Not yet, if there is no movement tomorrow, I will doubt I can get it before thanksgiving. What I don't want to see is the order shipped but stopped because of Thanksgiving. Please make my holiday!

Yeah I wanted it before I got out of work for the Holidays... If it's not charged or shipped by the 21st, I'm gonna see if the BestBuy an hour away from me has it in stock by chance. I guess time will tell. Maybe I'll wake up in the morning with a surprise.
 
Geez TNT are useless! My shipment status has not been updated since it left Shanghai on the 15th! It is now 2.15pm on the 17th here... planes can't fly for that long!

TNT is pretty useless, but just letting you know my TNT order from New Zealand that left Shanghai same date, got a status update 2-3 hours ago saying it has arrived in New Zealand. Still going to take until Monday to get to me though, pretty rubbish.
 
Did anyone's FedEx "Clearance Delay" disappear yet? Mine is due for delivery tomorrow but it's still in Memphis :/ according to the tracker. Both flights to Utah from Memphis already landed and the tracker doesn't seem to have changed

Same here. It should be delivered today or so but I don't think it will make it.
 
Looks like mine will be on TFR22 SYD-MEL at 22:20 tonight. Overnight processing in Melbourne, on the truck in the morning, I'm working from home tomorrow, wooooohooooo!
 
Got my email saying my in store pickup is ready 30 minutes before they closed. I'll be heading to the mothership (infinite loop) tomorrow!!

If anyone has ordered a stock model, I would highly suggest going to a nearby apple store. My local apple store has a bunch of them on stock but not the one that I ordered. :( so still gotta wait for 2 more weeks. I live in Vancouver, BC btw.
 
I walked in to my Apple store in Portland and they had the 2.9GHz/1TB/460 in stock today. I grabbed one

I checked the Apple Store near me and they said I had to custom order it. Best they had was 2.9GHz/512GB/460

I passed as I want 1TB
 
Ordered mine 5 hours after keynote. Estimated delivery date of 11/25-12/2.

13" 512 SG

Went into the 5th Avenue Apple Store regular employee said they had none in stock. Asked manager, walked out with 1 in 10 minutes. Cancelled my order online. I hope you all move up a spot.
 
Me too. I even called Apple about it. Also, if you look very close to the touch bar, it looks blurry... you can actually see pixels... so much for being a "Retina display."

Looking at Youtube video reviews of the touch bar, it looks brighter, so I took my iPhone and recorded a video of it, I noticed that it looks brighter in the video playback than it actually does in person... oh well, I'm still happy :)
 
for the record if you call the stores they are going to say they have no stock. you have to go in and look
 
I agree, not as bright
When they say "Retina Display", they actually meant you won't see any individual pixels at the intended viewing angle. The touch bar is supposed to be viewed at a 45 degree angle...but I agree, even though it's better, it still looks aweful.
 
#FedExGate :D

"The tracking information shows that the package has made it through customs in Memphis. The package will be sorted tonight at midnight and the tracking information will update once the sort is complete. As of right now the scheduled delivery is pending until the sort completes."

definitely not true for all the stores, I called my local store today and they had multiple in stock of different configs, just not the one I wanted/ ordered =/

Might be worth re checking, mine update changed to arriving in Sydney at 1:30pm.

Yours could have just been lying around and hadn't been scanned yet.

Im still down for an estimated 18th delivery in Brisbane... be good if it pans out that way.

I did the same exact thing. I'm love the computer, I just wish it were brighter.

I did not know that. Thank you! :)
 
Might have to check out in store - lucky enough to have a few Apple Stores nearby
You realize all you have to do is email the business team at the store you want and almost all of them have higher end and base models in stock, they'll even hold them for you for two days :)

Just tried this, never even thought to do it. Thanks for the recommendation!
