Yeah it was.

Also, does anyone have any knowledge about how long it takes "Preparing for shipment" to finish?

I went from Prepared for Shipping to Shipped in less than a day. Likely more along the lines of 12 hours or so.

With that said, I still don't have any tracking info since it went to "Shipped" on Saturday morning.
 
Have been a lurker of this forum ever since I ordered on 6/28, but thought I'd join to see if anyone is having a similar experience as me.

Ordered 2.3/16/256 on 6/28. "Shipped" on 7/20. Does anyone know why my rMBP has yet to leave Shanghai?

UPS is bad and they have a very low customer service, I wouldn't surprise about it. See mine also shipped on 21st through fedex and its on the vehicle for delivery. FedEX moved the package over the weekend and today they are delivering. UPS just keeping the package in china. UPS worst delivery service in the world. (I guess paying extra $25 is worth it

Hey wjkalana, where is your beloved FedEx now?
 
delivered!

Ordered 2.3/16/256 rMBP with expedited shipping

-Ordered on 7/2
-Preparing for shipment on 7/20
-Shipped on 7/20
-Delivered on 7/23

It's pretty awesome, but I'm downloading the gigabytes of updates and apple servers are pretty slow right now..... :(

Non-retina apps look pretty fuzzy. I guess I am back to using Safari as my browser until Chrome is updated.
 
So it seems like regardless of the new shipping times our orders are going to be hitting around the original est delivery date?

Yup this really suc#s in my case it seems I'll have to wait even longer than the original estimated date of delivery.

In spite of my ETA has changed on the order status....

Good times iMakkie!! Happy 4 ya'!
 
Ordered mine on the July 10 and it went into 'Preparing for shipment' this afternoon! Woot!

It'll be interesting to see how long it spends in transit.

What configuration did you order? I ordered mine on the same day, and it's still processing. :(
 
Can FedEx hold the rMBP for pick-up even before a first delivery attempt is made?

also, just ordered a rMBP on Friday and noticed that the ship times went to 1-2 weeks from 2-3 when I ordered. So on my order status page the deliver dates are actually later than what they would be if I would order today. Does it make sense to cancel or re-order?


Thanks

Just wanted to say that's the first time I've seen a .bmp image since 2006, well done!

Hey check the dev channel for chrome here. I believe they enabled retina support here. The Dev channel is the "beta" for chrome so you can get pre-release features here.

Yes, what config did you order? I ordered mine on 7/11 - 2.3/16/256


And congrats to you both!
 
Shipped. But the approx delivery date is 08/03 :( It shouldnt take that long right? That is just an estimate by bridge-point, and not by FedEx or UPS so im hopeful it might arrive sooner

that seems awfully long indeed. where is it shipping to? and did you get expedited shipping?

Just call fedex they can redirect ur order to wherever u like.
 
So my buddy at work just checked his order and it has already shipped.
2.6/16/512 ordered on 7/13

The difference here may be that he ordered through a business account which apparently gets shipped out first:confused:

It does make sense that Apple would somehow prioritize orders if they have unexpected delivery delays, since you can log into the apple store on loads of ways, edu, biz, employee prog. etc. its really difficult to believe that this isn't something Apple has somehow preconfigured.

I'd def. think that business customers would have some kind of advantage regarding delivery time.
 
Do you guys think that adding 16 GB RAM and customizing the keyboard would make it take longer? Ordered 7/10 and still processing.
 
Fedex forgot my package in Memphis WTF?!?!

It was supposed to be delivered by 12:00 this morning and the estimated delivery date by fedex was today , but somehow my package stuck in Memphis.
Anyone had similar experience?

I hope fedex doesn't hold my package to meet apple estimated delivery date which was JUL 25th



Jul 21, 2012 2:53 AM In transit MEMPHIS, TN
Jul 21, 2012 2:09 AM Departed FedEx location MEMPHIS, TN
Jul 21, 2012 1:10 AM Arrived at FedEx location MEMPHIS, TN

it seems like the 2.3/16/256 configs are taking longer. I ordered mine on 7/11 and is still processing.
 
Ironic. I ordered on July 14th and the ETA is Aug 6-10. I ordered a second one today 9 days later and the ETA is Aug 2-9.

lol wut?

Both are 2.3/16/256 with EDU discount.
 
Delivered

rMBP 2/7/16/768 delivered today.

Ordered June 26th
Shipped July 20th
Received July 23rd

Love it! No lag whatsoever...not sure what everyone is complaining about...
 
mbp 2.5/8/500 ordered July 21st on Edu, ETA July 27-Jul 31st.

Got an email tonight that stuff is shipping out. got super excited then saw it was just the $100 gift card. MBP is still in "processing". totally bummed me out, but guess its good I caught it early before getting my package expecting the unit and its just the card lol. would have been all my rage

The exact thing happened to me! I was so excited that my laptop shipped early and then I realized it was just the gift card. :(

I'm in the exact same boat. Same order date as you and same status.

I've gotten extremely frustrated with this whole process, and it has definitely tarnished some of the excitement of getting this laptop.
