6/17 2.7/512/16 still stuck in processing... I think next week we'll see a lot of movement on orders placed 14th - 20th. Apple credited back my Thunderbolt cable and free expedited shipping when I called to check on things, still had to pay for my superdrive though. Hard to believe Apple still hasn't learned how to prepare for a major product launch......
 
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?

if you're on chrome do command-shift-r my browser kept caching the page. Otherwise sucks man.

They were "prepared" as much as possible. They were going to launch at WWDC and put orders for components in likely months ago. It's not their fault if various OEMs haven't delivered as quickly as expected. Plus, from a marketing perspective, the hype around waiting isn't a bad thing.

I'm no Apple fanboi, but they are supply chain masters. It's silly to call them incompetent or unprepared just because products aren't available immediately after announcement.

I went into best buy and saw the rMBP for the first time. Wow that screen is puurrrty and it has now made my wait time feel longer...

I put the baseline model through a number of stress test and it did a fantastic job, so I can't wait to get my 2.6/16/512 model.

Also the rMBP feels way lighter than the classic MBP, I don't know what people are talking about when they say it's heavy.

My eta is 7/9-7/20 and I have nothing! Totally unfair :-(
 
So if my laptop is on FDX28 like I think, it should be arriving in Anchorage in 10-15 minutes... This is mostly annoying because I'd probably get it tomorrow if it wasn't July 4th haha.
 
Still sitting at this point. Looks like it'll be June 5th for me.
Paid for 2-3 day shipping.
"Delivers between 6/29 and 7/6."

Mine was on the same flight. Over 24 hours and no movement?

I feel your pain. I would've received mine today if it weren't for Canada day on Sunday. Most people got Monday off in lieu of Sunday. Now I wait until tomorrow! This last day seems to be longer than my entire 3+ week wait!
 
Anyone ordered on the 16th of June?
I ordered a 2.6/16GB/512SSD. I'm a 3-4 weeker!

I'm still showing processing, anyone changed to preparing or shipped?

And right on schedule, my tracking just said it arrived in Anchorage 5 minutes ago. So I guess it'll get to Memphis sometime tonight, chill there until a flight to Philly (where I am) early Thursday morning, and then get delivered to me. Or I can hope, anyway...

Ugh, why do there have to be all these holidays right now?! Haha.

Edit: And for anyone else who has a laptop in Anchorage right now, FDX94, which goes from Anchorage to Memphis, departs in about 50 minutes.

Hopefully they get on FDX94, scheduled to depart in about an hour.

Edit: Didn't see your edit.

I feel your pain. I still feel super lucky though after reading everyone else's wait times. I ordered mine on the 24th and it should be to me by the 5th, I can live with that.
