comments: Cancelled prior item on June 25th, changed model to 2.6/16/512. Put at the back of the line for a "do-over"! Really unfortunate.

I just notice this. You ordered TWO!?!? :eek: but then I notice you up the HD size haha.
 
Don't move this post haha but of the people who got their retina today, is anyone seeing ghosting? I'm going to be really in a fit if mine has ghosting
 
DELIVERED. Apple said 7/2 to 7/9 delivery. The hit the first day of estimate. June 12 order.

Upgraded to expedited shipping.

<ordered on the 20th, so still a ways to go until it flips to Preparing>
 
I'm almost done... Mine arrived at my local Fedex at 7:42 AM today, and every other import I get that arrives before 9am gets to me the same day once its at that facility. So I'm sure I'll get this one too today.

So not only not the 19th that they originally said, but not the 3rd they told me when they shipped. But the 2nd. Not bad.
 
I guess that came off a little strong. I'm a very chill guy I promise. It's just that when I order something and am told that it will be there on a specific day, it should be there. It really scares me though that they has no idea where a $2500 package is. I understand that is nothing compared to some business shipments but this is a pretty big investment for myself at least.

Me personally, I've always had good service with UPS. I've never had a problem at all.

When you go somewhere to pick up your package and instead of getting handed your laptop, a guy comes out and says, "umm... Yea, I called all over the US and your guess is as good as mine as to the location of your package" you start to freak out a bit.

Mee too.. but you are right $2500 is not small change, however to be fair Fedex/UPS/ANYONE else a package is a package in some degree. I personally do not like UPS because of certain business practice/fraud like behavior so I choose to do my business elsewhere. ANyway.. hope your rMBP finds you sooner rather then later.

The bottom line is you have nothing to worry about. If it really got lost, either Apple or FedEx will take care of it. It will be a bit of a hassle and it might delay getting the computer a bit, but you don't need to worry about your $2500.

You also have to take what the FedEx staff say with a grain of salt -- calling "all around the country" probably just means calling the main operations line and maybe calling the last known location.
 
Now changed to Shipped. So how do I track flight from China to UK?

Don't know flight no and tracking details not so informative. Any ideas peeps.

I'm like a freaking child at x-mas now. In the 3-4 week bunch but now says delivery est. 9th.

I would be too if that was said to me. Did your tracking info say

----Held at FedEx location for recipient pickup
??
 
Has anyone had issue with the pre sign? FedEx didn't leave it at my door even though I had the pre sign form taped to my door. Said I wasn't home.. So flippin pissed..
 
Damn, I don't know where my rMBP is.
I have no tracking numbers and exp.o doesn't find my order.
Should I call Apple or just wait?
 
Its 853 and it hasn't left the local station. Estimated date is tomorrow so I hope it doesn't just sit there until tomorrow!! Would this happen??

Got on truck... never mind :)
 
Yay! Just over 12 hours after getting the 'Preparing for Shippment' status mine has changed to 'Shipped' - UK order from 14th, see signature for details!
