My charge never fell off, it's been like this since they charged it... Just took the money and that's it.
I think Apple have spoiled us with how well/fairly they coordinate iPhone releases. They have shown us that they are capable of delivering to a lot of people in a bunch of different countries on the EXACT same day (or at least within a few days for more rural areas of a country, etc), even with a bunch of different shipping companies and phone carriers involved. Why give us all similar delivery windows and then blatantly favour the US? Growing up as a non-American I am pretty much used to getting things after the US do, but usually Apple spares me from the jealousy! 
Yeah I cant quite believe it but as they have taken full payment hopefully there will be some moment soon.
And you're in Germany?My 13 inch just shipped, and it should get here to me on Wednesday the 16th
This thing is just incredible. The display is breathtaking; the keyboard is actually quite good; better than I expected. The trackpad is massive but palm rejection is excellent. I'm typing this with both palms on the trackpad with no ill effects.
It's silent, it's fast, it's gorgeous. What a machine. Wow...

I'm going from mid-2012 retina MBP and I walked with Apple today. They said it should work.

Glad to hear about the palm rejection.
doesn't help when you see a Lenovo 910 yoga with a 4K display, ports, core i7, 1tb pcie ssd, 16gb ram for $1650. or a Hp spectre x360 with i7, 512gb nvme ssd, 16gb ram for $1299. I paid $2000 for a 13in MacBook with 16gb ram and 256gb ssd. I almost feel robbed. hopefully having the MacBook Pro in my hands tomorrow will change that.
Talked with Apple technical support today. They said it should work.
You're making me cry ugly tears... So close and yet so far!
Stop it, John! You're killing us here!
Nah, really glad to hear some genuine excitement with all those dull, over cocked reviews out there!
Were you unaware of the pice of the MBP at the time of order or how much cheaper windows based laptops are, before you ordered?
First post, longtime lurker, blah blah blah. I had to join so that I could comment on all this Euro business. I sincerely feel bad for the lack of communication. I've been there and it pisses me off. However, I highly doubt there is any Apple conspiracy. It's in there best interest to keep all customers happy. If I suspect anyone, it would be the EU for intentionally screwing Apple customers. Even if it's not intentional, shipping to the EU has a ton of hoops to jump through due to all the regulations of satisfying all 28 countries. Not to defend a big corporation like Apple, but they've sold more macbook pros then all other computers in 2016 just on preorder. That's a lot of logistics to deal with, and they probably don't know what the shipping companies are doing half the time. So many orders to deal with, they won't waste time on any vendettas. Since Jobs left, they don't seem to be interested in vendettas. Anyway, my 2 cents as a rational, business centric person. Only immature, thin skinned ******s would focus on lame, personal vendettas. Lucky for us, a d-bag like that doesn't have the awesome responsibility of delivering new MBP's, only managing nuclear codes.
Btw, back to the topic at hand, I am on the same Fedex 72 with 3:29 in-transit status. My 13" BTO estimated for Thursday 11/17.

A lot fewer options and configurations on the iPhones as well. There are quite a few different configurations that Macs can have making it impossible to predict the demand of certain machines.
This is excellent news!! I really hope we make it onto the FX72!
You probably paid directly from a debit card. Most of the people here paid by creditcard (me too) and at first we got a €1 authorization. I got charged for the full amount on the 11th.
Yeah, that makes sense. I used iDeal to pay directly from my bank account. So that's probably why.
so knowing all this, and you still paid $2k for it. your post is really conflicting.
I'm still questioning whether I need it, or want it. It's a pretty penny (delivery Dec. 17-21/processing) especially with the upgrading and without all the dongles. I know if I see a standard version in the store this week that I'm going to cancel this order and pick it up. The rep I spoke with said that after these order ship that the remaining dates should be adjusted.

The anticipation and sheer excitement over the new MBP delivery of folks here reminds me of the following movie scene.
