Has anyone ordered a CTO model within the last few days, which says it takes 5-7 business days to ship, had any experience with a faster ship time?
Here is the story. You place your order & Apple submits your credit card for authorization. This can take a full day or two. Once your card clears they process the order. Depending on work load that can take up to a day. Then your order goes into waiting to be built. After it's built, it's packed & shipped. It's at this point, the "ships in" days apply. I've recieved a CTO order in as few as six days, and as long as twenty eight days.
 
Do you guys find that shipping takes longer through resellers? I ordered a macbook pro about 2 1/2 weeks ago then last Thursday Apple cancelled my order because the new macbooks came out so I reordered on Friday. Unfortunately the reseller doesn't seem very keen on giving me a timeframe or tracking #, and my current macbook is slow as hell when I spawn my SQL Server vm so I'm getting a little impatient :) I'm definitely going to get my employer to order online next time.
 
Here's mine, anyone want to wager a guess as to when I'll get it? It's headed to the Sacramento area in California with an estimated delivery of 4/22 by 4:30 PM. To all those people who were able to get Hold at Location, did you do anything special? The FedEx rep I talked to said that Apple specifically told them not to allow it... I'm having a hard time believing that... :(

Sacramento here, too.... also sched for delivery Thursday before 4:30. Your MBP won't be lonely. :)

I'm thinking I might have the record so far for time from order placement to delivery. (Order placed within the first half hour after the on-line store opened on release day).

Just curious, is yours expedited? Mine is headed for Northern California as well, but my delivery estimate is Wednesday before 10:30.. still not movement yet since landing in AK though.
 
Mine landed in AK at 11:41 AM and it's still stuck there. I'm supposed to get it tomorrow by noon. I'm in VA and I paid for expedited, so hopefully it'll be here tomorrow!

No, mine was the standard shipping option... a choice which I'm regretting more and more with each passing minute!

Same here, stuck in AK and didn't clear customs yet...

Same here! I saw that the shipping estimate didn't change between the two options, so I though I'd be smart and just save $18... I would really like to have it by that morning, so that's why I asked FedEx if I could do Hold at Location, but they said Apple doesn't allow this... Which is interesting since other people have been able to do this, I think I'll call Apple and see if this is true.

Mine too stuck in ak, fedex says itll be here in ny tomorrow before 10:30am.
 
Mine has moved from Memphis finally. It's most likely enroute to Manchester, NH by FedEx flight 913. It should arrive by 7:15. :) My scheduled delivery is tomorrow at Noon.
 
Anyone else from Ontario have their MBP shipment stuck in Louisville, KY all day today?

Yep. Mine was scheduled to get to me by Thursday, but now it doesn't say when. My guess is that it will be sent up here to Ontario tomorrow or over night and then get delivered on Thursday as promised.
 
Same. Thursday by 430 is when I get mine. HURRY UPPPPPPPPPPPPP!

Ah mine too.

Where is the ultimate location for yours?
Mines going to AZ, but it was interesting to see the tracking info say it shipped from Shanghai to Anchorage. I thought they would fly to Memphis or LA.
 
Mine's been sitting in Anchorage now for almost 12 hours, with no updates (not even customs clearance). It's supposed to make its way to Northern California in less than 18 hours. Come on FedEx, make it happen!

Has anyone whose package landed in Anchorage, AK on Apr 20, 2010 3:48 AM seen any further movement with theirs?
 
Ordered mine Thursday, delivers Apr 19 - Apr 23...somehow I don't think that's going to happen. :(

Finally left Alaska

Not so far, however it's still listed as "On Schedule". I wonder if mine will go to Minneapolis directly and therefore got a lower priority with customs processing.
 
I'm going nuts. MBP just sitting around for days, pointlessly. Get the damned thing on a jet and get'r done, UPS/FedEx.

Where is it sitting and for how long has it been there??
Mine has been in Louisville, KY since 9:30 this morning (04/20)...I'm in Toronto and expect to receive my MBP on 04/22. I ordered mine from Apple on 04/14....standard shipping.
