Hope you move to preparing for shipment soon!I thought this was common knowledge, but I've been proven wrong.

So the big question when do the reviews start rolling in? Also when do the first orders of MacBook pros ship out?. I read on these forums that stores will not be receiving them till next month, so is there a chance that the online orders can get further delayed!

I've got 21-25, ordered immediately after the keynote. It's definitely because our packages get stuck in Louisiana for an extra day and have to go through customs again. Very annoying.
BTO:
So they charge you, and then build it very quickly. Very efficient. I guess this is very common, with Apple, Dell, and the like.
Someone said they don't charge you until they ship it which is also probably true, as it's just a hold, then the charge.
We have got to track these suckers on the plane, me thinks

Where did you use to see that option?
I still see "Add free gift message"
I think that is what he meant.

www.flightaware.com will be a popular site for many on this thread in the next few days.Right!..unless it crashes
Yeh on the order page....it was there when i last checked about 6 hours ago and now its not there now.
Only option i have is to cancel the order, but the text "Add a free gift message" has gone.
Wait so... let me get this straight; if I don't spend upwards of $3,000 a day (over $1m/yr), then I can't afford a $3,000 laptop?
What if, I dunno; just a thought. I don't own a bank or anything. You put your money away for retirement, even if you make a pretty decent amount; but make occasional rare large cash purchases? And you make them so infrequently; that the bank flags them as suspicious because it's not like you to drop $3k in one swipe?
That's all this is. Banks don't flag cards because "Oh, this guy is broke, he can't afford this!". It's just an unusual pattern. Most of my transactions are probably less than $50. You know, a meal or something. And a few that exceed $200 or $300 dollars, a purchase of some sort. Regular monthly transactions (bills) are generally done with EFT so no debit card involved. But dropping $3,000 is definitely not something I do on a daily basis; which is why I let my bank know ahead of time to expect that charge.

How do you learn what the flight number is to track it?

Thanks for actually making a reasoned argument unlike others. I agree with the point you make. If you only rarely make a big purchase then it will be flagged. Letting the bank know ahead of time was a smart thing. And saves the stress and hassle that many are experiencing right now thinking their order may be dropped out of line.
In the past people have been pretty good about figuring out which plane things were on based on getting their shipment tracking # from UPS and following along from there. I can't remember if they UPS or Fedex for Macs from China? Either way once you get tracking info and see it scanned somewhere you can try to search UPS/Fedex planes leaving from that place.
Y'all still arguing about this? Bruh, go get my freaking laptop!
I'm in Louisiana and mine says nov 17-25. Fingers crossed for 17-18 because I'm going out of town the night of the 18th.
Sorry if already posted – any idea what time you got your order in? Same configuration here, but still no charge. Got my confirmation in at 2:26PM EST 10/27. Thanks.
gone on mine too....... I am 15 - 22 Nov delivery. Hopefully this means closer to the 15th than 22nd
The nice thing about that is that express shipments via UPS all go by air, and UPS processes all those in Louisiana. So I'd suspect you get your laptop early — or at least closer to the 17th. Obviously I'm no crystal ball, but just a guess.
I am 16-23 delivery and the gift message option is not there on my order as well.gone on mine too....... I am 15 - 22 Nov delivery. Hopefully this means closer to the 15th than 22nd
