To those that have their MacBook Pro retina shipped, how long did it take for preparing for shipment? Thanks:)
 
I ordered the base model 2.3/8/256 on June 23 with the education discount and today status changed to preparing for shipment. About how long does it usually take to change from preparing for shipment to shipped? And how long is transit normally with standard shipping (I am in California if that matters)?

Same here actually. Ordered a second one around the 24th or 25th and it's preparing for shipment now. I assume you'd have it Thursday or Friday at the latest.

Took mine less than a day to go from preparing to shipped.. but a few unlucky members have taken a week!
 
So I went into my local Apple store today to pick up a thunderbolt to ethernet dongle for my rMBP and they said they had the base model in stock (which is the one that is on its way to me now) and so I bought the one they had in the store. I will be receiving my 2.3/8gb/256 rMBP on July 2. If anyone wants to take it off my hands, I am not even going to open the packaging. I will also have the 100$ gift card from the one I bought today. send me a private message if interested..I can overnight it upon request.

Nice! A lot of Aussies seem to have got their orders changed to 'preparing to shipping' today, like myself. How long was yours in 'preparing' for?

Does anyone know, what "requested delivery date" means? Will I get it on Monday?
 
My Retina just arrived in Oakland, scheduled to arrive on Monday in San Diego. The sad thing is, I am a 20 minute drive away from the OAK airport right now. :(

So this is weird. I live in northern Idaho. About 300 miles from Seattle. And they shipped mine to Memphis from Anchorage!

It just departed Memphis about 10 minutes ago. It's slated for a Monday morning delivery. I'm sure it'll get here, but...that seems a right inefficient path for it to be taking.

Good stuff, waiting for an NZ 768 here so happy yours has gone. I ordered some hours after you... Was beginning to worry with all the 768's backing up on the spreadsheet...
