WHY IS MINE STILL IN SHANGHAI CHINA?! (UPS)

Shanghai, China 08/10/2012 1:08 Export Scan


I can't stop refreshing and dreaming about my order omg. I dreamt that it left China and it would be in any other place but China.

Textureboy, I think mine is with yours haha.

No way! I'm from Toronto as well! :D haha I guess it is on the same flight! When is yours expected to be delivered?
 
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".

Switched to "Preparing for Shipment"! My rMBP is finally built :D.

From what I gathered, it's going to be stopping by the Netherlands to complete the shipment with the Thunderbolt Ethernet adapter and gift card, then shipped home (France). With a little luck, it might be delivered by the end of the week.

I would say that's quite likely. Shipment should begin in about 16 hours, then 3-5 days to arrive seems to be the norm from other posters. Mine dispatched today and I'm just waiting for an update to the tracking (not sure when you get the first update)

Thanks ;). Yours shouldn't be too long either!
 
Does anyone know if FedEx delivers on Saturday? My rMBP has been stuck at "destination sort facility" for 12 hours. And it's only 20 minutes away from me.
 
ordered mine on Aug 2nd and it's 2.6Ghz/16GB RAM/768GB SSD:

There's some weirdness with the times there.. also, I wonder why it didn't leave shanghai with the others earlier in the day and it ended up in Alaska.. weird.

Hope I don't get the dreaded LG screen...
Mine is in Memphis now.. Destination is CA.
 
Finally got my hand on my rMBP today it was delivered on the 9th but i wasn't in town.

I ordered 2.6/16/512 on 7/22!!

everything is working seamlessly, i love it!!

It came with ML and everything is working perfectly no lag whatsoever, minor lag in FB, this lag can be found in all Windows machines.
 
Mine says the exact same thing, if it doesn't ship by today or tomorrow I don't know how it'll come by Wednesday.

Check yours now! The bloody thing finally updated:

Shanghai, China 08/12/2012 6:27 Departure Scan

The waiting game is the most fun part I gotta say though haha.

If yours is being shipped via Fedex, with expedited shipping, you'll probably get yours no later than Tuesday morning (even without expedited there's a chance you'll get it on Tuesday).
 
Also, should I be worrying about whether I get an LG or Samsung screen? Seen a bit of hooha in the threads about it?
Maybe, maybe not. It's just something you might want to check.

I ended up with the "dreaded" LG display, and it seems fine. No bad pixels, and I haven't seen any ghosting, but I haven't been looking for it (still, I leave firefox maximized for a while, and I'd expect that I'd see something with the titlebar/close/min/max buttons if I had a problem with ghosting). There was one time where the screen had a yellowish tinge to it, but it seems to have gone away and I haven't noticed it since (or, perhaps, I've just gotten used to it).

Bottom line, I'm happy with my LG display.

I checked before I got your message and I was about to message you but you beat me to it! LOOL I'm so excited now :D We can sleep tonight and hopefully it will be in Alaska... LOL

When I travel to Vietnam, I always stop at Alaska so I'm assuming Alaska will be the next destination :)

WOOT :)

Does it go directly to Toronto or stop by a UPS facility in the States first? I know with Fedex, it always bypasses Memphis. Anyways, Monday would be a welcome surprise. Can't wait to use it in uni!

I really hope it goes straight to Toronto, if it makes it there by tomorrow we'll wait till Monday for delivery because I don't think they work on Sunday!

Same! Will be my first year :) I'll be attending Ryerson for Photography, you?

Haha wow our similarities are endless eh? I'll be studying at Princeton, most likely for Economics (we don't declare until second year). To the land of 2-year contracts here I come :)

Couldn't wait and bit the bullet earlier for the rMBP though haha.
