ha...some guy in China screwing with the knobs!

WTF! Just checked the shipment status page, and the ETA date had been updated from 7/11 to 7/2. Imagine my surprise when I check back 5 minutes later and its back to the 7/11 date... Whats up with that??? :mad:

I dont like the way that sounds.


Ordered at 12:30 PM EST on 6/12 and have been in "preparing for shipment" since 5:15 PM EST on Monday. Let me see that baby!!!
 
Heck yes...my 06/12 order @ 14:00PDT for rMBP 2.3/16/256 just went to Preparing for Shipment.

Commence partying.

Do we have any indication on when B&H will receive their BTO models? I need a 2.3Ghz 16GB 256GB model by the 13th at the latest, ordered from B&H on the 20th. The guy there said he's really confident they'll ship by the 10th, but this thread is starting to make we wonder?

Anyone have an idea on how I could get that model by the 13th for sure?
 
First time poster.....long time lurker....well,since the 13th! Tried to order on launch day but bank card was declined due to a block on my card which didnt let me spend so much in one go as a fraud precaution.Didnt get it sorted until the 13th,by then the 3-4 weeks estimate had kicked in.:(

Still on " processing items"

I have never pressed "refresh" so much in my life.
 
How did you buy a rMBP for under 2k?

I have no idea how they got one at 1850, but I know my Professional Photographers of American discount got me $250 off. I guess there's one that gives you $350 and they got a base model. *shrugs*

Or, maybe they got a regular pro.

Disagree 100%. As someone who has bought and sold nearly every MBP model and a bunch of PowerBooks before that, the best resale value (measured as a percent) is preserved by going with the low-end stock configurations. The reason is very simple: dilution. When people are looking at used machines, one above-average spec doesn't count for a lot when all the other specs (CPU, GPU, etc.) are X generations out of date.

Interesting analysis. Would you say it somewhat depends on *when* you sell? I can see what you're saying being the case when it's 3-5 years down the road, but in 18-24 months you still think it isn't a benefit?

Also, would you say that it at least keeps ~$200 in value or at least close to that?
 
Welcome Pinky....please move to the back of the line and suffer....my June 12th order went to processing for shipping this morning.

Ha LOL...still suffering huh !? I've seen some say it went to shipping in a few hours...ive seen others are still waiting for 72 HOURS

How long on average can we expect to be under " prepping"?
 
My macbook pro is stuck at some random facility! Its already here why wont they just put it on their trucks and deliver it to me already!!!!! I have been waiting since 11th june!
 
If you would have ordered via Apple store, we could get you a REALLy good idea of when you would have it....we are pretty much EXPERTS at it now !

I'd say if you ordered on the 20th...unless BH has some GREAT agreement with Apple...It may be hard to see that machine by the 13th.

I do business with BH myself...they are a very good company and I'd say you should take their word for it.

Getting excited. My turn must be coming soon. I'm one of the last orders from the 12 th. probably the first group of 3-4weekers. :)
 
I ordered on the first day (was the 12th here in Australia) still no activity what-so-ever. Called Apple twice, just told me to wait. It's due on Monday but there's no chance of it getting here now since it hasn't even begun preparing and there's no charge on the card. This is my first Macbook and so far it's been really underwhelming... I'm really bored Apple.

Stock base model.
 
Ordered my non-retina 2012 MBP w/ Anti Glare. Now prepared for shipping. I know this isn't exciting for anyone else due to the high demand for the retina's, but hey, I'm excited.
