New to Mac

I went to see it at an apple store. However, I went the day after it was released, so I wasn't really able to mess around with it too much.

Me to I have been stopping by the Apple store when I go to the mall, but I'm sure I will be beside myself when my Mac gets here :D.
 
If my detective skills are up to par, I believe my macbook should be arriving in Anchorage in 5hrs!

I could be way off, but based on scan times I think I might have found the right flight: China Cargo 225. Fingers crossed!!

Hopeless

I just ordered my MBPr 512/2.6/16 on July 9th and I have the same delivery date as if you ordered today with fast shipping and I also have the fast shipping. Mine says it wont deliver until Aug 3-8 which sucks and it is to replace a defective macbook pro that I already ordered and returned. Now computer-less for 2-3 more weeks .......:mad:
 
Mine is on truck for delivery. Only took them 34 days...

I learned a lesson though. Order first then think about it, not the other way around. I'm not gonna make myself go through another 34 day wait for a product after release ever again.
 
Did you guys buy the new MacBook without seeing it?

I ordered mine the day it was announced and refused to look at one in the store. I know it sounds strange, but I wanted to see it in all its glory when I was able to keep it.

If I saw it in the store and wasn't able to take it home, it would drive me crazy.
 
3am yesterday would have likely been after their cutoff. You should see some update after 12am EST

Ah, thank you. I'll start refreshing order status vigorously after midnight.

I completely agree. I'm never going through this again, ever. Never. Ever. Never. Ever. Ever. Ever. Never. Ever. Done.

Has anyone who have ordered a retina macbook from Bestbuy.com in the past couple weeks had any update on their order? :(
 
Anxiously awaiting an update from my store on my 2.6/16/768 18th June order. Will hear from them today
 
Ordered on 06/20/2012 2.7/16/512; it shipped Friday the 13th from Shanghai; arrived in Anchorage Saturday; arrived and departed from Oakland today. Hopefully delivery tomorrow (?) :D

Arrived today at 9:30 AM...:D :D

This thing is awesome! The display is absolutely stunning - like no other display I've ever seen before except for the iPad3!
 
Before I forget in the excitement about the new toy... it should arrive tomorrow.

Here's the trail it took.
Ordered: 6/13
"Shipped" according to Apple: 7/12
Actually shipped according to DHL: 7/13
Stuck in customs for a day.
Left Shenzen 7/14, went on a little sight seeing tour in the Yangtze delta before arriving in Hong Kong 7/16.
Arrived in Bangkok/Thailand: 7/17
ETA Chiang Mai/Thailand: 7/18 - pretty confident on that as customs already cleared. Although this is DHL maybe they'll send it by pony express.

waiting...

I ordered my MBP (Retina, 2.6, 16GB, 512) through compnow in Sydney, Australia on 16 June. Now saying it might arrive by the end of July at the earliest. Does that seem like a long time???
 
So I called Apple. They said that it wouldn't be arriving into Bangkok until the 17th and wouldn't deliver until the 19th. Told them that wouldn't work as I am actually going on a long trip on the 18th. They said they'd try to deliver it late to my house on the 17th then. Its like every step for DHL takes a whole day.

DHL sucks.

They picked it up a day late; then they sent it around China for 2 days. Altogether the DHL loss on this shipment is around 3 days.

The machines are de facto in Bangkok and past customs right now. If I was you I'd tell DHL to leave it wherever it is now, and go pick it up from the office.

Oh yeah my complaint to Apple is on its way.
