I'm sure Apple has legions of people working on these Pros, but from the way they're handling things it seems like one guy builds through most of a month, then walks over to shipping and ships everything he built during the last few days of the month.
Meanwhile that one guy now only has 48 hours, give or take a couple for time zones.

Somehow my shipping got upgraded to 2 day and not next day. :S so maybe it'll come tomorrow (not holding my breath) but fedex says itll be here 8pm friday, right when im supposed to be out at a concert.
February 26th. If it doesn't go from 'Processing' to 'Shipped" by Friday afternoon, I'll be pissed.
There are some reports (and some rumor) of QC issues: http://michaelkammes.com/apple/how-i-killed-the-new-mac-pro/
Frankly, I would rather Apple take its time in producing the nMPs. While I (and I'm sure others) want my Pro now (childlike whine), I'd rather have it later, but right.
I think all of my problems with the nMP ordering stem from Apple's communications. In 20/20 hindsight, Apple should have admitted that they couldn't actually launch the nMP in 2013. Orders should have had firm shipping dates, even if those dates were in the far future. I.e., promise a realistic date, then improve the date if possible (underpromise, overdeliver). Don't promise "February" when you mean "February 28th at 11:59:59pm PDT." Also, don't claim to be processing sales in-order when clearly some Pros are shipping before others that were ordered earlier.
I write all this knowing full well that I couldn't manage the BTO line and produce accurate estimates of orders' completion. I'd like to think that Apple has fairly deep experience with these matters. The alternating silence and ambiguity leaves customers to speculate, which isn't helping anyone.

I feel really sorry for those who have been waiting for nMP since last December, and Apple's bloody attitude makes my blood boil.
I think they should compensate for this delay if there is still someone waiting for February shipping in March.....

They charged my CC on the 15th, and late last evening (the 26th) it went to Preparing for Shipment.
Interesting phone call from Apple. They told me there is a delay in shipping my Mac Pro. I ordered on the 20th December and was in the Feburary dispatch time. Apple Said that there is a delay on it for between 5-7 working days. Apple is not keeping the promised dispatch time of some time in Feburary. This is not on. 4 core d500s 12GB 256GB SSD. Also they told me that my order is coming from shanghai.

That is pretty frustrating, AppMann - mind telling us where you're at and when you ordered? I could not find you on the spreadsheet...

Mine is out for delivery now--59 days after ordering on Dec. 30. Normally they arrive before 3:00 pm here or as early as 10:00 am. Everything is in place: keyboard, mouse, displays, external drivers, etc. Mine is a configure to order.

Shipping to store
Mine has been 'shipping to store' since Monday night. Does anyone know how fast/slow that typically goes? I'm in California.

My card was charged last Thursday, got the notification for pickup yesterday (Wednesday), hopefully yours is a bit more speedy.
Anyone Order a Mac Pro Recently? I see everyone here has just received or is getting it very soon.
Order just shipped! Tracking doesn't work yet but I'm happily waiting for my new Mac Pro.
