I'm hopeful that all the 3-5 week orders will get theirs some time next week.
It's not fair!!
Sure it is! As long as Apple gets you your computer within the promised delivery window, it's fair. I'm sure there's a method to the madness, but it's senseless trying to figure it out.
Just be patient, and if your delivery window comes and goes and you still have no computer, then pitch a fit.
No, it's actually not fair. Don't know what world you live in, but if two people get in line, I'd expect the one in front to be serviced first (assuming all else equal).
People are entitled babies. Apple needs to get with the picture. Make sure everyone gets their delivery on the last possible day of their window, that way everything is fair(tm)
I'll let everyone get their computer 2 weeks early if it means I get mine 1 week early. People need to grow up.

There is more then one line here bud. Some are express lines for certain products and others are the slow lines. Apple isn't a hardware store.
flawed logic, make sure everyone gets their computers on the same day - the last day of the longest delivery window. then you're bad analogy will be consistent.
----------
actually, they are. there are several lines, but we are only looking at one line. outside of that line, we don't care.
Every one of us knew the estimated shipment duration before we finalized our purchases. While we are being optimistic and hoping for earlier shipments, there is nothing unfair about shipment terms that were made apparent during the transaction.
If you do not like it, cancel your order and get a PC.
Funny. Your's seems to be in the same plane like mine. Update to my previous posting: Landed in Warsaw, Poland, 6:35 pm (18:35) local time according to UPS. The way/stops for European MBPRs: China, Korea, Kazakhstan, Poland. And I guess Amsterdam will be the next.
Talk about moving from not liking something to actually hating the situation your in.
Arrived at FedEx location at 9:52pm in Oakland last night. Guessing that July 6th estimate will probably be right... still kind of wondering why I paid extra for 2-3 days shipping. Even with a Sunday and a holiday factored in that's still more time than what I paid for.
Finally its heading to an end

I'm bound to agree with some of the sentiments on here. This isn't the first time at the races for Apple with a brand new product. But the same thing that always happens with a new product, is again happening with this one. An almost unreasonably long wait time for orders placed the first month the product is available. Have they not learned how to properly control the supply chain to prevent this from happening?
I understand the arguments about there being an extreme level of demand for this MacBook Pro with Retina Display. I also realize that Apple is doing everything it can to get these orders out as fast as possible. I think the problem started when they announced that it'd be shipping "Today" during the keynote. Today really means 3-5 weeks from that day.
I think they've started doing this kind of thing as a matter of practice. They realize they can't fulfill all the orders in a reasonable time-frame. But they also realize that people are willing to put up with it. As demonstrated by people like myself that ordered one, and everyone else on this thread. It's sort of borderline bad business to make people wanting your products wait up to a month for said products. But they can get away with it, and will continue to do so.

I ordered mine on 06/26 and it is 2.6/16/512 (going to Poland, Europe) by telephone from AOS. Apple website says that I'm in 3-4 week window with estimated delivery on 07/30 - 08/03 but the Apple rep. I was talking on the phone while placing the order told it can even take up to 5-6 weeks (!) I don't know what would be more accurate - data on the website or what I was said by the rep.? From what I read here on the forums a lot of people are getting some gift cards and other nice acts of good will like superdrives ... is it happening in the US only or someone from Europe got anything free from Apple due to delays in shipping?
You get a $100 Mac App Store gift card if you're a student/teacher and order from the Apple Online Education Store. It's not a gesture of good will. The free SuperDrives and stuff seem to be given to people that were amongst the first to order and have yet to receive their machines-- only if you call up Apple and complain enough.
I called and kind of "complained" more about people ordering later and getting their machines before me, but my order is still within the window of being on time, so it wasn't good enough of a complaint. Not even reimbursed "rushed/expedited" shipping $15 that I paid. B
Oh well
