Order 6/12, status changed to shipping 7/12, actually shipping 7/13, and now at Shanghai Airport with a clearance delay as of about an hour ago.

Jul 13, 2012 20:54 Pvg - PVG Clearance delay - Pvg - PVG

My hopes are vanishing I will get it on Monday. For reference, the other accessories I got from China went like this
6/13 SZV picked up
6/14 PVG clearance delay
6/15 HHP Clearance processing complete
6/15 BKK Clearance delay
6/16 BKK Clearance complete
6/18 Delivered
 
Never thought I'd say this, but I can't wait for this weekend to end :/ Asian orders have been the slowest (we're up to shipments from the 13th vs. 20th for other regions). Need mine to speed up: ordered 15th, though found out the order was only placed on the 18th
 
Just checked my order and...ITS PREPARING FOR SHIPMENT. Ordered 6/21 with the 2.3/16/256 config. Anticipating it by the end of next week. :D:D

No change to mine either :( 2.6/16/512 19th order. Singapore
 
Really? Mine was $85... I didn't really have much of a choice. I'm leaving my dad's tomorrow, which in that case, I would need to have it shipped to my home in Wisconsin, forcing me to pay $130 in tax on top of shipping :eek:

Well, that works out then. My tracking has updated to say my rMBP will be here Tuesday. Just like I hoped. :)

As per my discussion with Apple, orders that are managed by the SG store (i.e. Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore) will be coming out slower than American ones as they can only go into the queue when Agency Approval was given, which was about 5 days after America. Which is why people on the 13th are getting theirs now in SG vs. the 20th elsewhere.

Really was hoping to get my MBP retina ready for a gig overseas next weekend but looks like chances are slim :(
 
Ordered two 2.6/16/512's on Friday, 13th July.. Got Aug. 2nd as my latest delivery date, but was told it'd probably be end of July when I get it.:D
 
Same here. And no information about UPS or which flight it's on.

Do you know how to track the flight? which website?

I think it'll land here by Sunday, one day for merging the gift card and probably they'll deliver it to us by Tuesday! What do you think ?

I don't think we get UPS info until its left syncreon because it has to merge first with our gift cards.

Expeditors is now showing requested delivery date as the 19th, meaning it won't arrive in the UK until Thursday but I think it'll come earlier than that. I think we'll have them on Friday.
 
Ordered launch day as soon as apple.com went back up. Received today. Fed ex tracking said it would arrive
Monday and randomly came this morning. USB 3.0 voyager q issues so far

Looking dim for Monday indeed :(

I just got this machine today (bought locally from another member) and it's sooo wonderful! I'm glad I returned my 8gb model!
 
Mine has gone to finally gone to shipped this morning.

Ordered on the 20th June, ....16/512. It could have only been in preparing to ship for a few hours.

Could someone kindly remind me how to track the shipment? I'm in the UK.
 
Vancouver Residents --> In Stock

Hey peeps

Simply Computing in Vancouver has the base model in stock if you do not want to wait for shipping or need configuration upgrades.
 
Looks like mine's in Koeln since last night...

Koeln, Germany 07/14/2012 2:17 A.M. Package data processed by brokerage. Waiting for clearance.
Shanghai, China 07/13/2012 11:41 P.M. Departure Scan
07/13/2012 8:31 P.M. Origin Scan
China 07/13/2012 7:41 A.M. Order Processed: Ready for UPS

Bar at the top says 'Exception'. Can anybody shed some light on this? I'm guessing this is a customs delay?
 
My order cleared processing PVG July 14 16:22

I assume we're on the same shipment. I think maybe they fly on Sundays and arrive Sunday night. And then maybe it will clear Thai customs first thing Monday morning... and then maybe DHL will deliver it Monday afternoon.

What am I talking about, this is Thailand...

Looking dim for Monday indeed :(
 
So my laptop has shipped but i cant seem to view the sales invoice.

When i click on the link on the order status page it directs me to log in with my apple id. I do have an apple id but I didn't enter it when i checked out. I enter my details anyway and it displays an error saying 'Im sorry your request could not be completed'.

Anyone else having this issue? I dont really care as long as i get a sales invoice in the package or emailed to me.
 
I tracked on expeditors and it says

Freight and Docs Received - #xxxxxxx
SHANGHAI, CHINA TO LONDON, ENGLAND
Freight Received w/Docs: 14-Jul-2012 02:09:00 GMT


what does that mean????

22nd June Order here to the UK. Still Processing for me. 2.7/16/512

Called apple to ask about expedited shipping and they refused, saying nobody else can get that as it is a new model!
