Oh, it was not custom, you're right. That is more interesting. Perhaps they order X amount of each, and if you bought a customized one early, they might ship yours sooner if fewer people are ahead of you for that specific model??
Got a tip for us?

Macbook Pro was drop shipped Wednesday of last week around noon, still haven't gotten a tracking number.
I'm guessing Adorama's 7-10 day shipping estimate applies even with drop shipments so I'm guessing I shouldn't expect it until Wednesday at the earliest anyway.

I ordered the base model nTB and got the package last Wednesday. Funny part is, instead of a MacBook Pro inside the package was something called an Intuos Pro...
They acknowledged their mistake and agreed to overnight me a MacBook pro once the return package was scanned in. That was done on Thursday and still haven't received tracking for the replacement. So far not the best customer service experience.

Not surprised to hear this at all. Hope this works out well for you without any hassle. Press them if you have any difficulty. Best wishes.
I was about to put in a order in for a 15" touch bar MacBook pro with the 2.9 ghz i7, 16 gb ram and 512 ssd, and 460 graphics card but I got a email saying its backordered, so I called them and they told me if I order it will come some time since they have no eta on shipping times, I ended up ordering with b&h and they price matched adorama.
Did you get the AppleInsider Adorama deal w/ the AppleCare? Or was it just a MacBook?
Nice. B&H didn't even respond to me before, when I asked for a price match. Oh well, hope Adorama is shipping soon!
So I called b&h and talked to someone in their computer department and I told them Adorama is selling the computer with apple care for this price and the sales person had me forward the quote I got from them and he sent it to the price matching department and they agreed to match it.
So no it has not the sales person did not give me a date or anything, all he said was they had 83 people who preceded the same model with the same specs and color and that they ordered a 100 computers and this is their first shipment. When I log into my b&h account it says December 15th, but I don't know if that is the actual date it will ship or if its just a date they place when you order.
I see. Adorama is expected to get into on Dec 16, so I think your date is accurate!
Well if that is the case that is good. See when I called Adorama all they told me was the computer was backordered and that they had no ETA.
Whenever I ask, they say the same thing, but one time I managed to get a live chat person to tell me the exact date of when the expected shipping day was, LOL.
I'm having my Macbook Pro shipped to my workplace along with the Applecare kit and it looks like the Applecare kit arrived today. Thankfully I checked the tracking because my boss' wife had taken the kit for herself--apparently my name wasn't on the exterior label. (Not maliciously, she had assumed one of her children had ordered it.)
Now I'm slightly panicking because god knows what's going to happen when the actual computer arrives. I don't need anyone else trying to take my $1700 purchase. I'm waiting for someone with Adorama to pop up in Live Chat so hopefully I can get a tracking number from them finally.

They could really care less when you go abroad. Did you really expect them to ship quicker because you are going out of town?
Ordered my 13" TB 2.9/8/512 on 11/28. It shipped today for delivery on Thursday. Amex was charged this morning and just got just got the shipping confirmation.
Upgraded shipping from Adorama? LOL!
Have not used them is years but remember that they were a sleazy retailer that would cheat you in a second. Maybe they have changed, maybe not.
