My Nov 21 order (SG 15"/512/2.7/460 with edu discount) just went P4S!
They managed to do it in the last day of shipment window
Where are you located?
Just curious, since your ordered specifications is exactly what I ordered on 11/15, and I'm still in Processing.
EDIT : Nevermind, saw that you listed St. Petersburg on your profile. Congrats!

I ordered a 2016 macbook pro 15" 512gb radeon 455 from BHPhotovideo. Got it last wednesday, and everything went ok.

Update for anyone who ordered a new MBP through an educational institution:
I just spoke with a rep at Apple who explained to me that Apple realizes that most educational institutions close for a couple of weeks at the end of December, so all MBPs that had an estimated delivery date within those last two weeks automatically get delayed until the first week of January if they were ordered through an educational institution.
Educational institutions must get lower priority anyway, because I ordered on 11/7 and others who have ordered weeks after me have gotten my exact model already delivered. There has never been a problem in the past, but this is the first time we've ever ordered something with a wait.

Is ordering with an edu discount the same as ordering through an education institution?
No. They are different.
[doublepost=1481922305][/doublepost]My order just changed to Preparing for Shipment!!
11/15/2016 - Ordered
12/12/2016 - Card charged
12/16/2016 - Preparing for Shipment
Specifications : 15"/2.7/RP460/512GB
Remarks : EPP - Friends & Family Discount applied
That's not encouraging. My 13" SG/3.3 GHz/512 GB SSD/16 GB RAM was ordered on Nov. 4th through an educational institution. I've tried to chat with them, but I didn't know the billing address for the order, so I wasn't able to make any progress. I'm now trying to get the necessary information from our purchasing dept. Since we can receive items in the last two weeks of December (with the exception of a few days), I'd like to see if Apple will at least honor their original delivery estimate of Dec. 12 - Dec. 26, as I'm leaving the country on Dec. 30th.
Do you have the order number? That was all I needed. I would definitely try calling them. It sounded like they could release the hold if you asked. He even had the exact day it would be ready for shipment (20th), but since we close on the 23rd for two weeks, he said there was no way it could be here on time, even with expedited shipping.
Yes, I have the order number and can access the order info page. I'll do as you suggest and give them a call. What number did you use? Thanks for the info!
[doublepost=1481924264][/doublepost]
I can verify that as being true...which is why I couldn't get very far...
I don't know about phone calls, but if you speak with a Specialist online through the chat, they will always ask you for your full legal name, billing address, and the last 4 digits of the phone number on file.
Apple Store for Education Institutions: 1–800–800–2775 . Option 4 and then whatever the option is for "all other issues"
Ok, I just talked to someone and indeed there was a holiday hold in place. They're in the process of lifting the hold so hopefully it will make it in time. All they needed was the order number. Thanks for the head up!
Everyone has been having different experiences, but my order took less than 24 hours to go from P4S to getting the shipping notification
December, this Wednesday just gone. Delivery estimate first week of January, so little surprised to see them take the funds so early. Fingers crossed this means I'll get it sooner than I thought, but order status hasn't changed yet.
Went P4S on the 16th (yesterday). Hopefully it'll arrive before Christmas weekend.
Update: shipped! 21st eat delivery.
