Ok...I know I'm a nerd but I just calculated the $15 shipping charge along with my local 8.75% sales tax and guess what...it comes to $16.31 - Something is going to ship soon...:)

Has anyone else had this type of thing happen?

I had this happen to me too, but its nothing to get excited about :( I was charged $16.94 on one of the cards I'm paying with, and the charge was removed yesterday. Incidentally this happened on the day I called to get "free" expedited shipping on my order, so that's all it is unfortunately.
 
I got it today this morning. It took 2 days from china to my door. Hours from preparing shipment to shipped. FedEx delivered it before estimate 2 days.

Mine is still stuck in Memphis...

Looks like it is still being processed by US Customs. Considering it arrived in the US during the weekend, I would assume it will start moving again today.

Very strange charge then. I'm stumped. I'm 100% certian that I did not place an order in the last 2 weeks for something that cost $15 + 8.75%. I wonder what that charge is?!?!:confused:

I don't see another explanation. You may be right, but that is unusual. Who knows...

You should double-check whether or your state taxes services such as shipping.

Sales tax rates and categories differ by state.
 
Just wanted to let everyone know that my BTO just shipped. It has a UPS tracking number.

3-4 weeker. Will update spreadsheet ASAP
 
Congrats! I'm 6/13 as well, this gives me hope.

Unfortunately, it also makes me less likely to ignore my order status today. I was totally set to ignore it this week.

Mine Shipped too! Exact the same timing as yours! :D

Mine it's going to Portugal! I guess it's time for some Euro orders! :)

The email sais 3rd July for delivery...I'll update status later through tracker ;)
Thank you! Yeah me too actually. But things in China are moving fast for us Europeans! Mine says 3rd July to 7th July. Nothing to track yet, but I got a reference number.

Should I update the "Expected Shipment on" in the spreadsheet as well? Because now the delivery dates has been changed.

Arrggh, Google servers are busy :( Can't update the spreadsheet.
 
Mine just made it here! Really nice screen I don't see any imperfections on mine~ Party on guys!

Came 2 days earlier then Fedex's estimated date of delivery (shipped on saturday came on monday) My est. date according to apple was July 4th to July 9th
stock model with an Ethernet dongle in the box.

Most people have concluded it's FDX90, which would make sense as it was scheduled at 11:22PM, and we were scanned at 11:18PM. We're on this flight. Although the status isn't updating, I'm assuming it's in the air.

FlightAware - seems to be lagging a bit. Still showing 11PM departure
FlightStats - Showing updated departure time

It appears to be in the air, flightstats.com says it took off at 11:22 Shanghai Time, but we likely won't have any good information on it until it comes into US airspace and the FAA's database starts tracking it. This should happen around halfway ish through the flight, figure around 5:30EST.
 
I'm pretty sure that shipping is taxable if the item being shipped is taxable. If the item is not, the shipping isn't either.

Just checked and louisiana does charge tax on the shipping. Im now 99.99% sure that apple has charged my card for shipping the Retina.

I'll keep you up to date.
 
Hmm. Apple hasn't taken my money yet from my account. Even tough my computer has been shipped it's still says I have $2200 on my account.

Should I be worried?

Same thing is happening to me but I wouldn't put too much thought into it. I'm sure Apple will bill you soon don't worry lol

I hate to break the news to you but Apple charges the shipping charge on the first item shipped so if they shipped your $100 card that is why the shipping charge shows up. IMO that is not right to charge you to ship a card that could be sent to you by email (the code). I was charged the $15 shipping with my card last week. Still just processing on my computer...
 
I ordered 2.3/8/256 stock rMBP at 5pm PDT from Sacramento, CA on 6/11. I'm a 2-3 weeker expecting delivery on June 28 - July 5. I'm still in "processing items". Ugh
