No way thats legit! Talk about job perks aha. I bet if you have access to it then more power to you

Yeah I work as an FAA agent in the tower. So I'm hoping that it'll get me my new lovely, otherwise the guy on the phone said it will be delivered NO EARLIER, than Wednesday.
 
Hey guys,

Just wanted to give you guys an update on my order. Ordered base retina model scheduled for 7-10 days shipping. It just went in as "Preparing for Shipment". Hurrah! Looks like the 7-10 days are starting to move!

Same here. I don't recall what time I ordered but it did say "ships in 7-10 days". and mine also just switched to "preparing for shipment" today. I'm guess it will ship tomorrow and I'll have it by weeks end!

Wow Wednesday? Mines in the same facility delivering tomorrow. On another note, there is a huge ATC/FAA facility up here in Longmont.. Any idea what they do there?
 
Well, It technically says 2-3 week delivery, not 2-3 weeks till shipped. I'm a 3-4 weeker, so I'm not expecting anything, but ground shipping from china can take up to a week, so something in the next couple days for 2-3 weekers isn't that crazy if the goal is an early in the 2.

Ground shpping from China???
 
5-7 Day'er here, just switched from Processing to Preparing for Shipment.

Delivery scheduled for June 22-24

Probably northern dispatch. Honestly they handle more up there than we do actually at DIA.
 
Ordered June 11, forgot what time. In 2-3 week, Jun 28-Jul 5. Still "Processing". I would go to an Apple store and pick it up if they had any stock.
 
Update: Just got my shipment confirmation via email just about 12 hours after it went "preparing for shipment". Original shipping dates were June 25-28, Apple now says delivered by June 21. However, FedEx estimates are June 20 by 10:30 am!

I should add I initially purchased the expedited shipping for the extra $15. That coupled with apples conservative estimates is what its getting it faster to me, I think.
 
So mine was delivered to my local 'delivery' facility this morning, which is about 8-10 miles away. There is a chance they will try for delivery today but not sure. I'm also not sure I want to try to see if I can pick it up. I'll watch the order status for another hour or so and figure what I want to do.

I also happen to need to go in the vicinity of the facility later today but at this point, it doesn't matter if I get it today or tomorrow morning.
 
You call your local sorting facility and tell them you want to pick it up from the facility. That's what I did when I got my first iPod. They hold it in the main office.

They typically wont hold anything without at least one delivery attempt. If you can do this, it will be on the tracking page.
 
Lower-End 15" Retina MBP
7-10 day group (Estimated to deliver June 26-June 29th via Standard Shipping)
Ordered on Monday some time between 6PM and 7:30PM EST

Still processing; but getting hopeful now that a few 7-10ers' statuses are changing

Woke up this morning and my status changed to PREPARING FOR SHIPMENT
i pooped my pants cause i was so excited

so sometime in the last 8 hours, they switched my status :p

i'm ecstaticcccc
 
Apple has never charged me for RMBP. When apple is going to do that? I need to organize my money.

Hmm they charged me on the day i bought it:



Also I noticed that 5% thing which is like over $100. Anyway to get that retroa-ctively?

Oh and mine is at my local hub (which is the same city). Here is hoping in the next few hours it will be out for delivery and come today!.
 
Well I am in the 2-3 week crowd in Canada, Still says processing. Ordered teh day it was announced.
 
Mine just updated to "at destination sort facility" That usually means it will be delivered same day. Ordered last week as soon as the Canadian store came online, base model with 16 GB
 
Seems like Apple have requested delivery on Friday for my order. :(

This means I won't get it until next week. :mad:

At local FedEx facility
CHICAGO, IL

What does it mean? It is not on vehicle for delivery... Should i call them?

Estimated delivery date is 6/20 though.
 
Decided to cancel my order for the 2.3GHz retina model. Too expensive and the I think Apple haven't treated me well with regards to my original order, especially considering I've bough a top model iMac and Macbook air all within the last few months...

If you live in a suburb of Chicago, it still has to go to your local FedEx warehouse. For example, all my packages end up in Chicago, but they have to go to Aurora, IL before they're "out for delivery".
