Do you think Apple told us realistic dates for the delay?
Or do they just slip the date to the next delivery period and the game restarts on 20th December?
 
What is the difference between "prepairing for shipment" and "prepairing for dispatch"?

Mine has been two days in a state "prepairing for dispatch" (a hold on my cc).

Maybe just the country you're in? Seems almost like a Regional English term (i.e. British vs American English?)

Nope standard keyboard, no dongles or pre-installed software. I think the delay is either the high capacity SSDs or the 460s. Or Tim Cook just hates us.
You got the 2TB didn't you?

My credit card got an authorization today with the MacBook's amount.
EDIT: and the status changed to preparing for shipment.
Cool!!! When does your ETA start?

That's exactly what it is. I'm in the UK currently and on Apple UK it's listed as dispatch, but back home in Canada it would say shipment. "Dispatched" vs "shipped".
Any update guys?
 
I seem to remember someone posted how to track deliveries while it's in transit from China. Does anyone have the link to that post?
 
Out of curiosity, how many times a day do you guys refresh your order status page?

did not count it and I probably should not. It's 15 times or more I'd guess...

Preparing for shipment!!!!! Finally!

Ordered 15" on 6 Nov. Was also affected by delay and got an express upgrade.
So now it seems to come to an end

These early November orders somehow got stuck in the system. Where is your Laptop being delivered to? Mine is expected to be shipped out tomorrow via express to Germany. Guess it will not arrive before Monday, 19th though.
I keep telling myself that they changed something in production and we will have faultless machines.:rolleyes:

Mine switched to p4d overnight. Hopefully I'll see a dispatch today and get a firm delivery date. I'm glad to get some good news, also good to see other orders moving too.

Mine is shipped via express to Germany, Bavaria.
Hope we'll get it on Monday at the latest. I really keep my fingers crossed for delivery on Saturday.
