Guess I'm glad I woke up at 3:30am (east coast) and ordered, mine says Delivers January (which I expect to be late January).

Ditto. I knew these were going to sell out fast so I was up at 3AM Eastern refreshing the screen until the store opened up. I have an estimated January ship time.

I'm waiting...Apple really screwed up the launch.

How so?

This isn't a mass produced item like an iPod. Most posters yesterday expected shipping in February. Looks like some lucky folks will get theres before 2014. BTO will get them in January.

im guessing stock models will be available in store on the 30th

The funny thing is, I just went across the street to my local Apple store, and they still have the old cheese grater Mac Pro on display... that they've had for there for months. Bizarre. I guess they don't sell a lot of these at retail, otherwise a staff member might have noticed it was discontinued.

If it wasn't so busy, I would have asked someone about it.

Same at my store! I was really surprised by that. It's not up to Apple's typical attention to detail.

Pretty typical. When the redesigned iMac came out in 2012, the Apple stores around here had the 2011 model in the stores for at least 4 days. I see this with all Macs. It took them about 2 weeks to get a retina Macbook pro in the store when it first came out in 2012.

And you know for sure that's the reason, because?

What are you waiting for?

What should companies do? I am curious to hear the opinions of successful CEOs, such as yourself, about how to "not screw up a launch".

I'm sure President Obama would like to know too.

I got a question.
People who ordered within availability of Jaunary, do their orders now aswell show February?

Mine still shows "Available to ship: January." Purchased at 6:00 Eastern Time, Canadian store.

And my memory from Crucial has already shipped. :D
