i will not count on that
i was charged 48 hours ago, and i did ask the same thing the day before yesterday and got the same answer,. nothing happens
That has usually been the case but there are people now at 48hrs since charges and no shipping or even prepared for shipping for anyone.
I've stated my theory yesterday but I believe Apple is slowly accumulating all the initial orders and as they are tagged to an individual order they are charging the card. But it seems they are building up a large batch before shipping later this week (Thur/Fri) is my guess. P4S will likely happen tomorrow for the earliest charge but I don't think anyone will have a tracking number till Thurs at the earliest.
There should be a link to add a free gift message. This is what I was referring to - https://forums.macrumors.com/thread...shipping-thread.2009747/page-97#post-23881658
This is a shot of where it is. Mine is still there, no charge yet...email at 11:42PDT on the 27th. I think it is only on the website version.
Well 48 hours with a charge, 24 hours with the gift option removed and still no shift.
Spoke to Apple to question why the charge had come through but no change to status and was told what I already know "my order will show up between the 14th and 21st Nov"

Thats BS, I called one lady told me the same thing. I called 3 days later a really nice guy answered and upgraded me to next day shipping. It bumped my shipping up 4 days. It was awesome, just have to get the right person.
I've looked at a few threads, and there seems to be no correlation. I may be wrong though
My option has been gone a couple days but my cc has not been charged, so doesn't look like it means much.
I think I'll be crying anyway.
The cost of this MacBook Pro will be nothing compared to the hit most will take in the stock market tomorrow.....
Well hey guys, on the bright side.. Apple has a great new slogan they can rip for the iMac/Mac Pro + Mini keynote..
"Make Mac Great Again"
[doublepost=1478668445][/doublepost]Hey guys. Just an update, I've been trying to talk to some of the Apple support reps in the chat to see about early deliveries and things like that, so far this is the best I've got.
Apparently the first batch is slated for an 11th to 17th delivery. Strangely enough, I haven't seen anyone post an 11th delivery, the earliest has been the 15th. They then said that "Personally I think we will but I can not guarantee that" -- which stays true to Apple's typical "underpromise, overdeliver" kind of shipping on new stuff.
Screenshot attached.
Also, there's no way to get shipping expedited. They went on to say, like many other support reps, that it was already shipped the fastest way possible. Sorry for not screenshotting that as well, but I took the screenshot after getting the delivery information and closed it without getting that in there.

I spoke to a guy from apple and he upgraded me to next day shipping which moved my shipping date up 4 days. He said whenever it ships, lets say it goes out on Monday, you will get it Tuesday.
No it was, he was really nice and helpful. No charge and upgraded to next day delivery.
Good news! For those of you in Canada who have purchased - my credit card JUST got charged minutes ago. I ordered a 15" space grey w/ touch bar, 516GB hard drive, & 4GB ram for those who are wondering. My original delivery dates were Nov 18th to Nov 25th. Status officially on Apple is still 'processing'.
For those who had their shipping expedited, are you requesting via the store chat box? The 1800 apple phone number? Or the apple store number?
This was a BTO unit correct?

I only got mine upgraded if I called them. The chat people all said the same thing.
