Macbook Pro 2012 Order Status thread (all models)

No, so keep checking. Looks like movement is happening now .

Hoping for a Wednesday delivery on mine.

Meh. I have a long time to wait. I'm a 3-4 weeker. :-/

Shall I just go to my local Mac dealers and the Edu discount w/o the 100 iTunes gift card? I dunno...

Man, I regret not ordering the 12th when I first thought about it and ordering the 14th... Those 2 days are like 2 weeks wait difference.... Well Hopefully since Mines pretty standard 2.3/16/256 but has a JPN keyboard, I might get lucky... but dang this wait is killing me.

My 2.3 stock order just went to Preparing for Shipment. I ordered on 6/11 at about 11pm. I checked like 20 min ago and just by chance thought I'd hit refresh again just now and it switched.

My order was deleted somehow from the spreadsheet so I'm not updating it there (to have it deleted again).

In the uk we also get the warranty extended to 3 years if u purchase online via the edu store. Not sure what the warranty terms are for the states but if it gets extended also, might b worth waiting.

I can have my warranty doubled from my credit card... but I plan on getting AppleCare. I had it on my MacBook Pro 4,1 and Apple has treated me well.

Mine finally changed to preparing for shipment!

Ordered June 11th about 10:30 MST, 2-3 weeker delivery July 5-10. Now hoping I can somehow get it before the weekend! =D

 

[jypatl]

Ordered base rMBP on the 12th around 12:00pm EST just got preparing for shipment!!!!

Yeh i looked in to that too but our credit cards are crappy in the uk and we dont get extended warranties with them.

 

[Dunnite]

curse you FedEx!

my tracking shows that my macbook is 2 days ahead of delivery!!!, I got sooo excite and wait all morning in the house. I heard a truck drove away around 11:00 but never hear any knocks so I pay no mind to that. but then my tracking show "Delivery exception" WTH fedex!! they never tired to see if I was home or not! I guess since I lived in a townhouse they drove pass the garage and got too lazy to go around and check the front door, no notes on the door or anything.... so now I am waiting for the truck finish his route so I can go pick it up!!

Dam still lots of 2-3 weeks orders processing in the spreadsheet, not moving that fast.

Actually, that is not what it shows, anyone who has worked in a supply chain managed environment knows that you often do things in batches, if Apple takes that approach, they might spend 1/2 of a daily shift just building a specific model, maybe today they are building the 2.7/16/768GB models but yours will not be built until tomorrow. There are high levels of efficiency when building the same thing over and over, companies do it all of the time.

This is the reason that they provide a range, the only guarantee that they make you is that they will get it to you by the end of the shipping range. They know that within their schedule for the rMBP there are only a few combinations of what can really be ordered that has an effect on the internals ... 3 processors x 2 ram x 3 HD options ... there are 14 combinations (3*2*3)-(4 because the 2.6 and 2.7 do not have a 256GB HD).

With 14 options, and the fact that they provide a 7 day range, they could only build 2 different combinations each day.

I would have thought that for this kind of product they would do JIT production where they would produce exactly the machines ordered. Just like the motor industry where you can have a blue 3-door 2 litre on the production line followed by a white 5-door 1.6 litre followed by a black ... etc

Plus, if it was run the way you suggest then that implies that they must have combinations for 3-4 weekers that they have no 2-3 weeker orders for and I'm sure I've seen people with 3-4 week shipping who've been shipped when they've ordered the same spec as me - 2.6/16/512 - who's on 2-3 weeks

Is that on a specific model, mate? I paid via EDU discount but don't remember seeing anything to do with an extended warranty? Do you have a link??

Thanks

 

[midtownhd]

had no idea that apple stores carry customized versions.
which city was it?

Not quite. I figured paying for it was a given. I'm just saying that I never tracked any airplanes or ordered in the dark of night. Just wandered into the Apple store to get a replacement for my dead Time Capsule. Asked for a 8/512 model retina and was immediately served by the cutest darn little blonde you ever saw. Hot man.! She was way more exciting than the retina. Heck I might go back and buy something else.

 

[Kasakolt]

I wonder if my MBP 13'(BTO), as a 2-3 weeker (order 06.15) (10-16jul) will be preparing for shipment by the end of the week.
I'm from Brazil btw.. Just saying, here MBPR starts from $5.000,00.

 

[J.L.Photography]

1) has anyone who ordered on the 12th had their retina shipped yet?

2) how do you find the time you placed your order?

I think its only for the Higher education edu store but if you went via that store theres a link right at the bottom of the store page 'Terms and Conditions of Sale' which specifies ' 36 calendar month warranty' for HE purchases.

If you live in San Francisco and looking for a base model RMBP, they have been getting them in almost daily. I just got back from the store and they said they had 2 in stock of those. The 512GB models have been selling very fast.

They said the demand for base models is very low so that might be a better shot then waiting weeks.

 

[XFactorer]

yay. Just got my SuperDrive. No computer, still.

 

[minnus]

I did not update the spreadsheet (though you're more than welcome to add my info).

Ordered the Base retina on Jun 12, 2012 at 9:30 (EST) PM. Just switched to "Preparing for Shipment"

WOOOO

 

[kenskid]

May have seen one or two ship.

I think the only way you will see the time ordered is to look back at your email confirms....

1) has anyone who ordered on the 12th had their retina shipped yet?

2) how do you find the time you placed your order?

I do not know what they do, it's just a possibility, they might also add Country into the mix.

You must understand 1 big thing, that online orders are the lowest priority, you are already considered a captive customer, they have your order and can provide the item in the slowest manner. It is in Apples best interest to make sure that the shelves at stores are full.

Anyone doing an Online order for a stock model, should check their local store, the BTO folks will always have to wait.

Mine is still processing, but I Managed to find a 2.6/512gb model at Best Buy that price matched the student discount

If anyone in North Jersey is interested in buying the 2.3/256gb/16gb RAM which I have on order with Apple (should be delivered late this week or early next week), I am willing to sell it at cost at what I bought it for just to help a fellow MacRumors member out otherwise Ill just cancel it.

Send me a PM if you want.

This laptop is awesome!

Finally....

Cars are no where near JIT production, you cannot order a car and get it tomorrow, they are in a slotted schedule where custom priority orders are put into a standard rotation. All cars made at factories are considered sold to the manufacturer before they build it as it is sold to the dealership. The dealers order models and get certain allocations per week/month by model etc.

2-3 weeks order is now preparing to ship....
