Oh, don't you worrry, you will get yours, if you keep the order, by end of next week is my bet.

I am telling you that FEDEX probably stopped all other operations today to get these bad boys out for Apple and Apple is able to pay the premium with the 150% markup on these.:D

no unibody 17" at the apple stores in atlanta, ga. :-( at this point, if they get it before mine ships, i might go buy a glossy one just in case my matte one doesn't ship for another 2 weeks (scheduled to ship 2/27).

ciao,

yeah, I bet they get through the 1/15 orders today and you know they are working the weekend as well, so they may be to the end of January preorders by Monday evening. I wouldn't be surprised to see a shipped today notification for me for me 1/22 ordered with original 2/12 shipment date MBP.
 
i hope it ships next week. i ordered the matte screen on 1/6 at 4:14pm est. only time will tell. going to be interesting to see when the first matte screen gets shipped. i ordered the stock system (already have a 500gb 7200 and 8gb ram waiting).

ciao,
mike.

Ok, let's get a show of hands...who is calling their local store and see if they are in.

I just cannot believe that they would wait to stock the stores just because others ordered back in early January. I wouldn't do that in a million years, unless stocking the stores with a few models would prevent me from meeting the delivery date issued to the preorder buyer.

Apple always satisfys the pre-orders before putting the computers in store, thats good customer service. The stores will know the day before if they are going to get them in the next day, they don't get told a lot.

Yesterday I looked and it said "not yet shipped" with an ETA of "by the 19th."

So your delivery estimate was 19th, not ship date like most were pushed to.


I think with the responses so far, clearly the earlier orders are being filled first.
 
Well, Apple can change policy anytime. I am about to call them here and will report back.

I placed my order on Feb 2nd. I wonder how far behind I am. Still says "Not yet shipped" and Apple hasn't taken the money.

I don't think that Apple officially will charge your card, if a US order, until after it ships. This was my experience on the other stocked items in my order.
 
Yeah, just called the Apple local retail store and they said nothing is in yet, but they acknowledged some are shipping for the preorders (as we know) and their store estimates stock arriving early March.

I put my name in anyway just in case something falls through and my online order is delayed, but they get some in the store.

Always good to have a backup.
 
I ordered mine on Jan. 6, originally with matte screen, but changed it later to glossy. My ship date has always been Feb 20 even when I changed the screen. My credit card was pre-authorized today but my status still shows as Ship date of Feb 20 and I have not received a shipping confirmation email yet.

Ohhh, I hope it comes soon!
 
I can pretty much say that no one's ship date will move up, however, it appears that it is likely your item will arrive sooner than expected since they are moving them quickly (I am assuming quickly).

I think that some with 19th ship dates already shipping is a great sign.
 
Hopefully mine will be soon. Apple discussions seem to suggest the orders from the 7th are going out too. Hopefully mine will be soon. I ordered 11th of Jan.
 
Still waiting for this to pop up in the store instead of ordering online. I just want the base model. :eek:
 
My fault, no orders with 19th ship dates have shipped that I can tell from those shipped already. I misread a post.

What is "Prepared for Shipment"?

My order was changed from " not yet shipped " to this.
i ordered on Jan. 7th... in US..
 
here is the screenshot, but it still 'ships: Feb. 19th'
