When ordering, I was given the option to pay $10 extra and it arrives between April 16 and April 20. Did anyone else go with that option? All I have seen is April 22 from others.
 
16th to the 20th for me, regular shipping. Pretty ticked off as to how poorly Apple launched this product.

I've got a 15 inch MBP that is on it's last legs. Was going to drop it off for repair and use this as my travel computer.

How/why Apple can't figure out product availability better is beyond me, and I'm starting to contemplate a return (after many years) to the Windows world (or maybe even Linux).
 
Yes, I have 16-20. Though if it ships out today, I'd expect it sooner. Normally their estimates are over estimates.
 
I also paid the extra $10 and have a delivery date of 16-20. My order is still showing processing hopefully it ship today. I ordered the 512/1.2. Has anyones order here showing preparing for shipment ?
 
Ditto - Space Grey, 1.2, 512

Did anyone else notice that the $ 79 adapters are backordered 2-3 weeks?

Same here. Paid the $10 and got April 16-20.preparing for shipment
 
Anyone else have there order still showing processing ? Mines still showing processing hope it changes soon
 
You can call them and add the option.

I called and try to, they told me they couldn't change it after 30 minutes on hold.

Ironically, I ordered one right as they went on sale online for in store delivery> Arrival date the 22nd. Regular shipping.

I ordered another one 5-10 minutes later for shipment to work. Arrival 16th to 20th via regular shipping.

Why does regular shipping beat the in store arrival in the same town by two days?

You cannot change your order. But you can do what I did after I wrote that post -- i placed another order, paid the extra $10 (i am leaving town the 21st, so getting it the 22nd was not a good option), and then i called Apple and canceled my original order. It will be stopped before going out and instructed to "return to warehouse" at which point i will get a refund in 1-3 days. Seems good to me.
 
The order always says "preparing to ship" regardless of where your machine is. That's what I've noticed. I ordered this morning and right away my email said "preparing to ship". Well, of course it's not "preparing to ship" because the ETA is the 22nd.

You can order an iPhone and it gets shipped from China on Thursday and arrives at your doorstep Friday afternoon. It's clear there is a production issue. If Apple had the machines to sell they would. You're talking about $1,300 a pop for the base model. Even for a $70 billion dollar company that's a lot of revenue.

Same here, they couldn't charge my card last night but I might have goofed putting it in, re-entered and it still says processing. Same shipping dates of the 16-20th.

EDIT: Doh!! The shipping confirmation was just for my usb-c cable. Sorry!

I just paid the $10 dollars seemed worth it!
