Yep same(except orderd 19th), I dont know how the others are still stuck in processing, it does not make sense.
 
Shipped!

Went to bed last night with the status as "Processing items"

Woke up this morning with a message from Apple saying that it had shipped! Which is funny because it either rushed through the "preparing for shipment" stage or never hit it at all, as it was only 8 or so hours after I checked it that it shipped.

Ordered 2.6/16/512 on July 4th, shipped July 25th, estimated arrival date of the 30th. FINALLY.

How did you guys get the flight information for your package? Does FedEx give you the flight number?

EDIT: I'll let you guys know if it has Mountain Lion on it, might explain the oddly slow shipping time.

Can you please PM me order number so I can call Apple and complain?
Same specs, ordered 7/6, still processing.

Pretty awesome you got that "less than 24 hours" shipping option!
 
FedEx is going to give me a heart attack.

FYI I live in Atlanta.

Can anyone with a order date after the July 13th whose computer has shipped PM me their order number?
 
I'm giving Apple today to get my laptop it processed. If not I'm calling back yet again. First time they told me "Sir orders are processed in the order they are received, so re-ordering will only prolong the shipment." Ok I was accepted with that response. Called yesterday and was wondering why orders with dates past mine have gone through and was told "We are working on getting all orders filled sir.". Seems the orders are on a dart board and they just throw darts on who is picked to be shipped.

Overall I feel Apple really dropped the ball and just because they throw in or refund certain items in the order doesn't help.

So it shipped today and is to arrive today also?

Must live like an hour from the factory or something :p

Oh, I meant that it was shipped from the factory today. It will not supposedly arrive at my house until the 30th. Also, I paid for the expedited shipping if that matters.

EDIT: Can you not PM someone if you don't friend on this forum?
 
Anyone who ordered the 2.3/16/256 and is getting these order numbers from shipped orders to call Apple, let us know how that works because I might try that too. I ordered 7/14 and still no changes or emails.
 
Where does the shipping number show up at? It says the $100 education app store gift card shipped yesterday but I don't see a tracking number anywhere. Or are the gift cards not tracked? My rmbp is coming later though and is still processing if that matters.

Mine shipped early as well, there was a Track Shipment button on the Order Page on the Apple site.

My gift card shipped basically right after I placed my order, never got tracking. I think it came in the regular mail actually, from North Carolina. rMBP is still processing.
 
Let us know what they say. It seems like the whole orders get shipped in order thing is false.

Will do. As soon as I get a call back from my agent (left him a message), I'll let you know what if anything they said/did.

same here. gift card came through the mail while all my other accessories (magsafe converter and mini-dvi adapter) shipped via fedex and ups. My order from 7/11 is still processing, and the apple reps are tired of hearing from me:rolleyes: it seems as if orders placed after the updated shipping times are getting processed faster. it is almost like our orders just were forgotten. I feel as if I am in this "no man's land" where I don't know if placing a new order will benefit anything or not. so frustrated right now.
 
I called Apple, and they said that since my order status picture contains a picture of the Mountain Lion wallpaper, AND since it hasn't shipped it will come with it pre installed.

I would think they would just put it in an envelope and mail it by USPS. Was the tracking button right next to the gift card on the order status page? I looked everywhere and I can't find anything. Maybe mine won't track.
 
It was standard shipping that I chose. I would think they would just put it in an envelope and mail it. Was the tracking button right next to the gift card on the order status page? I looked everywhere and I can't find anything. Maybe mine won't track.

It should be very easy to see on the Order Status page. It's right above the image of the gift card on my end.
