I see, I guess then mine is coming quite soon as mine is Preparing for Shipment. Mine also is BTO- 15 inch. Anyone else is the same in Hong Kong or already shipped?
Got a tip for us?

I originally ordered the 13" TB with 512GB/16GB/3.3GHz-i7. After checking out my budget and past/current usage, the day after (28th) I cancelled that order and placed one instead for the 13" with TB 256GB/16GB/2.9-i5 with AppleCare… and I plan on making that MBP last me 6 years!guys i'm thinking about changing my stock 13" model to the other stock model (SSD Upgrade to 512 GB). Is this upgrade worth it? I'm not a big data messy or anything but i'm planning on having this macbook for at least 5 years. And i'm not 100% sure if i can upgrade the SSD with 3rd party kits that "cheap" (188 € for the storage update @Apple).
But what is even more important (at least to me): will the changing of my order affect my delivery date? My current date is set for Nov 23 - 30 in Germany (so yeah, EU). Dont want to wait any longer than the 30th of November
thanks in advance for your advise on this
Yes, cancelling/reordering changes your delivery window. I went from 2-3 weeks to 3-4 weeks. (Then cancelled that one also, in order to remove AppleCare. Now my delivery window is 4-5 weeks. Sigh.)
Storage really depends on your usage. My needs are minimal. My old 128 HDD on this mid-2007 Mac mini has 75GB available space!
Good! Hopefully mine is right around the corner. You "expedited" your order too, right? I really think that messed with our orders.
I saw someone on here earlier today who ordered last week and they got a shipment notification today.
The Apple guy told me one week on the phone for Europe, and I think that that's what It'll be...
No updates, we're all in the same boat. Processing Item
... but Apple aren't being preferential to people in the US...
This, I find, is what is really annoying. How can they justify moving people who ordered later and who received a 3-4 weeks shipping timeframe actually receive their product before those who were told an earlier date?
I know that it is just a computer, but seriously, it is a damned expensive one. As such, I feel I have the right to be annoyed.
This time, rant is actually over, I swear!
Yes, it says it is in AK now. It is estimating 2 more days (to California).
I am in the U.S. though and have yet to even be charged. If anything, they might be being preferential to people with "BTO" machines. It seems that the majority of people (on here) who get theirs today or have already been shipped were BTO.
Excuse me, you're not in the U.S. so your BTO order has been thrown to the pits until further notice.

Do you understand that there may be more at issue than just "Apple"? Shipping products into various countries--especially from China--is no small feat. There are lots of hoops to jump through, and there are big penalties if those hoops are missed. Plus, there may not yet be a critical mass of orders yet for your particular country or area of Europe. Apple is always going to favor the US. It's home and it is by far the largest economic center. That's just the way it is, and the way it's going to be--until Europeans start buying lots more Macs.
