Just called Apple, said the SuperDrive rumor was false (I don't know about that...) but the man was kind enough to upgrade me to next day shipping. I ordered on the 15th and my eta was 16-20 now its 11-17. BUT STILL PROCESSING! should be changing soon though. just wanted to share my experience with anyone interested.
Got a tip for us?

Macbook Pro 2012 Order Status thread (all models)

sorry, did not check the thread since yesterday morning due to having too much fun for the 4th of july.
came into work this morning and my "mail-order bride" came in! woohoo!
however, i have too much work to do and i'm afraid if i open it, i won't be able to get any work done.
so i will have to just wait until i get home tonight to open it.
fizzwinkus, just got your private message about my order number to investigate the issue. i'll send it to you. wish you luck!
I enjoy photography as a hobby and I'm a Nikon guy. I definitely have to say the D800 is more drool worthy to me than the rMBP. Lol. Did you pick up the D4?
Several 6/15 ordered started moving today. I have a 2.7/16/512 model that is preparing to ship as of today. Unless you ordered a 768gb SSD, you should be shipping soon!
Our own 6/11 thread?
Do you think we should have our own thread, without the moderator merging into this one? At this point, I think the 6/11 group is dealing with a whole different situation, different than the general "status" thread.
What is driving me suspicious is that most people are getting their laptops earlier than the estimates. We are already beyond that threshold. It makes me feel that we are stuck.

I know exactly what you mean. I had just enough in my budget to either go for a D800 or a rMBP, and I had to go for the rMBP seeing those ridiculous wait times. And as luck would have it, today is the 20th day of wait for my rMBP
I ordered on the 16th too! 2.6/16/512. Still processing...... I'm hoping sometime soon
My last tracking update is still

ANCHORAGE, AK
So I'm hoping that the tracking just got messed up because of July 4th. Otherwise, that plane must have a lot of fuel to still be flying.
I was in the same boat as you, but mine changed:

Question
I just checked my bank account, and found that Apple has charged me for my rMBP, which is good news! But, I check my online order status and it still says 'Processing Items'. What gives? Anybody had this happen before? Are they just a little slow to update the order status? I am looking for this whole ordeal to be over soon and playing with my rMBP.
EDIT: Just moved to 'Preparing for Shipment'! Ordered on 6/15 at 10am CDT, 2.3/16/256. Status change at 2:15pm CDT, July 5th.

Interesting. That sucks though. Mine still hasn't updated, but I'll keep checking it closely to see if it does.
Fizzwinkus keep us posted on your findings because im in the same boat as you
2.7/16/756 ordered the 11th
The D4 arrived...after 4 and a half months. As bad as that sounds, I know the wait time for the D800 is even longer (and EVEN LONGER if you want the D800E).
The D4 is quite nice, considering I am coming from a D2x.
Haven't played with a D800/E, but I hear the image quality is insanity. Should pair nicely with a Retina MacBook Pro (all those pixels!)

I hear ya. I think regardless of what camera you shoot with, Aperture tweaked for the Retina Display will be amazing. I played with the rMBP at an Apple Store nearby, but the Retina-specific Aperture version wasn't installed!!
Anyone care to comment on how it performs?
PREPARING FOR SHIPMENT!
Now to find the latest version of how to put stuff in the spreadsheet...

Called Apple asking about the update and why people that ordered on the 12th (same config, US based) received theirs while we were still waiting. Mentioned that the June 11th orders were quoted 3-5 weeks and June 12th 2-3 weeks. The rep admitted that there was an issue with the ordering system and a follow up email would be sent with a more accurate date of delivery (though it doesn't change the fact that we weren't thrown into the queue when we actually made our orders). Asked how Apple would make up for this 'mistake' and she stepped away for a few minutes to talk to her manager. Came back with nothing
Woohoo!
2.6/512 UK edu. Ordered on 17th June went to preparing to ship and has now been shipped today!
Eta is revised from 17th July - 23rd July to 13th at the latest. Eeeeeeeee!

Everyone whos spending all their hard earned cash on one of these is entitled to their own opinion (unless you are going to buy us all one
).The point is you buy a premium product, you expect a certain level of service. Its all about the experience and this one didn't tick any boxes for me, worst product release I can remember.
You only have to look at how many people have actually got their laptops. 5 days worth of orders have been fulfilled (actually not even that! thats optimistic) after 3.5 weeks. At this rate it WILL take a very long time for you to get your order.
I would not be surprised if they miss their estimated delivery times for some people.

So, what did they mean about an email with a "more accurate date of delivery." Does that mean they are going to push us out even further?
Seems like you are in the get something for free zone.
What is your delivery estimate?
So when I called to ask a question about my order they wanted me to provide my name and billing address before they would give me info about my own order. So, I'm not quite sure how they technically can tell you over the phone "I'm looking at Paul's order and you're right about his shipping date". Imagine the lawsuits waiting to happen if customers were able to call in and find out when OTHER PEOPLE'S orders were made and shipped. Honestly, I'm completely dumbfounded that people think Apple should do whatever the customer wants. I know if I found out Apple was just giving out any bit of info about me there would be hell to pay.
The expectations of customers these days is getting more and more ridiculous. What's next? You want Tim Cook's home phone number so you can have a one on one with him about this? Cuz Apple owes that to everybody even though they've been shipping within or earlier than their original quoted delivery times, right??
Anyone else have one sitting idle in Anchorage right now ? My 2.6/16/512 shipped from China on the 3rd and appears to have cleared customs on July 4, but nothing since then. As of now, it still says it will be delivered tomorrow (Scottsdale, AZ). I guess I will call FedEx tonight for an update if the tracking doesn't show any progress.
This was a CTO order placed on the 14th btw.

That's what I took it to mean, but not being a mind reader, I could only sigh and wait for that email. Nothing yet.
