I think it is weird I see people here ordered their SR MBP over a week before me, and not getting shipped after me.. I ordered the same machine, BTO with 160gb hdd the 18th June, and it shipped the 21th! weird..

It's very possible. Sometimes locations that are away from larger cities have much longer shipping times.
Do you mean the 7200rpm or 5400 ? I'm just thinking did you order the 2.2ghz and upgrade to 160gb 5400
I didn't upgrade to the 7200 RPM and mine should be coming on the 26th of June. Ordered on the 16th of June.
I ordered mine the 15th and it finally shipped today, the 21st. Looks like it's going to take them about five days to get it here to the midwest from Shanghai, although if I know one thing about FedEx it's that if they don't make their estimated shipping date, it's because you've already received your package. ;D
From what I've been reading in this thread, the later in the month you ordered, the faster it's gotten to you. Apple doesn't seem to care enough to give earlier orders higher priority.
I'll cross my fingers for the weekend, maybe Saturday.
Unfortunately the shipment for the basic-configured MBP SR I ordered on Jun.16 has been delayed for another 9 days without any reasons.
Did anyone here experience a second delay before?Unfortunately the shipment for the basic-configured MBP SR I ordered on Jun.16 has been delayed for another 9 days without any reasons.
I ordered the base config on June 18th, my order status changed to "Prepared to Ship" on Friday.
What is your order status?
The status keeps "Not yet shipped", but the ship date changed from "Jun 19 - Jun 21" to "Jun 29 - Jul 3". Actually I dont know why they cannot deliver the "basic" model on time...
I just bought mine today and it says:
Ships July 2nd-5th
Delivers: July 5th-10th.
Since I ordered it around 5pm I didn't expect the order status to change any, but when I checked a little later out of curiousity, it said that the printer and ipod were ready to ship, but the mbp wasn't....hmm.
I got the SR MBP 2.2/matte screen with 160HD @5400. I hope it gets here before the estimated date, I am so excited, this is my first mac!

I've been reading all these posts waiting for mine to come, and would just like to share how my delivery went and hopefully ease some concerns:
I'm in New Zealand, ordered the 2.2 GHz MacBook Pro, BTO with 160gb (5400rpm) hard drive on Wednesday 13th June after not seeing any iMac updates at WWDC.
The accessories I ordered with it (elevator, apple wireless kb/m, incase sleeve) shipped on Thursday 14th June and arrived Monday 18th June.
The MBP shipped a whole week early, on Wednesday 20th June (the orginal date given was 25th - 27th June) and arrived on Friday 22nd June (again a whole week early, was informed 29nd June).
I'm very pleased with the new computer, it's astoundingly quick! I have it set up with an exact 120gb (formatted) partition for Mac OS X, which leaves around 28gb (formatted) for Windows XP, which I will use for gaming and the odd program that doesn't offer a Mac version. As an Architecture student using CAD software and image processing for layout I very much needed the upgrade from my old iMac G5 1.8 Ghz. That now sits in the family study where my parents use it for iLife, word processing and internet which it is still more than fine for.
It came pretty much perfect and with none of the defects I'm reading so much about - no yellow tint to the LED display, no excessive fan noise, no warped casing or loose trackpad buttons here. As a 2-week sufferer of the infamous "fan noise whine" from the Rev. A iMac G5's before it got replaced, I'm extra satisfied that I've yet to experience any similar problems with my MacBook Pro.
Thanks for reading!

That's interesting. I ordered a standard 2.4 15" on the 18th and it was shipped out on the 18th. However since then the apple tracking page has shown "In transit to final destination - carrier details to be updated shortly" so I can't even track it properly (although the page hasn't been updated since the 22nd for the weekend I assume). I have an estimated delivery date of the 29th, I'm hoping it might turn up a couple of days sooner, but with still no courier tracking details, I'm not too hopeful.
I am gonna call them tomorrow and ask them what the heck is happening. Even though the flight was delayed yesterday, the plane should have left later, or even with todays flight (i hear they are daily), and if so, the time difference from shanghai means it should have arrived in the Netherlands. I just hope they didn`t forget it at the airport
I called TNT today and they don't know any more than the information on the tracker page, or she didn't want to tell me. Neither could she give me any information on the expected arrival date. Very useful...
Possibly a lot of Macbook Pro's are now sitting at some airport in Shanghai getting brushed aside all the time for more high priority packages. The Apple page still says 26th of june delivery and 'delivery on schedule'. I don't really believe that though.

Yeah, no updates for my tracking code either
I also don't believe that tomorrow is viable...guess I have a good opportunity to practice more patience..Woo Hoo! Must have missed a couple of scans, because it magically showed up in Marina del Rey (right near LAX) this morning. I just hope it doesn't a) sit there for a day or two or b) end up with a delivery attempt while I'm at the doctor's office.
I just called TNT again. According to the employee the MBP is already in Amsterdam and I will get it tomorrow
TNT tracker updated:
25 jun 2007 16:48 Arnhem Hub Consignment Received At Transit Point
25 jun 2007 16:38 Arnhem Hub Consignment Passed Through Transit Point
23 jun 2007 15:00 Pudong International Airport Potential Linehaul Delay Due To Bad Weather
Should arrive june 28th in Sweden. Woohoo!1
Damn it to F! I wanted to just mosey on down to the Apple Store on Michigan Avenue today and pick up a MacBook Pro but I called ahead of time and they are completely out. BLAH.
Update: I just called around and every Chicago area Apple Store is out of them! I guess I really should have been paying attention to this delay news.

I'm nearing purchase time and a lot of shops are running out of stocks in the UK. Not that many stocked them in the first please...
Just ordered mine...
I finally ordered my new 15 inch Mac Book Pro with my free (well it's $50) iPod video and free color printer today. My shipping date is July 2nd or after and it should arrive July 5 (on my b-day) or after. I can't wait to get it! By the way, it will be my first Mac. Thanks for all your helpful posts.

Posting from the new MacBook Pro now! Battery life is WAY better than my cranky old Powerbook's. The screen is ridiculously awesome, and I was pleasantly surprised at how light the computer was. I was expecting something of fairly similar weight to my PB, but it's at least a pound or two lighter.
I haven't put it through serious paces with stuff like Garageband and Photoshop, but so far, so good on the heat. Now I just need to get things like Smackbook and MacSaber going.
