I chatted them up to confirm same-day didn't mess anything up. It looks good and they confirmed that PFS->Shipping is usually a week, if that means anything. Also, since when did reps disclose so much personal stuff? I like it but I almost forgot what I was calling about. It's pleasant, but very surprising.
Got a tip for us?

I prefer OnTrac in the Bay Area also, they always deliver first thing in the morning vs UPS and FedEx usually delivering near the end of their shifts.
I've never heard of P4S to S being a week. My experience has usually been 24-48hrs...no longer.
I agree, I've been ordering and preordering from Apple for years and have never had one take much more than 48 hours to go from PFS to S. Since it is Friday here and Saturday in China, I think we will all be Shipped by Sunday.
Like I said, for what it's worth. We've seen inconsistent responses across reps. I hope you're right!
I ended up screwing myself. Ordered a few hours after the reveal, but I forgot to do it via an EPP. A few days later I also changed my mind from a 15" to a 13", so I canceled the 15" and ordered the 13". Then 10 days later started thinking I should have stuck with the 15". I didn't realize there was a 14 day return period or I would have done this differently.
Net result is I went from the first delivery window to dec 7-14 for the 13" and dec 23 for the 15".
Sigh

Yup. Some people have horrible ups or fedex, and both ours are great. I wish there were ways you could flag an account as 'never ever use this shipping company', but that plays havoc with logistic software.
I haven't heard anything and I am in the 11/28 - 12/05 delivery date range. I figure we will be at least another week.
It is what it is....
I did the opposite: ordered the 13 originally, but decided to switch to the 15 earlier this week. Now, my window extends to December 29.
If you can't read, I can't help you.
If you're purposefully joyless, arrogant, easily annoyed, easily offended, and generally unpleasant then you've probably found the perfect place to spend your time (internet forums)
Either way, lighten up babe
Maybe we'll start to get charges on Monday/Tuesday like the first batch did.
Had I known about the holiday return period, I would have waited until the 10th to buy all my dongles in case I didn't need them. Still, it looks like I'll get my 13" MBP before the return window on my dongle purchases closes.
I do not know what's worse hearing the same criticism geared at the new MacBook Pro like "its not a pro machine", "omg dongles" etc. Or the agony of waiting for my BYO to arrive at my doorstep. I only hope that when the reviews start rolling in there is some optimism for this elegant device.
