Mine just switched to "Preparing for Shipment" this morning. Anyone know an average turnaround time for this step? I ordered on 7/25

I ordered on the same day, and (2.6/16/512/EDU Discount/Expedited Shipping) and I'm still processing. There has not yet been the shipping charge on my card, but I have received the App Store gift card
 
2.6/16/512

Ordered: 7/16
Preparing: 7/27
Shipped: 7/28
Estimated delivery: 8/2 (Standard shipping to Boston area)
Deivery Estimate at time of order: Aug 6-10

Looks like Apple is catching up.

Arrived this am, one day early. Hung out at FedEx in Shanghai for a few days, but at my doorstep in less than 24 hours from departure from Shanghai.
 
When did you order from Amazon?

Sorry for the very delayed reaction, but I originally ordered the lower-end model on June 12, then cancelled that order and ordered the 512/2.6 model on June 14, so two weeks to get it. Isn't that great? :D
 
Have you noticed that it is already possible to choose disk size and processor on the RMBP base model? Which I had that choice 2 weeks ago......
 
Just ordered 2.6 ghz with 16gb and 256. Cancelled the order I placed on the 30th to get the perfect model for me.

Time to check it out and see If I got a perfect one and compare it to my Mid 2010 cMBP.

2.3/16/256 Model
 
Ordered on 7/14 with standard shipping at 7/20 with express shipping. Both were delivered this morning!
 
Typing this on my new rMBP. My gosh the screen is amazing, and it's sooo much faster than my old Mac. Thanks to everybody for all their help! Hoping the rest of you get yours soon. :D :apple:
 
Wow already delivered. I'm pretty sure it was still in China 24 hours ago. Glad I'm off early today.

FDX90 delivered! Those rMBPs had a nice little respite on their way to the US. Mine is out for delivery as well. I have an appointment this PM for about an hour. I hope Fedex doesn't show up while I am out. Two days to play with mine before going out of town. Enjoy your new Mac!

Ciao,
 
Just ordered mine on 7/31! ETA is August 10-17th, and that's with the faster shipping option which shaved a few days off the delivery. That's closer to 2-3 weeks than 1-2 weeks.
 
Jesus, that is torture!

That's right...
First procedure in the morning before brushing my teeth
-> grabbing iphone checking order status
-> getting mad
-> getting cup of coffee
-> checking again
-> getting angry
-> brushing my teeth
-> work :mad:

Hell... the loooooongest month of my life!

That's exactly what I do every day!!

a week and a half in, I could only imagine how you feel after a month.

more frustrating is people ordered after you or same time as you did are getting theirs already. :(

Just the "base" MBPr with 8GB Ram... nothing special.
Tomorrow I'm going to give them a call.
It seems that everyone around me is getting theirs sooner than expected and is waiting 2-3 weeks max... crazy :(
