15 inch BTO here w/ British keyboard, Education pricing
Original delivery window 17-25 Nov
Ship to NH, US (east coast)
JUST MOVED TO SHIPPED!!
By FedEx tho. I thought it was gonna be UPS.
Shipped from Shanghai
FedEx doesn't have estimated delivery date and apple says 17th.

Mine is the same. I wonder if people who've received shipment notifications have a carrier delivery date that's earlier than Apple's estimated delivery date.
 
Just got a shipment notification of my 15" MBP BTO from Apple indicating a FedEx delivery. First pre-order I've done that is shipping internationally using FedEx.
Wow, that's the first I've heard of a FedEx shipment. I wonder if UPS couldn't handle everything and they needed to split deliveries between two companies in order to meet their delivery dates???
 
Original delivery date Nov. 17 -25. Apple email says Nov. 16th, UPS tracking says Nov. 14th. Departed Shanghai at 5:00 PM CN time Nov. 12th.

Macbook Pro 15"
2.6GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 processor, Turbo Boost up to 3.5GHz
• 16GB 2133MHz memory
• Radeon Pro 450 with 2GB memory

New Zealand 13" BTO, ordered as soon as store came online, one of the first to be charged, but still sitting on processing. ETA 14/11/2016 - 21/11/2016, somehow don't think it'll be arriving tomorrow, which is the 14th here.


Ordered Max Upgraded 15" within 30 Seconds of store coming online. Charge hold on anz instantly and refunded after it expired. In the first delivery patch yet i am still on processing :(
 
Have people in Aus had the charge amount taken yet? I've had 0 movement since ordering...

I'm kinda hoping that I'll see changes in the morning tomorrow (Monday)

I was charged almost a week ago (Monday morning)...still processing
 
Has Apple historically reserved the first batch of shipments for the higher end models? That would explain why my 13" BTO has been Preparing For Shipment for 5 days.

Not complaining because I think that would be a nice reward to those who opened up their wallet more. Do we know for a fact the 13's are shipping from China, or is it possible they've been built in the US?? One thing I know for sure is that my laptop is probably feeling very confident about its impending shipment after 5 days of intense preparation. Most laptops aren't willing to put in half the practice mine has gone through:confused:
 
Getting the dog sled ready to intercept US85 on the tarmac so I can pick mine up before it heads Outside.
I'm currently in AK right now also, unfortunately a long way aways from Anchorage, but if you would be so kind as to grab mine also I will drive down and pick it up tomorrow.
[doublepost=1479020548][/doublepost]FedEx...my hopes are getting up now....please Apple ship mine via Fedex....they actually put there stuff on a plane to get to me and not a 3 day truck ride.....

Still nothing, I start to believe they are processing orders randomly and they don't really know what's going on.
Hopefully they put more effort in designing the laptop than in how they are managing orders.

I was starting to think the same thing. They probably prioritized shipping based on price because all that has been shipped so far are the 15". I have been on PFS since Thursday

Similar boat here. My 13" BTO has been P4S for around 3-4days. Paid $2,900 :eek: plus tax, AppleCare and dongles, so yeah... That should be enough money to get things moving, right? Lol

For almost canceling and being disappointed in the lack of 32GB of RAM and the overall state of affairs with mobile hardware, gotta say I'm pretty excited for this thing now that the hustle is on and it's showing up monday. My Late 2013 is nearly as fast, but little things are bringing me down about it like the backlight not turning on unless I close and reopen the clamshell a few times.

Bring it on.
 
YES! Finally they charged me. I am expecting the status to change to "Shipment" tonight or tomorrow morning.

Mine is the 256GB 13" and i am in Australia :) Expected date of delivery is 16 Nov to 23 Nov.
