Why people don't understand that Apple rep. know nothing about delivery times? It's not useful to ask them about your delivery times...
Weird i'm in November range and still no pre-auth and I check ALL_THE_TIME xD
Was the same for me for the rMBP in 2012 but the Watch shipped from their warehouse in Prague last year.
Hi
This was the same for my 2015 rMB. Ordered within 10 mins of availability and took ages to arrive. But did follow it on the plane from China - S Korea - Kaz - Poland - Germany - UK. Took 6 to 7 days in total I seem to remember. It spend 48 to 72 hours in China & S. Korea. I guess waiting for more stock to arrive
From another thread but definitely worth a watch.
Me too... like around 20 times a day... Still have money in my acc. Although, strangely, Apple seemed to charge my debit card on the day I ordered and it reappeared in my acc a few days back... Still says Processing Items in the store.
My delivery range is from 11 (tomorrow) to the 18th. Haven't had any charge for base model yet. Though in UK. I think they will be in the U.K. Now and will dispatch tonight for delivery tomorrow.
Just ordered myself a 13´MBP with touch bar. Delivery says 4-5 weeks. Im hopping Apple stays true to its tradition of exaggerating the estimated delivery time. In my experience 4-5 weeks means 3-4 weeks.
Looked at the calendar today and just realized it will be exactly one month at the earliest when my mbp gets delivered
December 8 - 14 ? If so we're in the same boat.
I actually think it is exactly what Aaron said. They agree to buy "x" amount of initial stock, and I am sure it is a very large number. Apple fulfills that first and then takes care of their preorders and stores. It makes sense to take care of a guaranteed sale first.
If stock is sufficient Apple first wave orders and Best Buy orders should arrive at the same time. The problem with the rMB was supply was so slow they all went to best buy

Even though I would really like that ... I don't think that will happen ... we probably should have seen more movement on other orders if they are already shipped to U.K./EU
I really hope they start moving soon...my estimate is 16-23 November. No movement at all :-(
Just cancelled my 13" order and went large:
2.6GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 processor, Turbo Boost up to 3.5GHz
16GB 2133MHz memory
1TB PCIe-based SSD
Radeon Pro 460 with 4GB memory
Delivery is now 15-21 Dec... Hopefully it will be worth the wait!!

Not sure how important this is, but http://www.very.co.uk have the new touchbar models for preorder and delivery before 6th December. Could this be when the apple stores will have stock too?
P.S. I still haven't had any charge, movement, or even a £1 authorisation on my stock 13" TB SG which was ordered 5 mins after the store came back online. 25th-2nd delivery estimate.

How about you step away from this thread for a few days and just sit it out? I mean, they actually gave a certain delivery window and there's no reason to actually believe they're gonna deliver much earlier.
I KNOW how impatient you can get when you order something new that you're looking forward to, but ... geez.. don't make it harder for yourself.
From what I know, they will cancel the order and ask you to re order which obviously means your dates will slip.
I've read some people here got them to change it without cancelling though
With my original Apple Watch I didn't see any movements until the day before delivery, the only reason I knew it was coming was because of My Choice UPS. I got the Apple Shipping Confirmation the day of. I was charged on my credit card at the beginning of the week. I think this is what we are seeing again. My Thunderbolt 3 > 2 adapter will be here tomorrow via Fedex. We will see what else may show up in the next couple of days.
So you are getting annoyed, because they haven't charged you before its due to ship yet.
Give me you Credit Card details and ill make some charges
Really....if you have a estimated delivery date from Apple, then expect it to be a few days before then, it doesn't matter when they charge you, it's when they let you know its been sent with the tracking details that matter.
Apple has given me a delivery date of 15th to the 22th November... guess what, I'm expecting to to be between those dates it gets delivered......
It's just a damm laptop, go and play with your current Macbook Pro until it arrives.
