I am. In US. Ordered October 24th, was set to ship 7th. Updated to ship 9th-14th the evening of the 7th. I guess I still have one more day left.

Cut the fanboy nonsense, it IS just a computer. Say it with me "it is JUST a computer" If you NEED it, you should have gotten a CD 17" MBP to hold you over or a different machine. But it IS just a computer. I ordered a 17" MBP, but had to go to a 15" with the same specs because I NEEDED it (and because I saved a little money and got it for under $2k) and I got it today. I would have gotten a 17" CD MBP if I didn't already have one that I sold a while back.
yeah. i'm in the US, have a cto (glossy, 200G hd) build, ordered early on oct 24th, and have no ship notification. bastards.
if they'd said it made a difference, i would've gone matte. it isn't like i cared that much, i just figured since i was getting the big hd i might as well get this too.
anyway. i called apple this morning, they offered $50, but had to retract it since i'm purchasing via adc. however, when they retracted it, the guy i talked to (eugene, seemed really nice) did say he had the ability to expedite it, and would be doing so. it's just as well. the latest (current) day for delivery is friday the 17th, and that's the last day i'll be in town before i leave for the holidays.
if it doesn't work out tomorrow, then i will be calling them and inquiring how they plan on keeping me from cancelling. i can fn wait til my current computer dies.
so guys, it's 4AM at the source.. when do we think they'll depart from slow-a**-factory shanghai 
?

Just got the delayed e-mail ordered 24th October. Were really getting screwed around in Europe.
But it was nice of them to include some text in the e-mail this time, last time they were so busy they must have just forgotten to type the letter.
Mac at home is on its last legs hope it doesn't give up on me.
I'm tired of getting so frustrated over this, cant be good for ones health. If i get sick i'm sending Apple the doctors bill.

that's poopie
I have one on the way too. I ordered a 17"(100G HD) and I was E-mailed today @ 9:45ish (EST) that it was shipped.
I've got my FedEx tracking number... now I get to spend the next few days reloading their site and not apple's

Imagine if you lost your job and you couldn't afford medication, food, rent, etc. Now THAT would be frustrating. Let's have some perspective here people...waiting for your $3,000 computer to arrive HARDLY qualifies as frustrating in the grand scheme of things.
I don't see a problem with Apple making less profit for these delayed shipments. I guess it must have hurt to have changed your order for a 15" only to see 17" models start shipping. Especially when people getting 17" MBPs have haggled some good savings too.
....I'm pretty sure there was some humour involved in post 1051 btw
what a nice guy you are. yes no new laptop isnt lifethreatening, but it can be frustrating when its late or on way
I have the glossy on the way, but my shipped MacBook Pro still shows, "Package data transmitted to FedEx" for my FedEx status.... Last time I got a MBP the FedEx tracking didn't update until AFTER I got the machine... So, I'm hoping all is OK.
I ordered Aperture and iWork last night and it shipped today too! So far, so good...
25%? Good on you, and it's strange you're complaining about people getting a measly $50-100 off
To everyone waiting, the updates do not happen in real time at all on the webpage. I just got my 15" on Friday, but for awhile I was convinced it had been sitting in China for two days until it finally updating as being in Indiana. So don't panic. For reference, here is my tracking info, noting that I did NOT have express shipping:
i second what dave said above; their tracking is fast, but not in realtime. when my 15" machine was delivered today, my cell phone got the "its delivered" email a full 30 minutes before the tracking page reflected it.
20:25 on the expected shipping date, and I receive this......
Dear xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,
Exactly as I was saying!!!!

And how fun it is...just stirring the pot btw.
It's the "milk em for everything they got" attitude that I can't stand.
nope, buddy who works for Apple...but I'm taking my bow and leaving you all to your shipping fiascos.
