I feel your pain. No chance of a Tuesday now, unless Exp is very out of date (I've heard it happen before)

If I'm honest, I never really thought Tuesday was on the cards. Was really hoping for Wednesday though, and even that will be in jeopardy shortly, if there isn't any movement pretty soon.
 
BTW guys, Amazon UK has at least 6 retina MBPs in stock. I ordered one this morning, it's due for delivery tomorrow.

Who needs to wait for Apple, 'eh?
 
Ahh. How confusing! Thanks for the help Jake.

So CRD90, we're gonna be truck buddies too? Where is yours heading? Anything to merge? Wonder if we'll get it on the same day - Apple estimate mine as July 6th.

We sure are!

Mine has to get merged with the student gift card, then it's up to Edinburgh. I'm also estimated for the 6th, but I'm slightly optimistic that it'll make it by the 5th!

People who need BTO :(

Personally, 8GB/256GB HD is sufficient. 15" rMBP is the first Mac I've bought off-the-shelf for that reason. I just use the Time Capsule for storing data as a "cloud" drive - which means the 256GB HD is enough.
 
Yay! Just over 12 hours after getting the 'Preparing for Shippment' status mine has changed to 'Shipped' - from 14th, see signature for details!
 
Mine is now marked as "shipped" - it only went to awaiting shipment this morning...

Originally Apple said I would get it 19th July - how long does it take normally? - i.e *could* i get it this week?

Press the track button and it will tell you! Mine was originally 12-18 July and its now the 9th!

I hope this is all you need, but I find that however much disk space I think I need, I always need more.

I think with the rMBPs, Apple should offer more in store configurations (with more ram and disk space options) as the machines cannot be upgraded. I would imagine that 16GB/512GB would be a popular configuration for power users if offered.
 
Does Expo continue to track once it's arrived in the UK or does it only track international ?

My understanding is that it tracks until the point at which it's handed over to the domestic courier, which occurs either upon arrival at Heathrow or at the merging center. I might be wrong though.

I think someone on this thread earlier said that theirs stopped tracking on Expo entirely, and was only updated after delivery! That's what I'm crossing my fingers for :)

Me too.

I just got an email from Apple saying:

"Your order has left Apple and you will have received a Dispatch Notification email advising you of the expected delivery date. Please note your items are shipping from different locations and will be merged, for your convenience, so that you will receive on single delivery. As a result please allow 2-3 business days for your Order Status to be updated online. You can view this information at any time by clicking here"

Literally one of the most pointless, anti-climactic emails I've ever received. :(

Expo hasn't updated for me since it cleared Customs. Like you I hope it's just not updating, not that it hasn't moved!

You've only just got it? I got that when mine left the factory :confused:

I just got this 5 mins ago too, and mine left Apple on friday.
 
My delivery estimate has changed again!
Was originally 18th, then when it shipped today it changed to the 9th and now it has changed to this Thursday (5th!) - I now have a UPS tracking number and it seems to be coming direct form China!

This happen to anyone else?!
