Being in Perth doesn't really help the matter. We are just too small a market for Apple to care. I am surprised that the Apple staff in Perth have kept their jobs as long as they have.

(Yes, I am bitter. This particular delayed order has the very real possibly of costing me my job.)

I must observe that if your employer makes your job dependent on the ability of a third-party it means that either you have promised something you cannot deliver, or it's time to look for a new employer.

Seriously, talk to whomever is riding your back, because the reason you're buying Apple is not timely delivery, it is for other reasons. If your reasons for using Apple are no longer cost-effective, then your employer should be looking at another supplier, not another employee.

What I'm saying is that while I feel for your situation, a little communication to those jumping up and down would be a good thing.
