How are the UK 15" BTO's? My order is still processing, ordered straight after the event. Screen Shot 2016-11-13 at 00.29.17.png
 
sorry if it's already been mentioned in this thread, but the new macbooks will be at Best Buy stores on Tuesday for those looking to just get the standard configurations (non BTO).

how is everyone migrating their info from previous generation macbooks? wondering if the wifi transfer is reliable

I almost ordered from Best Buy just to try to get it quicker but the $115 price difference due to not having the education discount turned me off. Tax was cheaper ordering from Apple than from BestBuy too.

I just plan on dragging and dropping from my external hard drive. The last time I tried to do Wifi transfer, it took forever.
 
I bought a USB-C cable to transfer from my 12" MacBook. Should be nice and fast. :)

I bought a TB3-to-TB2 adapter and a TB-to-FW adapter to daisy chain between my mid 2010 15" MBP and my new one. I have those already (they were ordered the day after I ordered the MBP).

Glad to see people having their orders ship today, but it's leaving me a bit confused. My wife and I placed our order within about 20 minutes of the store coming back up after the keynote was over (base 15" with the only upgrade being the video card to the 460...one for each of us 2-3 week shipping Nov. 17-25 delivery).

Our card was charged on Monday and our order was moved to Preparing for Shipping on Thursday around the same time as everyone else. I'm seeing a lot of people that are saying that their order has shipped while our order is still sitting at PFS for well over 48 hours now.

This is the longest I've ever had an Apple order sit stuck in PFS. Hell, we're also seeing people with 4-5 week shipping range being shipped already. I wonder what is Apple's logic in the order they process orders....some of this just isn't making any sense.

Though I'm right there with you and constantly refreshing, you shouldn't worry about this that much. My iPhone 7 for example was preparing for a while, shipped, but seemed to be stuck for a while, but then just appeared in Kentucky and arrived the next day. Your order may suddenly switch to shipped and be on some random plane that arrives Monday or Tuesday. Not making promises of course, just speaking from experience.
 
Mine went through this song and dance, dunno if anyone elses did.

I have 16-23 (Brisbane) and im still on processing - ordered literally the second things went live (had a spec list preselected)

I'm 15-22th BTO 15 Inch (Brisbane CBD) and I'm the same as you, I'm still processing, but i ordered after you, had to wait for my wife to use her UniDays Account.

I'll hopefully be seeing it Tuesday-Friday... Tuesday would be good:)
 
15 BTO Space Gray UK, ordered 31/10. My Paypal credit has shown a charge pending on Thursday. It was like that on 31/10 then disappeared and now is back again on pending. Hopefully there is some movement! Delivery estimate 6-11 December
 
My credit card got charged earlier this week when everyone else's did and the charge was there up,until today and it disappeared. My order status is still in preparing for shipment though. Hoping my order gets charged foreal this time and it gets shipped soon.

Same dance here. Still hoping for Monday!
 
So did any true stock models with absolutely no upgrades to the machine whatsoever get PFS/shipped today?

Anyone think that there might be a bunch of stock models on these planes heading out this weekend?

I got that too for one of my 15s. The other departed to JP and now departed from there.

or more then likely happening on Monday?

Charged and P4S last night. no movement today. Hoping it's already in the states and will ship out monday!
 
So did people get on UPS81 out of Osaka today? If so congrats. I'm still P4S since Thurs. Hoping mine will be on UPS81 out of Shanghai on Monday.

And I just read about UPS85. That might be special just for Apple as it rarely flies?? Or maybe it just flies once a week.

Have any Canadians with BTO had theirs ship yet?

In the same situation.
