I think the reality is that they are shipping in order of the areas with the biggest demand. I am in Australia, Melbourne, and thus have been relegated to the 'not so important' basket probably due to the number of orders being much lower than US regions. Ah well. Again just incase there's anyone else out there with similair I ordered July 10 (11th AUS) 2.3/16/256 expected delivery July 31st - August 6th. The closest ship date is looking more and more unlikely

I orderer the same 10th and my dates are 2-8 Aug with fast shipping. (US) :rolleyes:

Mine still processing, exact same build. Is yours still processing?
 
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 called Apple today and they said that any BTO computers ordered July 25th or later will certainly come with Mountain Lion installed

I ordered mine on the 10th, same as both you guys, and it's still processing. Different build, but also in U.S. My estimated delivery dates remain August 2nd - 8th.
 
rMBP: 2.3/16/256
OD: July-3rd
ship-to: USA

Status still shows Processing. don't understand how orders past july-3rd are getting shipped. Unless my system has some issues during testing and probably stuck some where in manufacturing process...

WooooHoooooo.....

just noticed apple charged my card and status changed to Preparing for Shipment.

Timbuk2 Q-backpack, Timbuk2 Crater sleeve and iCarbons black fiber skin (bottom only) have already arrived. Can't wait for the rMBP....

I am super Happy....

Thanks, that'll be nice. I was wondering when ML would start shipping preinstalled.

I ordered the 2.6/16 on July 4th. Still processing.

At what point should I start worrying/calling apple?

I ordered the same thing on July 5th and it just went to preparing to ship this morning. If it doesn't change tomorrow I would call!

Switched to shipped just now!!! How long are people getting theirs with 2-3 day shipping?

Yes! Mine just changed to "preparing for shipment"!

Ordered: 10/7
2.3/16/256 custom keyboard.

Earliest date is August 2, do you guys think it might arrive earlier? How much time does it usually takes to deliver from China to US?
 
2.3/16/256 through Education store ordered 7/6 and finally shipped! Shipped on 7/25 estimated delivery 7/30. Original expected was 8/2-8/8 with expedited shipping. The wait is almost over...
 
Wow they must have just really kicked into high gear, b/c mine just went to preparing for shipping!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

been waiting for this for what seems like forever

7/11

2.3/16/256
 
My order changed to "preparing for shipping" too!! Ordered 7/11 2.3/16/256. They charged my card $16.01(expedited shipping) a day ago so I was hoping that meant it'd be "perparing for shipping" soon. Sure enough a day later the status changed, yay!
 
Well my 2.3/16/256 ordered 7/12 is still processing. Guess mine wasnt included in the rush
 
Ohhhhh maaaaaan. Happy for you guys but quietly grumpy because I ordered same day same specs. :( Ah well, hope you guys enjoy, hopefully my order pops up soon. Don't think I'll believe it when I finally see that 'preparing to ship' status

Well, they gave you a delivery date of 8/2-8/8, and so you have to go by that (the fact that others are getting theirs earlier doesn't really matter). If you ordered expedited shipping, you can probably start worrying and call them maybe next Wednesday. If you ordered the standard shipping, then maybe you can call them on Monday or Tuesday. However, you might still get lucky and see a status change between now and Saturday. :D
 
Does expedited shipping affect when they get sent out though? Seems to me that they should be leaving the factory in basically the order they were purchased in, and then the expedited shipping customers would get their's a little sooner once they have shipped.

I would imagine that is true, but I guess there really isn't anyway to know

Great news! I got an email from Apple saying that my card was declined!

Knowing that I hard more than enough in the bank, I went ahead and rang them up. The rep was very friendly and suggested we try to do a manual authorization for the funds (just under 2k) and he went ahead and did that.

My delivery date got bumped up to August 1st. So, I should have my machine in 6 days!
