In Store Today?

Boston, MA area stores are just giving me a "most likely tomorrow, but if not, definitely in the next few days".
I called North Shore Mall store and the Boylston store, same stuff.
Went to the apple store earlier and was told they found out about the new mbp today as well, and that they would have it for sale in store tomorrow. My friend who works in an apple store in San Diego told me depending on how fast they can update their inventory they would have it for sale later today or tomorrow.
What San Diego Apple Store does he work at? I live in SD and am not sure if I sure wait to see if they come in store. Thanks
I'm starting to think the stores won't have them any faster than online orders. They have to wait for these units to ship from China just like customers do too. We won't see them in stores before June 21st in the US and June 26th in Canada. Just my guess, disappointing as that may be.
When we ordered our iPads and iPhones they arrived the same day as stores got them, so I don't see why stores would have these any faster this time around.
The keynote said ships today, not goes on sale today.

Yeah, but the website says "Ships in: 7-10 business days".
So I don't quite understand what exactly ships today... pretty disappointing I must say.
I called the Convent Garden and Regent Street Apple Stores (London, UK) earlier this evening, and they said they had no idea when they'd get the retina MBP. If they don't know the answer to such a simple question, why not fire them all together and just keep the website.
My local store said they're expecting shipment, for sale tomorrow. They just don't know whether the shipment will come by the time they open or not. I'm gonna try to get there as soon as it opens... If they have it, score. If not, I'll probably just sit on a bench in front of the store.
Also, it doesn't make sense to receive it the same time as people who order it online. The site clearly says 7-10 days until it ships, then states that you'll receive it 2-3 days after it ships if you choose expedited shipping. So clearly, they lied when they said it ships today (if they meant "to customers").

I hope so. I'd happily cancel my online order to pick one up. I'd prefer not to wait 2+ weeks. Ask your friend what specifically is in that shipment in the back though, could very well be the non-retina stuff.
Online store shipping estimates went up to 2-3 weeks in US, 7-10 days in australia and germany apple stores.
quick question for you guys.. if i want to do the order online, in store pickup and i choose the 2.6 but upgrade to 16gb RAM, will they already have those configuration sor will i be better off just getting it shipped to my house? I called and asked and he said it would be available for in store pickup the same day, all that needs to happen is an apple genius adds more RAM.
Thing is, on the retina MBPs (the one im getting) the RAM is soldered on.
I guess my question is.. do you think theyre getting shipments of different configurations? (upgraded RAM, not upgraded SSD / upgraded processor only, etc)??

I was just there and they said they may put the retina display mac book pros out tomorrow as they are getting shipments tomorrow.
As far as I remember, in the past it wasn't all that uncommon for Apple Stores to start selling new products the day of or the day after a product announcement, whereas with all orders online you have to wait for delivery from China.
I think the popularity of the iPhones and iPads makes them a whole different story. I reckon we'll see the new MacBook Pros showing up in stores over the next day or two.
This is kind of off topic, but I have a question on how payments work at the store. Are we able to just log in to our apple id there and pay with that, or do we need to give them an actual credit card? Hopefully in-store pickup will go live tomorrow when they stock the machines and I can pay online, but I ask just in case.
