At about 12PM Today, I was greeted by a man dressed in a blue suit from Star Track Express out the front of our house. There was no question about what he was delivering – it could only be one thing. Of course, I also knew this because I’d been refreshing the tracking page on the Star Track Website (left for delivery at 7:53AM).

I decided I’d give Apple a call today to see what they could do about the shipping on my Mac Mini – it was expected to ship on the 22nd and be delivered by 28th. Much to the delight of myself, the Apple guy said that because I live in Sydney, I’d most probably receive it on the 23rd. Okay I was thinking – Apple is giving me a birthday present on my birthday!

This wasn’t the case. Much to the delight of myself I noticed after I came home from work that I had an email stating “Shipment notification for order # 7033747490″. First I thought this was spam as there were no tell tale signs of it being from Apple. A quick check of the mail headers which showed it was from Apple and I decided the attachment was safe.

So now i’m looking at something like below on the Apple site, with the date of arrival the 23rd – but it should be here by Monday due to my close proximity. The tracking number isn’t up at Star Track however, so we’ll see.

Can’t wait.
