Ordered a 27" i7/m395x/512 SSD on 10/27. It shipped yesterday and is arriving later today from California to Oregon. Don't know how I got lucky with such a quick turnaround time.
Got a tip for us?

Any luck in ripping apple a new one? Did it accomplish anything? I was very tempted to do it today myself!
The whole way the order system works is through a computerized algorithm - not sure what the parameters are, but I was told as much when I phoned them again today. They can't call or communicate with the manufacturing plants in any way. I was basically told, that if mine doesn't ship by November 4th, it will be delayed again, and the only thing I can try at that point is to cancel my order, re-order and hope I get in a better queue at a different plant.
It really is luck of the draw.
I'm almost tempted to just order another one now that the preauthorized charge on my card expired and cancel the one that doesn't ship first.
I feel the same way, but I worry that my location would put me in the same qeue and at the back of the line.
Actually, I read what you said wrong. Thats an interesting idea. You are a clever man.

Update: I ordered mine 3 hours after it was released. It finally shipped on Wednesday and arrived today. Too bad I won't be able to see it till Sunday night since I am home for reading week. Gonna be a long 48 hours. Mine was a BTO and also shipped from California.
Wow that was a long turnaround for you also. Mine has finally gone to preparing for shipment from an Oct 19th order. Also a call to Apple got me faster shipping today so hopefully that will help.
My experience was similar. 3.3/2tb For my trouble record New magic trackpad and the Superdrive for $20 each due there screw up. I ended up walking into Bestbuy picking one up the very same day it was unloaded off the truck. Refused shipment on the iMac from Apple but being they sent the goodies as separate order. I still received those items and kept them both!! They screwed up these orders for these new iMac'sIt's almost 4am here and I'm 'still preparing for shipment'. Today is the last day of the window. I'm having doubts that it will get here before noon, even though I was assured by Apple x3 times yesterday that it's on schedule. Support won't open for 4 more hours and AppleCare refused to assist me, saying its not technical support and they don't have access to the information I'm looking for. I woke up specifically so I could pre sign, but it's turned into loss of sleep.
I will not being be purchasing my new iPad Pro from them but thru Power Max instead.
