Sounds greats!!!!!

But why the fingerprint reader? kinda seems like a hassle to always plug in a USB dongle just to use your MBP.
 
This is the same spec as mine, mine took 2 weeks to build and be sent, but worth the wait,

Since you bought everything tops, you could have just gotten directly from the store; of course they sell this configuration at the store, it's like it will be shipped from a warehouse and you'll just have to wait few days.

OK, i'm confused. Online, just about everything in his order is custom-built. I don't think you can go to the store and buy one. Shipping is likely the two weeks quoted by wesjones.
