I hope it ships soon as the wait must be agonising specially seeing others getting theirs before you when they ordered after you.

So much for first come first serve basis for shipping out orders.

Thanks,this is my first apple computer and so far its not been a good experience.im sure all will be forgiven when i get it though.


I should have done one of those " photo a day " things to show how ive aged during the processing hell

Good luck with your order,i hope its not hitching a lift on an elderly,disabled snails back like mine is.

I ordered mine on the 2nd so got a long wait but trying to be as patient as I can be.
 
Looks like 6/16 BTO orders are mostly shipping now. Getting better and better. I expect my 7/2 order will probably ship in 7-10 days. I'm thinking closer to 7 days. Orders will most definitely be tapering off from the 16th-ish, so we should see orders being gone through faster.
 
Just wondering, have any June 19th orders get shipped or prepared yet? I ordered a rMBP 2.6/16/512. I live in Chicago USA. Any info would be great. So tired of seeing processing. Also do you think I can somehow bitch enough to get the super drive for free?

Thanks.... Going to go press refresh on my order page....:(

June 23 is the latest bona fide confirmed order of which I am aware. Pure bitching is unlikely to get you anything if you are a June 19th-er, however, so I might give up that ghost.
 
mine went from china to germany overnight, but it's now saying it's in Kazakhstan LOL (ultimate rmbp going to France)
Air travel is weird :p
Apple saying it's tuesday delivery and ups wednesday...
What day do you think it will be ?
 
Ordered rMBP 2.6/16/768 on 6/15 4pm, estimated delivery to California July 16-20. Still at "processing".

Exactly the same date as me, and exactly the same specs. I don't have an estimated date as it's a business CTO, so fingers crossed I can at least get it on July 16 :( Lucky for me, I'm in Singapore, so shipping should take a day/two

Thats wishful thinking, the apple store page still states a 3-4 week wait time, if there had been a huge fall off in demand it would have gone down.

Also dont forget that some (probably a lot) of capacity will be taken up producing stock for stores.

6/16 BTO here, still processing :mad::mad::mad:
 
Seriously, am I the only non-768SSD guy who has been skipped over? I ordered a 2.6/16/512 config on the 13th and people who've ordered the same config a week later are getting theirs shipped while I'm stuck at processing. At this point I would be happy if I can actually get mine by the 14th.
 
11/6 768er still processing. Surprising since the delivery window starts at 9/7, in just 3 days. Trying to be patient till then before I resolve to escalating my complaint.

I know that Apple has projected a pretty wide estimated delivery range for everyone, but I think it is safe to say that they just added an extra week just to play it safe (in case a major problem had occurred at the factory). That is fine and everything, but virtually everyone who has had their systems shipped to them have been receiving it a few days before, or on the earliest projected delivery date. Heck, some people are even having theirs shipped to them 2 weeks before that.

If you don't get your rMBP by the 9th, I would seriously raise hell. You know that there would be no excuse because others who've ordered the same config 5-6 later have gotten theirs shipped. As for me, I will be giving them a call if the processing status still remains on the 11th.

Edit: Those of you who would say that I should calm down because technically, Apple has until the 21st to get me my system, I would be willing to accept that if they hadn't shipped out rMBPs with the same configuration as mine to others who placed their orders 5-6 days after I did.
 
Mine went from Processing to prepping for shipment yesterday and today its in shipped status. I'm hoping to get it by Tuesday :D
 
I ordered my rMBP on 6/17 and my status was updated to Preparing for Shipment sometime between 10PM Eastern last night and 6AM this morning.

2.6/16/512

Thunderbolt to Ethernet Adapter

I guess now the waiting REALLY starts to begin :rolleyes:

I feel the same exact way. I'm fine with waiting for the estimated delivery date, but am not with the unfairness of having others who ordered days after we did receive their units. Called Apple about this and while they were adamant that this wasn't happening, they stated that nothing would be done on their end if it was shown to be the case. Seems that all they care about at the moment is that all units are sold/shipped, and not the order in which they are.
 
Tracking

Hi there, UK edu order here.

currently being shipped to me but many people on this forum have been able to track its physical location. The data I have been provided is very basic.

Carrier Name
Syncreon Technology
Delivers By
13/07/2012

In Transit to Customer - Shipment on Schedule

My tracking doesn't appear to be provided by UPS/Fed-ex.

Not that it's essential I see where the location of my item is... I just would like to see its journey/if it gets held up!
 
6/11 order checking in! 2.7/16/768 No change still processing! I just can't believe it!

is someone keeping a log of those in this endless loop? I think some on the spreadsheet are not actual orders or their names were changed.

In your shipping confirmation e-mail you will have been given a delivery reference number starting with 8. Enter that number here: http://expo.expeditors.com to get your progress.

You won't get the UPS/Fed-ex tracking until it is delivered to Apple in the UK (probably on Monday) which will show as "Requested Delivery Date" on the above website.
 
Got it one hour ago (1:08 pm CEST/MESZ)! MBPR 2.3/16. Ordered 6/13 via local online Apple Store (estimated delivery 3-4 weeks). My UPS Tracking Details.

It's a beast! Got some updates (1.2 GB) and had to restart: Unbelievable QUICK! And as silent as an iPad. My previous MBP was/is a 15" mid 2007 (matte, the first one with LED backlit).

I have iPhone 4 and iPad 3rd gen. so I know Retina displays. But this one is even better. What a brilliance! No problems with reflections here at my main working space. MacRumors please update your forum editor's icons because they are looking really retro. ;-) TIA! Sound and speakers are MUCH better than my old MBP.

I hope all of you'll get your machine as soon as possible. No matter how long you'll have to wait: You'll be more than compensated as soon as you have this baby in your hands.

Tried it for 60 min: The best computer I've ever had so far.
