2016 Macbook Pro, Order/Shipping Thread

Ordered my 15inch MBP with Radeon Pro 460 and 2.9Ghz quad core i7 (left 512 Gb SSD as I have many external hard drives for space hungry data). I placed the order the next day on Friday October 28th. It's been 4 weeks since then, and my order continues to say "processing" with an estimated delivery on Nov28th-dec 5th. Not sure what's taking Apple so long to bill me and ship my new toy. It'll be replacing a 2010 MacBook (white unibody) core 2 Duo, ram at 8 gb, with a 250gb SSD.
My expedited order was delayed yesterday from Nov.17-23 to Dec. 1-8, so there may be merit in the expedited delay claim.
Luck you! Sounds like the 15" are moving quicker than the 13". My window is Nov 25-Dec 2 (13" BTO) and no charge on my cc yet, order still processing (in Toronto). Enjoy your new machine!
I got PFS on Nov 9th I think. 9th or 10th. I'm on the spreadsheet with the correct dates. I don't have the spreadsheet link right now to check.
I had it upgraded when I placed the order right after the keynote. It was just stuck on processing forever until yesterday when the dates changed for no reason.
My 13" stock has dispatched within the last 20 seconds! Much excitement!

I'm 3 days in with my new 13" MBP w/ TB.
All I can say is that I'm really excited for all of you who haven't received yours yet. It's well worth the wait.

I am currently having a bitter sweet moment. I canceled my order I made on 28 October at 1:21 am and ordered a maxed out except for 1 TB 15'' Macbook Pro with a now in store pick up of Jan 2. I really hope it is before that date. I am going to try and find one with the same specs at my local apple stores in hopes of getting it earlier.
Alright, I just chat with CS saying if I upgrade my expedited shipping then it may delay my shipping. Sad...
Picked up my pre-ordered 15" BTO at the Apple Store yesterday. Moving from a mid-2012 (w/CD-ROM) the new MBP is truly a marvel of engineering. Because I use the Thunderbolt display at home and at work my dongle needs are small, just one TB3 to TB2 adapter per location and one USB-C to USB-A (USB3.1 mode) for when I need to plug in an external USB3 SSD or memory stick. I can live with my older USB2 and FW800 peripherals and CAT5 plugged into the back of the display.
Cheers, and best wishes for a speedy delivery!

Annnnnnd she's here, just in time to tinker all weekend, after a 36 hour stint in customs a province over. Moved very quickly over and down to me once released with UPS. Good luck to everyone else out there waiting.
Even if they just ordered one from the Online Store and then refunded me the cost... I don't really care.
Apple's customer service/warranty coverage in Canada is really lacking. I live in the largest city in the province but my nearest authorized Apple service provider is 1 hour away. When a computer needs repair, I need to drive it up there, drop it off, drive home, then do the whole thing again when they call saying the computer is ready. That's 400kms of driving just to take advantage of AppleCare warranty.
It's ridiculous that with such poor coverage in Canada that Apple doesn't provide ship-in repairs like every other computer manufacturer since the dawn of time.
These wait times are almost as bad as funding a Kickstarter campaign
They accidentally upgraded my shipping method for kindness, which may delay my shipping. If I cannot see movement in recent two days, I will buy one in store and return it once my own one comes.
btw, the dog in your avatar really looks like someone's butt.......( I just want to tell you, if it's offensive I apologize in advance)
I don't know if ordering off of the educational store is to blame. I don't regret it, it was close to $400 in savings.
Beware, after having mine a day or so, I started getting browser refresh button withdrawals.
Never thought I'd be so happy to see the words "Preparing for Shipment!"
Ordered 15" BTO 10/27 8PM EST from the education store online and went to PFS around 1PM EST today. Shipping to store (standard) in Boston. Still says December 2nd.

My 15 inch BTO going to U.S. just went from Processing to PFS and my card has been charged. Anyone know how long it usually takes before officially shipping?
