Macbook Pro 2012 Order Status thread (all models)

Fed said:
If you read the Steve Jobs book, you'll discover that early on in Apple days, a significant (to put it lightly) amount of stock was left in warehouses and never sold. He didn't make the mistake again. They have a very good supply chain which would rather see demand out-strip supply. Regardless, I don't think many people expected this launch to be so backlogged. Usually it's just iOS...

IBM had the same issue. Mountains of PS/2's (computers) languishing in warehouses. Dell was the one that had it right from the start. Build on demand. The tractor trailers are backed up to the loading dock but the components for the computers inside those trucks belong to the manufacturer until Dell goes in and offloads them. Technically, Dell has no inventory of system or parts. Very efficient.
 
Nothing for another 6/11er.

Same here. 2.7/16/768 except my confirmation email arrived at 3:33pm CDT. Processing...

Another day, no change either. Confirmation email received at 3:37 CDT on 6/11. Let me guess guys... I bet we are not receiving the MBP early or by the first estimate, right? :rolleyes:
 
Going on 36+ hours stuck on preparing to ship. Was hoping it'd go out this weekend do I'd receive it Tuesday via my expidited shipping. I wonder if I didn't pay for faster shipping if it would have gone out to ship sooner, but received around the same time.

Tuesday will be be 4 weeks since I ordered it, and I was 3-4 week delivery

sigh. another weekend, another lack of order changes. I'm starting to feel very defeated by this whole thing. Mentally, I don't think I can handle very much more waiting. Considering canceling the entire order and just going back to simpler times; like a 13 MBP.
 
Changes do come before you expect them. I wasn't expecting any change for a few days and my 6/19 order suddenly went to shipped on 7/7. Of course, at the moment it's sitting in Shanghai, but that's UPS now.
 
UPDATES during the day... (US)

I'm thinking that US order status doesn't change during the day! We always read status updates in the morning. My imagination? Maybe it will be our turn tomorrow morning.

I'm with you on this! I'm EST and exactly 12 hours behind China. I thought that they run the factory/warehouse 24/7 but I'm guessing that they don't. Has anyone seen status updates come through during US daylight hours?

Hang in there Bud, we're almost through the wait! It will be sooooo worth it!!!!
 
My 2.3/16/256 ordered on 06/18 is still processing...
Est. delivery is 07/17-07/23 so I'm expecting it to ship this week...
I'm getting a bit tired of visiting this thread every day, and looking at my order page ;)
 
Woot!!

International shipment release - Import
MEMPHIS, TN

It only has to make it to Maryland:

Shipment Date: Jul 7, 2012
Estimated delivery: Jul 11, 2012 by 10:30 AM
Come on, baby....
 
So I'm a tad confused. I've seen orders with identical specs and discounts as mine that were ordered later than mine being shipped or prepared to ship while I'm still stuck on processing. What gives? It seems to me that Apple isn't going in any certain order...

It's a common occurrence. I ordered a 2.6/16/512 rMBP on the 13th and saw those who ordered the same exact configuration on the 18th have theirs prepare for shipping / shipped while mine's still processing.

I'm starting to feel the same way. If this thing was upgradable I would go by one of the two models my local stores have in stock. I could live with 512 drive but not 8 of RAM!

After this is over, the 3-5 Week 06/11 Club will need an online reunion (new thread) to compare impressions! In the meantime, if you are from the US, I recommend you enjoy your Sunday away from the computer and be ready for a great surprise tomorrow morning!

AppleCare same day, MBPR when it ships.
Click to expand...

For my 06/11 order AppleCare and shipping charge on the same day. On July 5, a hold on my CC for what has to be a system - don't know exact tax. Is this for the 2nd order I placed on July 5 (Plan B) or my original order that they are starting to prepare to build and ship? No idea, as no change in shipping status and no charge to my credit card!

Going to try to enjoy the day and hope to be worrying about how to track flights tomorrow! :)

Still, it just doesn't make sense to me. Why wouldn't they fill the orders in the order in which they were received?

Honestly, I have no idea. At this point I've pretty much stopped caring. I would love to be able to use my rMBP as soon as possible, but I have much more important things to do in my life than to sit around waiting for Apple to ship my computer. They did give me an estimated delivery of 14-21, but I expect them to ship it so I have it in my hands by the 14th. If not, I'll just cancel. It won't really hurt Apple, but at least they won't be making $3000 off of me.

For the sake of a week you've waited this long so why not wait a bit longer?

I respect the fact that we're all anxious to get our machines, and when we initially saw the proposed shipment dates, the reality of how long '4 weeks' really is didn't quite sink in, but I think we should be a bit more critical of our own impatience rather than Apple's failure to deliver a product earlier than the quoted period.

We've all spent a lot of money on an item we're very eager to receive. Having committed ourselves to the purchase, we feel entitled to receive a near flawless item as soon as possible. There's a lot to blame Apple for - their hype machine, the relatively low pay they offer their assembly teams and the occasional quality issues affecting premium products - but I don't know if sticking to a given timeframe qualifies. If your product doesn't arrive by the 21st, you might have some grounds to complain, but just give it another week or so and see how things turn out. Of course, if you decide to cancel your order, I'm sure many on this thread will be happy to encourage you to so they can bump themselves forward a bit further on the waiting list. That said, it's likely there is no 'list' and we're all just going to have to stop stressing. Easier said than done!

Most people on this thread really don't need a lecture! In my opinion if you are dropping 3-4k on a product you have every right to be critical even slightly unreasonable and the buying experience is also important.

Apple make great products but there is no question, online orders get the shaft thats just the way they operate probably because they make so much money at their retail stores.
