I ordered my base model rMPB on 6 July (EDU discount)

Got 7-13th August delivery dates.

Don't know why I keep checking my order status each day lol

Glad to see lots of them being delivered early!

good luck with those dates.. a month has seemed like a lifetime. two weeks longer is going to be a killer :(

By how much would this make a difference?

From what others have said, about two days. For me, that might be important as I have to leave shortly after the rMBP is due to arrive. Something came up I wasn't planning for when I ordered the computer! =) I was reading the other 'order' thread and someone who ordered on the 21st went into 'preparing'. I'm hoping my situation is similar so I get my gift card!
 
Alright boys i just shipped! Estimated delivery is July 18th, too bad i wont get it before the weekend :)

2.3/16gb ordered june 19th edu pricing.

whats the general window between ship notification and then delivery to London UK?

Looks like 6 working days was right on the money.

Mine would have shipped today too then had I not cancelled my original order 2 days later to change specs :mad::p

I'm hopeful the £70 voucher doesnt delay it too much. Think it only added a day onto my iMac for merging last year.

I know how you feel, kinda. Ordered on the 15/6 for a base model and I too am still processing. Hopefully it can change this week for both us, for the sake of our sanity and so we can get it within our delivery window. I've been trying to work out the dates, and I think mine and yours really has to move this week, preferably before Thursday for them to stand any chance to fulfil their delivery estimate.

Rather frustrating coming back into this thread to see people ordering almost a week later than you but with the 16gb BTO config getting theres before ours. It's clearly because they're churning out base models for the stores before actual online orders.

Anybody know if we can find out factory production times, or what time they have changed from processing? I'm under the impression that we won't find out now at least until tomorrow (early hours) as I can't imagine the factory being open 24 hours production. Getting really frustrated now over this wait.
 
To be fair, I would have cancelled my rMBP order if i wasn't ordering a 16gb ram model ages a go. There's lots of stock out there from retailers on the high street or online who would deliver a lot faster.

Even more frustrating, on the general order status thread three people who ordered base models on the 19th and 23rd just got theirs changed to preparing to ship. I ordered on the 17th (or even earlier in your case) yet still nothing.
 
Well my wait is finally over :D Its on the UPS van and should be here by the end of the day tomorrow.

Quite a bit earlier than the quoted 17th till 23rd July (ordered on 16/6) so i'm pretty chuffed right now. So there is plenty of hope out there for some earlier deliveries if mines anything to go by.

Now lets see what all this fuss is about.

Mine arrived today, delivered in 5 working days. Was dispatched on July 4th. It was merged with the voucher and a superdrive. This machine is an absolute animal!

Saving £150 (or whatever AppleCare Retina price is) in favour of the online only free 3 year education warranty kinda stops me from doing this unfortunately.

Equally it's only Apple who offer the 14% education discount, not 3rd party sellers and it seems that even now there is still mass stockage shortage in official Apple stores.

mine is still processing..
i'm beginning to doubt whether it will even make the delivery estimate right now - as its got about 12 days left and seems to take forever to get from wherever, including when it reaches the uk. wish i'd bought the bloody 16gb upgrade now. frustration overload.

Doubtful, it arrives in LHR at 20:00 tomorrow and then will have to clear customs. Then be passed onto the final shipping company (most likely UPS).

I had originally ordered a 2.6/8/512 on the 11th and then cancelled it after realizing the ram was non-upgradable. That laptop took 2 days to clear customs and a further 2 days to be merged and delivered.

For me anyway, I'm thinking it'll be about Wed next week. Although wouldnt mind if it managed to get here earlier ;-)

The expo tracking has just updated with
16-Jul-2012 14:00:00 GMT Requested Delivery Date

To this is the date for handover to the final carrier, so Wed/Thu is likely delivery dates
