So you think I'll get mine before the August 21-23 expected date? I ordered it today.

That's a pretty quick estimate for ordering today! I ordered mine on August 3rd and it was estimated 21-23! But its now shipping and estimated to come by Wednesday.
 
2.6/16/512/Retina
Ordered 8/6
Preparing for Shipment 8/9

I don't know how long it's going to take to ship, but I'm very impressed with it already moving from processing to preparing for shipment just three days later. Hopefully I have it by the end of next week! I'm very excited for my Retina Pro. I've been with my late 2008 Pro for far too long.

Just got my "shipped" email. FedEx says it'll be here August 15th. Not bad.

I ordered mine (2.3/256/16) on August 2nd, and it shipped yesterday morning, but it's been at a "local FedEx facility" in Shanghai for over 24 hours. Has anyone else encountered this?
 
Hey.. I don' think I was on that flight. My last update was Aug 9, 2012 12:49 PM International shipment release - Import ANCHORAGE, AK.

How can I find out what flight I'm on???

You can view fedex flights on flightaware.com

That's normal unfortunately. Same thing happened to me.
 
Well just received my MacBook Pro! UPS handled it to me almost a 'day' earlier as the scheduled delivery time was today after 7pm and it came just a few minutes ago (11am). Everything was ok but the machine didn't came with Mountain Lion so I'm currently upgrading it, something that is gonna take a while...

Good luck to all of you still waiting for your delivery to arrive :)
 
What configuration is your rMBP Nikki?

(I'm still on "Processing" arrgh... spoke to Apple and because I upgraded the ram to 16gb, mine is coming from China.)

----------

Just the base model, would have loved to have upgraded to 16GB but my parents are loaning me the money (before my student card runs out) so I can't really ask for any more hehe.
 
Ordered a 2.3/16/256 on August 5th (French online Apple Store)
Wire transfer received: August 7th
Estimated shipping: 5 - 7 days
Estimated delivery: August 23rd - 27th

Today is the 3rd day, order still "processing".

I can't wait! Never been so eagerly awaiting a product, especially since having seen it in person at an Apple Store this week :D.

May I know how did u get compensation from apple? As form of what, I would also like to get that as this is my 3rd rMBP coming.

I just asked for it on the phone! I was originally told £80 from someone at the calls centre. After I phoned them I was really annoyed, so I emailed Tim Cook from his public email and someone phoned me back on behalf of him and she took care of everything from replacement to upping compensation. She said I could either have £180 to spend in store, or £180 refund to the card used to purchase the RMBP - I went for the refund! Good luck!
 
Ordered a baseline 2.3/8gb/256gb model on 28/7 from the UK store, started processing 2/8 after the loan was approved. The day after the estimate was improved and my Delivery date was set to 9-13th August. Moved into "Preparing for Shipment" yesterday.

After calling Apple they told me that the set date for delivery for my address is 13/8, not allowing for acts of god or hold-ups in customs.

However now the order has moved to "Shipped" and they're saying the delivery will be on (or before) the 17th. Is this normal? My delivery date is now a week today instead of just a couple of days away :(
 
I just maybe lucky, I ordered on the 4th and shipped yesterday (no expedited, just standard), now it's between transit and delivered (on a flight). I don't care how long it takes I just want a good panel, good ssd, and mountain lion since I will be using this for a very long time.

Lucky indeed! Base model or BTO?
