Update on my 6/11 order

Finally shipped. Got an email from Apple Saturday morning at 10ish central time. Missed FedEx cutoff and finally hit the air today. Estimated delivery July 6th by 10:30am.

2.6/8/512 ordered at 8:15 PM Central.(Minneapolis)
Went to preparing on 6/25.
Ship notification 6/30
Flew out of Shanghai 7/2/11 at 12:37AM.

Seems like the ultimates and stock 2.6 systems are the last to ship. Another reason I should have went with 16 GB.

At least its on the way.

That's really weird... if it was a flight they should have scanned it at the Ontario sort facility a few hours later. Either it somehow didn't get scanned or maybe it's on a truck? Curious to see where your next scan is...

I'm thinking it would be sent to LAX by plain. As stated before, I paid and never asked for a refund on expedited shipping that guarantees a 2-3 day delivery from the date it is sent out. I would be shocked if my package was put on a truck for a 1800 mile drive.
 
Mine with the Shipping Exception is still sitting in Shanghai. So I'm not getting it until Thursday at the earliest. Great.
 
Same here. Probably due to the economy shipping and not priority.
Yeah, definitely thinking that's the case. Curious why we both got economy shipping though. When did you order? I ordered the 23rd, so I think that it's people who ordered before a certain date all got priority shipping.

I ordered on the 23rd also.
 
anybody knows if there is any plan coming from Newark to Boston today or tomorrow?
Mine stuck in newark for more than 12hrs now :(
 
I suspect FedEx will start loading trucks soon from their sorting facilities.

It has been a long weekend knowing my rMBP is down the road and I couldn't do anything.

This is a good example of why I never use UPS to send things out. I really can't stand UPS.

I'm sorta of the opposite, at least when it comes to actually doing the shipping. I find UPS to be more reliable and cheaper (domestic packages), and there's a reason for this. UPS is a consolidated company while FedEx is really an intricate network of subcontractors and franchises.

With that said, it's shaping up that mine may come a day early. It JUST landed at my local hub and it is scheduled for Tuesday delivery. The only thing that could delay it at this point is a mandatory you're-not-scheduled-for-delivery-today hold, which happens sometimes.

Mine departed Memphis at 4:40 pm on Friday and hasn't updated since. It's supposed to be delivered tomorrow by 10:30 am, but i'm getting a little nervous now.

I need some sympathy. I dropped by a local Apple store after a show this afternoon and the guy at the door said that he hasn't seen the rMBP 2.7 w/ 16GB RAM - so I roamed the store and then was purchasing the MagSafe convertor. I noticed the guy ringing me up was a manger so I asked him about the same computer. He did some checking and then came back to tell me that they had one unit they sold an hour ago! I am so bummed - if I had stopped at the store on my way to the theatre I would be a proud owner and canceling my online order. Lesson learned - don't believe the guy at the door! Now I keep watching my online order! :-( July 9 can't come soon enough!
