So I just got off the horn with Apple sales and changed my order around slightly, I had gotten a 100gb 7200rpm HD in my 17in MBP so it was CTO, but I changed my mind and switched it to the 160gb standard system.
The woman I spoke to assured me that my shipping dates would not change if the order was changed, however, my previous dates of November 10th shipping, november 1th receival have now changed to November 15th shipped and november 20th received *grumble*.
The good news is I started asking a million questions and received some nice answers.
Basically it works like this, those of us that ordered the 17inch MBPs on the 24th were seeing ship dates around the 9th or 10th of November, with receive dates around the 13th or 14th.
These are very estimated dates however. Apple is planning to send the 17inchers out next Monday the 7th, but as they always give them self a 3day window to ship for safeties sake (hence 7 to 10 days) they just added 3 days to that to allow that window of time.
Peoples shipments will range from 2 day to 5day depending on location (if you bought the speedy shipping option which most of us probably did, you got hosed because it doesnt really matter). So for most of the people who ordered their 17inchers stock on or around the 24th of september you will be seeing your books as early as the 9th.
I would guess mac stores are going to be picking up the 17s around the 7th as well for those waiting to do instore pickups.
My dates were changed to 7business days from today and on the phone I Was told thursday the 9th (7 b days from today), and receiving it around the 13th or 14th. While on my order im seeing 14th (10b days from today) witha 20th delivery.
I would imagine I will be seeing my 17inch standard book on or around the 13th of november assuming things go speedy!
Hope this helps anyone who is mashing the refresh button on their order page.
