2013 rMBP Shipment Delayed in Tennessee?

[Jaben3421]

Hi everyone,
Today I was checking up on the status of my new rMBP 'cause I can't wait, when I saw this.

What does that mean? I've ordered tons of iPhones, iPads, and MacBooks over the years, and this is the first time something has been delayed in Tennessee. Did this happen to anyone else? I'm wondering how long this will affect my arrival date. Thanks for any help.

Looks like a Customs issue. I read somewhere that Apple is pre-cleared for all their shipments direct to consumers so this seems a bit odd.

In the BTO thread someone mentioned that they called Apple and they told him/her that there's a chance Apple will deny customs clearance. I guess some of the machines may have gotten damaged during the flight?

I have the same message on my BTO. I've never had a delay like this on a MBP delivery.
