Shortage of G5 chips must be the case because I ordered a dual 2.5 G5 on 7/9/04 with an estimated ship date of 7/30/04. On 7/29/04 they revised the ship date to 8/20/04. We'll see how they do with this date.
I think it is complete BS for Apple to keep taking orders for items they can't fill.
I placed my order in June and still haven't gotten my G5... the next ship date is supposed to be tomorrow but I was told if they miss it they'll issue another ship date. Oh, gee, thanks for thinking of the customer and not jerking me around.
Also, I was told that repeated missed ship dates will not be compenstated.... they'd better think that one over.
And, the customer service (if you can call it that cause they don't know anything anyways) was rude and hung up on me. Now while I am very irate about not getting my computer I never raised my voice or used any inappropriate language. When I do get a hold of a supervisor all the can say is "the next ship date is [blah blah blah]." No one knows anything about where in line my computer is (remember, first come first serve), how many they've been able to ship so far, or anything else for that matter that I can't already get from the lame order status page on their website.
The need to realize that they're impacting their customers in more ways than just not sending the computer. It's now affecting my schooling and freelancing which basically equates to my livelyhood.
Thanks Apple
