Another bad day for a 768-er from the 11th. The dammed 3-5 week group. Still processing. People are getting their laptops more than a week before their estimates. Well, that's not for us.

Same here! I think you guys should just keep calling Apple.

I've pretty much lost all hope that I'd get it before the estimated window. Mine says July 9th - 20th. Which means I shouldn't expect any change until Thursday at the earliest.
 
Mine says tomorrow before noon but I was hoping for today. You still didn't get your card? I got my SuperDrive and card sitting on my desk taunting me for a couple of weeks now, haha. Just called FedEx and the guy said that the "IN TRANSIT" is normal to be stuck this long, said it should be out for delivery tomorrow, try calling them and asking when yours will be out, maybe they'll confirm that it's today :confused:

Did chat with Fedex:
REP : package for ____________ EDMONTON, AB delivery will be tomorrow by 1700
Me: Tracking says july 3rd.
REP : ok this was only cleared from customs today in MIssissauga, delivery tomorrow by 1700

Basically a big **** you from fedex....

I think they didn't count the day off in the estimate :( Just hope to get mine tomorrow, if it cleared customs, shouldn't it say so in the tracking info? Guy on phone said it was still in transit, which I don't believe.

I have no idea thats what the chat rep said? Im kinda pissed about this especially since I'm supposed to leave tomorrow. I needed to get it all loaded up with software ect.. Delivery date should be the date or before I know it says estimated but grrrr.
 
Hi folks, your neighbourhood 11/768er here, still in processing... This is about long enough for the buyers remorse to sink in.

I'd have waited for the Haswell's myself had it not been for the change in weight and thickness, since this laptop spends half the day on my shoulder it was a welcome relief to know that they've cut those back.

But boy, does the premise of just buying an Air or another ultra book as a stop gap and waiting for Haswell's to come out next year sound nice to me right now.

That said, I really hope the seeming slow down in the factory over the last few days is them doing a quick supply side correction of the ghosting monitors in order to avoid a potential recall.... *Wishful thinking*
 
Haswell might be ready before we get our rMbp.

Try waiting 5 months for my Nikon D4...

But in all seriousness, still waiting for my 2.7/16/768 as well. Looking forward to playing with it and having a computer newer than 5 years old in the house.
 
-- Estimate Delivery is July 4 (if not for Canada day, I might have it on July 3)

email from APPLE - I just received an email from APPLE that my order was successfully updated and your changes are reflected below. If you
requested additional changes,you will receive a separate email confirmation for
each.

Could this be because I called? I just checked the order page and no changes!

:(


Did you check if the shipping method changed?


Same here.

I asked this before, and I'm sure no one knows the answer. But here it goes anyway: Does anyone have any ideas why the delivery estimates for the 768 were in flux in the first couple of days? Why did they start at 3-5 weeks and then go down to 2-3 weeks? Why did Apple suddenly (and incorrectly) think it could satisfy demand in 2-3 weeks when just hours earlier it started at 3-5 weeks?

At this point I am afraid we are stuck on a glitch. Did you see the spreadsheet? It it horrible for the 768/early 11th.
 
Maybe, stupid apple. Maybe I should just screw the 16GB ram upgrade.
Most stores seem to have the 2.3/8/256 and 2.6/8/512 models in stock, from what I can tell. If you're tired of waiting and aren't doing anything really crazy with the machine (video editing or whatever), I'd just cancel and pick one up in a store with 8GB of RAM.

Of course, I went to a store last Friday just to see if they had any (they did). In the morning I could still cancel my order. I get to the store at like 2pm and by then my order changed to Processing and I couldn't cancel it. So hopefully you'll be luckier than I was LOL.
 
so apple do orders according to date of order or estimated delivery date(ex:16/7/12-20/7/12) ?

For the record, I have a stock 2.3/8/256 on order from the 15th, and I'm still waiting. I'm not sure placing an order for a 8 GB stock model would decrease your order waiting time. If you're going to get an 8 GB, I'd start stalking the Apple Stores.
 
My rMBP has apparently been in transit from Memphis since 6:56 PM on July 1 - does anyone have any idea what's up with that?

Do you happen to be in edmonton? lol I have the exact same tracking info, or close. I was told it went through customs today, and will get it tomorrow by 5. Estimate was for today.

EDIT: it is the same time stamps.

Winnipeg, actually! But that would make sense - I was hoping for it today, but I can survive the extra day.
