At least you got a response most places just reply asking you to phone them.


I replied asking if I'm the first GTS order, I kind of gathered that from the email, but we'll see.

Finally got my web tracking working!
Unfortunately doesn't give me much more insight than I've already been told!

A good read on Apple's approach to retailing (including a clear answer to your question posed above) can be found here: http://blogs.hbr.org/cs/2011/11/what...ng_the_ap.html

A quick read (a bit longer if you also read the comments, some of which are good) on what impartial informed analysts think of your industry can be found here: http://brontecapital.blogspot.com.au...r-dealers.html

It might not make comfortable reading. But you seem like the kind of guy who enjoys having his eyes open, not closed.
Thanks mate, that was a very good read, appreciated.

Ring your Dealer, they will have a more up to date version of the 'Order Tracking' than that we have access to

Let us then know how you went

Like most types of freight they would most likely wait until they have a full truck load before dispatch, so it could be the same day it goes in or a few days afterwards. It's in the hands of the freight hauler and depot systems but it can also take longer if customs decide to go over it with a fine tooth comb. We normally say it will be up to 14 days from when the car lands in the country.

I'm still waiting on the Online Tracking to catch up to the dealers system. It makes me nervous when the dealer shows me a September 15 build date, but the online system says still to be confirmed. When did you order?
