ordered mine on the 21st as well at 5pm.. finally turned over to prepared for shipping.

anybody know how long it takes to go from prepared for shipping to in transit?

Only took about 5-6 hours from the time I noticed the Prepared For Shipment (up to an hour after they changed it) to getting the shipping email. I'd probably expect similar results for other shipments, too. :)
 
I ordered mine on Apr 18. It changed to "Prepared for Shipment" 6 or 7 hours ago, but it now shows:

Ships: 4 business days
Delivers: May 6 - May 10

Does it really take 4 business days after "Prepared for Shipment" to change to shipped :(?

Ok so heres all the details of my order and its shipping to help you guys see what the wait would be like.

I ordered a 15in High-res glossy i7 with 7200rpm hd. It was ordered the 19th of April before noon local time.

My status changed to prepared for shipment at around 10pm (our local time) on the 27th and it shipped from the factory around 3:13 am (our local time) on the 28th.

Keep in mind for BTOs: They ship from Shanghai and they are 12 hours ahead of my local time.

Hello,

Thank you for posting that. My tracking information, times and destinations and everything including picked up after cutoff times and the dates and even the destination are the same. I also have IP shipping with FedEx and same expected delivery date (which is disappointing for me). Does anyone here knows for sure if this delivery date can be changed to be one day earlier especially that I tried to simulate if I am shipping it to myself and it gave me delivery estimate of Friday April 30. Also, do you know if this kind of shipment can deliver on Saturdays since I assume it is Express.

Please, help!

Thanks alot
 
Argh what is this. How did it depart China twice. Did they turn the plane around and forget something

Lame, ordered on the 19th to ship in 5-7 days. Got an update today saying there is a "delay" and will now ship by May 5th.

Ordered 15" antiglare/8GB/7200rpm HDD. Feel like canceling the order and just sticking with my old MBP. All this waiting has shown me I can keep waiting lol

This is really getting CRAZY. When you are a big company, you should prepare yourself for taking care of your customers. They should compensate you for this delay but they would not. They would use the fine print to always penalize you but not themselves. Basically, I discovered that any big company can be not that big when they want to.
 
Oh sweet jesus, it's almost here :D

I don't even know cause I ordered through my employer so I could get a corporate discount. All I have is the PO # and my zip code to check the order status. It just says ships within 4 days now. If I wanted to make a change I would have to call in. I'm guessing once it ships I will get an email with a tracking number.

My 15" CTO i7 MBP (ordered April 20) just shipped this morning with 2-day shipping.

And yet, somehow, estimated delivery is MAY 4.

WTF?
 
Order from a reseller at 5pm on the 13th, placed into the Apple system 10:02 am pdt on the 14th -- still not shipped.

It is 17 inch, i7, 7200, AG.

Delivered! FedEx guy even put it on the back porch as requested with the indirect signature. Too bad I won't be home from work until late.

I blame all of you for my uncharacteristic, unhealthy obsession with waiting for my new MBP to get here and the crazy looks I got from my wife as I waited for this thing.

Cheers. :)
 
Woo hoo received a shipping notice :)

Ordered - CTO 13" MBP on 4-26

Ahhhh, you rogue! You are my rival Casse!!! Did you spec yours out or get a stock one?

For the most part has everyone just done normal shipping? I got the 2-3 day and am not convinced it will save me any time. Did it take longer for those of you who got a custom one, to get to the shipping stage, or after it shipped?

2-3d shipping saved a day for me, I believe. MBHockey had his shipped a day before me, but ours arrived the same day. Not sure if that's worth $18, though...Unless he also had 2-3d shipping and mine just caught up to his...
 
can anyone in the uk help me - i ordered a MBP i5 2.53 with 7200rpm and matte screen a week ago, but it was through my work.

the ship time said 5-7 days on the website at the time of ordering

unfortunately because i ordered through work, i have no idea when the laptops (we ordered 3) would arrive. the online dispatch date today on the apple store now says 3 days, so i am thinking that things are speeding up.

i ordered a mbp (same machine but glossy) for my friend today (not through work) and it's saying an ETA of 26 days!

anyone in the UK order a similar machine last week, are you able to share your ETA please?

thanks!
 
Mine's 'In Transit' right in the UPS system. Though it's moving around strangely, it shipped to Japan it seemed then it shipped back to China? Hopefully it'll arrive by tomorrow, as I desperately need it by then. It changed from having an expected delivery date of tomorrow to not having one, though that happened with my Final Cut Studio and it arrived by the date it said before, hopefully that'll happen again. :(

I wish I could say that this thread has made me obsessed, but it hasn't. I'd be obsessed anyway. shaner, I thought that Apple required signature. did you "pre-sign"?

Can you please post the route yours is taking thus far? Mine left Narita Japan a few hours ago (UPS to Canada).
