Finally!!!

Was very hopeful when I saw the last page or so of updates about four hours ago, so many "Preparing for Shipments", but mine was still "Processing" . . . however just checked 5 min. ago and it is FINALLY Preparing for Shipment!!

Ordered: June 16
2.6/16/512

Hopefully I have it in my hands a week from today! (Standard shipping to Great Falls, Montana.)

Best of luck to all the rest of you.
 
Ordered: 6/16 @5PM
Went to: "Preparing for shipment..." 7/10 @1AM
Config: 2.3/16/256 EDU

Finally, I'm that much closer to getting it into my hands! :D
 
Hi all,

Gratz to all you lucky ones that already received your rMBP's

Ordered mine @22 jun expected delivery 24 - 30 jul....
config: 2.3/265/8gb
Status: Still processing :(

Too all you who are still waiting, i feel your pain....
Gl.
 
On the way at last!

Thanks! How long has your wait been so far?

I ordered mine on June 11 @ 4:30 EST (about 1.5 hours after the store opened). Good news though, it just moved to "shipped" last night at 12:36 EST and has an expected arrival date of Jul 12, 10:30 am! Unfortunately I've got class all day until 5 that night, but hopefully time will pass quickly!
 
Movement!

June 17th EDU order: 2.6/16/512

Just went Preparing For Shipment! (within the last 2 hours) Finally :) Hopefully I won't wait long for the status to change to Shipped.

I feel you man! Can't wait for the SHIPPED email.

Mine shipped! Email came in at 1:07 CDT and it looks like it will be here Thursday. Going to see if a plane left for the US during the night!

Between 4 and 6 pm ct today. I was pure excitement for 30 seconds and then reflexively, back to dammit, how long will it be preparing... Ha! Still so excited

My preparing was less than 24 hours! Mine is on its way. Can't wait!

I have the same times and was curious as well.

You can check out http://www.flightstats.com/ and use the flight tracker

flight airline - FX
departure airport - (PVG) Pu Dong Airport

oddly the flight seems to be going to Memphis? thought all apple orders shipped Shanghai to Anchorage.

Final destination for my order is Toronto.

This is great! Thanks! If I'm correct, my computer is on FX28 leaving PVG in about 1.5 hrs and heading to Alaska. Will check after 8:00 CDT to see if it departed? Looks like my 2.7/16/768 is on its way!
 
Ordered 6/17, 2.3/16/256 with an EDU discount, FINALLY went to "preparing for shipment."

How long does it normally take for it to go from preparing to actually shipped?
 
I just went to preparing for shipment, i am a 6/16 order 2.6/16/512. Though i had to call my credit card company this morning to allow the purchase because they thought it was fraud.
 
Ordered on 6/11 within hours of the store going online. 2.6 Ghz, 16GB RAM, 768GB SSD, shipping to Texas with 2-3 day shipping. Was immediately placed in the 3-5 weeks waiting period (7/9-7/20). Has been in processing ever since. This morning at around 4am CDT my debit card was charged the full amount while still showing as processing. Here's to hoping it gets here asap, though any info about how long it usually takes to ship after getting charged the full amount would be helpful while waiting. :)

Just an update on this. I checked my order status almost nonstop yesterday and it was still listed as Processing. When I woke up this morning, the status was Preparing for Shipment. It looks as if this status change happened about 24 hours after my card was charged (both of which happened on a business day). The charge in my bank account is still listed as Processing. With any luck it'll ship equally as soon and hopefully arrive before the end of the week. :)

Similar experience! I, also, live in Texas! Went to Preparing around this time yesterday morning. Last night around 1:00 am I got the shipping notification and, if all goes well, it should be on a plane to anchorage in about 30 minutes and here on Thursday. So, if your computer follows the same pattern, yours may be with you by Friday! Good luck!

I ordered on 6/11 - see config in signature!
 
Congrats! It looks like apple finally fulfilled every single 768 order June 12 through now ;)

Uh no...
2.7 / 16 / 768 ordered June 12th still processing for me... and no credit card charges yet. I have had this external superdrive and extra charger on my desk for 3 weeks now...
 
I have the same configuration ordered on the same date! I'm really hoping to be greeted by that news soon! Congrats. =)

I think I really lucked out with mine as it seems like they're still working on 15-18's... But I really hope yours ships soon! :)

----------

Yay! Changed to Prepared within the last hour. Now the wait continues to Shipped status. :)

I'm waiting for this as well. How long has yours been stuck on Preparing? Mine has been just over 12 hours. Can't wait! I'm really really hoping it ships soon so I can get it before the weekend! :)
 
I ordered the 512/2.6/16 on 6/26 w/ an estimate of 7/25-7/31

seems like its taking forever, especially after spending $3,600
 
Doesn't seem that many June 19th orders have gotten processed yet, right? I ordered a 2.6/16/512 and is expected to arrive between 17 and 23. I haven't seen any charge on my credit card either :confused:

whats crazy is when I called in last week, the guy mentioned that someone who ordered on 6/24 (two days before me) was shipping out the day I called..

I wonder if he was full of crap..
 
I wonder if everybody that is preparing for shipment now that needs to be sent to the US will be on the same shipment and is waiting for that shipment to get full before sending?

They are probably waiting on the Fedex pickup, which only picks up 1-2 times a day(Most companies 1, Foxconn perhaps more)
