I ordered mine on the 24th

I see people at the start of the week are being shipped, anyone from the 19th onwards having much joy?

I had a dream last night that the order went to shipped, but when I checked this morning it was still processing :( I was slightly upset about it.

I think you should see a change in about a week as apple look to be up to around the 17/18th for shipping rMBP's out.

Thats what I'm thinking as well, however I'm hoping that the demand is like a bell curve and the orders shipping now are at the peak of the bell, so things should speed up. Oh well it''s in a race to be here before my new bed, i think the bed will win.
 
I ordered mine on the 18th and it's flying with Lufthansa to Heathrow with a stopover in Frankfurt now!
 
After having it for 24hrs, I'm just still amazed of the quality of the display, it's such a joy to use. It feels like the Matte display 17inch MBP, with the same screen estate & the non reflective screen, and smooth soft text on screen. It also feels so much thinner and lighter than the previous MBP than I expected, very easy to carry around. It really spent feel your carrying a 15" laptop.

Only downside is that I have to purchase an Ethernet adapter from the apple store today. It looks like you will need this once in a blue moon, I need it migration assistant.
 
I wonder why UPS are sending my rMBP from Germany to Kazakhstan? Very odd route to be taking...still if it arrives on Monday as it says i'll be happy.

Its probably part of a larger container. Mine stopped in Kazakhstan before Germany.
 
Runaround?

I ordered a 2.6 16gb 512gb on the 15th from Western Computers, I was told 2-3 weeks instore.

I have just received an email from the sales guy saying that the day after it went to 4-5 weeks, I know this is wrong as it was 3-4 weeks. But he has also told me he contacted apple and the status is Sent to manufacturing, I have been reading a lot of posts on this an other posts and haven't seen anyone mention that?

I also rang them on Wednesday and was told it was preparing to ship?

I haven't got a expected delivery date from them either, I am beginning to wonder if they messed up and didn't put the order in on the 15th!

The sales guy is a nice bloke, I don't want to kick up to much of a fuss but I want my bl**y new MacBook Pro Retina, like yesterday :mad:

Can you ask for a copy of the order to see when it was placed?

I have asked for an apple reference so I can check with them directly , but I'll probably get the sorry we can't do that routine!

Have you ever heard of "sent to manafacturing" ?

Never ever heard of that and it's a weird thing to say as surely all orders are sent to manufacturing as they need to be built!
 
Been wondering why my new rMBP has been doing wacky things when I'm using the trackpad :confused:

Just remembered, it supports 3- and 4-finger gestures - my old one only supported 2-fingers duh! :eek:

Use BetterTouchTool (free on MAS) to customise them all if they're not to your liking as default... V good app.
 
Except that these people are Resellers so the order process will be different - prices will be lower for one thing!!


After I was told its was preparing to ship on Wednesday, I was foolishly expecting the email I received today to say it had been shipped, not sent to manafacturing. I hate it when you get that feeling a cock up has been made and you are not being told.


Still 3 weeks down surely I'm past the half way stage...
 
This wait is killing me! Hurry up UPS - keep on looking out the window at every little hint of a truck noise!

Thanks. I've got Magic Prefs installed which is a similar thing, although the main issue is not that I don't like the behaviour, it's that I'd forgotten it even existed.

I actually find the default 3- and 4-finger gestures really useful, but I may tweak them sometime.
