Mine was finally delivered this evening. Have spent the last 4 hours setting it up and getting it configured to my liking. I took some photos getting it out of the box:
My "Late" Late 2013 Mac Pro

So this felt like a stripe tease (drooled on my keyboard a little bit), even Mr. or Miss Kitty came in for the undressing.
I'm pleased to say that I just received notification that the nMP is ready to pick up at the Apple Store.
Order originally placed 1/16. 16BG/6C/1T/D500
Since the shipment times seem to be getting faster (i.e., 7 vs. 8 weeks) I hope that these times continue to shrink for current and new orders.
Many thanks to everyone for the continued updates and the spreadsheet info.

La bete noire. Cest magnifique!
Well, the object of my desire has finally arrived this morning at 10 AM (UPS) with overnight shipping (never requested by me, but given by Apple). It was shipped last evening from Texas.
Ordered Jan. 12:
3.5GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon E5
16GB 1866MHz DDR3 ECC - 4X4GB
512GB PCIe-based Flash Storage
Dual AMD FirePro D300-2GB VRAM
Wait Log:
Two emails in February saying it will be shipped in February.
Credit Card approved for Apple Care on 2-24-14
Credit Card approved for Mac Pro itself on 2-27-14
Phone call from Texas on 2-27-14 saying Mac Pro will be shipped in 5-7 days.
On 3-3-14 got email from Apple saying nMP will be shipped in 5-7 days, with delivery between Mar. 10-12.
Email on 3-5-14 saying nMP will be delivered overnite and Ill receive it on 3-6-14
I think Ill stare at it a while like Bilbo, Froto, or Gollum looking at their Precious. But, then after my precious warms up Ill put her to work.
Good luck and fortune to all still involved in the Waiting Game. This cold winter does not make it any easier.

Glad to hear it. I ordered the same configuration through Adorama on 1/9. Hopefully this means they'll be getting my order in the next day or two (if not today as well).
It's finally here!!
Ordered 12/19 about 8:00 am, finally arrived via FedEx next day on 3/6 at 11:10 am.
Now comes the really hard part--it's here, but I won't be able to open it since I will be out until early evening. I've taken it out of the shipping box, but I won't get around to opening the package and seeing exactly what this bad boy can do until later in this evening.
Delayed gratification is a virtue I would happily forgo....

it will be worth the wait! Better take the time and enjoy the unboxing. it doesn't come around too often esp with mac pro updates

quick reply as I'm having too much fun here, WOW thats all i gotta say system is brilliant, it comes loaded with 10.9 so you have to run an update, but thing is pretty awesome, ill check back but my dec 26th order is delivered as of march 6th, took forever but so far its amazing
Came in today! Thanks for keeping me sane while waiting for my Mac Pro these past few m
Ordered the exact same jan 18. Preparing to ship. Let us know when it actually ships. I'm wondering how long it stays in preparing to ship.
Is it me or do the delays seem to be getting longer? I ordered early in the morning and got mine about a month later. Now people are waiting 3 months. What the heck is Apple doing? They must have really underestimated the demand... or think it will drop off eventually.
Same here. Now I just need to figure out how I am going to get it as I will be at work and no one can accept it. I wonder if it will be a before 10:30am delivery or by end of day.
Is there a way to request it be held for pick up or will UPS have to make 1 delivery attempt menaing Ill have to pick it up tuesday.
Thanks

It depends on policy of sender. It may not be easy such as Dell does not allow to hold products at nearest Fedex office. I doubt Apple will allow to do that as Mac Pro is expensive. It is some sort of security.
I ordered the same exact model and discount as you! Mine arrived at the store yesterday! Been down with the flu so won't get a chance to set up until later this weekend when I can focus
yes indeed, i remember! mine is (hopefully) sitting tight at the local UPS warehouse until i can pick it up monday morning. after nearly 2 months it's terrible waiting another 2 days when i know its only about a mile away!
Mine is supposed to be delivered Monday but I won't be home. I scheduled it for will call Monday using my ups and it clearly said it will be available Monday for pick up. This am I get a delivery alert email from ups saying it is scheduled for delivery tomorrow. I logged on to my ups and it still shows hold for will call. Also it says out for deliver as of 5am. It's Sunday so that can't be right lol.
