My laptop is in Anchorage as well, as of 3:05pm local time. Go little laptop go.
 
Yeah I've been posting the same. Mine is still in transit from Anchorage as of 25 hours ago.



Did your FedEx tracking info update to 'out for delivery' before you received your package?

It didn't actually. It was weird, it showed up as 'delivery exception - missed truck.' So I called, and asked if I could go get it, and they said no - they put it on another truck and it'd be at the designated Kinko's as per my hold instructions by 5p today. Around 3p I'm here at home and the doorbell rings - FedEx man with my box.

Weird, but worked out since I was home anyway.
 
I had to ship direct to a Dallas store because I don't trust not being at home and dealing with all of that, says item will be able to pickup on July 20th from Apple Store. Does anyone know if that date can improve sooner? Hopefully? Going iPad only till then. Also since Mountain Lion is suppose I come out in July do you think I'll already have it loaded with ML on it? Probably not..but maybe.
 
I stand corrected. I don't think anyone has seen any movement on the 7-10 day shipping times yet, but that's to be expected, as it's only been 4.

My estimate was 5-7 days and it shipped on day 4, so you might see movement on day 6 or on the earlier side of the 7-10 day range. Initial delivery estimate was between June 26th and June 28th. Now FedEx is giving me delivery by June 20th before 12pm, a full 6 days ahead of schedule!
 
hey guys, anyone notice a period of time where your temp auth completely disappeared off your card? cause mine has been there since the second i ordered and i just went in to check and see if there's any good news and now i've got no statement activity from apple at all - no temp auths and no charges. good sign or terrifying sign????

Not sure if I will see any movement over the weekend since they aren't "business days," but who knows. We have no idea how sophisticated the algorithm that generates those estimates are. Not very, from the looks of things, as almost everyone's items have been shipped before the quoted window of time.

Sounds normal from the looks of things.

Yep, my temp auth disappeared this morning but still haven't seen any other signs of update...

One out of my three charges from Apple has disappeared. It was the only one that was pending and not actually charged... But still. Mine arrived in Alaska yesterday at 2pm and according to fed ex and newegg it's still stuck there.

I'm not much help.

Earlier in the thread I mentioned how you and me were in the same boat.

I just checked my tracking again and the status changed from "In transit" in Anchorage to "Departed FedEx Location" at 3:35PM AKDT after arriving there at 1:18PM the day before. That means it has been sitting in Alaska for 26 1/3 hours (...so inefficient). If yours arrived in Alaska at 2PM that means it should be shipping out shortly. The next Anchorage FedEx flights are as follows:

http://flightaware.com/live/flight/FDX92 (4:12PM AKDT to Newark)
http://flightaware.com/live/flight/FDX28 (4:17PM AKDT to Memphis)
http://flightaware.com/live/flight/FDX5092 (4:47PM AKDT to Memphis)
http://flightaware.com/live/flight/FDX86 (5:00PM AKDT to Oakland)

Your tracking info should update at one of those times.
 
Mine has been stuck at "In transit" from Alaska for nearly 24 hours now. They driving it down or something? :p

Edit: Just saw Mapex's post. Good to know they plan on actually delivering it... But it's 5:13PM in AKDT time now so those flights have already left but no update in the system (not sure how long it takes to update on the site).

I had the same issue; read the post right above yours for when the next Alaska-departing FedEx flights are and wait for those times before checking your tracking information again. I just had mine ship out an hour ago after the package sat in Alaska for 26 hours.

Just refreshed it again right after my post and it's now in there:

Guess mine is with yours. Takes nearly 2 hours to update on their site apparently.

How did you get this info? When was the last flight leaving Shanghai and coming to North America, and when is the next one?

Update:
NVM.

received mine today

I ordered my 2.3 GHz, 16 GB RAM, 256 GB HD Macbook Pro Retina right after it was announced, as soon as the Apple Store came back online, and I received the computer this morning at around 11am PST. I'm in Los Angeles.

Excellent! Looks like it will be in Memphis by 12:27am. Now, what to do about this whole Saturday conundrum if it gets to Columbus, OH where I live...
 
Mine isn't due for at least another 3 weeks...

Is there a chance this ETA might goes down by at least a week???
 
ok, this is driving me batty.

FedEx is showing:

Jun 15, 2012 8:59 AM In transit OAKLAND, CA
Jun 15, 2012 8:31 AM Arrived at FedEx location OAKLAND, CA
Jun 15, 2012 6:45 AM Departed FedEx location MEMPHIS, TN
Jun 15, 2012 2:40 AM International shipment release - Import MEMPHIS, TN
Jun 14, 2012 11:43 PM Arrived at FedEx location MEMPHIS, TN

I'm new at this FedEx stalking thing. What does this mean?!

The fedex hub is in Memphis. Most everything is routed through memphis then sent to your respective airport.
 
I am in the 2-3 weeks bracket, so not expecting mine for some time.
The only reason I am getting it delivered is because I get free AppleCare for ordering online at my Uni campus. But if this wasn't the case, I would definitely not wait this long, so why are other people doing it. I imagine you will be able to pick them up no problem by the end of next week in store. Unless Apple are shockingly low on stock.

It seems like they haven't been stock piling the rMBP's.
