Bad news

How is this possible? I ordered the same thing on June 11th and it is still processing...

I am sorry to break the news to you, but you are part of a select group of people who ordered soon after the announcement, just to get stuck in the processing phase. No good news for us. It really sucks.
 

Me Three...I have called twice...and they say it will be delivered for sure by the 20th! I just can't understand the skip in orders. Its like a digital order purgatory :mad:

I am just looking at it like this...the more they assemble in that configuration, the farther away I may be from first run defects...silver lining for a few more days then I'm going in hot

I'm seeing the same thing. Hope it doesn't delay delivery!
 
This prompted me to check my order status one more time, as I'm in the exact same boat (2.7 / 16GB / 768GB, ordered on the 18th). Sure enough, it's finally preparing for shipment :D

I ordered the same configuration on 6/11 and it's still Processing. Everyone I've contacted at Apple either doesn't believe these later orders are shipping first or they don't care. What a way to reward customers who spend almost $4,000 immediately after a product announcement.

FINALLY! Just went to "Preparing for Shipment" within the past hour.

SLAP MY DRUNK GRADMA BOYS!!!!

2.7/16/768 ordered June 11 Preparing for Shipment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YEA BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here's one to Apple...Cheers boys!
 
That's not even close to true. We've seen them move from 6/15 to 6/17 all in a day. A vast majority of orders were front loaded. No way there's as many orders from 6/17-6/21 as 6/11-6/16.

If you have been following this thread there was no forward movement (date wise) until late in the week, so yes it is in fact true! I think you are forgetting that the dates moved forward but it then takes a while to clear out the orders, then they move on to the next batch.

I'm being realistic not just blindly optimistic. 768rs going out now too so seems like a lot of orders to shift. I would be surprised if 18/19-21 moves earlier than tue/wed next week. If i'm wrong i'll eat my words, but if you're wrong (more than likely) you can eat yours ;).

It's nice to see that some of these are finally getting shipped out! I'm hoping mine will be here sometime before the estimated date due to this.

Congrats! :)
 
For reference I placed my order at about 2:20 PM PST June 11. Everyone in the June 11 3-5 group should be getting their notices very very soon. Finally guys! I just got back from a concert, granted a little drunk, but this is the best news all day! Sweet 15" big picture baby!!!!!!!!!!!
 
2.3/16GB/256 GB

Bought on June 18th, and is now SHIPPED!

The estimated time in the beginning was July 19th-24th, but on the UPS tracker it estimates around the 17th.
 
For those of you who are buying a display to go with your new MBP, there's a great price on 27" Thunderbolt Displays at JR.com right now:

$940 plus:
- no tax for most of the country
- free shipping
- save an extra $15 with promo code JULY4
- Get 2.5% cash back with eBates for Fatwallet fatcash

That's $902 shipped! Best I could find anywhere, including the Apple Educational Pricing.

(I'm not sure if the MagSafe 2 adapters will be included in these boxes since they're not shipping directly from Apple, so I spent another $9.99 and ordered one)
 
:eek: Have just found a dead pixel (yeah... just one) on my RMBP! I know that there are like 5 million of them, but still it will annoy me since I know know that it is there. It is located in the middle of the status bar, so I notice it quite a bit! I had a few questions for anybody here who has had a similar problem:

1) If I take it back to Apple, are they likely to accept the return since I only have 1 dead pixel (so far that I can see anyway!)
2) Am I likely to receive a replacement sooner than the time it originally took to get here?
3) Would I be allowed to keep this one until the new one arrives? - My now old 2011 MBP's hard drive failed yesterday - so I can no longer really use it! :mad:

Long post I know - but thanks for any help/suggestions that you can give me! :)
 
Dude...come on man. It's one pixel. I wouldnt sweat it.

I think you have 14 days (might be 7 one of the two) for a no questions ask refund.
