Retina MacBook Pro Shipping Estimates Improve to 5-7 Business Days

[MacRumors]

Just a day after Apple added new build-to-order configuration options to the low-end Retina MacBook Pro, shipping estimates have improved from 1-2 weeks to 5-7 business days in the company's online stores. The faster turnaround time is showing up in the company's online stores in the Americas, and should spread to its Asia-Pacific and European distribution channels shortly.

Shipping estimates for the Retina MacBook Pro quickly ballooned to 3-4 weeks within 36 hours of the machine's introduction in June, holding at that level until mid-July before beginning to come down. The most recent improvement before today came nearly two weeks ago when estimates moved from 2-3 weeks to 1-2 weeks.

Cool. Seriously considering one.

Yesterday's Base Model options and today's shipping news, I'm just so tempted to order one right now!

You don't give a ****** so much you had to tell people? Sounds like you're trying to convince yourself of something.

Oh yeah? Well I do. So there.



But I'm more interested in knowing when ship-to-store becomes available.

Basemodel with 16GB would be nice; disk storage via TB; shipment time is short compared to the time i need to convince my wife

[szw-mapple fan]

Cool. seriously considering one now.

Hoping my ordered model ships today then. It's been a week. I could really use it as soon as possible.

 

[PS65]

Cool. seriously considering one now.

I don't get this? Why is the shipping time the only thing holding you back?

 

[twietee]

Great, so I would get it even quicker, than the guy who ordered this monday..

 

[MaxPower49]

Was really hoping the 13" retina would be available before tax free weekend. Doesn't look like that will happen.

 

[Mad-B-One]

This is soooo Frontpage News!

 

[Colpeas]

Couldn't care less about 15" Retina, I just hope we can expect its little 13" bro sometime soon in sufficient stock.

 

[CGagnon]

I ordered mine 7/25 and it shipped within a week.

 

[edry.hilario]

omg who cares .. give me iMac news!!!!

 

[szw-mapple fan]

I don't get this? Why is the shipping time the only thing holding you back?

No, not the only thing. there's the new configuration option as well.

 

[drewisanapple]

I ordered mine 7/25 and it shipped within a week.

Lucky, I ordered mine on 7/25 too and Apple's website says "processing." I hope after work today I come look at my phone and find it's been shipped.

 

[dynamojoe]

I'm happier about the customization options now than the shipping time. I can now order a low end retina with the big SSD. That is, if I was ordering a retina. But I'm probably not until there's an anti-glare option.

 

[Mattie Num Nums]

Just barely got mine, and ordered it day 2.

 

[sevimli]

Any refurbished units available?

 

[KdParker]

Nice.

So anyone with a shipping estimate past the Aug 13th, they should cancel and reorder today.
