I made the mistake last week of ordering a bunch of stuff from the online Apple Store at the same time as preordering Aperture. Just about the time I thought the stuff shipping immediately would arrive, I discovered that it hadn't even shipped yet because Apple doesn't ship partial orders. I guess I'm spoilt by Amazon.
I'm going to try to give Apple a call on Monday to see if they'll just go ahead and ship the rest of the order now—otherwise I'll have to cancel the entire order and start again. Can't say this is the first time Apple shipping has let me down. (Actually, Amazon did once too, but it was an Apple product they were shipping!)
