Though I’m super-excited about my new MacBook I can’t say I’m very impressed with Apple’s honesty with regards to shipping dates.

Their website advertises a shipping date of 5-7 business days.  When I ordered the laptop they gave me a shipping date 8 days out.  I could understand that being back-to-school time and all, but on business day #8, they changed my shipping date!!!

Instead of shipping on September 14th like they had promised, the new shipping date is September 25th.  That’s a full 7 business days after the maximum ship-date that they promised on their website.  And to top it all off, they’re website STILL advertises a 5-7 business day shipping window.

My confidence in Apple’s customer service has been severely shaken.
