520 orders. But someone just caught a store in the Netherlands accidentally featuring the new Lenovo Ivy Bridge/Kepler laptops (also see here) in their online store for sale.
So if the detailed ordering info for the new machines is at the retailer level right now, then Lenovo will likely announce the new laptops on or just after April 29, when Intel is expected to officially release the new Ivy Bridge processors. And it also means Lenovo has probably diverted much of its current production resources to building the new machines for the release.
That may explain the W520 shipping delays, although it's certainly a pain in the rear for anyone who wants to buy one of the current models, before they go out of stock. Anyway, a little buzz is always entertaining--that's certainly what makes the Apple world go round (the Apple forums are rife with about 150 pages of Ivy Bridge buzz, vs. almost nothing here in the W-series forum, so this forum may be asleep).
I'm dying to see test results of Nvidia's killer GTX 680M Kepler-based mobile graphics processor (and workstation sibling) when it finally comes out, although that may take a bit longer (and may only ship in 17" machines). But it should have roughly 3.4 times the performance of the Quadro 2000M.

What is the best way to update the delivery time?

Hi All,
One of the tasks I have in my job is to updste purchase orders with information found in the orderconfirmation we receive. In the order screen, ME22N, you can change the date in the item, where you have all positions listed. But you can also change it in the tab classifications.
What is the best way to update the delivery time?
Best Regards
Praveen

Hi
It may userfull to you
If you change the delivery date after you have send the PO, then the statistical delivery date is still containing the old delivery date., as long the order is not send this date is changed together with the delivery date.
Vendor evaluation is performed based on statistical delivery date.
So if you are responsible for a date change, then you change both dates, that the vendor does not get bad points. but if the vendor cannot deliver at the wished dates, then you change the delivery date only, that all people in your company and MRP run can rely on the new delivery date, but your vendor is evaluated against the old date, because of his fault.

Madhu

Photo Card Delivery Time

Have to say, I am very dissapointed with the delivery times for ordering photo cards through iPhoto in the UK. I am still waiting after over 2 weeks from placing my order and now am not gonna have it in time for what it was intended for.
I know that the guidance states 10 days from date of printing but the printing seemed to take over a week (for a card?). Now if Apple wants to be a market leader in this field then they need to pull there finger out cos this will be the last time I order anything through iPhoto (I know from experience I can order prints through Wanadoo and they will be put through my letterbox the next working day).
I have left feedback with Apple to this effect but am not expecting much to change.
Moan over.
Paul

Paul,
I totally endorse this sentiment. I ordered some invitation cards for my daughter's birthday on Feb 7th. The page you visit when ordering says, "usually ships within 4-5 business days". I took this to mean that about a week from ordering to receipt would be in order. I am still without the items and when I queried this with Apple they say I have to allow ANOTHER 10 business days for shipment. That's 15 business days - or three weeks - in total. I have no idea where they ship from, and by what method, but pigeon post from the other side of the world wouldn't take that long.
In my own case I am looking at £90 worth of invitations that will arrive too late. I have told Apple that because their site failed to mention the delivery times (in fact, actually misled, although not deliberately I am prepared to believe), I will be looking to them for a full refund.
My beef is not the three weeks as such; it's the failure to mention this anywhere during the ordering stage.

What is the deal with the long lead time on delivering

boards. As a leader in test and measurement for industry, you should be examples as to fast lead times and reasonable delivery times. I regret that I will think twice when I quote an NI board for a project again. The long lead time is simply unacceptable!ARGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
#&*@#$!!!!!!!!

boards. As a leader in test and measurement for industry, you should be examples as to fast lead times and reasonable delivery times. I regret that I will think twice when I quote an NI board for a project again. The long lead time is simply unacceptable!I too have felt the frustration about lead times. As an Alliance Member, I have ordered countless NI products and had lots of tense conversations with clients who are wondering what is holding up the turn-key system I promised them.
What we need to keep in mand is that NI is subject to part shortages just like any other manufacturer. They do their best to get things out on time, and in fact they do much better than others. I've been forced to order lots of Agilent equipment with > 20 WEEK lead times! Not only was there a 20 week lead time quoted when I ordered it, they MISSED the target by 4 weeks! In those cases, Agilent had the only solution and NI products couldn't cover it.
In many cases your DSM and / or ISR can help you locate a loaner to tide you over until yo
u board is shipped. I have had very good experiences in the past with those folks.
Hey, I'm also noticing that the standard lead times are now listed online when browsing the catalog. That should help you plan your project shedules in the future.
Again, for what it's worth, I feel your pain.

MRP - Auto creation of del schedule lines based on planned delivery time

Hi,
We have activated MRP (type PD) where Purchase requiesition is auto created by system for requirement quantity. We require to optimize delivery schedule in such a way that entire PR quantity is broken into various delivery schedule based on planned delivery time and requirement. Scenario can be further explained with following example.
Material Requirement for a month is say 1,25,000 units
Closing Stock say 25,000 units
PR Generated by system for 1,00,000 units. The entire quantity is schdulled with only one delivery schedule line as per planned delivery time.
The requirement is to generate multiple delivery schedule lines automatically in Purchase requisition based on planned delivery time so that Purchase orders can be placed with system generated delivery schedule lines.
How can it be achieved ?
Regards,
Nirav Kinkhabwala

Nirav,
This subject has been discussed repeatedly in this and other forums. I must assume that you overlooked the rules of engagement, which state that you should first search the forums and other public sites, before posting questions here.
Standard SAP MRP cannot be made to generate multiple items in a Purchase requisition. The functionality you seek is usually achieved when converting purchase reqs to Purchase orders, where many single purchase reqs can be adopted into a single Purchase order.
You also might want to investigate use of Vendor Scheduling agreements.
Best Regards,
