What impact of Eyjafjallajökull icelandic volcano on Apple shippings in Europe?

April 19th, 2010 by laurent No Comments »

Planes are grounded all around Europe. Apple orders are mainly shipped around Europe from the Netherlands and they will undergo a double impact of Iceland’s Volcano:

  1. It’s going to be difficult to replenish dispatch center. The standard commands (not BTO) will be difficult to be delivered by air, furthermore stocks will quickly run out
  2. Order (BTO customized orders) coming from China by air can no longer reach the Netherlands

Many customers told us that their orders will suffer delays.

In the meantime, you can always look at the price matrix by asking you how much you would pay for your products in another country.

International prices will be announced on May 10th (and we will add them to the TechObservers matrix) but the iPad won’t be available before end of May.

3G version is still planned for end of April in the US.
