3-4 weeks from Apple Store Canada. I changed my order today to bump the RMBP RAM from 8 to 16GB. Expected delivery is now July 19-25th.
 
So we have our Macbook on the same flight then. I think we'll get it on Monday.

This part is what I don't like: 21-Jun-2012 15:00:00 CEST Requested Delivery Date.

Seems like Apple have requested a delivery to them on Friday? And mine is getting "merged" with gift card/Ethernet to Thunderbolt cable, which probably will delay delivery by at least one day.

Mine is also getting merged with a gift card.
Does it really takes 2 days to merge a package? I want it before the weekend! :(

No idea. But I don't know if it will be shipped by air or road from Netherlands. And then we have Midsommarafton on Friday too. I fear that might cause a slip.
 
It's one of the common routes.

My machine is coming in the same shipment as yours. I spent a while obsessing this morning and was wondering what flights are coming today and was hoping for FX28 from Narita to Anchorage, but there was no info for it. Now when I go to close down my windows from my earlier obsession session I see that FX28 has popped up and is about to land.

I'd have a small wager on it being on that plane. If so we'd see updates in an hour or two.

Arrived at FedEx location
ANCHORAGE, AK
 
Can someone help me try to locate an update on this flight? I tried to use a couple of the links provided in this thread but couldn't find anything about FDX flights leaving SHANGHAI.

Do all products coming from Shanghai go to Anchorage before their final destination, or is there another U.S. city that they arrived to as well? Thanks!
 
Well, just got my gift card (18th, 3 days before expected [21st-22nd])
Hoping that translates to my 2-3 weekness! Haha hoping things change around Wednesday.
 
My RMBP must be with jcpb's and xalexx's. I ordered the base model on 6/11 around 6PM EST, and it finally changed to Preparing for Shipment around 11:30 last night, then Shipped around noon today. FedEx says it should be here on Thursday!

I was in the 7-10 day category, and originally Apple said I'd receive it between 6/28 and 7/4. I'm very excited at this turn of events. :D

Now my computer has arrived in Anchorage, probably the flight you thought they were on. Now I wonder if a flight will leave from Anchorage to Memphis any time soon!

I was only able to find two flights heading to Anchorage from anywhere near China, FDX14 (from Taiwan) and FDX92 (from Korea). My MacBook took a flight from Guangzhou to Anchorage despite FedEx saying it was in Shanghai. My guess is that yours is likely on FDX14, which as of this posting is 10 minutes from landing.

You'll find out soon enough if FDX14 is the right flight. :)

Did your CC get charged with the billable amount yet? Mine isn't showing anything from Apple for the past week.

Mine is 2.7/16/512.

No, you're mixing up your personal tracking and Apples third party reference numbers. The 8xxxxxxx number you are tracking right now is Apple sending bulk to their own facilities in Europe. So Apple requested delivery to itself for June 21th. It will arrive on the 21th in CZ, or NL and merge with additional items. After merging you will be provided with another tracking number (UPS, TNT, DHL, Hermes...)
 
FedEx Sucks

Last night my rMBp was in Newark about 20 minutes from my home today its in Ann Arbor MI i called FedEx they said they mistakenly sent it to Detroit but it would still deliver by the FedEx promised date of the 20th ( rather than being early) i am so PISSED and it hasn't moved since this morning

WTF FedEx?!@#$ :mad::mad::mad::mad:

Thanks for the info, FDX14 just landed. Still no update on my fedex tracking, but I realize it's probably not as quick to update.

No, it hasn't been charged yet. I purchased Apple Care as well, and I was charged for that, but not the laptop.

I have 26-29 also. Still preparing for shipping. When did u get shipped notice?

12:16PM EST :O

Went to bed last night with my 7-10 day base order still processing. Woke up this morning with it shipped FINALLY.
Now, in Shanghai, it has left Fedex origin facility. Whatever that means. Also, it says that happened at 8:40 pm last night?
I'm going to be very confused by this.
But my estimated delivery date is thursday, a day earlier than the "June 22-29th" apple estimate.
It seemed like I was in processing for forever but actually this is a pretty speedy service. I'm hoping I can get my hands on it for wednesday to avoid having a free day to sit around anxiously without my MBPr.

Delivery buddies! (Well, until it reaches Amurka. Then we must go our separate ways)

In other news, received my gift card in the mail today; and in a separate order from Amazon, an Incase Sleeve for the new Retina MBP--HOPING IT FITS WHEN THE LAPTOP GETS HERE :p

Mine's on the same plane too :)

I am guessing FDX84 is our guy.

Ok, maybe I am obsessing. It's a hobby.

Most will go through Anchorage, either directly from Shanghai or via Japan to Anchorage. However, I've seen some direct flights from Shanghai to Memphis, skipping Anchorage entirely.
