I called the closest store to me (Tacoma Mall, Tacoma, WA) and they had no clue when they were going to get any. They said they had the new thick macbook pros but not the new thinner ones.
Got a tip for us?

Tell him to take a picture of the box.
Idk how the privacy policy works I wouldn't want to risk his job haha
hopefully their inventory system will be updated tomorrow or shortly after that?
This is kind of getting me worried... What if they shipped out the "older" new MacBooks and not the Retina MacBooks to the places we all had contact with (and we're told they'd have inventory tomorrow)?
Is it worth canceling the order now and to order when pick up is open or would that just take longer?
Just called Boylston Street store in Boston, MA. They have everything except the Retinas, and they didn't have an ETA on those . Online shipping times have already increased to 2-3 weeks?!?

I hope we can get one in store then. I really do.
I hope so too. I've already ordered a Retina, Cancelled a Retina, Ordered a Maxed 13" Air, and Cancelled that. Just can't decide yet. Damn you, Apple.

Lol
Doesn't seem like anyone has these in hand yet. Might be a while.
Three weeks shipping time now is crazy.

Damn... This same thing again. Now I'm starting to think that these "shipments" the stores are talking about are just the non-Retina MacBook refreshes.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, I SHOULD'VE ORDERED WHEN IT WAS 3-4 DAYS!!! Or maybe not. We shall know tomorrow morning at 10:00AM EST.
I hope so... I really do. Of the notebooks I have right now, one has a broken GPU (I can't even watch a YouTube video for more than a minute without the whole system slugging) and the other one is a really old NetBook with a screen smaller than my iPhone (not really, but you get the point).
I ordered my MBP Retina today online, and then called Apple to see if I could change the delivery method to in-store pickup. The person I spoke to said this could not be done because the stores don't know their inventory yet. I am going to try again tomorrow and see if I get a different story. Also, the shipping time when I ordered was 5 -7 days.
Just called my New Hampshire apple store and they have them tomorrow. Guess who's going to be waiting outside their door when they open.
Do you have any idea if they were talking about the Retina MBP?
That's when all of the Apple retail stores are opening around me (all 3).
EDIT: Okay, so just out of curiosity, I called a store near me again (not one closest, but 2nd) and they said they'll have them tomorrow. I asked, "Are you DEFINITELY going to have them tomorrow?" He said, "As soon as we open." And I clearly stated that I was looking for the Retina one. So now my only thing is, do I even bother going to the one closest to me or just hit the one that's definite?
