Deliveries Status App: Superb, No More Shipping Headaches [Review]
As a gadget reviewer, I go through a lot of shipped packages. Which means I have to deal with a logistical nightmare second only to the Allied supply lines following the D-Day landings (except my packages tend to be, for the most part, somewhat less liable to explode or cause diarrhea). But that’s OK — I have a secret weapon to help keep everything straight.
Junecloud‘s Deliveries Status ($5) tracks shipments in a wonderfully simple, easy-to-read, straightforward manner; and like many of Apple’s own products, it just works.
Retina MacBook Pro Now ‘In Stock’ On Apple Online Store, Can Be Delivered Within 2-3 Days

New MacBook Pro Shipping Delay Slips Again, Now Dispatched In 3-4 Weeks
Like all of Apple’s popular products, the MacBook Pro suffered a shipping delay soon after it went on sale on Monday.

New iPad Online Orders Now Shipping In 1-3 Business Days
After two months of scarcity, Apple’s finally gotten its new iPad production ramped up enough to get a new iPad to you the same week you ordered one, from a Foxconn factory straight to your door in 1-3 business days. Just three weeks ago, it still took 3-5 business days for Apple to ship a new iPad to an online customer. In another three weeks, you might be able to overnight one.
Apple’s done a lot better with new iPad supply compared to the iPad 2. Not only did everyone who wanted one on launch day pretty much get one, but it took Apple about four months last year to get shipping times down to 1-3 business days, and five months to get it down to within 24 hours. Let’s hope this is a trend towards having enough supply to go around that continues with the iPhone 5.
