Adorama Puchase Thread

[Mxbzz]

No movement on mine-- I ordered on 11/19. The "Shipping Soon" is coming from the free computer sleeve, but the MBP itself is still "Backordered".

So I just checked my adorama account it says - Backordered/Shipping Soon that that mean it will ship soon ?

Just curious for those of you that switched from Adorama to B&H-

Adorama did not charge me for the full price of the Macbook up front. I was charged for Applecare, and the remainder was to be charged when they had the laptop in stock.

B&H charged me for everything immediately, even though they estimate a ship date of the first week in January. Is charging up front common for most retailers? I purchase 99% of my items via Amazon, and they don't have this policy. Just curious.

Well b&h told me they only charge a pre Auth to make sure you can pay for the laptop.

MacBook Pro is in the house!

It arrived Monday afternoon but I was only able to get a hold of my time machine drive last night. Decided to set it up for Time Machine to do its thing while I'm at work today since it'll be pulling over 400GB of data via USB 2.0 as I can't interface the hard drive's FW800 port with the computer.

This is my first portable computer, super excited. Next step is to find a nice sleeve for it. I won't be taking it out of the house, but I'd love to protect it from wear and tear when not in use.

Got an email today! ...to tell me my MBP is still backordered.

I guess the benefit of this is seeing all the deals for the 2015 MBP pop up. I think Fry's has the 512/R9 15" for $1600 tomorrow. Heavily considering picking one of those up and revisiting these new ones after the kinks have been worked out.

Don't rely on Fry's deals. It's already gone and it was only store pickup for a few open box or demo models across the country.

On a side note, B&H today started showing several BTO models as in stock. I assume their first patch arrived and these are what are left after pre-order fulfillment.

Thanks for the update.

 

[Blackforge]

Hmm.... BH has my configuration in stock. If they'll match the price, I may try to switch my order tomorrow.

Did you wind up price matching? BH has my configuration in stock (sans the free Brenthaven case) but I'm not in dire need to have my MBP yet.

 

[AAP8]

So B&H Matched Adorama's price, I lost out on the free sleeve, but got Parallels 12 in place so not a bad swap out - B&H has my exact setup in stock - so now off to cancel from Adorama

 

[kyleeeee]

So... I just chatted with an Adorama person. Estimated date of delivery is mid February! WTF! At this point, I don't think B&H will ship much earlier either. Might have to walk in to Apple and buy...

Just had BH price match. They told me I should receive it by the 3rd.

They do not have my model in stock.

 

[lu0s3r322]

They do not have my model in stock.

They just added your model I think. I cancelled my Adorama order and was able to price match with B&H. They just put my model as in stock about an hour ago.
