I have a 2.3/16/256 that was ordered 7/23 go to preparing for shipping just now. I chose express shipping, and eta was 8/2-8/9.

My other one (same specs) I ordered on 7/14 with regular shipping, and FedEx says it'll be here on 8/2. Looks like they may show up the same day! Ironic.

Thursday may just be a wonderful day.
 
Hopefully I'll get mine on Monday (today) but worst case I'll pick it up on my way home Tuesday night.
 
Fedex does seem to move international packages during the weekend. If you go to Fedex's web page and enter your tracking number, you should see where it currently is. However, once it hits your country (US?), it'll have to go through customs, and I think customs only work during weekdays.

As it happened, FedEx didn't touch my package over the weekend except for a short transfer within China.
 
Ordered 7/2

Scheduled Delivery: Tuesday, 07/31/2012, By End of Day
Last Location: Departed - Langenhagen, Germany, Monday, 07/30/2012

Today is going to be the longest day ever!

Mine has changed to "In Transit to Customer - Shipment on Schedule" since this morning.
Still no tracking number though.
Does anybody know how long this will take before it gets delivered? (Netherlands, Belgium)?

I ordered mine 7/22 and it's still processing items!! :(
 
I would like to ask anyone posting about a change in status, or a completed delivery, to please include their original order date, so we can get some idea as to how long the process took for that individual.

Thanks very much!

Has anybody managed to pick up a package at a local FedEx office on Saturday or do you have to wait until a delivery is attempted first before you can redirect it to be help at an office. The first 3 FedEx reps I called said I could pick it up today (Saturday) as long as the package was at a service center that was open and not locked down in a container where it was inaccessible. But the 4th rep I talked with said there was absolutely no way they will let me pick it up because of a restriction that Apple put on it that one delivery attempt has to be made first. It seems stupid to make a delivery attempt first when the service center is like 2 miles away from me and I know I'll be at work on Monday. Any thoughts? And I kind of want my laptop today since I won't have much time to play with it next week. Any thoughts?

I know it's a little late now, but in late 2008 (First UniBody MacBooks) I tracked my package to it's destination sort facility. I got there just before they opened, and was able to talk them into letting me snag my computer. This was, however, in 2008, and for a $1600 computer vs $2600.

Early adopted they UniBody, and will be an early adopter of the Retina. Here's hoping it lasts me to the next redesign, like the UniBody MacBook did!
 
Ordered 2.3/8/256 base model on 7/14.

Shipped on 7/27. Expected to be here Tuesday or Wednesday.




I order my 2.3/16/256 on 7/13 and i'm still processing,

I'm going to give apple a quick ring, but is there any chance of your order number for reference good sir?

Did you get an email from Apple with a Delivery/shipping number beginning with an '8'? If so, go to the exp.o website I and others have linked earlier in this thread and check for any movement there. It should show your MBP's initial shipping from China to... likely Amsterdam before being assigned a courier (likely UPS or TNT) where you will also be assigned a tracking number.
 
My shipping has changed from August 3rd to August 1st! UPS, and its in London right now. Is there any way to get Apple or UPS to change the speed of delivery (for extra payment of course) :p

SMacDuff; woudl you mind sending me the exp.o website address?

Thanks in advance
 
My package went from Shanghai to Alaska and has been stuck there for two days. :(

I don't think FedEx will really move your package on weekends -- though they may if you have expedited shipping..

I ordered mine 7/22 and it's still processing items!! :(

Patience will pay off :). I ordered mine on 7/15 (2.6/512/16) and it prepared for Shipment Saturday AM, shipping later that day. Should arrive on Wednesday while I'm away on vacation :(
 
woohoo!

On FedEx vehicle for delivery
AUBURN HILLS, MI


despite being scheduled for delivery on 7/31 by fedex, they have it on a truck today!!

Are you serious! I hope that doesn't happen to mine... :apple:

The flight from Anchorage to Memphis doesn't occur every day, I don't think. You'll get it in time, though.. Fedex works magic to get your package to you by the estimated date.

Looks like I'm going to get it 2 days early! I didn't think it was going to come today, bonus!

Thanks
Jeff.
 
Oddly, mine moved from China to Memphis, and is now stuck in customs, like other peoples'. :(

Well, one of mine has been delivered as of 9:32AM EST. The record doesn't show that is has been delivered yet, but FedEx sent me an email to that effect and I called home and it has truly arrived. It'll be a long day at work! :D

The other rMBP I ordered didn't make the cut-off on Friday, so I presume it's flying into Memphis right now? I hope it gets to the east coast today so it'll be delivered as well, tomorrow morning.
